近一个多月来，继圆通、申通相继涨价后，又传出中通涨价的消息。对接连出现的快递公司涨价现象，很多消费者认为是企业单纯为转嫁成本，“提价不提质”。

There is a saying about the dilemma in the courier industry: being the first to increase prices is equal to suicide, but keeping prices low is just waiting for death. These aren't particularly attractive options, so they claim that there have been dramatic price increases.

However, customers say they expect better service for higher prices.

"If the service worth the price, I don't mind paying for that."

Ms. He is a small business owner with , one of China's e-commerce platforms. In a choice between good prices and good service, she prefers good service.

"I expect better service, as when there is any problem with the delivered packages, it would be easy to check."

However, one expert says the service provided by those courier companies is still far from customers' expectations. This is Xu Yong from the China Communications and Transportation Association.

"Currently, there are surplus low-end service providers in the domestic market, but the middle and high end services are insufficient to meet demand. Customers always say they want better service with lower prices, but there are few courier companies that can meet those expectations."

The rapid development of the courier industry in China has been spurred by the explosion of e-commerce in recent years. As these courier companies have yet to adequately prepare for a period of rapid development, the only way they compete with each other is through price wars. Therefore, supporting services and information systems are ignored by these companies, who are striving to walk with quicker steps to catch up with the booming e-commerce industry.

Alamusi from the China Electronic Commerce Association says higher prices won't necessarily bring higher quality of services. High standard services will be the only way out to strengthen the competitiveness of courier companies. And the future trend of the courier industry's development is to provide standardized improved services that are well adapted to transport networks.

Some experts also suggest that the government set up an industry association, like the Express Delivery and Logistics Association which was established in the US in 1976, which has brought good regulation to a sector that has developed global leading express delivery groups like UPS and Federal Express. They believe this industry association should play a dual role as a regulator and a communication platform.
