6 Reasons Why you Should Shop with Dombelo this Black Friday Festival 2020

Shopping Online for a long time was a niche service available only to a few people in Uganda, Kenya, and the rest of Africa. However, over the last couple of years online stores like Dombelo have introduced a few innovations to open online shopping to just about anyone. There are no limitations anymore to shopping online in Uganda. You do not need an address, you do not need a bank account or a debit card, you can even receive your order same day. In fact, it is even possible for an agent to place the order on your behalf, you just have to receive and pay for your order. All these innovative solutions and more have been introduced by Dombelo to make online shopping available to everyone. I will share a few of them here.

Having shopped on Dombelo over the last couple of years and also taking a closer look at the business, I have identified 6 ways Dombelo has made shopping online possible for everyone in Uganda. If you think you are too small or unequipped to shop online, go through this list and you will be surprised that literarily anyone can shop online at Dombelo today.

1. Checks Products for Quality

Are you concerned about the quality of goods available at online stores? This is a common issue that has deterred many from trying out online shopping. However, Dombelo already has a solution in the Dombelo Express. Dombelo Express is a value-added service where Dombelo physically inspects and warehouses goods from its third-party merchants before listing them.

Items that pass through the Dombelo Express certification procedure are labelled with a Dombelo Express badge. Before an item gets a Dombelo Express badge, the merchant must physically send it to Dombelo for inspection. During the physical inspection, the products are checked for quality and authenticity and are listed with the badge only if they pass.

This ensures that as long as you stick with items labelled Dombelo Express at the store, you will greatly reduce your chances of buying fake and substandard products.

2. Cost Effective Shipping

One secret of getting your orders delivered cheaply at Dombelo or any online marketplace is to order all your items from the same merchant. This ensures you benefit from consolidated shipping. However, this is not usually practical as it is very rare for one merchant to have all the items you need. This means in most cases you will have to order from multiple merchants and paying different delivery costs on items ordered from each merchant, leading to higher shipping cost.

However, with Dombelo Express, you can order from different merchants and since all Dombelo Express items are already at Dombelo’s warehouse, you can also enjoy the cost savings that comes with consolidated shipping. For an idea of shipping fees from Dombelo , Click Here.

3. Free Shipping in Kampala

The deal even gets sweeter if you live in Lagos. Dombelo is offering free shipping in Uganda for Dombelo Express products. To qualify however, you must order items worth 500,000 ugx or more.

Dombelo says this offer excludes heavy items, which probably means you will be able to order mobile phones as well as most fashion and beauty products and have them delivered free to your address in Kampala

4. Faster Shipping Time

This is yet another by-product of Dombelo Express. Because Dombelo physically stores Dombelo Express items in its warehouse, shipping is faster, which is an added bonus. From my experience of shopping at the store, I have noticed that Dombelo is a lot better and faster at handling orders when compared to its merchants.

By taking over handling and shipping from its Dombelo Express merchants, the online store is poised to create a better customer experience for shoppers.

In fact, Dombelo is so confident about its ability to ship fast that it is promising next day shipping for orders from Kampala, 2 days delivery time for items ordered from Upcountry. Occasionally, it is possible to get your order same day in Kampala if you order before 11am. For D0mbelo Shipping and Delivery times, Click Here.

5. No Need for Debit Card or Bank Account, Just Pay on Delivery

Dombelo introduced cash on delivery to make online shopping all inclusive. All a customer needs to do is select the items they wish to buy, enter their address or pickup point and the online store will deliver. The customer only pays when the order is delivered.

However, payment on delivery is not just about solving the problem of the unbanked or underbanked, it is also about building trust with customers. Shopping online is new; hence most people in Uganda are still skeptical about it. Some customers do not trust the merchant to deliver their order if they pay first. So, cash on delivery is a way to get people through the door.

So, if you do not have a debit card and think online shopping is not for you or you are just a skeptic who do not believe it is possible, just try Dombelo today. Place your order, Dombelo will deliver and you pay on delivery.

6. Door to Door Delivery

Though, Dombelo has a solution for people without a valid or logical address, but what if you have an address and prefer your orders delivered to your doorsteps? Dombelo also has you covered. Dombelo will deliver to your home if you have an address and prefer the convenience. That said, it is important to note that door to door delivery on the average costs up to 50% more compared to picking up your order at a pickup station.

So, if you value your convenience more, you can pay the premium to receive your order at home. However, if you are more cost sensitive, you can always visit your selected pickup station for your order.
