Q.E.beauty:

My friend chrisvicmall is one of d expensive sites to import goods. But can try alibaba for small and for trial.

However, I am refering to importation as a business man or woman, I know much about china major cities and what you can buy and ship direct to lagos or Kano.

@Gamboh55, most of sellers can ship ur small orders with china post for free although it takes much time. Also for bigger cargo u can use choice intl forwarding co which have aa registered agent in Lagos (10 to 12days).

It wll be a suicide to pay any alibaba seller with TT. Any seller that request payment with TT don't transact with him.

The most secured means of payment is debit or credit card through escrow. It gives alibaba opportunity to keep the money till you received ur goods in good condition. Brfore they release funds to the seller/supplier.

Op. When shopping with aliexpress, free shipped goods land in my town. (uyo). It seems this is not the case with alibaba as they often ask me my preferred port. There's no port around me and I can't go to Lagos for my items. So I'd like to know how alibaba's free shipping option work.


To be precise, I want my items shipped to uyo with minimal cost of transportation.

Alibaba and aliexpress are sisters, and u can search for free shipping goods. It will be cheaper but will much longer to deliver to your address.

I understand they're sisters. I'm just asking to know if the delivery process of both are the same. They keep asking me of my preferred port. (which implies I'm not gonna get the goods in my town). I'm not in Lagos. Free shipping with aliexpress takes Max of one month. I don't mind at all as long as they deliver to my place.

FOB price means free shipping price right?

FOB. Free onboard price. The port of shipping is for goods means for sea shipping not for air cargo. Whether alibaba or aliexpress they can ship to ur city as per ur shipping address at there record.

My friend don't mind those people that said they know major cities in China. It is pure lie. China is a developed country and been major manufacturer to major European countries and America because of her cheap Labours.
China can give whatever you want base on the quality you requested.
Dubai is a big market place. Their products is first class based on their product quality control measure. Any substandard product can not be accepted in dubai talkless of marketing it in their country.
What I can assure you is that if you large quantity of items go to China because the cost will be Less while in dubai any quantity you want with uniform price.
China uses best means of measurement of goods called CBM while dubai uses container line as a means of measurement.

@iykedenis, let me start by saying that majority of goods u will buy from Dubai were produce in china but with high quality.

In china u can buy from wholesalers or go to the manufacturers directly and place ur order according to ur requirements.

As for the livings expenses, I don't know about dubai but in china, u can lodge in a 3 star hotel, take a public buses or subway and eat. From cheap restaurants for a total cost btw N5 to N7k/day.

As for the shipping cost, assume a 40ft HQ container for non- contraband goods, shipping cost is around 4300 to 4700usd (guangzhou to lagos). However for cost of clearing it depence on the HS codes of the goods u are importing.

Lastly, I live in Nigeria. Good luck

@purplecircle, you can get good quality goods in guangzhou. So if you are using alibaba to get sellers, on the search bar search for suppliers in guangzhou in stead of goods. Gud luck
