How do you buy Jumia Global Products?

It is very simple and hustling free! You will just place an order as you have been doing to other items that are not Jumia Global.


What is the mode of Payment for Jumia Global Products?

Do I need to pay for the items I ordered for in foreign currencies? The answer is no! You will just pay in the currency of your Jumia African country in which you are! Is not that good and amazing? So it means you buy goods from abroad and pay in your currency.

So the mode of payments remains the same as with all products found in the Jumia online Mall. You may pay via Mobile Money, by visa or master cards, or through the Jumia Pay. You have to choose which is convenient for you. You do not need to worry about foreign exchange rates or custom duties. Order, pay with the mode of payment you like as mentioned above and the item will be delivered to you!

We have to thank Jumia for helping us to shop for even products that are not present in our countries. It is so good because it takes some time for some products to be launched in African countries.


Why choose Jumia Global among other international online shops?

It must be noted that there are a lot of online shopping malls now like AliEpress, Amazon, and eBay. So why do I need to choose Jumia Global? In most of those e-e-commerce platforms, payments are made in foreign currencies. You and I know the headache involved.

Also, Jumia has partnered with many big international companies that produce quality products for sale. In fact, if you visit the Jumia Global page in your Jumia African country, you will attest to my testimony!

South Africa, Tanzania, and Egypt do not have Jumia Global at the time this post is being written but they still have good kinds of stuff in there. South Africa operates under the name "ZANDO" a Jumia company.


What is the delivery time of Jumia Global items?

Since the products are not in your Jumia African country, they are shipped from abroad. Because of this reason, products from Jumia Global take a much longer time to arrive. Products Shipped from Abroad takes between 5 to 19 business days to be delivered.

I have ordered a Jumia Global item, to my delight, it was delivered shorter than expected. But I think the kind of product you order counts as to whether it would be delivered early or not. This is just my opinion anyway, from my experience working with them.

Another risk is that most of the Jumia Global products are not covered with the manufacturer’s warranty. What this means is that you may not be able to return a product bought with Jumia Global tag. Unless the product you receive is different from the sample and description you ordered for. Or the product is defective.

It is an implied condition in the contract of sale of goods that the product ordered must correspond to the sample or description or sample and description that were presented to the buyer before the sale.

Finally, one of the conditions attached to Jumia Global products is that once you place an order you cannot withdraw it. The solution to this challenge is to examine the sample very well and read the descriptions thoroughly.
