  1. Order Confirmation: You’ll receive an email/SMS with your order number, delivery slot, and a link to track your order.​
  1. Pre-Delivery Alert: 45–60 minutes before your scheduled window, we’ll send a text/WhatsApp message with your delivery rider’s name, phone number, and estimated arrival time.​
  1. Contact-Free or In-Person Delivery:​
  • Opt for “contact-free delivery” at checkout—we’ll leave your groceries at your gate/doorstep and send a photo confirmation.​

  1. Post-Delivery Check: After delivery, we’ll send a short WhatsApp survey to confirm your order arrived fresh and intact.​

5. Packaging & Quality Assurance (Adapted for Nigeria)​

We use packaging designed to protect your groceries from Nigeria’s weather (heat, occasional rain) and ensure freshness:​

  • Refrigerated/Frozen Items: Packed in thick, insulated coolers with reusable ice packs to keep meats, dairy, and frozen foods (e.g., ice cream, frozen fries) cold for up to 4 hours.​
  • Fresh Produce: Yams, potatoes, and vegetables are wrapped in breathable paper bags to prevent spoilage; ripe fruits (bananas, mangoes) are placed in padded containers to avoid bruising.​
  • Staples & Dry Goods: Rice, beans, and garri are sealed in moisture-proof plastic bags to protect against humidity.​
  • Eco-Friendly Choice: We use recyclable paper bags for non-perishable items—you can return clean, unused bags with your next order to get a 200 NGN discount!​

6. Missing, Damaged, or Incorrect Items​

7. Special Instructions & Local Adaptations​

  • Landmarks for Navigation: If your address is hard to find (e.g., unnumbered streets in estates), add landmarks (e.g., “Opposite X Church, Y Estate”) in the “Delivery Notes” field—our riders know local areas well and use these to locate you faster.​
  • Bulky Items: For large orders (e.g., 50kg rice, 20L cooking oil) or bulky items (e.g., water dispensers), we offer “curbside drop-off” or “entryway placement” at no extra cost—just mention it in your notes.​
  • Power Outage Prep: If you’re expecting a power outage, request “extra ice packs” in your delivery notes—we’ll add them for free to keep refrigerated items cold longer.​

8. Payment Options​

We accept popular Nigerian payment methods for convenience:​

  • Mobile Wallets: Flutterwave, Paystack, Opay, Palmpay​
  • Bank Transfers: GTBank, Access Bank, Zenith Bank, First Bank​
