Phones / Is This The Way Jumia Is Ripping Nigerians? Very Bad!! by RealTechFreak: 1:05pm On Feb 08, 2018 |
I want to bring to d notice of d Public my nasty experience with Jumia and to enable an average Nigerian to be wary of their practices. This is also to draw d attention of d Nigeria Ministry concerned to observe and sanction, as deem necessary, d gross erring and fraudulent practices of these Service providers, esp. authorised online sellers. I placed an order of a smartphone (Order no. 36934xxxx) on Nov.27-2017 @ N16,815 with Jumia, with delivery instructions of 10 - 20 days delivery. After failing to deliver within d sripulated period, I've placed several calls and sent series of mails to Jumia Customer care registering my displeasure at d breach of contract and d usual responses I do get remained "we are sorry for d inconveniences". At exactly 53 days, a defective phone was delivered to me: when d phone was powered on, d screen remains blank white. After several attempts to get it on failed, I contacted d Customer Care to register d issue d same day and retrival was arranged after about 5 days. After having confirmed d problem, I was contacted that a refund will be processed. I instisted that I prefer to have a working phone than a refund that won't be able to buy d same phone again at d price I bought it initially because its price has now gone up. After much arguments, I was assured a voucher compensation will be processed to augument d price difference since Jumia doesn't offer replacement. I categorically said d voucher compensation will be acceptable by me only if it completely takes care of d difference in d price buying d same phone again, now that my money had been tied down dis long.The jumia rep (name withheld) and I confirmed d least price of d phone then being 21,600 and d Rep. promised to get back to me soonest looking now at just N4,785 voucher compensation. Shortly after dis conclusion, now Jan.31, d mail I received frm Jumia was captioned "Request resolved" with N16,815 voucher indicated. Confused about content of d mail as to whether dis voucher is in addition to my money (N16,815) which is to be be refunded or my money has just been refunded without any compensation, I sent several mails to Jumia to clarify issues but no response any more frm them. Since I'm not hearing anything frm jumia again, by Feb.8-2018 I decided to call d Customer Care but to my greatest surprise, I was told that d N16,815 is simply my money money Jumia had just returned. Now d questions are: . In dis acclaimed returned N16,815 where is d promised voucher compensation? . Atleast to protect her integrity, is N4,785 voucher too much for jumia to bear having unduly tied down a buyer's money for over 2 months? . Could dis be sufficient reason why Jumia would not respond to my mails for clarifications? . Does dis act not contravene d terms of d contract? I paid cash (frm my card) to buy, why should my money be converted to voucher? . With whose consent was d money return in a way of voucher? Must I be compelled to use my money again on their platform? . So any authorized online seller, like Jumia could hold buyers monies to ransom for more than 2 months without any compensation? . Is our government really regulating d excesses of these sellers? . If dis is d way Jumia holds down many Nigerians monies, can u imagine surplus illegal funds that will be available in Jumia coffers floating her business. TILL THIS VERY MOMENT, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY PHONE FROM JUMIA, NEITHER GOT MY MONEY BACK NOR ANY COMPENSATION. Today makes it 73 days I placed d order. Pls let's all look into dis. NB: Mods, pls do d needful. 13 Likes |

@all, I must confess I learnt a few things on your contributions. While, still contemplating on d choice to make, Jumia dispatch rider already knocking at d door. Wow, wify was on ground to do assessment by herself, hit d camera app, took some snaps, gt fascinated at d clarity of d shots & settled immediately for it. Reminding her of d micro sim..ish, she was ready to damn any consequence. lol. Eventually, she did a welcome back of her sim & it was converted to 2-in-1. Now she can even use d sim either as mini or micro. Well, i've taken time out for some days now to test out other features/functions of dis baby, tho' it doesnt come pre-installed wt file mgr & a few other apps, I must admit it's a gd phone for dat price. PROS: - gd camera, fast processor, fascinating ui, etc CONS: - can't still fathom d hype abt d battery cos it doesnt last as such. Also surprised dat its customised flip pouch/case supplied wt it does nt turn off d device when closed. D white plain/non-transparent bgrd of d apps drawer is also a minus as well as inability to create a draft sms without first inputting d recipient no. D unnecessary up & down wide margin/border of d screen also chops off considerable part of d screen thereby really reducing d working screen, afterall no physical home button. And of course, d power button apart frm using it to hibernate d screen, does nt hv d usuall restart, data ntwk mode & airplane mode. D only option there is 'shut down'. All d same, I recommend d phone and to really maximise d usage u must be prepared to do a few/lot of customisation. Thnks once again. |

LAWLESS250:Frm your first set of pic, esp. No.3 on d fp, I knew u must be a funny guy: snapping d phone while between your two ankles, just as a typical yoruba woman wl position to turn amala. lol. Now snapping dis last set in d market, of all places. Honestly I'm impressed at your simplicity & being natural. Thnks for sharing. |

@all, can any1 come out bold to confirm or recommend pix quality of any of these phones under consideration? Either day shot or nite shots? D gd side or d down side? I asked dis cos a friend was advised lately to get Jiayu G4s mainly cos of its 13mp/3mp cam spec. To be honest, d cam is great during d day bt nite shots isnt fantastic even wt its flashlight. Sometimes it's even d flashlight dat 'spoils' d sharpness of d pix. |

LAWLESS250:I love your honest review which also confirms series of other comments/reviews online abt d 'heat'. Btw she sees d camon c8 as bogus & couple wt her phobia for tecno. Frm your experience of use, hw would u rate d 5mp back cam of infinix hot? I'm also so particular abt d pix quality cos I used Nokia 5mp camera b4 & its output beats many 8mp, 13mp of nowadays. Then wt d resolution of 480x854, 196ppi, hw is d screen display while in daylight, as in probably under d sun? Thnks |

runzlord:Thnks bros. I didnt seem to get u here. Does it mean there are fake infinix hot? runzlord: runzlord:Nt really sir. Cutting d sim is no big deal bt she uses d same sim on other phone & modem sometimes. Moreover, she's bn a victim of where micro sim wt adapter spoilt a very expensive modem in a bid of making up to mini sim size. |
