7 or 8 salesmen in Shanghai during the epidemic run more than 800 orders a week, which has never happened before
Recently, due to the epidemic, Shanghai has entered a global static management. Although the street noise is not as good as before, there are still some deliverymen and errands running around on electric vehicles to deliver goods to some residents. Some netizens expressed their gratitude to these little brothers for their efforts during the epidemic and were willing to pay more for them. But there are also some netizens who worry about whether these delivery personnel will take the opportunity to charge indiscriminately.
Takeaway Xiaofei (pseudonym) is the head of a team of riders in Shanghai. The village where Xiaofei lives has been closed and managed since last week. He rents alone and can only watch TV every day to kill time. Of course, he occasionally Open the takeaway platform to see how many orders the rider brothers have run.
There were more than 40 riders in the original team of 50 riders last week, but this week, there are only 6 riders left. Xiaofei told the Beiqing Daily reporter that takeaways are easy to deliver now. Takeaways only need to be placed at the gate of the community, and there is no need to climb the stairs. In addition, the delivery fee is higher than usual. Even if he is located in the suburbs, the delivery fee for each order is also Nearly 10 bucks. He remembered that in normal times, a small pharmacy would have a maximum of 3 or 5 orders throughout the day, and a pharmacy had at least 600 orders that day. “Disinfectant water, antigen test kits, etc. Alcohol is very popular, and people use it very frequently.”
As far as he knows, recently, the deliverymen who run orders outside of his team are not considered private jobs. As long as the platform’s income is concerned, he can earn 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a day. “Last week’s orders were the largest and the best delivery. The 7 or 8 riders outside my team have never run more than 800 orders a week. On average, each person can earn at least 6 per week. , 7,000 yuan, the reward amount for each order is mostly 2 or 30 yuan, and the monthly guarantee is 30,000 yuan.”
Xiaofei said that when he was able to run orders a few days ago, he was able to complete nearly 100 orders in 8 hours a day, earning more than 1,000 yuan a day. He helped a customer with a pack of cigarettes, and the customer gave an additional reward in addition to the order. 150 yuan. “Many people say that if you tell him that there are too many orders, you can’t deliver them, and you can’t bring them, and they say it doesn’t matter how much money you have.”
One day, Xiaofei received a cross-town order. “The customer lived far away, and all the takeaway businesses in his area were closed, so he ordered meals from different areas.” Xiaofei said, in fact, Riders can cancel the order in the system, like this one hour can only earn 6 yuan, but Xiaofei received a message from the customer: “Don’t cancel, you are the fourth rider, I’m hungry, help me deliver Let’s go.” Xiaofei said that he usually ran about 9 kilometers for a distance of less than 7 kilometers due to the need to detour and block the road due to control. “This order was relatively slow, and it took more than 50 minutes. It was just a small box of lunch. He was very hungry, and I felt the same way.”
The rider said he had to overcome the pressure to work hard and run around without telling his parents
Xiaofei introduced that the full-time takeaways only need to take orders on the platform. If there is a customer request to bring something, the riders will help on the premise that the time is a little looser. “Generally, men ask to help bring cigarettes, and women help to bring vegetables.” Xiaofei said that in many supermarkets that cannot be opened, the bosses put cigarettes in their cars and sell them with the car open, “I always buy Yes, and for those customers who ask to bring something along the way, riders don’t have to deliberately ask them to run errands, they are very proactive, and some people transfer it to you directly on WeChat, and some people give a reward to the platform.”
In addition, Xiaofei also mentioned that the take-out riders who are on duty must upload a nucleic acid report every 48 hours, and the platform will also distribute masks and other materials for the riders, and arrange hotels to solve the accommodation problem. “The platform will verify your running orders. If the distance from the hotel is not suitable and you don’t live, the platform will also subsidize the rider by 150 yuan per day.”
Xiaofei told the Beiqing Daily reporter that now those takeaway riders who are running outside are not just to make money, they have to overcome their own psychological pressure, fear and risk being infected to work hard. “A competent rider can be hungry all day, as long as he has a full meal at night.” Xiaofei said frankly that when the epidemic broke out in Shanghai, his mother called him to “don’t do it”, and he agreed immediately. “I can only work without her knowledge. After all, my parents are still working outside, and I earn money not for myself, but for my family.”
Between the interviews, Xiaofei glanced at the platform again, “It’s only been two and a half hours, and the rider with the most orders has already sent out 45 orders…”
Another Xiao Cai (pseudonym) who delivered food in Pudong New Area told the Beiqing Daily reporter that due to the control measures in the community, he has been staying in the hotel at his own expense since he came out of the community. “I work more than ten hours a day, and the accommodation costs more than 200 yuan a night. Many brothers around me are like me.” Xiao Cai introduced that he can run 20 or 30 errand orders every day, with an average of 50 yuan per order, and takeaway can run every day. Seventy or eighty orders. Xiao Cai said that it is not common for an order to start at 200 yuan on the Internet. “Customers will naturally increase the price if they have urgent needs, and the amount of reward varies from person to person.” Xiao Cai also explained that in fact, it cannot be said to be an order storm recently. Increase, but big supermarkets and many takeaway businesses are closed, and there are many riders locked in the community, so there are many cases where no one takes the order.
Can’t listen to the child crying, the errand brother helps parents deliver milk powder for 20 yuan
“I have a child myself, and I can’t hear the child cry. I heard that a baby in the family was weaned and needed to send milk powder. I helped their family run this order at the price of 20 yuan.” “The younger brother, Mr. Huang, told the Beiqing Daily reporter.
One month before the outbreak of the epidemic, Mr. Huang had just become a food delivery rider on the streets of Shanghai, “I used to work as a delivery boy in a small city in my hometown in Anhui, and then I planned to come to Shanghai to find a job and earn more money for my family. .” Mr. Huang was looking for a period of time in Shanghai, but he didn’t find a suitable job, so he decided to go back to his old business and deliver food in Shanghai.
“I didn’t expect that the epidemic broke out in Shanghai after only a month of work.” Mr. Huang said that more than a week ago, a customer who had delivered food before contacted him and wanted to trouble him to “run errands” to deliver the supplies. “In the next few days, more and more citizens contacted me. At most, I would go to 2 or 30 communities a day.”
Mr. Huang said that in recent days, he started at 8 or 9 in the morning to help citizens “run errands”, and often did not arrive home until 7 or 8 in the evening. “After returning home, I started to collect WeChat messages from citizens for help. Information, negotiate the price, and then organize it into a table, it may be busy until 12 o’clock at night, after a night’s rest, I will go to run errands the next day to deliver.”
Mr. Huang said that according to the relevant epidemic prevention regulations, he can only deliver within the Pudong New Area where he lives. “If there are citizens who ask for cross-regional delivery, I can only refuse them.” After delivering to the community, Mr. Huang will Put the goods on the express rack at the gate of the community, and the community volunteers help to deliver the goods to the customers’ homes.
“Generally, my fee for running errands ranges from 30 to 200 yuan, but it also depends on the situation of the client’s home. Once, a father called me and said that his child was only a few months old and his mother was out of town. , the family has been weaned. The child’s father contacted a store that could provide milk powder, but he needed my help to deliver it.” Mr. Huang recalled that the route from the store to the community was not close, but because Mr. Huang also had children, he knew how to take them with him. It was not easy, so I took the initiative to take over the job, “After the delivery, the child’s father thanked me very much and wanted to transfer 300 yuan to me, but I felt that sending milk powder to the child was a life-saving thing, so I only accepted the child. Father 20 yuan.”
Use the WeChat translation function to communicate with foreigners for delivery, and the other party learns Chinese to express gratitude
Mr. Wu, who is engaged in errands and distribution in Xuhui District, told a reporter from Beiqing Daily that he has been running errands for about 12 to 3 hours a day in recent days. “I have to charge the car twice a day. Down to 6,7,000 yuan in income.”
Mr. Wu said that the citizens mainly entrusted them to purchase daily necessities such as food and beverages. In addition, some citizens would entrust him to purchase emergency supplies such as medicines. “Once, a citizen contacted me and asked me to buy some food for a foreigner living in Shanghai. After I delivered the food, the foreigner added my WeChat, he doesn’t speak Chinese, give me I sent a paragraph in English, but I couldn’t understand it. Using the translation function of WeChat, I probably understood the needs of the other party and sent the materials they needed. The foreigners received the goods and specially learned the Chinese ‘thank you’ to send give me.”
Mr. Wu said that currently running errands in Shanghai will encounter many difficulties in distributing materials. “On the one hand, some supermarkets may not have the materials that the citizens need. Once I went to 3 or 4 supermarkets to buy what the citizens needed. I can’t buy it anymore, I can only tell the public to contact other channels to buy it.” Mr. Wu said, on the other hand, although there is no congestion in Shanghai now, the management of sealing control in various places is changing all the time, and the current navigation is not I can’t follow up these changes in time. “I usually rely on navigation to deliver goods. Once I went there, the road was fine, but when I came back, the road was blocked. I could only go back a long distance.”
Mr. Wu said that the price of each delivery will be determined according to the difficulty of purchasing the goods and the distance of the errand delivery. The price is between 50 and 200 yuan. In response to some netizens’ claims that the errand fee is too expensive. Mr. Wu believes that it is more difficult for him to go out to deliver goods than before, and he also bears huge health risks. “I will try my best to take epidemic prevention measures and do my best to deliver without contact, but when I go home at night, I will still think of me. Family members will be worried about the consequences of contracting the virus to their family members. In fact, for us, we also hope that everything will return to normal and the epidemic will end soon.”
