Price hikes begin before Nov 11 shopping frenzy

Along with the price hike by the delivery firms, the cost of receiving packages has recently shown potential growth. Self-service package locker Hive Box has told users they could choose to reward their couriers or not by opening the locker to fetch their parcels, as some said they need to pay an extra yuan to get their parcels out.

Some big online spenders fear rising delivery fees and the increasing cost of receiving parcels could be a bad influence on the industry, while more and more sectors related to the industry would find ways to raise costs. Things may change a lot in the next month, and most people are content to wait and see.
