How To SHOP For Essential Home Products Using SafeBoda APP

Amidst the COVID-19 lockdown in Uganda, SafeBoda introduced the Shop feature in their App. The new feature is aimed at easing the purchase of essential home products related to food items, groceries, and beverages, and having them delivered to your house or apartment. Do you know what this means?

As a person who loves trying out almost everything, I had my first order arrive today 100% free of charge. Having been an active user of SafeBoda, I didn’t face any problem making my order, which arrived from Shell Select being the choice I selected. Remember, you can also use Capterra to make money online at home so you have enough funds to survive.

As we continue to stay home due to the presential directive as one way of fighting Coronavirus, running out of those most useful home products shouldn’t be your worry. Now that you can be in a position to order everything, for example, Rice, Sugar, Water, Blueband, Vegetables, Macrons, Noddles, Bread, Flour, etc, and have them delivered to you free of charge, life shouldn’t be too hard.

If you aren’t aware of how it all works, follow these simple instructions and make your order from your SafeBoda application.

Key points to note;

Your “safeboda” account must be credited with enough funds to use the feature. Also, you must first update your application if you already have it installed on your smartphone to access the “new shop” feature. Also, your linked phone number must be active since the rider might want to call you for additional directions. For MTN subscribers, this application has always been free to use without any data bundle.
