Konga has announced its launch of two new services - Same Day Delivery Service, which will allow you receive your orders the same day you place it, and Keep On Shipping Delivery Service (KOS), a service that will allow Konga ship orders for other businesses and individuals outside Konga.

“Konga is launching two game changers; Same Day Delivery and rebranding our proprietary nationwide logistics service from K-Express to KOS built to improve delivery capabilities," says Shola Adekoya, newly appointed CEO of Konga.

For now, the same day delivery service will only be valid for orders you place before 11am. If you place an order after 11am, it will get to before 12 noon the next day, provided you use the same day delivery link.

The same day delivery service will be available from Monday to Saturday. However, it is only available in Lagos for now.

Actually, it is only available in certain parts of Lagos namely Agege, Eti-Osa, Ifako-Ijaiye, Ikeja, Kosofe, Lagos-Island, Mushin, Oshodi-Isolo, Somolu, Surulere, and Lagos Mainland.

This is not the first time Konga will be offering same day deliveries. When it launched in 2012, the platform offered same day deliveries. This however became impractical as the platform grew in scale.
