We’ve reported that JD.com started collaborating with its on-demand delivery platform Dada Group to provide JD’s customers with a one-hour delivery service. Their cooperation is the expansion of JD’s Omnichannel Fulfillment program, launched in 2019.

This way, JD customers can now directly buy more than 3 million products from participating stores on JD.com and receive them within an hour. Although, some products can even be delivered within 15 minutes.
