Why do the Jumia Express products are delivered so fast?

They are so-called "Jumia Express" because these products are readily available at the Jumia warehouse.

So it means that the products are with Jumia and not with their vendors. Customers are guaranteed to have the availability of products. This ensures that when orders placed with products that are tagged with the Express Logo, they are delivered with speed.

Why do the products under the standard delivery take a relatively longer timeline for delivery?

Products under the standard delivery are products that are not always readily available as the Jumia Express products. These are products with vendors. If orders are placed, Jumia will consult the vendor of that particular product and the vendor will drop it at the Jumia warehouse. This explains why delivery under the standard system is not as fast as the Jumia Express service.

Why do the Jumia Global products take so long before delivery?

Products with this tag mean that they have been shipped from overseas but under certain circumstances could also be available at the Jumia warehouse due to high customer demands.

So these products in most cases are not in the country, they are sold by international companies and vendors. That is why it takes time for such products to be delivered to you!
