Tmall Supermarket will officially enter Taobao Hong Kong on May 31, promising "orders paid before 4 pm will be delivered the next day; orders paid after 4 pm will be delivered the day after next".

Wellcome and PARKnSHOP are reportedly considering a merger. When asked whether there are plans for offline M&A in Hong Kong, Ding Zhencai, General Manager of Taobao and Tmall for Hong Kong and Macau, said there are currently no offline acquisition moves.

He noted that more Hong Kong residents are traveling northbound with demand for mainland products, expressing hope that Tmall Supermarket's self-operated model can meet such demand.
