Fast forwd to diix morning, got a call from dhl tellin me customs have cleared my package and now its been held again by DSS and NDLEA - I mean, how on earth does this concerns dis two agencies? I was asked to send some impossible document like pasport page of the shipper, letter stating my relationship wit him and some other impossible to get docs.. Told d guy i bought it online, and he said i should forwad my reecipt and my national id to one an email responsible to handle my issue, which i av done tonight..

please note...they always hold any package(s) that has a significant price..especially them iPhones and Samsung galaxies...they gonna be asking you stupid questions especially if you're a student...if you're togo to their office in NACHO...please and please go with someone...a very bold fellow..also dress like a gentleman....better still you're gonna see some so called agents in greenlike jackets..they can help you but you gonna have to settle them...welcome to naija bruv

Yeah boss I got my package on Monday...i really hope and pray yih dont get to pay again cos it's point blank extortion..based on my experience now NDLEA is the craziest of them all..they literally bill people.anyways back to my story lol..I went to Lagos for the clearance...parted with 50k...It's ridiculous but that's naija for you...they were asking for unrealistic things...they actually asked for 100k but I begged them...It's a sad experience though...I thank God sha..big thanks for the comments and advises...I'd really like to know how to ship with all these third party carrier (I want legit one though)...can hit me up on whatsapp 08065791142

Ok great, just got a call from them this morning after I've sent them d receipt of my purchase to them having my name on it. They said my package is ready for delivery that I should be expecting their delivery man that they called to verify my address and to knw if I'm gonna be around to sign for it..

Thanks.

Mytrick:when I was asked to send d reciept of purchase and id to their email, I sent a cc of the email to a lawyer cousin (having d initials of law on his email address)

I don't knw if its my trick that worked or just due process took its course *lol*
