JD.com launches enhanced JD NOW on-demand retail service

It promises rapid delivery of premium products from over 500,000 stores to 2,300 locations in China.

JD.com introduced an upgraded version of its on-demand retail service, JD NOW, on 16 May. 

Formerly known as JD Shop Now and JDDJ, JD NOW offers rapid delivery of premium products from over 500,000 physical stores to customers across 2,300 locations in China, with delivery times as fast as nine minutes.

The new JD NOW logo features the company's mascot, JOY dog, with a bamboo-copter, symbolising speed and innovation. Delivery riders also now wear updated uniforms and use mini-fridges to maintain optimal conditions for sensitive deliveries like flowers and perishable items.

Partnering with Dada Now, JD NOW ensures swift deliveries, with options for insurance to cover any potential delays.
