The last time I bought some good off Jumia, they were totally off what they described. I gave them out free of charge after I checked and found out the return policy was equally fake! Wah!

Jumia links you, the customer, to a vendor. 
Their urge is for the commission, for better business, they need a quality assuarance department to ensure they deal with reputable vendors who don't do counterfeit stuff. Sadly, such department doesn't exist with them. 

My weakness, advantage as well is that before buying a gadget/equipment locally, i have to view, touch & bargain. Locally, online is not an option. Tho' Amazon and likes is an option, they have never dissapointed when it comes to quality.

They actually do. Depends on who is fulfilling the order (Jumia or Reputable vendor)

My question is why do you all think JUMIA in particular sells 'Genuine Stuff''?

I am still skeptical about buying things online and having them delivered to me. What I do, is at the end before checkout they show who fulfills the order and I just go and buy the item from them. It is cheaper since I can bargain.

That works for me for now though it beats the benefits of online shopping.

Gachanja,

I was also sold (on Jumia) what I believe are fake Sony headphones last year. Since they weren't too awful and that I didn't want to have to wait to be refunded then look for some others, I just let it be.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions...

Regards,

Hi guys

Be careful when you buy goods online even on Jumia. You will find new counterfeit items there too. Yes they sell original products like the Samsung I'm using that I got there in 2015 but they sell fake too especially accessories like power banks, earphones, chargers etc. I ordered Sony earphones for 1000 only to receive counterfeit ones that you can get for sh 150 on Luthuli Avenue.
I raised the alarm on twitter and many replied with how they have received fake stuff too including clothing.
Jumia replied and told me I can return them for a refund but I had already got rid of them out of  frustration.
I would advice visiting original physical stores like Anisuma, Nakumat and Safaricom shops.
Be careful.

Regards,
Gachanja.
