Now I know why people think we Nigerians are shady.. Linda talked about the success of jumia's black Friday like she wasn't paid to do so SMH ... Its one of the biggest corporate scam I have witnessed lately and I think such unfortunate scams should not be repeated again...
as a website its a total failure, cheap, and lacks credibility, it failed woefully to handle the traffic generated by their offers, they claimed they were surprised at the traffic that it overwhelmed them.. . JUMIA... You know Nigerians like cheap quality things with all due respect..to my people. You should have been prepared for the traffic running into millions of hits per minute...
Secondly your so called mega offers, most especially the S5 Samsung and PS4 which I tried to purchase is a scam and your reputation to make good offers well by my standard has diminished greatly because jumia is not credible....
The S5 samsung saga, immediately the offer came out it was sold out already, I have almost 100 internet users in my officeoffice area and most people were excited to purchase the phone so our hands never left F5 button, we have an internet with 12mb consistent download speed that is super fast and reliable immediately the first offer came in on the site for the phone it was already sold out everyone was checking, internet is not post office that takes 2 days to get to its destination... The website kept crying as it couldnt cope with the traffic from potential buyers...
When the sold out marking finally went off if you click on buy now nothing will happen or it will tell you the website didn't expect this much people and its being updated for new deals .... All day I tried but to no avail well its all good at least I manage to get a 43 inch Samsung TV which also had a good deal on it although its not the mega deal I was hoping to get.
Conspiracy theorem
I think jumia possibility registered bogus accounts to purchase if not all then most of the S5 samsung phones and ps4 so they can sell it later for the sites price or slightly lower, don't forget Samsung rep gave them the phones as part of their black Friday bonus/bonanza and they will show evidence of people booking for the phone to the Samsung rep.
JUMIA just LOST it credibility.
