Amazon is the world's largest cross-border e-commerce platform, and JD.com is a leading e-commerce platform in China. So what are the differences between their logistics systems? Is Amazon's warehousing and logistics system better than JD.com's? Next, we will compare their similarities and differences from the aspects of logistics distribution warehousing, warehousing allocation, sales distribution, and time-limited logistics loss.
Logistics and distribution Warehousing:
Amazon: Warehouse nearby and serve the whole country from one warehouse.
JD.com: 5 major warehouses nationwide. A simple calculation shows that JD.com’s warehousing costs are four times that of Amazon (the advantage is that its delivery time is comparable to that of Amazon when delivering nearby).
Warehouse allocation:
Amazon: The system automatically assigns storage details based on sales records.
JD.com: Merchants allocate it themselves.
Sales and delivery: Amazon: The delivery speed in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen is the same as that of JD.com. Orders placed in other regions will have an estimated delivery time.
Time-limited logistics loss:
Amazon: Merchants are responsible for any losses before goods enter storage, while Amazon is responsible for any losses after goods enter storage.
JD.com: The merchant is responsible for any loss before warehousing, and the merchant is responsible for any damage incurred during delivery after warehousing.
Warehouse:
Amazon: For warehousing appointments and merchandise counting, only 1-2 people are allowed to enter the warehouse waiting area, and only 1 person is allowed to enter the receiving scanning area. There are security scans when entering and leaving the receiving area. During the inventory process of goods, the system is updated while they are being counted and put into storage, so that they can be put into storage and sold immediately.
JD.com: Make an appointment for warehousing, and there will be a dedicated person in the receiving area to count the goods. Generally, the goods can be sold the next day after receipt. Of course, the longest time we encountered was 1 week. The warehouse management is also very strict and worthy of recognition.
