Why use online shopping in Kenya

Why use Dukalako online shopping platform

Just like any other country in the world, Kenya is alive to the fact that no country can develop without embracing technology. Days when shopping involved walking into a store (miles always from home) to buy products are long gone. Now, this does not mean that conventional shopping is dead, only that there are options and alternatives unlike in the past when physical shopping was the only means to having products.

Today especially in advanced Countries, online shopping is the big. Billions of dollars are spent on online stores annually. Fortunately, Kenya has not been left behind when it comes to that as Dukalako among others have provided online shopping platforms. Dukalako has virtually all you would look for in a conventional store.

Kenya has what it takes to serve her online citizens. Kenyans however have been somewhat behind the major global players. This is partly due to a lack of proper infrastructure, delivery logistics and a national lack of trust in the safety of purchasing goods online.
This however is changing as our country’s Internet gets cheaper and faster and also with available of safe online shopping platforms like Dukalako, there are now increasing numbers of Kenyans sitting in front of their computer screens and spending money online.

How do u resolve issues such as refunds damaged goods or fake products? Waranties and such.

we generally go by the shop’s return policy, plus we insure all products sold on the site.

Sellers get rated and therefore it is in their best interest to provide the best service/product possible. We can also ban users that try to fraudulently transact or to provide substandard services, this is not a new concept as it has worked in other places i.e Ebay and alibaba.

A tough market to get into
