minus-squaregodlesslinkfedilink5•1 year ago Most are young men without college degrees who make less than $1 per delivery. Make that per hour. The average delivery here is just about 20-30 RMB ($3.5 or so), they absolutely don’t get 33% commission. And tips don’t exist in China. Source: Been living there for 6 years now.
