the startups embracing on-demand deliveries

 

Since the likes of Jumia, Konga, and other e-commerce giants started operations in Nigeria around 2013, last-mile deliveries have been a major challenge in Nigeria. This problem has led to the spring usatimes.cc ing up of several delivery startups the bulk of which operate from Lagos, Nigeria.

 

The “I-Want-It-Now” mindset of so ma news ny Nigerians consumers has made it necessary for logistics companies/startups to step up their game and offer their customers the ability to get th ir deliveries done on demand.

One of the startups embracing on-demand deliveries in Nigeria is Metro Africa Xpress (MAX).

MAX initially launched its delivery service (MAXNow) in 2015 as a scheduled delivery service where customers could schedule their deliveries and get it delivered anywhere in Lagos within 3 hours.

As a result, people will no longer be able to schedule their deliveries via the MAX Now option on the MAX Okada app or MAX web platform.”

3.   For multiple deliveries, book a MAX Okada for the day at  8000
