Why Is Shipping And Delivery By Courier From Spain So Costly And How May You Reduce Costs?
I've questioned a few major international courier companies that operate from Spain why the expense of shipping from Spain to other Countries in europe is really so expensive when compared to the price of a courier shipment in the opposite direction. There seems to be a conspiracy of silence so why don't we examine the truth.
The publicized price tag for shipping from Marbella, Spain a five kg parcel to Berlin, Germany throughout August the year of 2010 is €211.56 by way of UPS www.ups.com employing their Express Saver courier parcel service from Spain.
The published price for shipping and delivery to Courier Spain precisely the same parcel back again from Germany utilizing the same UPS courier service is €136.31. This is a time-specific air courier shipping service.
The difference using a road freighted Economy courier package is even greater €136.38 compared to €45.10, three times as much to courier a parcel from Spain to Germany as the opposite routing.
The same happens for couriers between Spain and the United kingdom. Express Saver from Marbella to London is also €211.56 whereas Economy is €159.89, the return price of the courier from England to Spain is £88.47 and £74.85 (€106.23 and €89.88 in line with today’s rate at www.currenciesdirect.com ), still practically double.
Germany is actually the world’s greatest exporting nation reported by www.nationmaster.com exporting a lot more than China, Spain comes in at 17th, two spots behind Belgium. On this basis, you would naturally presume there are vehicles as well as aeroplanes packed with courier parcels shipping from Germany toward Spain and also the UK that can't all be returning full with courier packages from either England or Spain to Germany.
There's two logical answers for this. One is that courier collection inside Germany is significantly more efficient as compared to within the UK or Spain and meaning that the export expenses are cheaper. However, we are speaking about a door-to-door service so a collection from 1 country requires a delivery in another and for that reason the complexities would appear to cancel each other out.
Really the only bottom line that we could reasonably draw would be that the Courier Delivery Companies are charging you the “market price” meaning the Spanish industry will bear a larger price tag than either the UK or German market. On the other hand, the fact that there are a number of international companies competing head-to-head in a very cut-throat industry with not one of them in a position to match their export costs from Spain to the cost of getting the same parcel imported from other European countries to Spain suggests there is something wrong. Either it could be called oligopoly pricing or there is a structural problem in collection from Spain which is not reflected in deliveries to the exact same addresses.
Fortunately there exists a company named Citibox www.citibox.es (Courier Spain) that breaks through these kinds of barriers and enables clients to send out courier parcels to and from Spain not simply within Europe but Globally for the exact same price whether or not the letter or package is going to Spain or is being sent from Spain. Additionally they offer special discounts of about 50% of the published expenses of the main Courier Companies on letters, parcels and packages from Spain.
