Your stock sits in our main warehouses in the biggest cities, close to your customers. Each warehouse has its own local team for confirmation and delivery.

Plus local hubs near your customers

We also run smaller local hubs in other towns. When an order is returned in a remote area, it goes to the nearest hub instead of travelling back to the capital — and if a new order comes from nearby, we deliver it the same day from there. Faster deliveries, fewer costs, more cash for you.

Why Zambia

Why sell with COD in Zambia

Zambia is an early-stage COD market in Southern Africa: few serious online sellers, low advertising costs and customers concentrated in a handful of big cities — ideal for sellers who want to move before the competition arrives.

  • Customers trust paying when the parcel arrives, especially from a new store.
  • Facebook, Instagram and TikTok ads still cost much less than in Europe, the US or the Gulf.
  • Less competition than saturated markets — good products still sell without price wars.
  • One partner on the ground: local team, warehouses and delivery already in place.
