SF Holding(SZ:002352) Sou Hu Cai Jing·2026-02-18 21:25Core Insights - The article provides a comprehensive guide on how to choose the most cost-effective logistics company for parcel delivery, emphasizing that no single company is the cheapest for all scenarios [3][4]. Pricing Insights - Pricing varies significantly among logistics companies based on factors such as package weight, delivery distance, time sensitivity, and item type [4]. - For small items (under 5 kg), companies like Jitu, Shentong, and Yuantong offer the best rates, with a recent example showing a 2 kg package from Beijing to Shanghai costing only 9 yuan with Jitu, compared to 49 yuan with SF Express [5]. - For large items (over 10 kg), Debang and Postal Service are recommended for their cost-effectiveness, with a 20 kg package costing 58 yuan with Debang, while the Postal Service offers even lower rates for non-urgent deliveries [5]. Cost-Saving Techniques - Weight and volume are crucial in determining shipping costs, with the larger of the actual weight or volumetric weight being used for pricing [6]. - Timing is important; shipping during peak periods like Double Eleven or before the Spring Festival can increase costs by 20%-50% [6]. - Using personal packaging materials can save on packaging fees, which can range from 3 to 10 yuan per box [6]. Common Pitfalls - Some couriers may quote prices verbally but add hidden fees later; using transparent platforms like "Full Speed Direct" can help avoid this issue [7]. - Choosing to pay on delivery can be more expensive than online payment, with potential additional costs of up to 30% [8]. FAQs and Best Practices - Using comparison tools like "Full Speed Direct" simplifies the process of finding the best shipping rates by automatically comparing prices from multiple companies [9]. - For large items, compressing the volume before shipping and comparing prices among Debang, Postal Service, and JD Express can yield the best deals [9]. - On average, new users who do not compare prices may end up spending over 40% more on shipping costs, while effective comparison can save hundreds of yuan annually [9].
