An Overview of Jumia

Online shopping has never been as popular as it is today, thanks to a wide range of different apps and money-saving websites. Though for people who are fans of the popular brands out of Africa, Jumia is an app that provides a very unique user experience that many people absolutely love.

To be clear, Jumia does only deal with the largest shopping mall in Africa, and ships items from that location. So if you're in the west and are looking for something local, then this obviously isn't the app for you. You can find service that ships products to you, but by the time you pay for the shipping, you may end up spending more than looking around locally.

That being said, if you are closer to Africa, you can save a whole lot of money by shopping through Jumia. You can find deals that are running around the clock, and a lot of these deals will even ship things out to you for free, provided that you're local.

What Jumia Is and What It Does

Jumia is what is considered a smart shopping app, and it's available for the Android mobile OS. Basically, users log on to the web through this app, and they will find hot and new deals on thousands of different products, covering a large range. The idea here is that Jumia is only showing shoppers stuff that is on sale, cheaper than they can find elsewhere.

So, overall, you get access to thousands upon thousands of discounted products, some available for only pennies on the dollar compared to other outlets. What this app links you to is an overstocked warehouse that's full of products from the largest shopping mall in Africa. So these are items that people are trying to move, so they're available for prices a lot lower than standard shopping options.

Again, however, if you're far away from Africa and need products shipped across the globe, you might not be getting much of a deal. Just keep that in mind.

Features of Jumia

One of the first features you'll notice with Jumia is that it takes you directly to deal suggestions, before you even start searching. As you start using the app, the service is going to more accurately narrow down the items in which you're interested, so you'll start to get more relevant suggestions. It's a very colorful screen, though, and it's an easy app to navigate.

Another great feature is that Jumia has some great customer service. If you have questions about products, queries about shipping, or any other issue, the support team available for this app is great and will help you as best they can.

One other cool feature is that you can browse around through multiple brands as well. If you're a fan of a certain brand, you can look up items only for that brand. The good news is that even if you can't find any, Jumia is always getting new products to advertise with new deals.
