Jumia Black Friday sales began at midnight 12am today and several people have been lucky to make ‘awoof’ discount purchases while several others have not been able to get a single deal out of the Black Friday event.
Nigerians took to Twitter and other social media channels to vent about the Black Friday deals saying that the deals were a total fraud and products became ‘Out Of Stock’ within few minutes. I also experienced a similar scenario where a T-shirt was yanked off my cart at the point of check out….Ooossshhh!! after staying the night till 2am.
Amidst all of these outcry by Nigerians, Jumia has released a list of clarification to inform and guide intending shoppers. See below:
