Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba on Wednesday tested its first drone delivery service in China, promising to whisk ginger tea to customers within an hour.
The experience, however, is confined to just three days and covers a few areas of three cities – Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou – with a total of 450 deliveries.
The Chinese e-commerce giant launched the three-day test by partnering Shanghai YTO Express Logistics Co on its flagship consumer-to-consumer Taobao Marketplace, according to a statement filed on microblogging site Sina Weibo.
