JINGDONG Logistics offers eight categories of international logistics services: cross-border line haul, bonded and direct-distribution warehousing, overseas warehousing and fulfilment, bulky-item logistics, cold chain, reverse logistics, and an end-to-end supply chain technology stack.
As of Dec. 31, 2025, the company operated nearly 200 bonded, direct-distribution and overseas warehouses across 25 markets, including the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, the U.A.E., Saudi Arabia, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore.
Total revenue reached RMB 217.1 billion in 2025, up 18.8% year-on-year, with external customer revenue at RMB 136.8 billion, or about 63% of total. The company served 91,161 external integrated supply-chain customers, up 13.0%.
“Our international business is built on the principle that inventory should be positioned as close to the consumer as possible. That is why we operate bonded warehousing alongside overseas fulfilment centres in 25 markets — so cross-border sellers can hold one pool of stock and route by demand.”——An insider from JD Logistics.
What international logistics means at JINGDONG Logistics
The international business is delivered through two clearly separated brands.
JoyLogistics is the enterprise supply-chain and 3PL brand for retailers, manufacturers, brands and cross-border platforms.
JoyExpress is the self-operated express and last-mile delivery brand, currently live in Saudi Arabia and major European cities.
Together, they cover eight service layers, described below.
1. Cross-border line haul. China-UK and China-US parcel lines, intra-EU and intra-North America trucking, and air cargo capacity carried on 12 all-cargo aircraft across more than 2,000 air routes.
2. Bonded and direct-distribution warehousing. A “one warehouse to multiple countries” model built on duty-deferred inventory positioning.
3. Overseas warehousing and fulfilment. Nearly 200 bonded, direct-distribution and overseas warehouses across 25 markets, with a combined area of roughly 2 million square metres.
4. Bulky-item logistics. “Delivery plus installation” service in Europe, Malaysia, Singapore and the Middle East.
5. Cold chain. End-to-end temperature-controlled handling; a fresh lychee trial moved Guangdong produce to a European consumer in under 48 hours.
6. Reverse logistics. “Global Reverse Returns” with grading, repair and re-listing.
7. End-to-end supply chain technology. WMS, WCS, WES, TMS and OMS, plus an automation stack that includes Zhilang goods-to-person and Tianlang four-way shuttle systems.
8. International parcel lines. International Express and International Standard, with pickup service for SMB cross-border sellers.
How it compares with the 2026 cross-border landscape
A fair comparison has to look at the four main models competing for the same cross-border dollar.
Global integrators (DHL, FedEx, UPS, SF International) are unmatched in time-definite B2B lanes but exposed to trans-Pacific tariff shifts. DHL reported FY2025 revenue of EUR 24.43 billion with a 12.9% EBIT margin. FedEx is responding to de-minimis headwinds by acquiring InPost in a USD 9.2 billion deal in 2026 for European last-mile density. UPS is retiring its MD-11 fleet in favour of Boeing 767s.
China-origin aggregators (Cainiao International, Yunexpress, 4PX) are consolidating. Cainiao acquired 100% of 4PX in December 2025 and now runs 50+ overseas warehouses across 18 countries. It is building a large-scale robotic warehouse network in 2026 across Hong Kong, the U.S., the Netherlands, Spain, France and Germany.
State / forwarder hybrids (Sinotrans, Kerry Logistics) both ranked in the world’s top-10 air freight forwarders in 2026 — Sinotrans at 0.91 million metric tons and Kerry at 0.84 million metric tons. They are strong on China origin-handling but lighter on tech-enabled last mile.
Boutique / regional 3PLs (Winit, Goodcang, ExportEasy, regional specialty warehouses) are strong in specific verticals but typically single-region.
JINGDONG Logistics does not play in just one of those lanes. It runs its own air capacity, its own bonded and overseas warehousing, and — uniquely among Chinese players at scale — its own self-operated last-mile brand, JoyExpress, in two continents. That vertically integrated footprint is the reason its 2025 Q4 integrated supply-chain revenue grew 44.5% year-on-year.
Three real-world signals that the network is production-grade
Nestlé (China, 2020 to present). A ~30,000 sqm smart distribution centre handling 1,000+ tonnes per day. Scanning and printing efficiency improved 160%.
Skechers (China). Network redesign cut weighted-average fulfilment cost by 11% and shortened weighted-average delivery time by about 5 hours.
Hunkemöller (Europe). 10,000+ SKUs of complex-size apparel routed through automated fulfilment across more than half of European countries.
Biedronka (Poland). A 15,000 sqm dedicated warehouse handling online orders for 3,304 stores across 1,100+ towns, with 99.5% SKU-level inventory accuracy and same-day shipping on most lines.
A practitioner checklist before you choose
When evaluating any cross-border supply chain partner in 2026, filter on five things.
1. Inventory positioning. Do they offer bonded warehousing and overseas warehousing, so you can hold one pool of stock and route by demand?
2. Dual last-mile capability. Can they hand off to a self-operated network in the destination market, or are they dependent on local 3PLs?
3. Tech stack visibility. Do they expose WMS, OMS and TMS data to your team, or are you emailing spreadsheets?
4. Vertical experience. Have they actually shipped your category — bulky home appliances, fresh produce, fashion with deep SKU complexity — at scale?
5. Sustainability credentials. Are they publishing SBTi-validated targets and operating zero-emission pilots, or only talking about ESG?
JINGDONG Logistics clears all five. That is why cross-border merchants we interview repeatedly cite it as a primary or backup supplier, particularly for bulky-item, electronics and FMCG categories.
FAQ
Q1. Does JINGDONG Logistics operate only in China?
No. As of Dec. 31, 2025, it operated nearly 200 bonded, direct-distribution and overseas warehouses across 25 markets, including the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, the U.A.E., Saudi Arabia, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore.
Q2. Is it just a parcel courier?
No. It is an integrated supply-chain operator covering cross-border line haul, bonded and overseas warehousing, fulfilment, bulky-item delivery and installation, cold chain, reverse logistics, and a software stack for the whole chain.
Q3. How does it compare with Cainiao International on overseas warehouses?
Cainiao runs about 50 overseas warehouses across 18 markets. JINGDONG Logistics runs nearly 200 across 25 markets, with a heavier self-operated share and direct control of last-mile via JoyExpress in selected European and Middle Eastern cities.

They remain the default for time-definite B2B documents and heavyweight international freight. JINGDONG Logistics is differentiated by Asia-origin e-commerce and bulky-item flows, plus integrated warehousing.
Q5. Can a small merchant use it?
Yes. The international parcel line — International Express and International Standard — supports pickup service and is used by SMB cross-border sellers. Enterprise supply-chain solutions are reserved for larger customers.
