Talking of "fake" I think it all boils down to an individual. Some people are willing to buy the "fake" at low cost without much ado and deal with its problems later. Fake in this case I presume means replica of the genuine

Well well,

If Jumia give refunds then that's a positive. Quite a change from the "Goods once sold can't be returned." that I saw on countless receipts from shops when growing up.

@Gachanja, why not put the link of the fake item here? It might help someone else

I just left Jumia offices on Wetlands to complain on the same and why the same fake item is still on the site and they say they can't withdraw it. They would refund me if I had the item but the the item is still on site and being advertised everwhere. Pains my heart.
I dont even want a refund but it would be my joy go see them sell original stuff only. They say they can't open a product to confirm if it's original so they'll deliver it to you the way it is.
I'm disappointed

@Alvin, and that is how you have lost business you never knew you had.

And by you, I mean all other vendors who are shying away from embracing some form of e-commerce at least for their hardware, for whichever reason. Yes, you will continue selling, yes you will continue expanding, but you could have done that last year simply by changing your delivery model.

That said, I know next to nothing about running a business, so all this is just opinion.

@Alvin, channel distributors like you can also sell (your hardware) on Jumia, and bypass the hassle of setting up an online shop on your website.

True Alvin, I agree in that aspect, but how will they become better in the so called shoes and trousers if all we do is criticism here and not give actual feedback? We are a techie list and here is where we should be honing new online shopping ideas, not saying that once I am burnt I will now stick to Luthuli Avenue - where people are burnt every single day

On Electrical/ Computer  Equipment unless they have Partnerships with Manufacturers like HP / DELL /  LENOVO and the like

they will never have a sound proper backing. Save them for buying shoes , shirts , trousers at all that don't require technical expertise.

Jumia sell as a 3rd party anyway.

How do we ever think they will get better if all we say is never again? As much as we have bad experience with online shopping, there is worse experiences with locating physical shops and that has never stopped you from shopping!

Quite interesting how many of us have had an experience with Jumia. I once bought a laptop from them and what followed is a story for another day. But as somebody put it, reviews are important and hopefully we shall one day get there.

Kind regards,

This is a system that is working. If they allowed a return, and refunded your money, that is the best they can do. It may be a completely genuine mistake to supply a 3G version of the similar 4G version. I've actually ever bought a 3G phone on a physical brick and mortar shop, thinking it's 4G. The manufacturer had the same phone make with different bands. And I never bothered to confirm or ask.

Jumia's customer care does not seem very syncronised, but at least it works, and they answer to email, and process refunds.

AND the best part, they allow you to scrutinise the goods at your premise before parting with your hard earned money.

My take, the e-commerce ecosystems is maturing, and gamechangers like Jumia is all we need, albeit foreign.

If you are a Jumia rep, have them give me a voucher for vouching for you :)
