2.After-sale complaints: Submit the rejection certificate through "My Order-After-Sales Service" on the JD.com APP to be exempted from freight liability.
3.Dispute handling: If the merchant does not agree with the reason for rejection, you can apply for JD customer service intervention (the processing time is about 48 hours)
4. Recent hot-related events
In August 2023, a digital blogger was restricted by JD.com from the cash on delivery function because he refused to accept three high-priced cameras in a row. The platform responded that the user was suspected of "trial shopping" and related case tips:
- If large-value items (more than 5,000 yuan) are rejected, more detailed supporting materials must be provided.
- In principle, fresh/customized products cannot be rejected without reason.
5. Suggestions for alternatives
For hesitant consumers, recommended options are:
| Plan | Advantages |
|---|---|
| JD.com offers seven-day no-questions-asked returns | Supports unpacking and inspection, free return shipping (some categories) |
| Delayed payment service | Payment will be deducted after confirmation of receipt, and a 24-hour inspection period will be reserved. |
In summary, although JD.com’s cash on delivery rejection is a measure to protect consumer rights, it must be used reasonably. It is recommended to carefully read the "Signature Instructions" on the product details page before purchasing, and keep the complete unboxing video as evidence, which can not only protect your own rights and interests, but also avoid unnecessary disputes.
