The world is moving faster than ever, and no one likes to wait for delivery of orders anymore. But unlike the many unlucky people living all over the world, the Chinese company Jingdong formerly known as 360Buy is making delivery in the matter of hours!
The e-commerce company that is still at its fresh start and not in the profit zone is making all the buzz. The company is taking same day delivery to a whole new level. Two delivery options were announced by Jingdong:
- Night delivery – In this service you can buy online up till 3pm and have the items arrive at their home between 7pm and 10pm.
- Three hour delivery – Well that is pretty self explanatory! the only catch is that it is an extra pay option.
The six cities covered for both options are Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Wuhan, Shenyang, and Guangzhou. More cities will be supported in due course. Jingdong has what they call a “last-mile” courier network of vans and e-bikes of its own, to take items from its city warehouses direct to the door of buyers. So basically they do not rely on third-party couriers.
Jingdong is covering over 80 million people in it’s six cities, while Google has tried out the same day delivery in San Francisco,Amazon too is working on the same. But this Chinese company has made it happen and the world is taking notice. There’s a lot to learn from our fellow human in Asia!. Who wouldn’t want to receieve all their amazing online shopping within 24 hours.
