Practical guide
China food delivery: set the address before you build the basket
Use the live app flow to make your contact and delivery details clear before payment.
Shanghai’s municipal guide identifies Meituan and Taobao Flash Shopping as delivery platforms for meals, groceries and other products. Its Taobao Flash Shopping walkthrough says to enter a detailed address with road, building and floor or flat number, plus a contact name and phone number, then review the order and payment flow. Platform availability, language, merchant coverage, payment methods and delivery timing are live conditions—check them in the current app before ordering.
A clear next step
- Choose the delivery platform that is currently available to you and confirm it covers your accommodation.
- Enter a detailed delivery address, including the road, building and floor or flat number, plus your current contact name and phone number.
- Review the merchant, order, address and live payment options before submitting; follow the app’s current delivery instructions afterward.
