The moment you start tweaking the payment on delivery method to the extent that the buyer would leave his or her house to go collect the item somewhere else, the service becomes defeated sort of. I really don't know why everything that is being introduced to make life easier for us, gets abused in naija. Sometimes, I feel this country is a cursed land. I think for a start, delivery men should be warned not to enter into people's houses. Anyone who orders an item, should be able to come out of the house to the gate where passersby would be able to see them.

Jumai had to introduce pay at delivery after many customers complained about the quality of their products especially cloth items.

If they hadn't screwed up the first time around maybe Nigerians would have been confident about paying online and getting the quality they saw on their website.

you watch too many movies eh? i laughed when you wrote this "the Agency can swiftly alert their standby response security team (Police, vigilante or whatever). this isnt APB tv series, this is Nigeria where shiit goes sideways. how many standby response team is available in Nigeria?

factwriter:



I am not fantasizing, this is a business investment valued well at over a hundred million Naira. Enacting personal security mechanism is very well within the reach of any serious company of such standing.

Have you ever heard of any Dangote haulage being hit (robbed) anywhere within Nigeria or even across West or Central Africa?

Where security is Concern we mustn't lose hope or be discourage by our police ineptitude, we should explore technology and innovations, it works.

What's the purpose of ordering for something if it's never gonna get to my doorstep? Here are my suggestions going forward:

1. If it's a company, do PoD
2. Delivery men should be trained in the art of self defense as is being practiced abroad
3. If item isn't very expensive and customer is a tried and tested one, do PoD
4. No delivery man should enter a private residence.

It's bad deal for online shopping malls to cancel PoD because of a single incident. It may seem callous but the pros far outweighs the cons, so let them think outside the delivery box - literally.

cybriz82:

SalamRushdie:
Delivery men must never ever enter into a customers compound, house or office ...let all deliveries be concluded in the open streets

dacza:
boyz will be hunting drones like they be hunting birds

Some with catapults

Every town and city should have their own pick up centres that you'll pay to their cashier on the spot or you come with bank tellers.

edewojames:


Not really. I am talking about cargo drones here. They are small drones that will help deliver goods to a particular destination.
