At a glance

Late Dispatches Risking DSR-Logistics counts the orders that have already passed their JD ship deadline and are now dragging on the Logistics axis of your detailed seller rating. JD sets buyer expectations around fast fulfilment - the JD Logistics 24-hour same-day-to-doorstep promise is a core part of the platform’s brand - so every order that ships late is a direct hit to the Logistics DSR axis and, through it, to your search placement. This card is the actionable backlog: the specific orders to dispatch right now before the rating damage compounds.

Calculation

For every open POP self-fulfilled order, the card compares the JD-assigned ship deadline against the order’s current dispatch status. An order counts as a late dispatch when the deadline has passed and no valid dispatch scan has been recorded. The displayed value is the total count of such orders at refresh time. Orders fulfilled through JD Logistics (JD’s own warehousing and last-mile network) are handled to JD’s standard and are excluded from the seller-attributable count; this card focuses on the POP self-fulfilled orders where the seller controls dispatch and therefore carries the DSR-Logistics risk. The alert list orders entries by how far each is past deadline so the most damaging are cleared first.

Worked example

A representative reading for a POP self-fulfilled seller on JD.com. At 09:00 on 18 Mar 26 the card reads 7. The alert list shows seven orders past their ship deadline: four are 2 to 6 hours late after a packing-line delay, two are a full day late and bound for Sichuan and Yunnan provinces where transit is already long, and one has been sitting for 36 hours because the SKU was oversold. The team triages: ship the six packable orders immediately to stop further axis erosion, and for the oversold SKU contact the buyer and arrange a substitution or refund before a dispute is opened. By midday the card reads 1, with only the oversold order outstanding. Watch the linked Logistics DSR axis over the following days to confirm it holds above 4.5.

Reconciling against the vendor’s own dashboard

Where to look in JD.com’s own dashboard: JD surfaces overdue orders in the order-management area, typically under a pending-shipment or overdue-dispatch view, and the resulting impact in the logistics-performance section of the seller scorecard. Confirm you are looking at POP self-fulfilled orders rather than JD Logistics orders, since the two have different deadline rules. Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ: Cross-connector reconciliation: pair this with the POP dispatch rate and pending shipment cards to see the full fulfilment funnel.

Known limitations / merchant FAQs

Q: How often does Late Dispatches Risking DSR-Logistics update? It is a real-time card. Each open order is re-checked against its ship deadline on every refresh, so a newly overdue order appears within the next refresh cycle and a freshly dispatched one drops off just as quickly. Q: I shipped an order but it still shows as late. Why? The dispatch scan has to sync from the courier to JD and then to Vortex IQ. There is a short window where the order has physically left but the scan has not propagated. It will clear on the next refresh once JD records the dispatch. Q: Does this include JD Logistics orders? No. The card focuses on POP self-fulfilled orders where you control dispatch and therefore carry the DSR-Logistics risk. Orders handled by JD Logistics are fulfilled to JD’s own standard and are excluded from the seller-attributable count. Q: Can I customise the alert threshold? The default fires on any order past its ship deadline, which mirrors JD’s own rule. If you want a buffer alert before the deadline, configure an earlier warning per profile in the Alert Rules tab.
