quality Control is a big issue. A lot of counterfeits, even in Jumia, esp when orders are fulfilled by local partners. Once bought a "Swiss Gear" laptop bag on Jumia but what was delivered was a very poor fake. Luckily, they accepted and refunded.



What about local known brands? What makes Bata not have a online shop forexample? We know our shoe sizes but surely many will have that phobia to go in with kids and do some fitting so why not try to sell online?

Why would a parent have phobia to take his kids to a shoe shop?

I've gone through the process and it seems there's a discount a shoe worth 1,799 + 350 shipping cost ended up costing Ksh 1,789. This could be a bug too as they dont mention any discounts

They dont mention when I will receive the pair


Interesting Laughing out loudly

All stores should follow suit. Online shopping will create other opportunities as the goods will need to be transported to wherever.

once bought shirts online, the size was supposed to be large, and true, the label also indicated large, but in reality they were xxl.

I've used Jumia and the items are delivered next day and are as described on their website. I use pay on delivery option so that I pay for what I see. Am a happy customer.
