BizBooks: OH!! now the excuse is Nigeria is a developing country? ROFLMAO!! Nevermind that in the 80's this same 'developing country' did not have many of the headaches it now has. Your silly excuse is that today is a developing country. What was Nigeria in the 1980's when a lot of these same services worked fine and things made sense? A non-developing country? Like I said, if you do not know what you are talking about, it is OK to stop typing. 1 Like |

BizBooks: @Kobojunkie, Yes,blame me for responding directly to the irrational comments you have made thus far on this issue. |

dasparrow: @Post I believed your tale until I got to the bolded. Why mail Money Orders when you can just do a wire transfer or Western Union/Moneygram. Ok, say they decided to mail you money orders (which is your prerogative by the way) how is it "money down the drain" if it comes up missing? Don't you have the receipt? You can always file a claim even if has been cashed by an unauthorized person and you'll get your money refunded to you and the person that cashed it has some explaining to do. Just saying. . . . 1 Like |

BizBooks: Nigeria is yet to shake off her bad reputation when it comes to fraud in commerce. Many Will you ship to 'Peckham'? |
Re: Online Sellers Refuse Shipping To Nigeria (Pic) by BizBooks(m): 7:11pm On Aug 01, 2012 |
kingoflag: Unless you are in a big hurry, sending money via Money Order is actually better and much cheaper. If I'm not mistaken the US Post Office charges a commission of 90 Cents regardless of the amount of the Money Order. Compare that with Western Union which charges according to the amount being sent. |
Re: Online Sellers Refuse Shipping To Nigeria (Pic) by BizBooks(m): 7:15pm On Aug 01, 2012 |
Kobojunkie: Irrational comments? How about answering a simple, direct question. You said you shipped 10 items to Nigeria and 5 went missing. If you don't mind, 1. What shipping method did you use. 2. Which part of Nigeria were the items shipped to. If you are not ready to answer, we might as well assume you are making this all up. |

BizBooks:[quote author=BizBooks] What are you talking about and how does this relate to the statement I made? Emphasis is on the statement "Money down the drain", which I posit is untrue if (and even if you don't) have the receipt for said M.O |
Re: Online Sellers Refuse Shipping To Nigeria (Pic) by BizBooks(m): 8:10pm On Aug 01, 2012 |
kingoflag: Were you not the person that said: Why mail Money Orders when you can just do a wire transfer or Western Union/Moneygram. So as I said, unless you are in big hurry, you are better off using Money Order. Western Union is very expensive. |

One thing to remember is this: If you are shipping a package to Nigeria, make sure you include the recipient's phone number. I find this very useful since it appears some Nigerian Post Offices prefer calling the recipients to come and pick up their packages instead of delivering to their addresses. 1 Like |

Those who are crying know very well the situation in your country. Stop trying to act like you live in a sane country with even basic human dignity. You KNOW very well why no one is going to dare ship anything to you, and I DO NOT blame them. If I ever launch a business that involves shipping things physically, I highly doubt I'd add Nigeria to the list too to be perfectly frank. 1 Like |

These people are not posting pictures saying NO I WILL NOT SHIP TO NIGERIA BECAUSE IT IS A DEVELOPING COUNTRY, They are not posting pictures saying NO I WILL NOT SHIP TO ZAMFARA, ONLY LAGOS. They are not posting NO I WILL NOT SHIP TO NIGERIA WITH DHL, FEDEX ONLY US MAIL. They are not saying NO I WILL NOT SHIP TO NIGERIA IF GOODS ARE LESS THAT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Finally the these people aren't saying NO I WILL NOT SHIP TO NIGERIA BECAUSE KOBO THINKS BADLY OF NIGERIA They are saying NO,I WILL NOT SHIP TO NIGERIA. Period!! Shouldn't that be what we should be focusing on instead of making silly excuses and accusing someone of never having anyhing good to say?? I tell ya, sometimes it is not hard to figure out why our country is the way it is. 2 Likes |

I am sure if you wire the funds to the seller and talk to them over the phone they will send your parcels. You need to understand that the sellers are protecting themselves from fraudsters who buy things with people's credit cards and fake money orders. Call your seller, create friendship, send someone to go inspect your goods before shipment and pay via wire transfer from your Nigeria bank account. Just my 2 cents. |

BizBooks: I forgot to add something else and that is: If you ship a package to Nigeria, and the this is not true at all.ship it back to you ko abi ni.the least they can do for you if you are lucky is to call the receiver to come and carry it becos of what they will gain and if they didn't get the receiver,they will swallow it and consider the package yahoo and lost or rather misrouted to Niger like they use to claim unless you are a staff of ems.if you talkiing about nipost,i can still believe some how but if is ems forget,they have totally changed.nipost is better than ems now. |

Kobojunkie: And how does this concern me? If i want something shipped over here there are a lot of EAGER wholesalers and businesses that would just that and i am sure to receive it. |
Re: Online Sellers Refuse Shipping To Nigeria (Pic) by Kobojunkie: 8:47pm On Aug 01, 2012 |
Sisi_Kill: You are asking too much of these minds. I essentially had to pack up on the business idea I had and have since been scoping out other ways to do the same without having to charge clients astronomical prices for shipping via FEDEX, DHL or all other private services out there. The problem is definitely from the Nigerian end and needs to be confronted. All this deflecting these things dey do for here no dey help them at the end of the day. Nigeria has a bad name, just simply because of Yahoo Yahoo but because the system is not working right and these companies know it for a fact. |

Please guys, am sorry for posting this here but I am getting conflicting opinions about this. I recently bought some clothes online for me and my younger brother, and am being told that the clothes might be confiscated at the post office when I go to retrieve them because the Importation of clothes to the country is illegal. Pls, to those of you that Import clothes, how true is this? Would I be harassed at the Post office? Awaiting your answers. |

Kobojunkie:I really need to correct something here. If you want to send goods to nigeria or anywhere, its nice you get it registered at the post office before sending it. Registering it will help them return it to you in case of no delivery and delivery to the right person. I probably guess that you parcel lost because you never registered it but just did ordinary sending. When i was in nigeria, i have received different packages of laptop, medicines, books and cd plates at different times from nigerian post office send to me from america. Our post office has really improved from 2002 upwards. So when you send or shipp packages containing goods, please don't forget to register it. With registration, the office where its stolen or lost will be identified and held responsible because each department or office must acknowledge the recipient of package bearing registration no.... That is how it goes |

i have shipped thousands of packages from the usa nothing ever got lost,even they get lost is from the other end especially if its routed thru chicago to lagos, the best is if it got dispatched from jfk new york there is 99.9 chance it will arrive perfectly and the average time now is 6 to 7 days.One of my package i noticed it exited thru florida i knew some thing was wrong cos its either newyork or chicago for lagos packages,the next 2 days i traced the package to Nicaragua they had to correct it if not they will say nigerians stole the package,and a baby bed from amazon there from usps they sent it to pakistan had to fight for it as well and it rerouted.The person who said out of 10 packages 5 got lost is just a terrible liar 2 Likes |
