You have to pick it up.
Your package isn't coming to your doorstep. It has to come through a Locoomo Pickup Station.
If there isn't a convenient Pickup Station near you, tell us where you need one, or nominate a trusted business in your area. If your route gets activated and you qualify, we'll support your approved purchase and deliver it to your Pickup Station for free.
And unlike the Christmas campaign, the Pickup Station doesn't disappear afterwards. You help us build something your neighbourhood can keep using.
This Christmas, we're building more Locoomo Pickup Stations across Lagos.
Nominate a trusted shop, pharmacy, supermarket, mini-mart or other suitable business close to you. If we're able to turn it into a Locoomo Pickup Station, you could unlock a place in our Christmas Shopping Fund.
- You get something you wanted.
- Your neighbourhood gets a Pickup Station.
- And we pay for the delivery.
Simple.
Five steps from wish to pickup
Step 1
Tell us what you want
Choose something you genuinely want to buy this December.
It can be from a vendor you already love or somewhere you've been meaning to shop.
You choose the item. You choose the vendor.
Step 2
Nominate a Pickup Station
Tell us where you'd like to collect your package.
Know a good shop near you? Nominate it by sending us its location pin. That pin is what we'll work with.
Then pop in and put in a good word for us. Go in and sell the shop on Locoomo. You don't need to negotiate or onboard anything. Just get them eager to hear from us. We take it from there.
Nominate a Pickup StationStep 3
We get it ready
If the business qualifies, Locoomo handles the onboarding. We also work with your vendor to make sure your package can enter the Locoomo network.
You don't need to organise the delivery yourself. That's our job.
Step 4
Your Pickup Station goes live
Once your nominated station is activated and you qualify for one of the available campaign slots: you're in.
You'll get your shopping reward.
Step 5
Shop. We'll move it.
Place your approved order. Your vendor prepares it. Locoomo moves it to your new Pickup Station, and your campaign delivery is free.
We'll let you know when it's ready. Then you simply go and collect it.
That's it.
You choose what you want. You help us decide where a Pickup Station should be. We handle everything in between.
Our recommendation
Drop a word at the shop for us.
Once you've picked a shop, walk in and sell it on Locoomo. Tell them a Pickup Station brings customers to their door and extra income. You don't need to negotiate or handle any onboarding. You just need the shop to be eager to hear from us. Locoomo takes it from there.
What can I nominate?
Think about the businesses you already trust around you.
- Supermarket
- Mini-mart
- Pharmacy
- Convenience store
- Beauty store
- Neighbourhood shop
- Another established business with a secure and accessible location
You nominate it. Locoomo decides whether it meets the requirements to become a Pickup Station.
What about my vendor?
Don't worry about that part. You tell us who you want to buy from. Locoomo works with the vendor to arrange how the package gets into our network.
Your vendor does not have to become a public Pickup Station. If needed, we can set up their location so only authorised Locoomo riders can collect their packages. Customers won't suddenly start showing up at their shop or home.
Simple.
Please don't buy anything until Locoomo approves your shopping slot.
Applying does not mean you've automatically been selected. If you buy before we approve you, we may not be able to pay for the purchase.
- Apply
- Nominate
- We activate
- We approve you
- Then you shop
November is for getting your Pickup Station ready.
We need time to speak with the business, check the location and set everything up properly. The earlier your station goes live, the better your chances of getting one of the available Shopping Fund slots.
November
Build the network
Applications open on November 1. Nominate, and we onboard your station.
December
Shop and deliver
Approved participants shop. Locoomo moves orders to Pickup Stations for free.
So… what are you buying this Christmas?
That dress? New hair? Skincare? Sneakers? A Christmas gift? Something that's been sitting in your saved posts since March? Tell us. Then tell us where you'd like to pick it up. We'll take it from there.
Applications open November 1.
We want it exciting. We also want it fair.
You can nominate as many genuine locations as you like. What you can't do is create fake accounts, fake vendors, fake shops, fake receipts or fake transactions to get campaign money.
- Real people.
- Real businesses.
- Real purchases.
- Real packages.
- Real Pickup Stations.
One entry per email
Each email address can apply once. Variants such as name+tag@ or dots in Gmail addresses count as the same address.
Network checks, not accusations
Households, offices and mobile networks share connections. If another entry came from yours, we review it by hand rather than rejecting you.
Private by design
Your network address is stored only as a one-way hash, used for verification and fraud prevention, and never shared.
Questions, answered
Wait… Locoomo is really paying for my shopping?
For selected participants, yes.
If you qualify for the campaign, Locoomo will contribute up to your approved amount toward an eligible purchase. There are limited slots, so applying does not automatically guarantee funding.
How do I qualify?
Start by applying and nominating a suitable Pickup Station near you. If the location is approved and activated while campaign slots are still available, you may qualify for the Shopping Fund. We'll contact you when you're approved.
How much will Locoomo give me?
Locoomo is putting ₦5 million behind this campaign across 265 shopping slots. The first 15 people get ₦50,000. The next 100 get ₦20,000. The next 150 get ₦15,000. The money goes to your vendor for your approved purchase, so be early.
Will you send the money to my bank account?
No. This isn't a cash giveaway. The money is for your approved purchase and will be sent to the vendor you have selected.
Can I choose what I want to buy?
Yes. That's the fun part. You choose the item and the vendor. The purchase just needs to meet the campaign rules and be something Locoomo can safely deliver.
Can I shop from any vendor?
You can choose your preferred legitimate vendor. The vendor must be verifiable and willing to work with Locoomo to fulfil the order.
Does my vendor have to be a Pickup Station?
No. We'll handle the sending side with your vendor. You focus on the Pickup Station where you want to collect your package.
Can I nominate more than one Pickup Station?
Absolutely. If you know several great locations, nominate them. We want people who genuinely help us build the network, and if this is something you loved, you could enter our Pickup Station Scout Programme and earn amazing rewards.
But submitting more nominations does not mean you receive multiple Christmas Shopping Fund awards.
Can two people nominate the same shop?
Yes. In fact, that tells us something useful: more people want a Pickup Station there. We'll combine those requests rather than treating them as separate shops.
Do I have to negotiate with the shop or set anything up?
No. Just drop in, tell them about Locoomo and why a Pickup Station would be good for the neighbourhood, so they're eager to hear from us. You don't negotiate and you don't onboard anything. Locoomo contacts the business and handles all of that.
How do I nominate a shop?
In the application form, type the shop's name and paste its location pin. In Google Maps, open the shop, tap Share, copy the link and paste it. If you're standing at the shop, the “use my location” button fills it in for you. Anything that isn't a real location pin is rejected. That pin is what we use to find and contact the business.
Does every shop I nominate become a Pickup Station?
No. We still need to make sure the business is suitable. We look at things like security, accessibility, operating hours, storage and reliability. If it doesn't qualify, we'll let you know.
What happens if my nominated shop says no?
No problem. You may nominate another business, or we may look for another suitable Pickup Station around the same area.
Can I just nominate a fake business so I can qualify?
No. Every Pickup Station is independently checked by Locoomo before it goes live. Fake businesses, fake purchases, duplicate accounts or other attempts to game the campaign will be disqualified.
Can I get more than one shopping reward?
No. One verified person can receive one Christmas Shopping Fund award. But you can still nominate and help us activate multiple genuine Pickup Stations. We may separately recognise people who become exceptional Locoomo Community Builders.
Is delivery really free?
Yes. The qualifying Locoomo Pickup Station delivery for your approved campaign purchase is on us.
Can you deliver it to my house instead?
Not under this campaign. The whole point is to use the Pickup Station you helped bring to your area.
How will I know when my package arrives?
We'll notify you when your package is ready at your Pickup Station. Then you go there, verify your collection and take your package.
What if I already buy the item before Locoomo approves me?
Please don't. Wait until we explicitly tell you: “You're approved. Go shopping.” Purchases made before approval may not qualify for funding.
When do applications open?
November 1. But we'll start talking about the campaign from October so you have plenty of time to understand it and get ready.
Why are you starting so early?
Because Pickup Stations need to be properly set up before Christmas packages start moving. We don't want to rush your package.
November = build the network. December = shop and deliver.
When should I apply?
As early as possible. Campaign slots are limited and activating a Pickup Station takes time. Waiting until the middle of December is a bad strategy.
I applied and was told my registration was flagged. What now?
Several people can legitimately share a home, office or mobile network, so a flag is a prompt for a human check, not an accusation. Email us from the address you applied with, tell us who else may have applied from your network, and we'll review it. Nothing you've submitted is lost while we check.
What are you buying this Christmas?
Tell us. Then tell us where you'd like to pick it up. We'll take it from there.
Applications open November 1.
