Have a shopping list

Check date and time for treasure hunts
Jumia has this thing called treasure hunt. Where only one item is available for the hunt and it’s almost 99% off. And today guys are hunting the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 which you can have it for 5 bob when you find it. Jumia states that it’s easy to hunt on the app because the clues, time and dates are sent on the phone.
Shop with a friend
This is very fun because you will give one another tips and tricks. If there are a few must have items on your list, you can work together to find them. Your friend can visit top deals section for the TV you want while you are hunting for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
Shop early
Wake up early in the morning to check the deals since these items are on high demand.
Check the return policy
This one can be stressful. Some items on Jumia can be returned after seven days under certain conditions. But the treasure hunts cannot be returned or exchanged. In addition, get the receipts for the items you buy. It will make it easier on your recipient, should a return or exchange be needed.
