JD has its deliver and warehouse and still use network of delivery companies and warehouse too. Tmall and Taobao use a network of delivery companies their own logistics arm Cainiao is not that big in warehousing and last mile delivery like SF Express or YTO. In reality logistics is capital and labor intensive industry, Amazon will have trouble once the retail growth flatten but the cost structures are high. Amazon once unionized will have similar challenges and costs like UPS. This is the reason FedEx never want to be unionized. |

I'm not sure about TMall but I know that in Beijing they used to have a distribution point roughly every 10km through the whole city.
When you used to setup your address you selected the closet distribution center to you (I assume because the maps were not setup then. You don't select it any more.)
When I buy packages in Shanghai about half of them are delivered through a 3rd party and the rest are direct. It may just be my area though. I assume it depends where the product is come from...
