Konga, a leading e-commerce firm in Nigeria, has said that it will re-introduce Pay on Delivery (POD) services, which was earlier suspended.
According to CEO of Konga, Mr Nick Imudia, Konga which was recently acquired by Zinox Group has taken giant steps to restructure, improve technology and capacity.
His words: “We have invested substantially in our logistics arm, K-Express culminating in the acquisition of new line-haul trucks, delivery vans and motorbikes to meet the commitments of not just POD, but also achieve a minimum of 85 percent same day delivery of major products categories by July 2019 across the nation as mandated by the Board of Konga.”
Imudia continued: “Someone must make it happen, and we have decided to take the bull by the horns with new mega warehousing and storage facilities being opened across the country with best in class technologies.”
He concluded by stating that: “Effective August 1, 2018 (the service will be hit other states on September 1st), and considering Nigeria’s deficient payment system, Konga customers have several payments and delivery options. This will go a long way to excite our customers and expand the numerous order fulfilment channels available to our customers. In addition to pre-payment and payment on delivery, you have the additional option of ordering online to pay and collect from the nearest Konga retail store.
The e-commerce space in the country has so far been dominated by Jumia unlike in the previous years where it had strong competition from the likes of Konga. With the reintroduction of POD, Konga will once again become a noteworthy competitor. Thus giving Jumia a run for their money.
