I didn’t receive my product, how to get a refund on Jumia?

When an order is placed online with an e-commerce business, the customers can either pay via cash on delivery or by credit card. If you purchase your Jumia order by cash on delivery and you did not receive your Jumia parcel there is no matter of refund, but when the payment is made via credit card and the item gets undelivered, you can open a dispute on Jumia and ask for refund. Most of the buyers in Kenya chose to pay in cash that has ultimately enhanced the problem of completion of delivery.

If your item remains undelivered and you’ve already paid for it, you as a customer can take a look for the delivery status as the time of delivery does not include the public holidays and vacation. If no status is found or for more than 15 days with no updates, it is high time to get in touch with the customer representatives.
