Why Can't Nigerians Shop Online?

you can all start it instead of complaining_{www.niajainfo.com}

The shopping online we're talking about is shopping to buy goods
online from Naija stores with shoprite as prime example.


He doesnt own shoprite


You're missing the whole point.

When the driver comes to deliver your stuff, he will come with an invoice
that itemises the things you ordered.

You confirm and sign. If your stuffs are not complete. You do not collect
them.

Hummn,
I am not here to encourage competitors  so if you are not into fashion business, i say the more you think the less you take action.

quick questions:
which Nigerian owned sites do u shop from?shoprite ?
How do u pay with paypal when u cant open a paypal acct from 9ja?

The poser is throwing challenges to everybody. Idea rules the world. And every good idea must start with basic question. I think this thread is one of the best that I have come across on Nairaland. The problems facing the country are so many that there is no need to go into them here. But most important is that of leadership. And when I say leadership, I do not mean political leadership alone, but also visionary and entrepreneurial leadership. People who can take a basic problem like the one faced by the poser, turn it into basic question and find solutions that will become an invention that will benefit all. And I believe that someone will soon come up with such inspiration. Pls  I am interested if we find more people to brainstorm on this to come up with  viable propositions.

sorry oh! guy wat are the requirements for forex - at least to prepare our minds,

CO-SIGN LOL!!! SOOOO TRUEEE!!! GET BIBLICAL ON THEIR AS** BROTHA!!!

 

To be honest shopping online is Nigeria is not that easy because there are certain factors to be considered.

1: houses is nigeria are not well numbered or well signed which will make delivery difficult for a store delivery groceries to a customer.

2: groceries have times of which they deliver and the customer or a representative has to be present to collect the goods and also each driver has a time length he has to deliver

3: traffic situation in Nigeria might not make delivering groceries in the afternoon or evening feasible as deliveries will tend to be bte 11am and 1pm when traffic is usually light.

even in uk and usa people still use other peoples card details to order for groceries and all they need to do is answer di door when the delivery guy buzz di bell and answer the name on the card the groceries was ordered in. not to talk of naija where it can take just less than 1hour to get an identity card in someone elses name. so its all about risk taking a someone said earlier.   

which ever company or store will do online delivery in naija has to be prepared to take the risk and also bearing in mind if someone card is used fraudlently in other countires all you need to do is compalin and under cisa international refund policy as long as the amount is les than £5000 i think you will get a refund straight away while investigation is going on and it takes about 30days and if you dont know about it insurance will cover the funds. but in naija it will be difficult to get refunds becos even people card that gets taking via atm card while the owner still has the card with them is difficul t for banks to make reufnds some people dont even get their money back. so its a matter of high risk and who is willing to take it.

rather than asking why, we should be asking what can we do and how can we do it. yes we have these problems and challenges but have we stopped to find out how we can make a change. the Americans and other civilized nations don't complain for long. they step up and fill the gap. look for better ways to make this work and propose online. you can even make genuine profit from it.

that's the way to move Nigeria forward that's the only way we can make Nigeria move to the next level.

forget Yahoo boys don't forget Nigerians did no.t start cybercrimes, Nigerians did not start to shop lift online but see the world has evolved around it.

we have great thinkers and brilliant young folks in this country. lets open our minds and do this thing. after all when white man start to dey envy us. na we go still dey proud

abi no bi so?
