We saw an enthusiastic response to our drop of shipment fee from Kshs 200 to Kshs 70 over the past one month and we are hoping our customers will see even more value with this new Free Shipping offer.”

According to the firm, buyers will also benefit from low prices, fast delivery (typically within 2-4 days) and a safe and easy “Pay on local pickup” payment system. Kilimall, a Kaymu competitor has quickly become popular despite the fact that Kaymu is an AIG firm run by multinational investors and telco’s MTN and Millicom and probably heavily funded than Kilimall which is also planning African expansion.
