Jumbo — A Top Online & Offline Electronics Shop in The UAE

Dubai and the UAE boast a good number of shops across different categories. These include brick and mortar, online, broad or general, specific, regular and luxury retail outlets. These shops either offer very good or state-of-the-art shopping experience. They, plus Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF), have unarguably given especially Dubai the status of an international shopping destination. We have written about a lot of them — say Dubai Mall, some top Dubai’s online shops, and DSF. In this article, the spotlight is specifically on a UAE electronics brick and mortar-cum-online shop, namely Jumbo.

At the outset, it was only a brick and mortar retailing enterprise. Today, it is now a fully-fledged corporate, an electronic shop and boasts omnichannel retail experience which allows of seamless shopping. Thus, its existence has heralded a revolution in the UAE, transforming it’s consumer electronics landscape.

Jumbo might be said to be state-of-the-art or top-notch. Through its “Click n Collect”, you can order a product online to pick it at any Jumbo shop anywhere in the UAE. You will receive an email/SMS notification when your order is ready for pickup at your chosen location. It’s a great way to bypasss the queue. When you order a product to be delivered to you, they have the technology to track the progress of the delivery of your product. To do this, sign in to your account with them.

Jumbo boasts merchandise across the categories of mobiles, computers and tablets, cameras, gaming, headphones and speakers, personal grooming, accessories, appliances and big boys’ toys. In this way, whether you’re seeking the latest smartphones, very good laptops, even those very good for gaming, smart TVs, digital cameras, smart watches such as Samsung R810 Galaxy Watch, Fitbit Versa fitness watch, homeware including kitchenware, or latest gaming devices, Jumbo has them to offer.

It offers after-sales service through Jumbo Serve (a very large service center in the UAE) and installation support as well as smart home services through its Jumbo Unwired Crew. They also offer other value added services such as Jumbo Salama and Jumbo Exchange. You’d find these two interest.
