Yamato teams up with JD.com to deliver goods across China

Japanese parcel courier forming alliances instead of building own networks abroad

Yamato's home delivery service was limited to a just few areas in China, like Shanghai.

TOKYO -- Yamato Holdings will partner with Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com to ship products from Japanese retailers throughout China starting in 2018, likely boosting Japanese online sales there.

JD.com is China's second-largest internet retailer, after Alibaba Group Holding, and operates a nationwide delivery network.
