DON'T even TRY xpedited shipping, my ordeal with them presently Is a little worse dan a nightmare..their organisation/Logistics is absolutely ZERO. this is my first time with them and I honestly regret it. before I made up my mind to try them, I took the pain of adding them on bbm so I cud get information easily. on enquiry (via bbm) I was told it wud take "within a week" for me to receive my item,and that dey were shipping out the following Tuesday, bla bla bla. after much hesitation I decided to give dem a try, I had my frnd drop a small package wt dier new York office on sat 6/4/2013. fast foward a few days, I ping on Wednesday to find out if the package left the U.S. as promised, dude ignores me. next day I send anoda mssg politely asking again and telling him hw important it is that I knw the state of affairs. my mssg ws read and ignored again. I help ppl buy stuff frm the U.S. through my frnd and its important that I can give a reasonable reply whn my customer asks me questions about the delivery. I start to get rily pissed so I call their new York line twice my calls go unanswered and were nvr returned (I start to wonder if they don't pick 9ja calls or something). so I call my frnd in NY and he tells me he was given a numb for dier contact person in Nigeria, I call d dude on Saturday 13/4/13 , he asks me to call him back so he cn findout frm d clearing agent if my package hs arrived. I call him back and he starts giving me gist about nt being able to reach the agent bla bla bla and abt not haven spoken to him in a while, and asks me to call my frnd and ask him to ask dem to give him (my frnd) the agents numb...I was so mad I lashed out at him. after a few mins he sends me a numb and says I should get in touch with the agent. I call Mr agent who says he hs no package for me (after their promised one week had elapsed) I ask him whn d next shipment myt be and he say MAYBE next Friday ...dats like two weeks frm whn my package was dropped, and that one na MAYBE OOO. My frnd is a research fellow at a univ in New yrk and takes time out of his very busy schedule to help me run dese little errands so I didn't even want to bug him about it. The most annoying thing in this whole episode is still my inability to even findout the exact location of my package. how do I evn knw if the thing hs even left new York? I was so pissed whn the dude kept reading my bbm mssgs and ignoring. If late delivery ws jst the problem I wouldn't hav been upset cos dts bound to happen sometimes...customs and all dt, as long as I have a good idea whn i'll be picking up my package. but being ignored and left in the dark for a service i'm paying for dts the height their setup/collection arrangement is so messedup... imagine the contact person asking me to call my frnd in the U.S. and get the numb of the agent. infact the guy sounded like he was jst helping the comp out as a favour. if ure looking for efficiency..FORGET XPEDITED SHIPPING, dey're nothing close to professional

@ bizzle, thanks for this contribution, it would have both me and others trying to use them think twice. From my research, it seems peoples experiences shipping from U.S to Nigeria has never been smooth sailing. I just pray I find a reliable shipping company that wil deliver my items on time at a cost effective rate because I don't want to use EMS again. Please keep us updated with the development |

Re: Cheapest Way To Ship Goods From USA To Nigeria? by bizzle2: 1:28pm On Apr 14, 2013 |
lol, there are quite a numb of consistent and experienced shippers u jst gotta take ur time and do enough research if u have the luxury of time. I hear PSI is ok, allword is prob my favourite the only prob I have with them is probaly their location...long Island is quite far frm my New York contct. some of these shippers don't knw the importance of effective communication, keeping ur customers in the loop at all times not only puts u in a good light but also keeps ur customers' mind at rest, even when theres a delay they understand wts going on and they're aware their package is safe. all the best anochuks08: I haven't shipped already with your company and your middle man, Mr. John don dey Bleep up.

TELEPHONE CALLS - from the carriers perspective: Telephone conversations between a transportation provider in the USA and someone from Nigeria are usually a waste of time due to the difficulty of understanding accented English over the telephone. Even when callers are native English speakers I do not want to take address, shipment information or an email over the telephone. I want it coming in by email or online form so that we have the data exactly as specified by the customer and it can be later reference. Emails also allow us to respond in detail with link to relevant information on our site and to cc: others in our company who need to be aware of the communication to the inquirer/customer. On a weekly basis, we receive shipments from private individuals and company with no email or phone number on the shipping label that is in our email or database that we can search for, and determine what we are supposed to do with that particular parcel. As a licensed Air Carrier, the Transportation & Safety Administration requires that the party and address from which cargo is shipped to our facility, be "known" or in the TSA database, otherwise the cargo must go on a freighter rather than regular cargo service (aircraft that carry both passengers and cargo). Confusion on the sender and origin of the cargo and how the TSA requires us to classify the cargo can and will result in delays. Accordingly, it really helps if rather than a client having had one, distracted telephone conversation with one person in our company, we received a completed web form or email: to rate.request@a2globalshipping.com that can be found and accurately referenced by all. http://www.a2globalshipping.com/nigeria-air-consolidation http://www.a2globalshipping.com/contact-form-general http://www.a2globalshipping.com/inbound-cargo-alert |

a2shipping: TELEPHONE CALLS - from the carriers perspective:I heard the Mr. John speak, before he asked me to hold, he is a Nigerian, so, there is no problem with accent on both sides. If you can clearly remember, i already sent a mail to rate.request@a2globalshipping.com, you replied, sent me John's contact and asked me to call him for truck rates from Lagos to Enugu. |

kdships: Shipping Goods From Usa To Nigeria - Which Is The Cheapest? most suppliers are going to offer free shipping to any location in the USA, or if they are charging for shipping it will be the same or less to ship to a destination in the Midwest than to ship the same box or freight to the east coast. Major reasons for this are the lower taxes and costs of warehousing and personnel in the Midwest which is less unionized and regulated in Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, than NY, NJ and Maryland.Please let's know what you're shipping in order to know what and what solution will be fit in...you can also use this specially created platform for US to Nigeria Shipments http://www.geokaz-usa.com/inbound.php If you cann't click through, please copy and paste the link into your browser.[b][/b]Also read Procedures involved in shipping from US to Nigeria here http://www.valuehandlers.com/#!us-cargo-consolidation-to-nigeria-/c8l2 |

You guys should try www.rokobi.com. Though it is not a shipping company par se, but with their system (shopping concierge), you can buy goods from any retailers and it will be delivered to your destinations. I think they are just starting new in Nigeria though... |

Shipping goods back home is one hell of a night mare for Nigerians in diaspora, TRUST by far is one inevitable factor that affects how both parties work. I am following this thread religiously with hopes someone comes up with a name that is credible enough to burden your trust on. |

kcatetra: Well i decided to share ma own experiences. I am also a business man and ship in all sorts ranging from phone cases to laptops. Neva done a car or container shipping tho, strictly airfreight Thanks for this post, i am considering Allworld tho but please do you know if they can successfully ship a car-part item such as "window glass" and car lights successfully from ilinois to lagos?? This would be my first time and cant stand receiving a breakable item or it being stolen. Lastly, why nobody considering the BIGGER guys like Fedex,UPS, DHL?? or are they very expensive?? Because i think our goods would be safer with them or what do you guys think??
