As people born after 1980 and 1990 have gradually become the major consumers of mobile phones, they have rich experience in electronics consumption and have gradually changed from price sensitive to paying more attention to customer experience.

Leveraging its supply chain advantage and years of experience in the mobile phone market, JD.com has partnered with mobile phone manufactures, and carriers to provide consumers with services that cover the entire lifecycle of mobile phones. JD has 43 different services including 30-day worry-free refund, 1.2 times price guarantee, 1-hour delivery guarantee, trade in, and interest-free financial services.

For instance,the “1.2 times price guarantee” solves the predicament of consumers who are worried about the price reduction of cell phones right after purchase. This means that, for example, if a customer buys a phone for RMB 1000 yuan, and then discovers the price has dropped to 800, the customer can apply for a refund of 1.2 times the price difference (1.2*200=240).
