HAHAHAHAHAH! HONESTLY, I FEEL YOUR PAIN! THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WENT THROUGH IN MY FIRST IMPORTATION. AND I VOWED NEVER TO USE THEM AGAIN.
THIS PEOPLE SUCKS!!!!!!
PLEASE, NEXT TIME USE ST. PATRICK. THEY HAVE MORE FRIENDLY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SWIFT RESPONSE TO MESSAGES.
I TRANSACTED WITH THEM LAST THREE WEEKS AND IT TOOK JUST 10 DAYS FOR MY GOODS TO GET TO ONITSHA. AND TODAY, MY SELLER ALSO SENT SOME PACKAGES TO THEM TO BE SHIPPED TOMMORROW AND ARRIVE NEXT WEEK.

Pls did you tell them to ship directly to Onitsha from China?! Or how did you do it?

delesule:

Friend in order to get Goods waybill to your location use local logistic service.Most of these agent are always busy and your goods will be delayed.
They will help you pick your Goods from shipping company and sent to your location through transport.
There many of them on nairaland.
I used to operate one but stop.

Pls, which one can you recommend?

dicksonxtreme:


They mostly use Lagos....when it get to Lagos you can use normal transport system to bring it to your location

How can I "use" normal transport to bring it to my location when am not even in Lagos? How do I get someone to arrange the transportation to my location ?

chudy144:


It will not be difficult at all
There are shipping coy that is ready to pick up and delivere to you in Oyo state .

Which one can I use? Which one do you recommend?

ohans4u:
chudy.....Nice job u ar doing here. Lecturing the new bies on how to create extra job and add more income to their pockets since our new change govt can't change the situation. .... I have got a female Chinese seller on aliexpress who always outsource for me items she those not have from different factory at a low price and her means of payment is aliexpress i.e escrow. So our money is safe and secure. The pioneers of DIY have lectured us many a time about escrow. If you are confused pls start reading from page1.

Can you link me up wit your female Chinese seller? Don't worry, I promise not to toast her....it is strictly for business.

check my signature for my pin

skylane:
check www.tinydeals.com or www.focalprice.com, they are chinese too with sweet products

have you tried the sites before?

MrJohnAgbo:

There is no point dropping your pin here when people will add you and send you a message and you will just read and ignore someone as if they are useless. Stop that that selfish attitude

Why not call him up if he is too busy to respond to chats or he has responded to so many. Cox it makes me wonder why Nigerians will want to discuss serious problems with me and they send Hi, nothing else rather than introduction and getting straight to business

Chat with your seller to make sure he/she understands everything you wanted. Tell her before time that u want your items shipped to your forwarder in china before making payment. send her the address in English n china..

CaptPlanet:


Easiest is to keep talking about it everywhere (school, church, office etc) show ur friends on bbm, whatsapp etc.
Use youri items as ur dp etc....

hi pls I will like to know d 1st item u imported and which logistics coy u used? Thanks

yugeekay:

My very first was android tablets and as a novice I used DHL for shipping. It was very prompt but expensive considering what other companies charge now. I sold my items with little profit because of what DHL charged me, I think it was around $100 to ship them.


I don't want to deter you but there are other cheaper companies out there. ChrisVic, St. Patrick and the likes....Goodluck

How market?

There is no danger in using naija paypal, its jus dat u wudnt b able to receive paypal funds into a naija acct dats all

I have an account with naija paypal. Does that mean one can not get refund payment on this account in such a case the goods are not good and i want to return it?thanks

Royal155:

To tell you the truth, I've not orderd through alibaba or Aliexpress checkout page. I just sent out a buying request to manufacturers, including my wechat, whatsapp and email address. Then, they either add me or reply my request with their wechat or whatsapp I.d. Then we carry on from there.
I pay through Paypal.

But please I'm not recommending this strategy to anyone. Reason being that, this is a very risky strategy since you don't know if the seller is trusted or not. What I do is research about the company; check if they are Gold sellers and trade assurance sellers( I don't add anybody outside this criterias) and place a small sample order to test their credibility.

So, if really you want to ship through third party shippers, you have to tell the seller to remove their default shipping cost. That you have an agent in china to ship to. But please you have to pay them using Escrow- in a situation where you don't trust them.

Hope this helps

please how do you pay through escrow way method.
where can we locate the escrow way platform

chudy144:


Once your goods gets to NK
Call Judy to confirm it then ask her to ship it by Express.

sir,
how will you know the time and moment your goods has reached the hands of your local shipping agents like nonnykings so that you can tell them to use express method instead of normal

Jdesigns:

Apologies, Am not in that line of business

Tonybills:

What do you need a US PayPal acct for.

In this business all you need is tool to send money and you can do that with what you already have.

Be Tax Compliant, save money, PM or Call Me.

Answer

yuppies112:
why will my comment be the last in this thread please you guys should do justice to my question
Why my own dey always different

Firstly no one knows your strength as to determine what you can sell or not sell. Alot of variables are taken into consideration in this business of importation. I've imported laptops, phones,power banks, flash drives, fashion wears and branded shoes. I've also imported specific targeted products for my line of printing and corporate branding business as well. My answer to your question is know what sells in your environment, compare price,ROI etc and make your decisions.
