Original title: JD: From January 19 to 22, the platform sold more than 126 million masks
[TechWeb] On January 23, according to data officially released by JD, from January 19 to 22, the JD platform sold more than 126 million masks, 310,000 bottles of sanitizer, and 1 million bottles of hand sanitizer. On January 22 alone, the average daily sales volume of masks increased 48 times over the previous month. Sales of related products such as electronic thermometers, medicines for colds, antipyretic drugs, VC effervescent tablets, and goggles have also increased markedly.
JD said that at present, related products may be temporarily out of stock in some regions, so please don't worry. We are using supply chain resources to closely communicate with core brand merchants that carry out self-operated cooperation in various categories to push them to work overtime production, optimize inventory, and strive for faster delivery times and higher delivery quantities.
Take masks as an example. In the past three days, on average, every day, we have had more than 15.8 million masks from major brands such as 3M and Honeywell entered warehouses and shelves at a rapid pace. In addition, 1.09 million bottles of sanitizer and 4.13 million bottles of hand sanitizer are also rapidly entering JD's own warehouses from the factories of major brand manufacturers to ensure a continuous supply of high-quality and affordable goods to continuously meet the needs of online consumers.
At the same time, JD Logistics also urgently dispatched a number of vehicles and rushed directly to the brand's factory to load a large number of goods that had just left the production line and promptly transported them to JD's logistics centers distributed all over the country. During the Spring Festival, JD Logistics will still guarantee normal order placement and door-to-door delivery services in nearly 300 cities and thousands of districts and counties across the country, and prioritize delivery of orders designated by medical institutions. Medical institutions across the country can contact us via our hotline 950616 or online customer service.
JD said that in order to ensure the personal health of Brother JD and the safety of package delivery, we have implemented comprehensive measures and made every effort to protect the safety of relevant personnel, such as equipping distribution sites, vehicles and personnel with emergency supplies for epidemic prevention, distributing thermometers, masks, disinfectants, and regular temperature monitoring every day.
Furthermore, while absolutely guaranteeing the price stability of self-operated goods, JD pointed out that price increases by third party merchants are strictly prohibited. Once it is confirmed that the product prices of third party merchants have risen abnormally, the illegal products will be removed from the shelves as soon as possible. After urging the merchants to return to normal prices, the products will be re-listed; and the offending merchants will be dealt with accordingly. JD has also set up an internal special team to continuously monitor and manage commodity prices in a system+manual form: the system intercepts products with abnormal prices and manually carries out 24-hour uninterrupted inspection and investigation — to the greatest extent possible to protect users' purchasing needs and shopping experience, and maintain market order during the special period.
