Japan Post: August 2015 Revised Package Basic Freight Increased By 30~320 Yen

Japan Post revised the basic freight rate of the parcel, which rose by 30~320 yen. The main reason for the freight alteration was the fact that the personnel costs and pportation fees of the Japanese express industry were rising continuously.

The basic freight rates for postal parcels will be revised in August 2015. Freight rates will rise by 30~320 yen depending on specifications and distribution areas.

This is the first time that postal parcels have risen in price in 23 years.

However, the basic freight is changed to the general consumers only. The company and the contract with the postal service are not in the price range.

Reporters from Japan's recent reports learned that the Japanese express industry personnel costs and shipping costs continue to rise is the main reason for the change of freight rates.

Japan Post said: "we are striving to maintain the stability of services, but the cost of personnel is rising and freight rates are rising. We need to reflect our cost system at the right price."

But at the same time, before giving preferential treatment to users, there will be a certain increase in the discount price after the price increases.

For example, the customer will send the parcel to the pickup point without the need for the courier to pick it up. The price of each package is 120 yen from 100 yen.

As for the signing of a contract with a company legal person, "since JPEX was liquidated and incorporated into the then post office company, the cost of the cooperation has been adjusted individually, so the basic freight is changed and the enterprise is not within the scope of implementation."

The head of publicity explained.

In addition, the operation will be improved in the future, even if personnel costs and pportation will be increased.

Post will also strive to be enterprise oriented.

At the same time, Japan Post also expressed the hope of further improving its services and improving its convenience. Therefore, several new services were launched.

If consumers leave an email address when purchasing online, they will send an email notice when the goods are shipped.

The service is expected to be officially launched after mid November.

The processing speed of cash on delivery will also be accelerated, and the remittance fee will be adjusted to a unified price (if the amount is less than 50 thousand yen, it will still be charged according to the original standard 130~540 yen).

In addition, the choice of remittance banks will also expand, and no longer support postal banks only.
