Two major courier companies announced price hikes on Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of November 11, which will see China's largest online shopping festival.
ZTO Express and Yunda Express said the aim is to provide better services amid rising labor, material and transportation costs.
Neither company disclosed the scale of price hikes.
Industry insiders said other domestic couriers are likely to follow suit.
China Express Association predicted Wednesday that the industry would handle more than 1 billion packages for nationwide shopping spree between Nov 11 and Nov 16.
In 2016, delivery volume of China's courier sector accounted for more than 40 percent of the world's total with 60 percent of world delivery volume growth.
双十一来临之际两家快递联合涨价！
就在大家刚刚从国庆假期缓过来的时候，一个对于大家的惊天噩耗又来了！快递要涨价！而且不只是一家快递涨价，而是两家快递联合涨价！中通和韵达一起涨价！
中通快递正式宣布，受运输成本增加、人工成本提升、原材料价格上涨等多种因素影响，同时为了进一步提升服务质量，保障客户利益，中通快递集团经综合考虑，决定从即日起调整快递价格，具体情况请咨询当地服务网点。
韵达快递跟随中通步伐，以同样的理由宣布韵达快递将对价格进行调整，但是韵达和中通一样，也没有公布具体的涨价幅度。
按照目前国内快递行业的形势来看，大家就是在打价格战，除了顺丰以外。那这两家快递涨价了以后，其他顺丰、申通、圆通等快递会一起涨价吗？目前唯一确认的是，顺丰不会涨价！
目前来说，国内除了顺丰以外的快递都是12元-15元起步的价格，如果涨价的话，那就陆运18元起步的顺丰基本没差别了。而在服务上，顺丰是远远领先了其他快递的。
也难怪许多网友一听到这个消息就说“以后我用顺丰得了，服务还好。价格也一样。”
