Shipping Goods From Usa To Nigeria - Which Is The Cheapest?
I have stocks of items waiting to be shipped to Nigeria from the US but am finding it hard paying for the shipping. UPS, DHL, FEDEX, AIRBOURNE fees are a little too expensive for me.
If you have an idea about a much cheaper company or a better way to do this, please let me know. Thanks.

And don't you think its better you make known what sort of stocks you are shipping? I guess that would aid better suggestions.

depends on where you are in the US there is a company called Nedlinks here in Ny they do a good job and there are other independent Nigerian companies too doing the same thing. And don't you think its better you make known what sort of stocks you are shipping? I guess that would aid better suggestions.

If you are lucky to know a FEDEX worker like me  , then You go dey ship goods every day like crazy.Actually, FEDEX gives its staffs a whooping 70% discount off on all shippings. So try and sabi any Nigerian brother working there, then you are game.

I shipped some Movie cameras i bought from B&H in Newyork to lagos via Global Express (USPS) there was a $70 difference between them and UPS. It took 28 days . but it arrived Lagos in one piece. It was deposited at General Post Office marina. NIPOST is the official partners of USPS/GLOBAL EXPRESS. They in turn sent a slip to the person i sent the cameras to who now went to collect them. The customs office there (GPO , marina) asked for N35k which was eventually brought down to N7k, If you are brave enough to leave your goods in the hands of NIPOST like i did, then try USPS. Worse still you can't track the goods when they leave America.

USPS does not guarantee the arrival of its Global Express packages so you have no recourse if the goods don't get there.

GREAT NAIRALANDERS!.
plz i have the same kind of problem, a friend of mine sent a camcoder to me from US. the worst part of it is that he gave me the tracking number and when ever i try to track it, it kepp on saying that "the item is not available in this web" and he said he sent it through USPS.
plz guys am damn confused, what would have happen? i don't really know what to do again. he sent the camcoder like 3days ago, does that mean that i will still see or may be i should kep on tracking it? till when?

USPS is not a guaranteed way of sending items to Nigeria. I really had a nasty experience with USPS and NIPOST. Their tracking system is not real time. It can only track within US. Items are delivered to NIPOST which in turn delivers to you.

@consultant & adconline Thanks for your experiences. To be honest i didn't choose USPS. the name that was given to me was Global express mail which i thought was a new player in the courier world. It was when the goods did not arrive after 1 week that i started to phone up B&H, By this time i was back in london and only then did i realise that USPS/Global mail Express were one and the same and that they deliver in Nigeria through NIPOST. I almost fainted and started confessing that the goods will arrive in Nigeria in Jesus name. During this period, my goatee turned grey very quickly because my thoughts were always on what would happen should the cameras not arrive. I have learnt my lesson and your experiences will further compel me not to use USPS again to ship anything to Nigeria.

please run a background check on these companies before you send your package. its better not to fall into wrong hands than hiring a lawyer.

Are You sure your friend realy sent that Camera? He might just say that for you to get off his back especially if you have been worrying him too much. Dont get it wrong its only a thought.

Having someone in the FEDEX with 70% off, to me is a better idea to ship goods to the country. I can check on a guy to see if he can be of help at least.
Cheers!
