JD Continues One-Hour Delivery Service during CNY Holiday
by Vivian Yang
JD.com is gearing up for the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday with constant omnichannel shopping and one-hour delivery service. The company made the announcement on Feb. 9, two days before the seven-day national holiday.
The service, known as “JD Citywide Shopping (京东全城购)”, is JD’s omnichannel fulfillment supply chain program to integrate multiple offline channels, including chain supermarkets like Walmart, enabling them to deliver orders originating from JD directly and improving the supply chain efficiency of the offline retailers.

Leveraging the local on-demand delivery network of Dada Group, customers’ orders on JD will be dispatched from nearby participating stores and delivered to customers within 1 hour, with some products available for delivery within 15 mins.
“The service will be especially helpful for customers who feel ill and need medicine immediately or who run out of daily necessities during the holiday such as facemasks and disinfectant,” said a spokesperson of the program.
More than 20,000 chain supermarkets across China have now participated in the program, making a myriad of products available for consumers to order online, ranging from fresh groceries, home appliances, consumer electronics, to healthcare and personal care products. The one-hour delivery service is standardized throughout the year, with no exception on the eve of the Chinese New Year, when almost all Chinese are enjoying their traditional and indispensable family reunion dinner.

JD.com Targets 5 Billion RMB with Chilean Product Partnership as 2024/25 Season Cherry Sales Launch
On December 12, JD Super, the supermarket division of JD.com (also known as JINGDONG), launched the Chilean Specialties Festival and kicked off 2024/25 Chilean cherry sales with the recent arrival of the first “Cherry Express” ship in China. In a ceremony attended by the Chilean Ambassador to China, H.E. Mr. Mauricio Hurtado, JD Super signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Chilean brands, aiming to achieve 5 billion RMB in sales of Chilean products, including cherries, wine, and salmon, over the next three years.
The sea-freight Chilean cherry sales launch event was officiated by Ambassador Hurtado, Chao Junwen, Secretary-General of the China Chamber of Commerce for Foodstuffs and Native Produce, and Juan Latife, General Manager of Garces Fruit China, Chile’s leading cherry exporter.
Through large-scale direct sourcing, JD’s procurement team has reduced the import costs of Chilean cherries, offering consumers prices that are approximately 15% lower than those on other e-commerce platforms for the same grade and size.
To ensure quality and proper grading, JD Super has introduced a caliper offering this season. Each box of cherries comes with a caliper that allows consumers to accurately grade the fruit and ensure they have received high-quality Chilean cherries.
Since late October, JD’s online channels and its 7Fresh omnichannel supermarket chain have been selling the season’s air-freight Chilean cherries. This product offering, which has been met with enthusiasm from Chinese consumers, is supported by JD’s extensive national cold-chain logistics network and instant delivery services that can deliver orders within 30 minutes, making it easy and affordable for users to enjoy the early batch of Chilean cherries.
“This large-scale procurement cooperation will allow JD Super to continue leveraging our strong supply chain capabilities and work closely with Chilean partners to offer a wider variety of Chilean products at competitive prices and services to Chinese consumers,” said a spokesperson of JD Super.
