Jingdong notifies merchants to ban Shentong express delivery and falls into “cat dog war”

On August 18, it was revealed that JD released a notice in the seller’s forum. As the contracts between JD open platform and logistics service carriers such as Jiaji Express, Guotong express, caxingtianxia, Shentong express, such as Fengda and Quanfeng express, the merchants may not be able to select the above-mentioned logistics service providers in the system delivery list after August 31, and the relevant logistics tracking information is also It will not be able to be displayed on Jingdong platform. It is suggested that businesses switch to other logistics service providers. it is said that in June 2019, after the contract between Shentong and Jingdong open platform expired, the two sides were also in constant communication on the renewal of the contract. In the same period, Alibaba group became the actual major shareholder of Shentong through strategic investment. Therefore, Jingdong Logistics also proposed the cooperation demand of entering Alibaba’s e-commerce platform equally, but it has not been responded to so far. Based on the principle of fair, equal and win-win cooperation, JD and Shentong can not reach an agreement on the renewal of the contract, so they can only suspend the cooperation. “But the door of our cooperation has always been open, and we look forward to looking forward to the future with Shentong and looking for new cooperation opportunities.” According to Jingdong open platform, at present, more than 50 domestic mainstream express logistics enterprises, including China Post, Shunfeng, Zhongtong, Yuantong, Yunda, Yimi Dida and Zhongyou express, have maintained normal cooperation with Jingdong open platform, and businesses of Jingdong platform can choose freely, and order fulfillment and operation will not be affected. in response to JD’s move, Shentong said earlier, “after receiving feedback from merchants and outlets, our business leaders have been keeping in touch with relevant responsible persons of JD, but the problem has not been solved. The other side said in the communication that this termination has nothing to do with the quality of service. ” in the afternoon, the relevant person in charge of Shentong responded again: “Jingdong is not the first time to do this, Shentong is not the first express company to be stopped, let alone the last one. There has always been a hegemonic culture in Jingdong. There is only itself and there is no symbiosis. ” the close business relationship between e-commerce platform and express delivery enterprises has always been very delicate. As soon as the incident occurred, the “cat dog war” between Jingdong and Ali was staged again. according to public data, in July 2017, Jingdong Mall announced that it would terminate the cooperation with Tiantian express, and suggested that businesses should use Jingdong Logistics, Shunfeng, Zhongtong, Yunda, Shentong with better comprehensive service quality, and exclude EMS, Yuantong, Debang, Baishi and other companies. On August 21, 2017, Jingdong platform officially terminated the cooperation with Tiantian express and Baishi express. At the beginning of that year, Tiantian express was purchased by Suning logistics with 4.25 billion yuan. in recent years, through a series of equity investment, Alibaba and its newbird network have successively invested in five listed Chinese private express companies, such as Baishi, Yuantong, Zhongtong and Yunda. Among them, it announced its stake in Shentong last year and obtained the right to subscribe for Shentong shares. If Ali exercises the right, it will become the controlling shareholder and actual controller of Shentong. However, the majority shareholder of Shentong is still Chen Dejun, chairman. is it the “hegemonic culture” of the “big factories” of the Internet, or is the express company “crying out for the weak” to express sympathy? The dispute over e-commerce platform has affected the express industry. In the view of the industry, the disputes caused by the suspension of cooperation between the two sides may be far greater than the impact on their actual business.
