Do couriers usually have to change trains halfway? What do you mean by transit?

Express delivery usually has to be transshipped halfway.

Logistics transit means that goods need to be transported to a prefecture-level city or county and other small cities. After the logistics is transported to a big city, it needs to be transported to a designated prefecture-level city. Different modes of transportation refer to different transfers.

Automobile transportation is generally carried by special line companies to another provincial capital city and then transferred to a prefecture-level city. Air transport means that after being transported to the airport, it is transported to the designated place by car. Generally, railways and sea transportation arrive at stations and ports and then transfer to other stations and ports. If it is delivered, the car needs to be transferred again.

Extended data:

The appearance of the courier cabinet was originally intended to enable the courier to reach the customers smoothly. When the recipient cannot sign in person, there are two traditional solutions:

First, customers estimate the time in advance and wait for the express delivery, but as a service industry, it is obviously inappropriate to let "God" wait.

Second, when the customer is convenient, the courier brother will send it again. Although this is convenient for customers, from the perspective of the whole logistics link, such a "round trip" cost is too high, and it is consumers who feed back the price.

Therefore, once the express cabinet came out, it was welcomed by the market. Nowadays, in some large residential quarters or units in Changsha, there are usually express cabinets such as beehives and rookie stations as "transfer stations" for express delivery.
