From food to groceries, there’s no shortage of delivery for those of us adamant to stay fully quarantined these next days. New to the delivery service hype is China Post; not the first name to come to mind when you want fresh groceries, but China Post, a Chinese State-Owned Enterprise has been a reliable name in delivery long before there was SF Express.
China Post has introduced a WeChat mini program called You Zheng Can Dan (邮政菜单) that lets you order eggs, fresh vegetables, and fruits with same-day delivery if you order before 10 am. To sign up is easy. Since it’s a WeChat mini program and not a separate app, all they ask for is your phone number to send you a confirmation code. Then you’re in.
Once you’ve logged in, selecting a category is easy since there are only three. All you need to do is select a photo of either the vegetables, fruits, or eggs. Then scroll around until you’ve finished selecting what you want to purchase.
Once you’ve added everything, select your shopping cart to proceed.
The first time you use the app you’ll need to enter your address. If you’ve already saved your address in your phone’s contact, all you need to do is give the mini-program permission to access your address book through a pop-up (in English).
If you need to make changes to your address, click on it to make the edits. Tip: if you don’t know your zip code you can put 100010 for Beijing.
After the address part is done, then the last step if to proceed to WeChat pay.

That’s it. Have fun cooking!
