We are still far from totally swapping trips to local markets and malls with shopping online. But there’s more remote buying going on in Nigeria than ever before;
ecommerce is growing, egged on by our love of all things trendy and comfortable, as well as the necessity of spending our ever shrinking spare time smartly.
But if we’re just ordering things off digital shelves, who’s moving the items we buy from online merchants to us?
It’s this gap that
logistic companies like
Deliveryman exist to fill. These parcel transporters are the foot soldiers of Nigeria’s ecommerce boom, upon which the otherwise pointless facade of web stores stand. Deliveryman, which operates across Lagos- the biggest market for the budding online retail industry -certainly fits into this supporting mold.
Pro Swift Business, For Customers’ Comfort
Deliveryman runs a day-long pick up and drop off service, which covers Lagos’s mainland and island areas, as well as districts on the outer reaches of the state. They dispatch small and medium sized items of various kinds for online retail businesses and
social media retailers, as well as brick-and-mortar stores.
Food delivery is one of the many services offered by Deliveryman. It’s suitable for cookeries and fast food businesses looking to operate home deliveries, either as a main service or in addition to on-site purchase. Bulk mail deliveries are also available; materials such as company annual reports, concert tickets, bulk stationery, wedding invitations and similar kinds of parcels can be shipped to locations within Lagos upon request.
But Deliveryman isn’t just about transporting products for businesses. Their services are available to individuals as well, as long as the items you intend to have moved fall within Deliveryman’s haul weight limit.
How Deliveryman Works
Deliveryman takes requests via its dedicated phone line. Requesting customers also fill and submit the online delivery order form on the company’s website. When the booking is confirmed, a delivery person will be sent over to the requester to pick up their items and dispatch them to the appropriate destination.
Delivery times for packages vary with customer’s specifications and ability to pay; a regular delivery or next day dispatch can be done within two working days of the original request being acknowledged. There’s a same-day delivery option, which guarantees delivery within five hours from pick up time. An even faster choice is ‘instant delivery’, for items needed at their destination immediately.
Although Deliveryman’s office is open during the day, they can be reached 24/7 through their phone lines. You can also send your enquiries to their email address,
info@deliveryman.ng.
