Users can place a delivery order through the JD APP and WeChat, and after providing relevant information, the courier will come to the doorstep and pick up the goods in about one hour.

The new business was announced at the 2018 Global Intelligent Logistics Summit in Beijing, and is aimed at improving global supply chain levels.

JD.com accumulated hundreds of thousands users during the trial period in first-tier cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, where the service is now available online.

JD.com plans to promote the service to up to 50 core cities in China and spread it to the national market next year.

Wang Zhenhui, the CEO of JD.com's logistics said JD will build a global smart supply chain infrastructure network (GSSC) with the community in the next five to 10 years.
