Your juice isn’t yet in the shops, where can one get a pack other than from the Kaymu shopping online website?
The juice is coming your way through automated machines , where you put UgShs2000 and pick a tabular that is filled 300ml of juice and you walk away happily.

How it is to get to people is so convenient, also its organic no additives.

We go the hard way, the better way, like apple we make the juice people can not afford to criticise.
How does a student get him or herself a markitah?
Automated machines from China are on their way. Ham Shopping Mall stall is opening. But for now order on Kaymu and get it delivered to you anytime any day.
How long does it take to get my pack I ordered?
If you order through Kaymu, then it depends on their terms and conditions of delivery they give you a call and let you know.
Do you cater for customers living far outside Kampala?
For now no, But in the future 6 months yes we shall, we are getting bigger by the day.
How do you deal with irregularities i.e. a person orders for a juice pack and fails to pay?
It’s business, we move on and hope to God no such things again.
