I think what he’s saying the shop that keeps your parcel only makes 30cents per parcel is low. Nothing to do with delivery that you described.
If one day have 20 packages that is just rm6.

Not sure if they can get thousands. Let’s take 1K as an example. If they are getting 1K a day, I did some calculations assuming they operate 10 hours a day, that will make it 1.6 pick up a minute. Do you think they are averaging 1.6 people come and collect every minute? That amount of volume probably will create a big crowd during peak hours. Probably pack until outside. Have you seen a big crowd?


If they have 1K pickups a day they will make Rm300 a day. 6 days a week about 1800x4= 7200 a month. Hire a staff with minimum wage 7200-1700=5,500. Not bad. But I don’t know if one additional staff with minimum wage can handle or not. Probably need 2 staff during peak hours.

Not too bad IF
They have 1K pickups
Additional 1 staff with minimum wage can handle without adding any other resources like extra space, extra equipment
If it doesn’t affect the core business (eg crowd too big affecting the core business)

Hopefully there are real business owners can ahead some light

Ahh I see. My area parcel hub gave up and pos Malaysia started doing it. Now have mbe and pos. So far never seen any queue at my place.

We know they don’t just depend on parcel collection. We are discussing if it’s worth to do parcel collection or not on top of their existing business.
