Online businesses are the innovation of the decade. They’re easy to start, fun to manage and they bring in a huge clientele. Now here’s the problem: a good number of online vendors in Cameroon don’t deliver the quality they advertise and an even greater number don’t deliver at all.
If you’re a fashion lover and you’ve ever ordered anything online in this country, then like me you understand the anxiety that comes with making a payment and having to pray for what you ordered to be exactly what you receive. Not to mention having to deal with the possibility of getting scammed. Imagine invoking heavenly intervention and still receiving a fake version of the outfit or pair of shoes you ordered, or worse—not receiving anything. These people will not kill us, amen.
I think majority of us can agree that making purchases online in Cameroon can be a stressful and dramatic process. So please, save yourself the exhaustion and just buy from already established clothing stores. And if you must buy online, buy from businesses you know. And when I say know I mean you know the business owner’s full name, place of residence and family members, to avoid stories that touch the heart. Stay away from strange WhatsApp group chats and Instagram pages. Good branding is not always indicative of a good business.
That said, if by any chance you’re looking for a reliable clothing store that can actually give you the quality items you need, CRiBs Clothing Store is the way to go. Unlike most of the businesses we just described, their store has a physical location where you can go to shop in person and pick your items up if you ordered online. Send your money to a vendor who won’t leave you with trust issues. Thank me after making your first purchase!
