Frequently Asked Questions
ORDERS AND RETURNS
Is it safe to receive a package during Covid-19 Pandemic?
For guidance on Coronavirus, please refer to the World Health Organization website here >> https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses. The WHO states on this page, in response to the question whether it is safe to receive packages from (even) an area where Covid-19 has been reported, that "Yes. The likelihood of an infected person contaminating commercial goods is low and the risk of catching the virus that causes COVID-19 from a package that has been moved, travelled, and exposed to different conditions and temperature is also low." Kasuwa Store will continue to update this information but customers must check the main WHO page for updated information and make informed choices.
How can contact with the riders be minimised when my order is delivered?
First of all, we have stopped 'Cash on delivery' for all destinations. So only online payments such as Momo are allowed during this covid crisis, to reduce exposure to cash, for both customer and rider. Also we encourage ‘Contactless’ exchange of packages as much as possible. Riders have been educated to place packages at the doorsteps of customers, stepping back and indicating for customers to pick up. Again, let's reiterate that we encourage customers to pay online. Bear with us as we navigate this new world together.
