A new parcel delivery service based around a mobile phone application that pairs customers with freelance couriers is growing in popularity in Shanghai. It is also being closely monitored by the Shanghai Postal Management Bureau to ensure there is no disruption to the order of the industry. The app, known in English as “Everyone’s Express,” has been developed by RRKD Express and makes it possible for anyone over 18 with a GPS-enabled mobile phone to work as a courier. Customers pay between CNY15 and CNY35 to have a parcel delivered in the city, with the courier taking 80% and RRKD 20%. The company promises delivery within the hour, and if there is a delay customers are free to deduct a percentage of the due payment. It accepts parcels valued up to CNY500. Traditional courier services charge between CNY5 and CNY12 for a cross-city next-day delivery. Xie Qin, Founder of RRKD, said the company has applied to the Postal Bureau for a courier license. It has already been given approval to operate in Sichuan province. RRKD now has 100 franchises, about 5 million users and more than 1 million couriers, Xie said, as reported by the Shanghai Daily.
