Chapter 244 How about giving it a try?
Old Mrs. Liu's daughter-in-law also nodded.
"Yeah, you see, this kid is going to take the exam so far away by himself, and his parents are not around, how worried he must be!"
Mrs. Liu's son gave her a reproachful look and said, "The child is grown up now. He has his own ideas about where he wants to go to college. You keep nagging me. If I were you, I wouldn't want to be around you either."
The daughter-in-law frowned, "Yes, yes, you are the only one who doesn't worry about it as a father. I packed his clothes last night until late at night. Why didn't you tell me?"
The son said, "I still have to find a post office to send it out. I'm going to be late for work now. I won't argue with you anymore!"
It seemed that the two were about to quarrel.
Old Mrs. Liu quickly tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, stop arguing, it's time to eat."
The son said helplessly, "Mom, I'm too late. I have to send it out today. It will take a week for the post office to arrive. Don't be late. The child will be frozen. How can you, as a mother, not find the clothes earlier?"
The daughter-in-law said angrily: "Now you know you blame me, you forgot to tell me, why don't you tell me about yourself?"
Old Mrs. Liu pressed her hand.
"Stop arguing, it's just a courier, just leave it to me!"
"That post office is expensive and slow. Let me tell you, there's a new courier station downstairs, and they even come to your door to pick up your parcels!"
"I'll make a call and they'll come pick up the package. You two should go to work and eat. Don't worry!"
"The porridge in my pot is ready. I'll cook some vegetables and then I'll go to work right after we finish eating."
The son hesitated: "Mom, is this reliable?"
The daughter-in-law followed suit: "That's what I said, Mom, don't lose the package again."
Old Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "The monk may run away, but the temple cannot. This company belongs to our Jiangcheng City. Don't worry, just leave it to me!"
As she spoke, she picked up the phone on the table and called Jitu Express.
In order to answer the phone specifically, Su Yang asked someone to buy a catchy phone number. He could just make a call and pick up the item directly at the customer's door.
I dialed the number, it rang once, and someone picked up immediately.
"Hello, this is Jitu Express's customer service hotline. Do you have any questions or need help?"
Old Mrs. Liu thought for a moment and said, "Well, well, I want to send a courier to Shanghai, to Shanghai Ocean University. Can you arrange for someone to pick it up?"
The customer service smiled and said, "Of course, what's your address?"
Old Mrs. Liu said, "My address is Jing'an Community, Building 3, Unit 1, 5th floor, right door..."
"I'm at home, just ask someone to come over and knock on the door."
The customer service nodded: "Okay, the courier is expected to pick up the package within an hour. Please prepare the mailing address and contact name. I wish you a happy life."
Old Mrs. Liu hung up the phone and went back to cook.
The son sat on the table with some doubt: "Is this door-to-door pickup reliable?"
The daughter-in-law shook her head: "I don't know, who knows if it's reliable or not, we'll know when people come."
The son was suspicious: "Didn't they say it would take an hour? I have to go to work right after dinner."
The daughter-in-law glared at him.
"You just go to that crappy class every day. I wonder how much money you make in a day."
The two were about to quarrel again. Old Mrs. Liu, who was standing next to them, was carrying a pot of food. Just as she put it on a plate and brought it to the table, there was a knock on the door.
She quickly wiped her hands and went out to greet him.
"I'm coming!"
Outside the door, a courier wearing a red work uniform with the words J&T Jitu Express on the left chest looked at Mrs. Liu with a smile.
"Hello, Auntie. This is your order. Do you want me to pick it up?"
Old Mrs. Liu took a breath and said, "Why are you here so soon?"
The courier said, "We have a requirement that the package must be received within an hour. Please give me the package and fill out the delivery form, and I can leave."
Old Mrs. Liu called her son and quickly took out a large bag of clothes.
The courier took out the hook scale he carried with him, hooked the package and took a look.
"Auntie, this is 2.5 jin. Our first weight is 12 yuan, and the additional weight is 9 yuan. If you want to send it to Shanghai, there is no extra charge. The total is 79.5 yuan. You can spend an extra 50 yuan to buy insurance. If it is lost, we will pay extra compensation according to the insurance policy value."
Old Mrs. Liu nodded: "Okay, okay, buy one, buy one, the total is 80 yuan, right!"
She counted out eighty yuan from her pocket, handed it to the courier, and handed the delivery note back at the same time.
The courier tore open the delivery slip and said, "This slip is in duplicate. I'll keep one and you take one. If it's not delivered within five days, you can call the customer service hotline to inquire about the delivery status."
"Don't worry, we will compensate for lost items. Thank you for choosing Jitu Express!"
The courier picked up the goods and Mrs. Liu nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, young man..."
The courier came down the stairs carrying the package, grunting. Old Mrs. Liu's son and daughter-in-law in the room were all stunned. Such a fast speed, such a low price, and he even came to pick up the package at home.
"Last time I remember you mailed a quilt for your son, and it cost 150 yuan for six kilograms, right?"
Old Mrs. Liu's daughter-in-law glanced at her son.
The son drank a mouthful of porridge and nodded.
While eating, the daughter-in-law said, "This Jitu Express is almost half the price of the post office, and it can be delivered in five days. It will be convenient for us to mail things to our son in the future."
Old Mrs. Liu also nodded: "That's right, I'll pick it up at your doorstep, so you don't have to squeeze on the bus or go to the post office!"
The family sat at the dining table and had a lively meal. The conflict was resolved and the express was sent out.
At the same time, almost at the same time.
In Garden No. 1 Community, a girl in her twenties was struggling to pack things into a cardboard box. She was talking on the phone while packing.
"Fangfang, you don't know, our stupid company sent me to the south, and the rent for the house I rented in Jiangcheng City is still half a year away!"
"Besides, I can't just throw away all these pots and pans. It will cost me money to buy new ones!"
"Yes, yes, I can pack it and send it to the post office and mail it. The company will reimburse you..."
"The key is that you said I was alone, how could I get through it?"
"You said you wanted to take a taxi, but a taxi can't hold much stuff..."
The girl was so tired that she sat on the sofa.
Fangfang on the other end of the phone thought for a moment and said, "Hey, I remember my mom brought back a flyer a few days ago saying there's a courier company in Jiangcheng that can pick up packages at your door, right?"
"Why don't you just ask them to pick it up at your door and then mail it to you?"
The girl thought for a moment: "Pick up the item at your door? Is that reliable?"
Fangfang said, "I don't know if it's reliable or not, but this flyer is on our dining table. It's said that my mother even got three eggs back. Let me show it to you."
"The first weight is 12 yuan, the second weight is 9 yuan. Call us and we will pick it up at your doorstep in the whole city..."
"How about you give it a try?"
