In an increasingly impossible-to-take-seriously world, an earnest run-in with JD.com customer service
My most recent after-sales experience on JD was extremely poor. In fact, the matter was very simple: I returned the item, but they still shipped it; when it came time to refund me, they also wanted me to bear the shipping fee.
