More builders are now ordering materials online instead of visiting quarries or hardware shops. But before you click “order,” here’s what you should know to avoid delays or poor quality.
Pay safely — use Mpesa paybill or business accounts, not personal numbers.
Check supplier credibility — look for verified contacts and Google reviews.
Confirm delivery areas — ensure they deliver to your site or estate.
Request a quote — compare prices for different truck sizes (14T, 20T, etc.).
Inspect on delivery — confirm that the sand or ballast matches your order.
