What Jd-sw does

Chinese e-commerce retailer known for own warehousing/delivery logistics, selling electronics, general merchandise and groceries.

Buys goods and resells them itself, earning a thin retail margin, while third-party merchants pay commissions and advertising fees to sell on its platform, a higher-margin part. Its own delivery network is also rented to outside shippers through JD Logistics, listed separately in 2021. It entered food delivery in 2025.

In one line: China's Amazon (retail + logistics).
