The service is presently available in selected cities (Lagos and Abuja) and when a user subscribes, he/she would enjoy FREE deliveries within the period/duration of subscription. If you are a heavy shopper on the platform, then this is perfect subscription you would want to hop on. Because regardless of the nature and size of the orders you make, they will be delivered to you at no additional cost, given you have an active Jumia Prime subscription. There is, however, a maximum number of orders you can enjoy free deliveries on with your subscription — see more details in the Term and Conditions section below.
