意思卖家发货的运输方式选的是物流而不是快递。物流和快递的区别:

运送大容积的货物,一般选择物流合适,小物件的货物选择快递比较合适。

快递业务主要为个人服务,物流一般为企业服务。比如网上购物,我们一般都是用的快递运送,而如果是一个企业,一次性要运送大批的货物,这时就需要用物流了。

相比较而言,快递费用较贵些,物流费用较便宜些。这是由两种不同的服务内容决定的。如果运送一箱子矿泉水用快递的话,那么,很明显仅快递费用就跟成本差不多了。

物流按体积收费,快递一般按照重量收费。

快递一般是送货上门,而物流一般不直接将货物送上门,他们一般是将货物运送到目的地地区后,然后由客户自提。

一般而言,快递运货的时间较快些,物流运送的货物较慢些。因为快递是全国联网的,只要收到货物后即会安照既定的流程发送,而物流一般需要等到货物达到一定的量后才开始运送。

每个用快递运送的货品都是有快递单号的,可以按照单号在网上查询物品目前的运送状态,而物流是没有快递单号的,当然也不能网上查询。

大的快递公司在全国有很多的服务网点,每个省、每个市、每个县、甚至每个乡都有自己的公司网点,而物流公司则没有这么多网点,它们一般仅在比较大的地区设点。

扩展资料:

物流的概念最早是在美国形成的,起源于20世纪30年代,原意为“实物分配”或“货物配送”。

1963年被引入日本,日文意思是“物的流通”。

20世纪70年代后,日本的“物流”一词逐渐取代了“物的流通”。

中国的“物流”一词是从日文资料引进来的外来词,源于日文资料中对

"Logistics

"一词的翻译“物流”。

中国的物流术语标准将物流定义为:物流是物品从供应地向接收地的实体流动过程中,根据实际需要,将运输、储存、装卸搬运、包装、流通加工、配送、信息处理等功能有机结合起来实现用户要求的过程。

物流 英文名称:logistics 定义:供应链活动的一部分,是为了满足客户需要而对商品、服务以及相关信息从产地到消费地的高效、低成本流动和储存进行的规划、实施与控制的过程。

物流:以仓储为中心,促进生产与市场保持同步。

物流管理(Logistics Management)是指在社会生产过程中,根据物质资料实体流动的规律,应用管理的基本原理和科学方法,对物流活动进行计划、组织、指挥、协调、控制和监督,使各项物流活动实现最佳的协调与配合,以降低物流成本,提高物流效率和经济效益。现代物流管理是建立在系统论、信息论和控制论的基础上的。

It means that the seller chooses logistics instead of express delivery as the mode of transportation for delivery. The difference between logistics and express delivery:

For large-volume goods, logistics is generally suitable, while express delivery is more suitable for small items.

Express delivery services are mainly for individuals, while logistics services are generally for enterprises. For example, when shopping online, we generally use express delivery, but if it is an enterprise that needs to deliver a large number of goods at one time, then logistics services are needed.

Comparatively speaking, express delivery costs are more expensive, while logistics costs are cheaper. This is determined by two different service contents. If a box of mineral water is delivered by express delivery, then it is obvious that the express delivery fee alone is almost the same as the cost.

Logistics charges by volume, while express delivery generally charges by weight.

Express delivery generally delivers goods to the door, while logistics generally does not deliver goods directly to the door. They generally deliver the goods to the destination area and then the customer picks them up.

Generally speaking, express delivery is faster, while logistics delivery is slower. Because express delivery is connected to the national network, as long as the goods are received, they will be sent according to the established process, while logistics generally needs to wait until the goods reach a certain amount before delivery.

Each item delivered by express delivery has a courier number, and the current delivery status of the item can be checked online according to the number, while logistics does not have a courier number, and of course it cannot be checked online.

Large express delivery companies have many service outlets across the country. Every province, every city, every county, and even every township has its own company outlets, while logistics companies do not have so many outlets. They generally only set up outlets in larger areas.

Extended information:

The concept of logistics was first formed in the United States in the 1930s, and originally meant "physical distribution" or "goods distribution".

It was introduced to Japan in 1963, and the Japanese meaning is "circulation of things."

After the 1970s, the Japanese word "logistics" gradually replaced "circulation of things".

The Chinese word "logistics" is a foreign word introduced from Japanese materials, which originated from the translation of the word "logistics" in Japanese materials.

The Chinese logistics terminology standard defines logistics as: Logistics is the process of organically combining functions such as transportation, storage, loading and unloading, packaging, circulation processing, distribution, and information processing to meet user requirements during the physical flow of goods from the supply point to the receiving point according to actual needs.

Logistics English name: logistics Definition: A part of the supply chain activities, which is the process of planning, implementing and controlling the efficient and low-cost flow and storage of goods, services and related information from the place of production to the place of consumption in order to meet customer needs.

Logistics: With warehousing as the center, it promotes the synchronization of production and market.

Logistics Management refers to the planning, organization, command, coordination, control and supervision of logistics activities in the process of social production, based on the laws of the flow of material entities, and the application of basic management principles and scientific methods, so as to achieve the best coordination and cooperation of various logistics activities, reduce logistics costs, and improve logistics efficiency and economic benefits. Modern logistics management is based on system theory, information theory and cybernetics.
