Jumia launches 1-hour delivery of alcoholic beverages

Online retail shop, Jumia, has launched Jumia Party, a new category on Jumia Food website/app which allows customers to order their favourite alcoholic beverages and get them delivered within one hour.

The service, which offers free delivery on orders above N10,000, is currently available only in Lekki, Ikoyi and Victoria Island.

The Managing Director of Jumia Food Nigeria, Olamide Bada who made the disclosure in Lagos recently Jumia Food has formed a partnership with Pernod Ricard to retail all its product lines such as Absolut Vodka, Martell Blue Swift, Jameson, Chivas Regal, The Glenlivet, Seagram etc while describing the new offering as a faster, cheaper and easier channel of buying alcoholic beverages and getting them delivered in good time.

“We are absolutely excited about our partnership with Pernod Ricard. This provides us an opportunity to cater to our customers’ needs, especially those who wouldn’t have the time to buy directly from offline retail shops.

Jumia Party is a faster and cheaper alternative for them to order and get their favourite drinks delivered in no time. This partnership has been successfully operational in other African countries, such as Kenya; there’s no doubt that the Nigerian market will be excited about this new category on Jumia.
