Service availability

Check what is configured for your destination.

Pick the destination and, if your stock sits in another market, the origin. Answers come from the verified coverage rows — an unconfigured route says so rather than guessing.

This checker confirms what is configured. It does not book a parcel, quote a price or guarantee a service level.

Order to reconciliation

One Zambian order, end to end.

Confirmation, pick and pack, delivery, proof of delivery, COD and returns, in the order they happen.

  1. 1

    Stock arrives

    Inventory is received and counted in Lusaka. MFT's scope begins after destination-country customs clearance — MFT is not your customs broker.

  2. 2

    Order lands

    Your order file reaches MFT and is picked and packed against your SKU list.

  3. 3

    Customer confirms

    The customer is contacted on WhatsApp to confirm the order and delivery window before a rider is dispatched.

  4. 4

    Delivery attempt

    The parcel moves on a route MFT runs in Zambia. Service level follows the coverage row for that destination.

  5. 5

    Money and reconciliation

    Collected ZMW is reconciled line by line against your manifest, with the delivery outcome and reason code on the same statement.

Customs and clearance support depends on product type, route, destination market, and documentation provided.

ZMW COD, returns and exceptions

How kwacha collections and returns are controlled.

Collected and settled in Zambian kwacha, reconciled daily against your order manifest. Refusals and failed attempts are logged with a reason code.

Collection methods
cash at the door, MTN MoMo and Airtel Money
Settlement currency
Zambian kwacha (ZMW)
Reconciliation
Daily, against your order manifest
Payout
Confirmed in your Zambia service schedule
Returns
Returns can be collected nationwide; the return route and consolidation timing follow the applicable destination schedule.

PUDO collection

5 verified PUDO points in Lusaka.

PUDO is separate from door delivery. Door delivery covers all ten provinces; PUDO collection is available only at the Lusaka points.

How PUDO collection works in Zambia
Storage

Storage and operating presence.

Storage and pick-and-pack are confirmed by product, volume and approved stock location.

Coordination office

MFT Zambia office

This is an MFT office for coordination and merchant support. It is not listed as an MFT-operated warehouse — storage is confirmed per product and volume. Zambian public holidays follow the national calendar; the office also opens Sunday and closes Saturday.

Storage arrangement

Where your stock actually sits

Storage and pick-and-pack are confirmed according to product, volume and approved stock location, coordinated from Lusaka. MFT does not claim to own a warehouse in Zambia; you are told where your stock will sit before you ship anything.

Regional merchant desk

One desk for every MFT market

Merchant enquiries for Zambia are handled on +1 289 969 7309. It is MFT's regional merchant desk, not a local Zambia line — one merchant channel deliberately covers every MFT market.

FAQ

Zambia fulfillment questions

Nationwide delivery, ZMW COD, PUDO, returns and getting started.

Yes. Door delivery covers all ten provinces. Lusaka is the coordination base and daily dispatch zone (1–2 working days); Copperbelt and Central run on scheduled routes at 2–4 working days, Southern and Eastern at 3–5, and Northern, Muchinga, Luapula, North-Western and Western at 4–6. Nationwide coverage does not mean nationwide same-day delivery.

Buyers pay in Zambian kwacha (ZMW) by cash at the door, MTN MoMo or Airtel Money. COD is available on all ten provinces' routes for eligible orders, and collections are reconciled daily against your order manifest, line by line. Daily reconciliation is not a daily payout: payout cadence and deductions are set in your Zambia service schedule.

Five verified PUDO collection points are currently recorded in Lusaka. PUDO is not available outside Lusaka; buyers elsewhere receive door delivery on their province's scheduled route.

Returns can be collected nationwide. Refused or undelivered parcels are logged with a reason code and come back on the destination's scheduled return route, so consolidation timing depends on the province. They are then checked against your return rules and restocked, returned or disposed of on your instructions.

Request a Zambia fulfillment plan with your product category, expected monthly orders and destination towns. MFT confirms the delivery windows for each destination, the approved stock location for storage and pick-and-pack, and your service schedule before stock moves. Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda cross-border movements are route-based and subject to documentation review.
