JD.com’s outbound e-commerce platform saw a 20-time growth in book borders on June 1, the first day of the annual Grand Promotion.

The best sellers were children’s books, which accounted for around 70 percent of total book orders.

Buyers of children’s books were mainly Chinese living in foreign countries, including the United States, Canada and Japan.

“Chinese books are very popular with overseas Chinese, which reflects the importance they attach to children’s education,” said Chris Cui, head of JD Global Sales.

In addition, books related to traditional Chinese medicine and health care are also popular among overseas buyers.

Buyers also like original English-language books sold on the platform.

In celebration of its second anniversary, ochama, the innovative omni-channel retailer, announced today a series of significant enhancements to its product range and services.

These offerings are at the heart of ochama’s commitment to delivering exceptional quality, affordability, and convenience as the company steps into its third year.

Ochama’s extensive selection of Global Shipped Items, bolstered by the robust sourcing network of its parent company JD.com, provides shoppers with the opportunity to access premium international goods at budget-friendly prices. Ochama’s strategy to bypass intermediaries is key to delivering real savings for consumers. In tandem, the EDLP section offers consistently stable low prices on daily essentials, ensuring affordability is not only within reach but also constant.

Additionally, we are actively piloting a swift and hassle-free Same-Day Pick-up service in select regions in the Netherlands, ideal for last-minute purchases or spontaneous shopping trips.

2023 was also marked by significant achievements. Notably, ochama saw a 362% year-over-year increase during the Singles’ Day (11.11) Mega Sale in November and a 435% surge in pickup order volume on Black Friday. These figures reflect the growing trust and satisfaction our customers place in our brand.
