IMASTEX:I had a similar issue when I wanted to buy my Nokia X6, the version marketed in Nigeria is known as Nokia 6.1plus... The owner of the shop spewed the same trash with me and I only asked him: "Who Warranty epp?" and he gave up. I bought my Nokia X6 from Jumia at N62,000+, found out that the Phone had a problem of heating up, jejely called Jumia, who sent in their guy to retrieve the phone and jejely refunded me in full. Meanwhile, MTN, Glo, Airtel and all the shops were selling the phone at N85,000. See the difference of over N20,000? Let me also ask: Has anyone ever benefited from phone warranties in Nigeria? Because if you go to even the Tecno, Infinix, Itel, etc. care centres, all you get is Frustration! Frustration!! and even more Frustration!!! |

harjay1986:Men. That is cool just #500 for waybill. How long is the delivery time? Can one just order from any vendor on the platform or it has to be via a third party. |

FlyboyZee:You didn't go for another after the replacement? But did you observe any difference in any form outside the overheating problem. |

I have been patronising Jumia overseas products for years, I know the products that we are not using and if anything happens to it,I disposed it cos no spare parts but the one we have here,has no problem at all. There's nothing like different specifications,the sales girl was only trying to deceive her in buying inferior phone which is more available than superior ones.Am using Nokia 6.1plus which i bought from overseas, it's original and just as others in the market except fake ones. in conclusion,if you know that what you want to order for in Jumia overseas markets is not in our country better don't buy but if it is, they're the same with the ones here except fakes. |

So I wanted to buy the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7. On jumia it was 58k (3gb, 32gb version). I thought it would be cheaper in computer village so I headed to SLOT to buy... Slot said 60k, lol... I told the sales girl about the jumia price and how I expected to hear a little bit lesser price from them, then she started giving me that same programmed story your own sales girl gave you. I just laugh commot that obnoxious place, ordered from jumia with the Pay after delivery option. I gave the bicycle guy that delivered to me tips... And everything no still amount to 60k.. so use your head and follow your mind Bitter truth is most of these shop people... Especially the sales people hate when you talk about online pricing |

IMASTEX:The N500 is not the cost of the waybill. It is the charge you pay at the post office, most of the time, to collect your item you bought from abroad. Sometimes you may be lucky to get the item with free shipping, other times you may have to pay for the shipping. It is dependent on the seller and the item you are buying. But at the end of the day, you usually end up with a better deal than what is obtainable at the local shop near you. Also, the choice on whether to use a third party shipper or vendor or to buy directly from the sellers is totally dependent on you the buyer. Delivery time ranges between 8 days to up to 60 days depending on the shipping method used. Shipping with FedEx or DHL or UPS comes in under a week but at a higher cost compared to the free shipping. I once got a package delivered under 4 days, though it was a big package (about 1.7kg) shipped via DHL @$20 cost. Free shipping can land in Nigeria between 10 to 21 days. The thing is to just give it a month. I hope this helps. |

mctfopt:It will be better to effect direct buying myself. As long as the vendors are under strick regulation by the platform. And yes, the info was useful. Thanks |
