Chinese e-commerce player JD has escalated the country’s on-demand delivery battle as it rebrands its retail service and promises to deliver purchased items in as little as 9 minutes. The company announced the upgrade on Monday on its official WeChat account. The brand new business integrates JD’s previous one-hour delivery service and JD Daojia, and is now named JD Miaosong, meaning products delivered in seconds. JD’s rivals generally promise delivery within half an hour with their on-demand services at present. [JDJD, in Chinese]Related
