Jumia Uganda recently penned a partnership with global shoe retailer Bata and oil company Total to increase the number of pick up stations that consumers can pick their Jumia orders from.
This initiative is a part of Jumia’s strategy to reach more customers outside Kampala, where the demand for product variety and affordable product pricing is high.
According to the company’s CEO Ron Kawamara, Jumia continues to dominate the Ugandan online shopping space with 76% of Ugandan online shoppers relying on the platform as of 2019.
“We have also seen demand for our services in upcountry locations like Masaka, Fort Portal, Mbarara Gulu, and Lira. Therefore, our expanded pick up station network with Total and Bata will enhance customer confidence and the adoption of e-commerce in 2020 countrywide.”
Upon shopping on Jumia, customers from upcountry now have an option to pick their orders from the nearest Bata store during the checkout process, and the products will be dispatched to the selected office for collection. This is the same for customers in Kampala who have an option to pick their orders from the closest Total service station.
The new Bata pick up stations in the upcountry locations will also allow customers to pay cash as they pick up. Previously, cash payment for upcountry orders was restricted. This new cash on pick up payment for upcountry orders will enable customers to save on the delivery fee.
