If yes, then that answers the above question. Shopping online is actually fun because it eliminates a long chain of inconveniences and saves money. It gives no space for time wasting on traffic on the way to the shop, Fuel consumption especially in Lagos when you have to drive long distances to get to places like La plams mall lekki, Grand square Victoria Island, Prince Ebano supermarket Lekki phase 1 (all on the Island), long queues for checking out and the stress of walking round the mall to pick what you want.
With Online shopping you can shop all you want by doing simple things like Logging in into your preferred Nigerian online store. lets say Konga or Jumia, payporte even Adiba. Next go to the product section on the site and search for the product you want and you also have the option of narrowing your search by using the filter box available on the site or you can better still sort the item according to price either from the least expensive to the most expensive, vice versa. Next you click on the product and add to cart, when done with shopping you click on the checkout button to pay and have your products delivered to you. All these you do without even taking your foot off the ground.
The reason most potential Najia online shoppers are skeptical about this latest trend which has gone to compete with the traditional physical shopping is their doubt on the security level of online transactions such as payment and delivery.
The good news here is that in recent times these aforementioned setbacks are fast becoming a thing of the past as most stores such now deliver your product with 3 to 5 working days at most depending on your location, while for some it is just a matter of hours and the best part is that you will be called and told the time to expect your delivery.
When it comes to payment method, most Nigeria owned online stores have the option of "pay on delivery" which for me is the best for we naija. So that when your item is delivered, checked and in good condition as we saw online then you pay either using the POS or cash. Konga recently introduced a payment option called "kongapay" where you register as an official customer and will no longer be required to be entering your bank details on the web pay platform for payment when you make a purchase.
The fun thing about shopping online is that you can order all the heavy home appliances and will not be wondering how you will bring them home, because the online stores will deliver your good straight to your door step. Its not your business if the item gets damaged either during packaging, loading or offloading. When the delivery van delivers your ordered goods, you check it and find out that it has been damaged, you simply don't pay, they go back and get you another until you are satisfied.
I know you must be wondering what if you don't like the item you purchased after payment. Do not worry, they also run what is called a return policy.
For those still having doubt about online shopping, I advise you start having a rethink and give it a trial. You can as well kick start your trial with a little item such as a Bluetooth speaker, phone battery or something maybe a wrist watch.
Before complain about the internet speed, their site are data friendly.
Remember you may need to register with this online stores to become a customer and enjoy all the membership benefits. Registration is FREE and it is a way of having a record of your order to enable them keep track of it and also keep you informed as your order leaves their store to you wherever you are in the country.
