The name that the ladies call the most on the eve of Tet is the shippers. Whether the food this Tet will be delicious or not depends on the delivery men. They are already "pressed" so hard that they can't breathe, and sometimes the shippers are also made difficult by the "too-nice" customers.

Every time Tet comes, the name that is called and looked forward to the most is the shipper. You may never wait for anyone in your life, but the shipper waits every day. Especially on the days before Tet, you look forward to the delivery guys more than ever.

On every street, alley, shopping mall, apartment building, the image of shippers "tired of shaking hands", busy with orders is no longer strange. They not only have to deal with a huge number of orders but also have to flexibly handle unexpected situations, from delivering during rush hour to staying safe while moving.

They are surrounded by bags full of goods, one hand holding the phone to contact customers, the other hand checking delivery information - all happening at a fast pace to deliver on time. Many shippers are so busy that they have to take advantage of every minute, every second. Some centralized delivery locations become "field warehouses", where goods are temporarily gathered before being delivered to the recipient. Even 24/7 delivery units have a much larger number of orders. But with postal orders, despite the high pressure, he and his colleagues still try to maintain the quality of service, ensuring that the goods reach customers on time and intact.

Because of the large amount of inventory and urgent needs of customers, shippers at the end of the year are constantly being "reported" by customers to be breathless. With the determination to "press" the shipper to the end, everything must be ordered online, causing the delivery person to complain about the ridiculous items. Many people also wonder if there are many items for sale outside, wouldn't it be faster to buy them out instead of having to order them online.

The broom at home sometimes costs 30 thousand when going to the grocery store, and the shipping fee is 38 thousand when going online, but I have to order online. The important thing is that women have a passion for closing deals, the price is no longer important. Tet is coming, spring is coming, so many women have free time, so they close deals in the middle of the night, making the shipper panic when delivering: Having to ship the whole mattress, the whole giant trash can, then the toilet, the ladder, the apricot tree. As long as the seller is willing to sell and the customer dares to buy, the shipper dares to ship.

After being "reported" for all the ridiculous items, the end of the year is coming and everything is up to the delivery person. For example, when delivering dried fish, you have to help the customer put it in the refrigerator, when delivering high heels, you have to try on the goods for the ladies. At the end of the year, there are so many products that we run at full capacity, we forget to eat and sleep, and then we have to deal with customers who "report too much".

The sign of ordering too much online is that one day the shipper suddenly becomes a family member. While delivering goods, there is no sign of the goods, only seeing some convenient scenes on the way, they immediately stop by the customer's house to eat. On the customer's side, things are not much better, sitting waiting for the shipper for days before Tet, worried because they are afraid that the goods will not be delivered on time.

Whether or not we have nice clothes to wear during Tet depends entirely on the shippers, that's why the customer association "reports" to the shippers on all fronts, everywhere. I don't know where the shippers are now, every year they urge us to order Tet clothes early to deliver on time but the shippers are always "stalled".

It is known that for shippers with "familiar connections", the days before Tet are the time when they "harvest the most rice" of the year. Orders coming in so fast that they can't breathe are also a good sign for delivery guys to have a warm and full Tet season. The closer to Tet, the more serious the overload of goods becomes, many sellers do not dare to accept customers for fear of not being able to deliver the goods on time. "Orders shipped to far away provinces or too close to Tet will be rejected. Even though we really want to sell the goods, delivering on Tet is not as easy as usual," said a shop owner.
