JD to Upgrade 100 Delivery Stations to “JD Express”
by Yuchuan Wang
JD Logistics will upgrade 100 existing delivery stations across 10 cities in China to “JD Express”. The upgrade has begun since November and will further complete JD’s express service network and improve service level.
The upgrade will transform the delivery stations from operation hubs to management hubs. This change is a reflection of the development of the JD Express business, which started purely as a delivery business, but now also places a significant emphasis on pickup. As such, in addition to a unified brand image and decorations, the upgrade will also involve offices and meeting rooms as well as other client-friendly resources such as a beverage bar, as well as recycling and laundry for nearby residents.
The flagship stations will also integrate smart devices which are vital to improving logistics efficiency. The smart systems applied in these flagship stations will help couriers more efficiently deal with parcel delivery and collection. Smart technology integration has already been proven to increase efficiency in JD’s delivery stations. For example, in the smart delivery station in Yizhuang (Beijing’s economic-technological development area), adopting smart sorting devices and other technology enables the station to sort as many as 15,000 orders a day, 5 times the amount of a single traditional delivery station.
“JD will continue to expand the coverage of its flagship stations through continuous business model and technology innovation, and enable even faster, more efficient and convenient delivery services for our customers and partners,” said a JD Express representative.

JD.com Leads 48 Partners to Launch Quality Alliance to Elevate China’s Pet Care Ecosystem
China’s pet industry is entering a new chapter of sophisticated growth. As pets are increasingly cherished as vital family members, the demand for premium products and ethical services has reached an all-time high. On March 18th, 2026, JD Pet, a division of JD.com (a.k.a JINGDONG), joined forces with 48 leading organizations—including Royal Canin, Myfoodie, Pure Natural, Boehringer Ingelheim, Ringpai Pet Hospital, AllianzJD and PICC (People’s Insurance Company of China)—to establish the Pet Industry Quality Ecosystem Alliance and lead this transformation.
The initiative represents the most ambitious collaborative effort in the history of China’s pet sector. By bridging the gap between manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and insurance, the Alliance aims to dismantle industry barriers and create a transparent, high-standard experience for pet owners nationwide.
A Vision for Value-Driven Excellence
The Chinese pet market has evolved from a niche segment into a multi-billion dollar powerhouse. However, rapid scaling requires a shift in focus from mere volume to long-term quality. In a joint open letter, the Alliance members emphasized a move away from price-driven competition toward “value-driven excellence.”
“Our industry is built on love and the sanctity of life,” the Alliance stated. “As professionals, we have a collective responsibility to ensure that every pet receives the care they deserve and every owner enjoys total peace of mind.”
Six Pillars of Commitment and Quality Growth
To support this high-quality development, JD Pet linked up with all partners to introduce six major initiatives designed to reshape the pet care experience:
- Guaranteeing Food Safety and Quality: JD Super, the supermarket division, is anchoring consumer trust by introducing a bold “100x Compensation” pledge for its ” gold-label” selective self-operated pet food. Should a product’s ingredients be found inconsistent with its label or fail to meet national safety standards, JD Pet will compensate the customer 100 times the purchase price. Simultaneously, JINGDONG Cross-border, the import business platform, is leveraging its global sourcing network to curate products from 21 countries that strictly adhere to international AAFCO and IFS standards, ensuring 100% authenticity from the source.
- Standardizing the Live Pet Trade: To address the traditional lack of transparency in online pet purchasing, JD Pet is launching the “Internet Enterprise Standard for Pet Trading.” This comprehensive framework establishes rigorous protocols for health certifications, genetic identification, and ethical sourcing. By standardizing the process from selection to delivery, the initiative ensures that every “furry friend” arrives at its new home healthy and verified.
- Enhancing Specialized Logistics: Recognizing that transportation is a critical touchpoint for animal welfare, JINGDONG Logistics is utilizing its robust and specialized infrastructure to build a dedicated pet transport network. This includes the pilot launch of “Pet Houses” for comfortable transit, the use of custom climate-controlled vehicles, and the deployment of professional care teams trained to monitor pet well-being and minimize stress throughout the journey.
- Integrating Professional Healthcare Services: JD Health is centralizing care through a specialized “Consult-Test-Treat-Insure” ecosystem. The platform provides immediate access to licensed veterinary consultations, convenient home testing kits, and the industry’s most extensive range of pet medications. To ensure consumer confidence, JD Health is also introducing a “Refund if Ineffective” policy for self-operated medications. Furthermore, JD Health is synchronizing these digital tools with a network of over 11,000 professional offline pet hospitals, facilitating a seamless transition from online light-symptom consultations to offline specialized treatment.
- Advancing Transparent Insurance Solutions Innovation in financial protection is being led by JD Insurance, which is launching a 365-day New Pet Medical Insurance plan featuring direct settlement at 1,000 hospitals and 100% reimbursement ratios. Beyond this specific product, JD.com is joining forces with major insurers—including PICC, CPIC, PingAn, AllianzJD, and ZhongAn—to issue a collective call for the entire industry to develop insurance products that truly align with pet owners’ needs, moving away from complex clauses and difficult claims processes.
- Expanding Holistic Life Services to support pet owners in their daily routines, JD Home Serviceshas expanded its specialized offerings to multiple cities. These services include professional in-home feeding and medical-grade deep cleaning specifically designed for pet-owning households. By standardizing these high-frequency services, JD is ensuring that pet care is integrated seamlessly into a modern lifestyle.
The Pet Industry Quality Ecosystem Alliance is a true commitment. By aligning the interests of manufacturers, healthcare providers, and retailers, JD.com is fostering a marketplace where quality-focused brands can thrive, and consumers can shop with absolute confidence. We believe that when we protect the well-being of pets, we protect the warmth and happiness of the homes they live in.
