China’s JD Logistics which carries out integrated supply chain logistics for JD.com, announced last month, that it was launching an international express delivery service. It has set its sights on 23 countries across North America and Europe, bringing faster one-way deliveries out of China.
“The new service marks a significant milestone for JD Logistics, representing both an expansion of its renowned logistics services to the global stage and a key phase in the company’s broader international market expansion,” the release explains. It continues with: “JD Logistics’ venture into international express delivery is a natural extension of its existing capabilities. Over the past decade, the company has transformed the delivery landscape in China by pioneering same- and next-day delivery, setting a new standard of service for hundreds of millions of consumers. This achievement was made possible through JD Logistics’ six highly synergized logistics networks, encompassing warehousing, line-haul transportation, last-mile delivery, bulky item delivery, cold chain logistics, and cross-border logistics.”
To begin with, the international express service will be available to individual customers based in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, but this is planned to cover the rest of China, going forward. In true and simple digital fashion, those customers will be able to arrange doorstep pick-ups using JD Express’ mini program on WeChat. Parcels are picked up within an hour using in-house couriers within JD Logistic’s broad express delivery network. Also, customers can track the movement of their shipments in real-time throughout the journey.
The international express delivery service is the latest in JD.com’s expansion of its international supply chain and logistics capabilities. Other developments include last year’s strategic collaboration with Geopost to offer comprehensive shipping solutions for consumers and businesses between China and Europe. Also, the company’s warehousing operations have and are being improved “to meet industry demands in Europe, North America, the Middle East, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Notably, JD Logistics’ overseas warehousing operations already offer same-day fulfillment services in key European markets, including Germany, the Netherlands, France, the U.K., Spain, and Poland, while ensuring rapid two-to-three-day delivery across 90% of regions in the United States,” the release summarizes the JD Logistics’ focused improvement plans.
