Jumia
Jumia is one of Kenya's largest online selling platforms and
they recently celebrated their 10th year in the ecommerce industry. Everything
is sold under one roof, including mobile phones, men's and women's fashion,
laptops and computers, furniture, kitchenware, mattresses, groceries, and so
on. If you want to save money when shopping on Jumia, look for flash sales,
Cyber Mondays, or Black Fridays. You will also receive precisely what you ordered.
You can choose to pick up your order at a Jumia pickup location or have it delivered
to your door. When purchasing items, especially electronics, it is also advised
to first check the seller's rating and the number of items sold. This will
allow you to determine how trustworthy the seller is.
Jamboshop
Jamboshop takes pride in being one of the best affordable
e-commerce websites that houses everything you can possibly imagine, from trending
electronics such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, and accessories to in-vogue
fashion staples such as shoes, clothing, and lifestyle accessories; and
wardrobes to appliances that make your life easier such as washing machines,
TVs, ACs, blenders, and other time-saving kitchen and small appliances, we have
it all covered. Jamboshop Limited recently won an Ecommerce award as the 'best Ecommerce
Electronics website' at the 2022 Kenya Ecommerce Awards, and they will be celebrating
their 5th year in business this August with electrifying deals and daily offers
that you will not want to miss.
Kilimall
Kilimall is one of Kenya's oldest ecommerce sites, with
merchants hosting their stores on the platform. You can buy baby products, clothing,
home appliances, books, phones, computers, shoes, and other items here. While
customers are permitted to pay for goods upon delivery, Kilimall requires
payment prior to shipment. Take advantage of their promotions and keep an eye out
for their flash sales to save money.
Sky Garden
If you are a vendor who does not have your own ecommerce
website, Sky Garden is the platform for you. Sky Garden sells electronics, home
appliances, furniture, clothing, phones and accessories, and other items. The
platform's registration is free, and their delivery service is quick (they have
a same day delivery plan). Unfortunately, Sky Garden charges exorbitant prices for
its products. Take advantage of their frequent promotions and compare prices from
different sellers within the platform before selecting the most affordable.
Jiji Kenya
Jiji, formerly known as OLX Kenya, is a popular Kenyan ecommerce
store. Users can post free ads to attract buyers faster. Cars, phones,
furniture, bags, shoes, clothing, kitchenware, foodstuffs, and electronics can all
be purchased and sold here. It also sells used merchandise.
Naivas Online Supermarket
One of the biggest online retailers in Kenya is Naivas,
where you can buy items like furniture, books, kitchenware, appliances, baby products,
oil and sauces, fresh food, health products, office supplies, and more. Every
time you shop at Naivas, you have the opportunity to accumulate points, but you
can only pay using M-PESA. Seven days a week, from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm, they distribute
goods.
Masoko
Safaricom owns Masoko, an online trading platform. It
specializes in selling phone devices and internet accessories that can be
delivered to your door in three hours or less. Alternatively, you can select
your products at a specific point. Masoko is well-known for their long-lasting and
durable products. Their only disadvantage is that their products are costly. To
save even more, take advantage of their occasional promotions or visit their 'SUPER
DEALS' page.
