Mrakeli:
Konga, e-commerce firm, has relaunched Pay On Delivery (POD) for the e-commerce market in Nigeria.

The service, which was launched August 1,2018, started with customers in Lagos, with plans to extend same service to other states from September 1st 2018.

The service is coming after Konga effectively achieved same day delivery of approximately 97 per cent of product orders in major cities in the last 30 days.



Confirming the development, the CEO, Konga Online, Mr. Nick Imudia, disclosed that POD was suspended when erstwhile owners – Naspers and AB Kinnevik were in discussions before the acquisition of the business by the Zinox Group.

“We have taken our time to restructure, improve our technology and capacity in terms of our own staff and logistics to meet customers’ expectations. We have invested substantially in our logistics arm, K-Express culminating in the acquisition of new line-haul trucks, delivery vansand motor bikes to meet the commitments of not just POD, but also achieve a minimum of 85 per cent same day delivery of major products categories by July 2019 across the nation as mandated by the Board of Konga.

“Someone must make it happen, and we have decided to take the bull by the horns with new mega warehousing and storage facilities being opened across the country with best in class technologies,” he affirmed.
Imudia, also stated that Konga, in line with its status as the biggest composite e-commerce company in Africa, is expanding its retail network as promised by the company’s management, with a target of 100 stores before the end of 2019 but with a long-term ambition of achieving 774 stores by 2022

“Effective August 1, 2018 and considering Nigeria’s deficient payment system, Konga customers had several payment and delivery options. This will go a long way to excite our customers and expand the numerous order fulfilment channels available to our customers.

“In addition to pre-payment and payment on delivery, you have the additional option of ordering online to pay and collect from the nearest Konga retail store. Our customers can also walk into any of our stores nationwide and with the help of our staff, order products we do not have in store, then pay and collect when it is delivered at the store or we deliver it at their door-steps. At Konga, we consider the challenges of our market and simplify things for our customers. No other e-commerce company offers these delivery and payment options on the continent,” he concluded.

This is good, unlike JUMIA that introduced pay-before-inspection of goods. Imagine the madness !, i order on POD and then when the goods/item arrives, I must make payment before opening the carton to inspect. And if after inspection the item is defective or a wrong item, I will have to start calling customer care to start the process of refund...........#Jokers.

I know that bars to the bank has sold many products on that website

For busy people like us, thanks Konga. I'm so gonna patronise them

So den still de exist

Depot:
I still give it to Konga, Jumia are still learners, they take forever to deliver items within Lagos. Outside Lagos na thy kingdom come.

I received items from them in Makurdi in 3days!

Ifedamolah:
At last.. Now I can order for that Camera and chose not to show up for pick up

Lwkmd .....wicked

Walk into any of our 'Konga Store' and inquire on how to buy and pay on installment basis. /

yemmybx:
Well done Konga!

I want to buy something from your store but I don't have enough cash, do you have any consideration for that?

Mutemenot:

magnusbane:


Exactly, bad news for we sellers. Nigerians are just mad

Oga what is lie about the news. I work with Konga and i can confirm it. If u don't know, say u don't not saying what u are not sure of. Shalom

hardywaltz:
Fat lie

Mr. Thomas, Stop doubting. It is real. we are good to go with POD

itiswellandwell:
Doubt this news!

adewumiopeyemi:
They need to be very careful. In pay on delivery.. there are some. Bad egg around.. jumiacase is still in the court concerned the delivery man who was killed

How does pay-on-delivery cause cases like the Jumia case? Whether or not, payment was made before or after delivery, the goods still have to be delivered. The delivery man was killed because Nigeria is insecure. It has nothing to do with pay on delivery.

Good. I stopped buying from Konga when they stopped POD
.

I bought a couple of substandard items in the past so I always want to see what I'm getting and don't want the long talk usually involved in getting a refund from e-retailers here.

Try buying from Konga and check their website for pay on delivery option.
I bought this morning and it wasn't there

I doubt if this is a good development

hmmm

bluefilm:
Konga why na?

You suppose know say our people too dey abuse.

Now they will start frustrating we sellers once again.

The Prepayment system didn't really help jor. Orders reduced drastically. Nigerians want to see and touch an item before they pay for it.

That was Jumia of 2yrs ago, their delivery rate has increased. We hope Konga can meet up with the competition now

What an innovation...
