The Complete Guide to Delivery Companies In Uganda for 2022

Whereas some delivery companies have remained industry leaders for decades, recently emerging startups are showing robust competition.

When it comes to sending and receiving parcels, using the top courier services in Uganda seems to be a demand for many. 

Delivery companies are among the lucky businesses that have seen substantial growth due to the pandemic. For many restaurants, cooperation with food delivery services has become the only way to make the ends meet during temporary lockdowns that have become the new norm throughout the last year.

A few years ago, Uganda  had only a few properly functioning online delivery apps/services. This was normal given the fact that everyone pretty much had a "boda guy" that runs their errands, so those apps weren't really useful.

In 2020 and mostly due to the Covid-19 pandemic that hindered the efficiency of Boda services, food delivery apps/services have suddenly blown up out of nowhere.

Bus companies

Almost all the bus companies in Uganda offer a complementary delivery service. Items are posted at the bus station and it will be transported and to the destination region where it is kept at their offices. The receiver is then required to come and pick up his/her items with some form of identification.

Like we all know, sending a parcel and having it delivered at the right time means much to the sender just like it does to the receiver.

Tips to consider while choosing a delivery company.

While they all have delivery services, the fact is that not all of them are the best. Certain considerations can help you identify which company to use.
