SF Intra-city

What SF Intra-city does

SF Intra-city (顺丰同城) operates an on-demand same-city delivery platform headquartered in Shenzhen, China, as a subsidiary brand of SF Express (顺丰速运). Its core offering is a same-city urgent delivery service with a claimed 1-hour average delivery time, a 98% on-time delivery rate, and 365-day service availability. The platform supports both individual consumer use cases (documents, parcels, food, fresh produce, flowers, personal errands) and business/merchant customers across 28 industry verticals, including F&B, retail, supermarkets, e-commerce, fashion, luxury goods, and consumer electronics.

The service is delivered through three primary digital channels — a native iOS/Android mobile app, a WeChat Mini-Program, and a web-based ordering portal at sf-cityrush.com — with an additional dedicated merchant cooperation (招商合作) channel for enterprise accounts. Underlying technology includes real-time order tracking, route optimization, privacy-protection features (hidden addresses and virtual phone numbers), and a per-order pickup verification code system designed for accurate handoff.

SF Intra-city monetizes through a hybrid model: per-delivery transaction fees for on-demand consumer shipments and subscription/recurring enterprise-grade delivery solutions for merchant and B2B customers across the 28 covered verticals. Pricing is usage-based, varying by distance, weight, and time requirements, with no public price list disclosed. The business is privately held within the SF Express group and operates exclusively within mainland China, with no disclosed external funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership changes in the available data.
