JD.com Targets Overseas Chinese Market with Expedited Shipping, Intensifying Rivalry with Alibaba and Other E-commerce Giants
JD.com entices Chinese customers abroad with swift delivery, competing against Alibaba
The online retail behemoth assures deliveries to clients in the US, Japan, and Singapore in a minimum of five days.
JD.com is initiating five-day global deliveries for clients in the US, Japan, and Singapore, as the Chinese online commerce behemoth competes with adversaries such as Alibaba Group Holding, Shein, and Temu to secure a larger share in the foreign online retail sector.
Patrons in the mentioned nations, placing orders from brand-name stores managed by JD.com on its platforms, now have the ability to get their items in a minimum of five days. Moreover, standard delivery costs in the US have been cut by 50% to 58 yuan (US$8.14), as declared by the Beijing-based firm on Wednesday.
JD.com primarily aims its international shopping services at Chinese expatriates, according to the company.
This step is taken as the world's second biggest economy grapples with deteriorating customer confidence. With local consumers being frugal, Chinese platforms – ranging from PDD Holdings' discount retail website Temu to Alibaba's international bazaar AliExpress – have shifted their attention overseas, emulating the path of fast-fashion app Shein, which originated in China.
The South China Morning Post is owned by Alibaba.
