BEIJING, May 31, 2013

BEIJING, May 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Jingdong ("JD.com" or the "Company"), China's leading direct B2C e-commerce company, announced that it has launched two new delivery services today, including "Night Delivery," which expands the order deadline for same-day delivery from 11AM to 3PM, and "Three-Hour Delivery," setting a new standard for last-mile delivery in the e-commerce industry.

Beginning May 31, Jingdong customers can now receive orders placed before 3PM the same evening between 7PM and 10PM through the Company's self-operated delivery network. The new service expands on the same-day delivery option in Jingdong's 211 program, which previously required orders to be placed by 11AM.

Jingdong also launched "Three-Hour Delivery," an option for customers who want to receive their products within three hours of placing an order. Both Night Delivery and Three-Hour Delivery are currently available in six major cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Wuhan, and Shenyang, with the aim of increasing convenience and flexibility for customers.

Jingdong's last-mile delivery network offers customized delivery options to its customers, including same-day, next-day, and timed delivery, in more than 150 cities across China, with a wide variety of payment options, like cash on delivery. The two new delivery initiatives are the latest improvements in Jingdong's long-standing commitment to providing customers first in class service, from their ordering experience to their speedy and convenient delivery options.

While Lenovo is one of the fastest-rising smartphone makers today, many Americans wouldn't know it when the company has never officially sold handsets in the country. They might soon be well acquainted, according to CEO Yang Yuanqing: he wants Lenovo to be selling smartphones in the US within a year's time. Mobile is the firm's next growth machine, he tells the Wall Street Journal, and that entails having smartphones in big markets beyond China, India and Russia. Yang is under no illusions that Lenovo can simply waltz into the fiercely competitive US market, but he also doesn't see much choice -- when the PC market is slowing down, business as usual may not be enough.
