Why is the delivery fee so high?

Nowadays, the development of society and network makes our life more and more convenient. I want to eat, I don't want to cook by myself, and I don't want to go out. Want to wear new clothes, don't want to go shopping, Taobao

Speaking of which, as long as people who have ordered takeout (Meituan takeaway, hungry, Baidu takeaway, word of mouth, etc. ) You will find that the delivery fee for takeout is very high, and 5 yuan, 8 yuan and 10 yuan are all normal. However, when shopping in Taobao, Tmall, Suning.cn, JD.COM or other shopping platforms, the courier fee is about 5 yuan, which is so far away. So why is the price difference between take-away within 3 kilometers and nationwide express delivery so much?

No one will pay for your laziness.

Shopping platforms such as Taobao, Tmall, Suning.cn and JD.COM have really facilitated our lives and changed our shopping habits. But in general, things bought on these platforms are not urgent, and clothes and shoes can be worn in two days; Furniture and electrical appliances, it is not very important to install them two days later. However, it is impossible to wait two days for dinner.

Even if you are lazy to eat, you don't want to do it yourself or even walk to eat. So, who will pay for your laziness?

2. Production cost

The platform makes money, and the take-away income consists of two parts: the cost of the product itself and the delivery fee, and the cost of the product itself, that is, the meal fee should be given to the hotel (the merchant where the platform is located) and the delivery fee should also be given to the delivery staff. So, if the delivery fee is not high, how can the platform be profitable?

On the other hand, the courier can deliver the goods all day, while the delivery is only a few hours a day. In order to ensure income, the delivery staff must pay a high delivery fee.

Go against tradition

When eating in the store, plates and chopsticks can be reused, but when ordering takeout, packing boxes and chopsticks are disposable. We have been emphasizing saving and recycling, but it is a waste to order takeout. On the one hand, packaging boxes and chopsticks must have costs; On the other hand, contrary to tradition, waste also needs to pay a price.
