  1. I live at agbara badagry axis. My question is can they deliver my item down there cos I want to order for about four bulky items cos last time I bought my phones, power bank and Bluetooth ear piece, the customer relation officer that spoke to me said they don’t cover that area hence I had to pick them up at my mum’s residence at orile.

  2. Does some of the products that don’t carry the ‘Jumia Express’ tag or the ‘Jumia Global’ tag have shipping fees
