It has always been like that on Konga and jumia if the items are from different merchants. But if its from only Konga, it will be one delivery charge.

Bro you have got to be specific, were the three items sold by different sellers? If yes, then obviously you have got to pay shipment fee for each of the items as some of this items sold by third parties are not even in custody of konga.

I recently bought about 5 different items - all sold by konga, and guess what, I was only charged N1000 as shipment fee.

Worse is that they slash the price of a good, only to add the slash to the shipping fee. Imagine charging 3,000 naira for the shipping of one tiny item.

I've stopped buying stuff from there since. When shipping is more than the price of the item. Change indeed

Do you believe that Konga now knows nothing again about consolidation of multiple items before delivery as they now charge full and separate delivery fees on each of the multiple items you buy on their site?

Imagine I recently wanted to buy 3 separate items from Konga on a single purchase; one is phone battery for N3,800 the other is a pair of jean trouser for N3,500 and the third is USB data cable for N700 and when I was about to check out, I noticed that Konga has added N1,000 each on the items as delivery fee, totalling N3,000 for the delivery charges and that was how I quickly terminated the order.

It seems Konga are failing to realise that they have competitors.

We are enduring the fact that they have recently hiked delivery fees on their items and then come again to notice this recent development.

It's now hightime person began to boycott shopping from Konga if they continue this way.

They even failed to realise that at times people shop for multiple items just because of leverage on delivery fees, but they have now defeated that aim by charging full seperate fees to deliver multiple items made on single purchase.

Would you have gone ahead with the purchase if you were in my shoes?

U simly bought from different sellers! Konga is a market place where they have different sellers. If all the items were from the same seller maybe you could call the seller to negotiate

The reason konga charged you differently was perhaps the 3 items came from different sellers.
you can confirm?? just view each of the item seller/marketer/distributor/promoter
recently I bought 12 same phone brands from them, still charged only a single courier cost.

It had happened to me before, I punished them by bit cancelling the transaction, I waited to their delivery agent called that he was at my bustop, I asked him and he confirmed that the five items I ordered were to by charged up to a turn of 6k +. I laughed at him and told him to go

What you people may not understand is konga is a marketplace where we have thousands of sellers or do you think konga own all the products you see that's displayed on their site? Even jumia doesn't! Some merchants are in Lagos and some are not in Lagos.

Where you ordered for 5 items it could be from five different merchants. With 5 different order number, every merchant ships differently or do you expect the merchant in Lagos island and one in mushin then the other one in surulere to start hooking up with themselves just because they want to ship your order?

If you order from same seller, you will be charged one shipping fee. If you order from konga itself you will be charged one shipping fee. Try it out and tell me if it doesn't appear that way!

And for those or y'all shouting jumia, jumia charges delivery fee based on weight while konga charges with distance. If you want to see Jumia's craziness on shipping fee, order for a washing machine, fridge and flat screen TV then check out the delivery fee. undecided

By the way I'm not a staff of konga. I'm just a merchant on both platforms so I know how it works.
Adios

Please someone help..I know it has Notting to do with the topic at hand.....am in mocambique in South of Africa....I sent one of my friend 100usd tru western union to ecobank nigeria, after charging me 15 usd for transfer fee...with the intention that I usd is 300 which shud be around 25k in naira...ecobank end up giving him 12000k...is it tru or my friend is trying to be smart....because I asked him to take 8k and give my brother the remaining balance. .I know my English may be weird but English is not my native language.

Ask your questions on travel section but I doubt if ecobank will give him 12k cos the central bank dollar rate is N199 or so. If you had sent the dollar to his dollar account then he would be able to exchange it at a higher rate.

KONGA still cheaper interms of shipment fee compare to Jumia, imagine i wanted to order for item cost #900 on jumia and shipping fee was #3880 for 1 item. And if you think Konga is more expensive, just compare both using their app on your phone, you will know the difference.

Just imagine what you're doing and you're happy about it undecided
When you notice the delivery fee and you weren't OK with it why did you ask him to come?
Its people like your that frustrate someone's hustle and take online shopping as a joke undecided

I guess your last shopping was 2015. Recently Jumia shipment fee is outrageous compare to Konga. #900 item , shipment #3880 on Jumia. Konga sell thesame item #900 and the shipment is #1k. So compare the two.

Items purchased by you is most probably sold by different sellers on Konga and each will be delivered to you separately by the sellers, hence the reason for separate delivery charges

Kara offers a unique offer to this, what is happening could be related to you buying from different merchants, so the order is not grouped.

technically the checkout is separated for each merchant on the store, so you pay for the shipping per merchant or per item/merchant.

You can try www.kara.com.ng , our marketplace offers combined shipping.

Before konga used to charge N1000 for all goods bought both merchant and konga itself, but since the turn of this year konga changed their delivery pattern. If you order from konga and different merchants, you will be charged separately and this made me to pend ordering goods from konga.

Konga have been calling me multiple times like dstv why i haven't ordered any product from them since this year.
