Both  Jumia Kenya and Kilimall Kenya allow cash payment on delivery in Nairobi  only. If you are outside Nairobi then you will be required to make payments online.  Prices are not negotiable.

This where we have a real difference between the two.  I have tried to compare more than 100  same products sold at Jumia and Kilimall and i have noted that Kilimall prices are slightly low.  For Instance, INFINIX Zero 3 X552- 5.5  costs KSh 16,535  at Kilimall while the same INFINIX Zero 3 (X552) costs 16,999 on Jumia. Find image illustration below. Therefore, in terms of price Kilimall wins.
