How it works
One trail, from shelf to door.
Switgh is built around a single idea: you should know the cost before you commit, and know where the parcel is after you do.
- 1
Find it
Search products and verified vendors, or post a request and let vendors quote.
- 2
Check the cost
See the estimate before you commit. Final shipping is confirmed after the vendor accepts.
- 3
Track it home
Follow sourcing, international transit, arrival and local delivery on one timeline.
The estimate
The cost, in three parts.
Import costs are rarely one number. Switgh separates the item, the shipping and duty, and the local delivery — so you can see exactly what you are approving.
Every figure on a listing is an estimate until a verified vendor confirms it. If the final cost changes, you see the difference before the order proceeds.
Example estimate
Not a quote- Item price
- GHS 11,800
- Shipping and duty
- GHS 2,960
- Local delivery
- GHS 480
Est. total
GHS 15,240
Illustrative only. Your vendor confirms the final figure before you commit.
What you can count on
Trust, written down.
Switgh is a marketplace, not a secret. These are the promises we can keep from day one.
Verified vendors
Every vendor is checked before a single listing goes live.
A paper trail
Items, prices and every status change stay on the order record.
Estimates before you commit
See item, shipping and delivery ranges before you place an order.
Disputes mediated
If something goes wrong, Switgh steps in. Money stays between you and the vendor.
Questions buyers ask.
- What is a pre-order?
- A pre-order means the vendor sources the item after you approve the estimate. The listing shows the typical delivery time, and the vendor confirms it before the order is placed.
- When do I pay?
- Payment is split across stages so you are never paying for the whole journey at once. The exact stages are shown before you approve any order.
- What if something goes wrong?
- Every order keeps its paper trail. If the item is not as described, Switgh mediates the dispute using that trail, the vendor’s listing and the agreed estimate.
