Anyone in the list tried this site *http://www.onlineshopping.co.ke/* Whats the uptake on COD (cash on delivery) e-commerce models in the country?

Interesting. I also wanted to know how those sites work. There is also area254.co.ke and liveonline.co.ke/onlinestore/ I especially took issue with the fact that all the three have somehow not specified any physical location in their about us/contact page.

I know the owner of area254.co.ke, they are located in Hazina Towers. The company was founded with capital from a bunch of Indians who in my opinion had too much loose change lying around. Anyways, they had a team doing sales and marketing, data entry, design etc. They signed up with with suppliers to help with the distribution of products etc... the rest is details .

Came across the same thing...the worse part is that I'm still stuck trying to find what I was forced to buy abroad here locally to no avail. Anyone out there have an alternative or a friend from America coming to Kenya any time soon? On Mon, Jan 28, 2013 at 12:25 PM, Bwana Lawi <mail2lawi@gmail.com> wrote:
