Starting from June 1, some Chinese express delivery companies will hike up delivery fees

Delivery fees refer to the income a courier gets from collecting or delivering mail or a parcel, insiders said

Companies including YTO, STO, ZTO, Yunda and Best have all published a notice on 56ec.org.cn, a Chinese e-commerce logistics service portal

The companies asked all outlets to increase delivery fees by 0.15 yuan per ticket, effective from June 1

All the express companies involved in the hike operate on a franchise model, and said the move was aimed at improving delivery service quality and preventing cutthroat competition

However, SF Express, an industry leader that sticks to a company-owned model, will not hike up prices
