Logistics prices have skyrocketed! 1KG will exceed 200! Sellers are crying...

After the outbreak, the aviation industry suffered a huge setback, and the price of international logistics has also been rising! However, sellers never expected that one day the price of logistics would soar to 200 yuan per kilogram!

Yesterday, the post office issued an announcement to increase the price of E-mail to the United States. The specific announcement is as follows:

The lifting price suddenly increased from 100 yuan to 170 yuan, which is really unbearable. In addition, it is understood that the current "e-mail and related regulations" stipulate that the transportation surcharge for offline charges to the United States is 90 yuan/kg, while on April 10, the price was 20 yuan/kg, an increase of more than 3 times. In addition, relevant sources revealed that the current price of e-mail is not the peak, and it will soon exceed 250 yuan/kg...

It is understood that this is the third price increase of the post office this month! The previous two price increases were:

On the 9th, the postal service announced for the first time that it would increase the cost of packages to the United States. Starting from the 13th, a transportation surcharge of 10 yuan per 500 grams will be added.

On the 23rd, the Post Office issued an emergency announcement, announcing that the price of E Express to the United States would be increased starting from the 26th.

This price increase has a greater impact on sellers than any other time in the past. For a 100-gram product, it only cost 23.5 yuan (about 3.36 U.S. dollars) before the price increase, but 40.5 yuan (about 5.79 U.S. dollars) after the price increase. For heavier products, the impact on shipping costs will be greater. Sellers must pay attention to calculating shipping costs and adjust the backend shipping template.

In addition, even if the price increases, the delivery time cannot be guaranteed! According to the official website of China Post Express Logistics, the delivery time of various mails in some countries such as Australia, France, Portugal, and New Caledonia will be affected to varying degrees by the epidemic. France, Portugal, and New Caledonia continue to suspend the delivery signature service, and cannot guarantee the provision of receipt certificates to recipients.

In addition to the post office, a new round of surcharges from FedEx is coming!

FedEx will adjust the temporary route adjustment surcharge rates for most international parcel and heavy cargo shipments exported from mainland China starting April 27, 2020. The temporary route adjustment surcharge rates for international parcel and heavy cargo shipments imported into mainland China remain unchanged.

Temporary route adjustment surcharges from April 6 to 26, 2020

Temporary route adjustment surcharges effective April 27, 2020

For all international parcel and heavy cargo shipments, this temporary route adjustment surcharge has a minimum charge. International Parcel 1 shipment: minimum charge per shipment RMB 7; International Heavy Cargo 2 shipment: minimum charge per shipment RMB 350...

In addition to the Postal and Federal Express, eBay's SpeedPAK shipping rates to the United States and Canada have also skyrocketed!

The specific adjustments are as follows:

The shipping cost from mainland China to the United States is 170 yuan/kg, plus an additional 15 yuan handling fee for each package. A group of eBay sellers are already crying at home!
