Nairobi Kenya,
3rd October 2014- JUMIA
Kenya a subsidiary of African Internet Holdings
and the leading online retail outlet has commenced operations at its
new hub located at Likoni, Mombasa.
The new hub will meet the demands of
coastal residents embracing online shopping and provide a significant
number of jobs for the area. A similar move expected in other towns
in Kenya.
Parinaz Firozi, MD Jumia Kenya said,
“We are committed to providing a stress free shopping experience
for Kenyans, the new hub is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance
service and meet customer demands with speed and efficiency.”
With the hub’s close proximity, the
company will now offer free deliveries for products above ksh. 5000
while those below the amount attract a shipping fee of Ksh. 200
within Mombasa. Customers will also have the option to pay cash on
delivery for products purchased.
Robinson Murage, Marketing Coordinator
said, “Since we allow customers to return or exchange products they
have purchased on our website www.jumia.co.ke
within 7 days, the challenge has been the time it takes to get a
product from Mombasa to Nairobi and back, a challenge the new hub has
solved.”
The expansion represents a milestone
in the company’s expansion strategy and a significant increase in
sales.
