With the explosion of demand for goods trading and information exchange today, domestic delivery services are also developing rapidly. This is one of the important supporting industries for e-commerce. According to economic experts, Vietnam's express delivery is experiencing outstanding growth in recent years. This industry is also considered to be among the top in the region and will accelerate in the next 10-20 years.
Cargo delivery is a service that collects, receives, and transports goods and items in optimal time, applicable to online and offline business customers nationwide. The service provides many incentives related to collection fees, refunds, receiving goods at multiple addresses, and using warehouses... The feature of the service is that the sender will have to pay a fee to the shipping units to be able to use the service, but in return the sender's goods are transported safely, meeting the shipping requirements.
Previously, to receive goods, it took customers 3-4 days, even 1 week, but now with the strong explosion of fast delivery services, delivery and receipt times are shortened to the maximum. The competition in terms of speed, time, and quality of transportation in the province has become stronger and stronger with many postal, shipping, and delivery businesses participating in the market such as Giao Hang Nhanh, J&T Express, Vietnam Post, Viettel Post, Giao Hang Tiet Kiem, etc., setting up headquarters and developing a network of transit warehouses and post offices throughout the province.
Covid-19 - the cause of the boom in Vietnam's express delivery market
Covid-19 is the driving force driving market demand as well as the investment of businesses in the field of e-commerce. If in the past, selling online was the choice of small businesses and spontaneous entrepreneurs, now, large businesses and B2B sales units also develop websites, apps, or open accounts on e-commerce platforms.
In the process of growth, e-commerce leads to the development of many related fields, such as electronic payment, supporting businesses, and especially express delivery. From post office delivery, online buyers and sellers today are familiar with home delivery - "door to door". More and more units are participating in the field of delivery, investing in large-scale distribution centers, and applying modern technology to shorten delivery time and reduce delivery costs.
