On July 7^th, the first day of China’s National College Entrance Examination (also known as “Gaokao”), a JD Mobile Store in Tianjin delivered a mobile phone in 15 minutes so that a student could successfully enter the exam room.

Due to COVID-19, many cities require students to show their health code status on mobile phones prior to entering the exam room. Just before entering the exam room, a student found that her mobile phone was broken and could not show the health code. As there was not enough time to go to an offline store to repair the phone or buy a new one, her parents decided to order a phone from a nearby JD Mobile Store online, and called the store to explain the situation, hoping they could get the new phone as soon as possible. After taking the order, JD Mobile Store immediately tracked down the courier and successfully delivered the phone in 15 minutes.

The on-demand delivery service that JD provides through working with JDDJ (JD Daojia), China’s leading local on-demand retail platform, enables customers in over 110 cities in China to receive the products in as fast as one hour. JD customers can shop for products through JDDJ, and brick and mortar stores will deliver the products to customers, providing a better shopping experience.

JD has partnered with the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), an international non-profit organization that formulates and promotes sustainable fisheries and supply chain management standards, to apply the organization’s stringent and sustainable fisheries standards in JD’s seafood quality control. As of now, over 70 seafood products sold on JD, including salmon, toothfish and flounder, have been labelled MSC-certified.

The MSC’s blue fish label indicates that a product has come from a fishery certified to the MSC Fisheries Standard, a science-based set of requirements for sustainable fishing. Only products where the entire fishing and production process meets MSC’s standards and has been reviewed by an independent third party assessment process can be labelled with MSC. For example, MSC will collaborate with authorized laboratories to test products’ DNA to verify their origins, among other measures.

Earlier in June, JD completed nucleic acid tests on 209 batches of fresh goods – all tests have been negative for COVID-19.

“Food safety is not only the bottom line but also the lifeline for consumers. By partnering with MSC, JD will further provide our consumers peace of mind when purchasing seafood products online” said Wen Li, head of quality control at JD.com’s 7FRESH business unit.
