I am amazed which the way we Nigerians glorified online store. To the extent that some people no longer visit the near by market for their needs or ask questions.



What made me to pass this information was the day l made enquiry about the prices of different inverters make and it range. I was surprised when l compare the prices given to in the market and the once online(despite their cunning discount, l know a lot of people are falling to this). What made my curiosity to grow further details about online stores, are as follows

1. When l was having a discussion with a lady. She told me that when she check the price of a particular material in the Internet and when she unknowingly went to the product dealer store.
2. Trade fair.
Now without wasting much of your time. This are what online stores do that you think are right

1. They are Wholesalers but sell higher than Retailers(are you surprised, then make enquire).
2. Some items you buy cheap online are either old one or given as gifts, charity etc.
3. Don’t be fooled by the discount because they are not fool to loose profit.
4. Old items but repackaged in a new box (you know what l mean).
5. Some products are not in the same grade with the original products (Quality Please).
6. Some are used as charity to some particular region but sold to you.
7. They are agents for companies from other countries.
8. They discourage Small scale and Medium Enterprise in an unknowingly way (this is a very complex issue which need a great understanding to the subject matter).
9. Welcome to the business world were you have to survive. So ..........

Note l am not discouraging online business or by from online or whatever you think. I am just passing out information to anyone everyone.

The prices of some goods in most online stores are higher than what you will get in the market.

take jumia for example, they dont sell all the products on their site. they just serve as middle men for their clients(normal businesses) so if there is anything wrong with the product you buy, its the fault of the clients and not the online stores

i agree that the prices might be higher than others outside but that's why you do research before buying. different people put the same product for different prices.

i said take for example.. or is Jumia not an online store?.

Thanks for the correction.

As for the suing better be on a safer side

The lesson is that you should have the knowledge of the product you wanna buy online

If you really know what you're doing, online stores can't rip you off.

I believe you are taking about Nigerian online stores, where like in every other sector of the country, anything goes.
I spend about 90% of my shopping money online, and its been a good experience - no regrets.

Here is one of the experiences I had shopping online.
https://www.nairaland.com/2565596/just-received-excellent-customer-service

Finally, Jumai and Konga - the largest online markets in Nigeria so far, are still relatively new to the business. I believe they will improve with time. We just need to be patient with them.

OP you are wrong, we at Lingerie City don't do those things. You can kindly read our customers review(feedback) before you buy from us.

true

Before nko

Op, ahhhh!!! Beru Olorun...
Many people i know buy only unique things or things that are not readily available online... Why buy something easily available online...

It's not rocket science

not all the points are correct tho , u even forgot to add that they monopolise some products

Known fact. Who wants to run at a loss in his/her business?

Please who has a dstv Walka 7 for sale call me on 08176567002...

shipping fee nko? unless u will pay for shipping

•I'm building my store at the moment &i'm not a wholesaler.

• old or charity items? That's funny are u looking for blog traffic or u are tryna make sense?

• The discounts are on profit not on cost prices, do u believe konga or jumia will spend millions on online ads and sell short of the cost price? I agree black friday deals in America are better still, but look at our economy...things went from bad to worse, doing business in Nigeria is tough.

•i agree a lot of online stores peddle fakes but this is a lot common in online market places where there are thousands of sellers and there is little or no regulation. Unfortunately jumia anf konga fall into this category.

•on discouraging smes I don't understand what u mean, are u saying we should stop buying online?

True talk

I HATE NIGERIA ONLINE STORES COS 98% OF THEIR PRODUCT IS SUBSTANDARD PRODUCTS e.g JUMIA

I have bought a lot of cheap things online. Some are more costly in stores.

For example. I went to LG shopin Abj Banex plaza, a particular LG 49" LED tv cost about 115k.

The same tv in NEXT cash and carry had a price tag of 130k.

Jumia had a price tag of 108,995 plus delivery charge

Armed with a 2k voucher i got it for 106,995 plus delivery charge.

I saved 8k for myself since my parents gave me 115k for it.

Still rocking all my items from malam audu store..

Noted

This is definitely an eye opener
