Cheapest Way To Ship Goods From USA To Nigeria?

I have a question.

If I post say a laptop x5 or motherboard x5 via DHL or UPS to a house in Nigeria and label it gift, will customs check it, will there any taxes or charges of any sort or will they deliver without any qualms (from US & UK)?

I used luxury shipping lines when i shipped my cars. the girl there was helpful and they are freight forwarers so they shop around for you. they were cheap the girl name is  naya something like that but you can email them info@luxuryshippinglines.com hope that helped out.

For all cargo (air) from the U.S to Nigeria contact

OLU CARGO SERVICES in Chicago, IL Send an e-mail for more information at olucargo@live.com we will help you out. 3-6 air cargo. Much affordable and reasonable than FedEx, UPS etc

Thanks

Most economical and effective means is with Impex worldwide in new Jersey, I have been using them for a little over 2 yrs now & it has been great. They just introduced this online tracking from their website (www.impexworldwide.com), which is real good. You can track your packages on their website and they just called my wife last week on their new lower rates, 

I was advised to use impex in freighting my baby crib from the US to Nigeria, I was told by the person I called on phone that the item will be pre-weighed measured and I will get a quote  before the item is shipped. Only for me to call and was told that the Item has been shipped and was given a ridiculous weight and number of items I sent. Note that I sent 2 Items (Crib and Mattress both weighing 56pounds together) only to be told that I sent 3 items all weighing 112 pounds, I still wonder till date what the 3rd item is. as if that is not enough, without prior noticed I was told that my payment is in the amount of $425 (note that initial estimate from telephone conversation was $230). I took this as it is and was told that my item will arrive Lagos in 3 to 5 days, its been 3 weeks now since I sent this item to Impex office in NJ, and I am yet to take delivery of my items. I call every single day and I am told to drop and expect a call back, and believe me no one ever calls back until I call again the next day. I will call Lagos and be told my item is in PHC, I will call PHC and be told that my item is in Lagos, I get posted round all Impex location and I am really frustrated. I wish I never came to Impex and regret the very day I contacted you people. apart from the fact that I am being forced to pay an amount that I would ordinarily used to get same item or more in Nigeria. I still cannot get the exact location of this item as we speak. I was given a number (phantom number) to track my item and each time I try using this number I get a error message. I wish this was in a civilize environment where legal implications are of consequence, I do not think someone will do this sort of thing to customers. you ship my item without letting me know first hand what it will cost, tell me that's the amount am going to pay and make me call everyday without letting me know the exact location of the item, refuse to send back the item when I asked that it shouldn't be dispatch at that rate. I am really surprised, they provided on their site, a complaint form, try filling it out with this same info and gets an error message, so please for all those advising people to use impex, please try and think about my experience.

what happend?

I saw your post too late. . . 

Already sent and paid. . .Im crossing my fingers


Will report my results

and who do you suggest?

Update:

My Goods Arrived in Lagos Monday,

But they sent a text message to my reciever saying he needed to pay 7475 =N= in their bank account

But I called Impex and since I already paid, they should charge no more.


They said they will email Lagos , and Lagos will release the package.


Today my reciever tried to pick up the package, but IMPEX Lagos hasnt recieved an email from Impex USA.

Will call them again.

Customer Service is good, they are very busy , but they try to help, even though they promise to call you back and they forget. LOL


I will update when my reciever gets the package.
I have an inventory list and I pray everything is in there.

Oh. I get it. You shipped it TO impex on the 16th . I understand now.

Sorry o , I didnt see you questions.

Update:

I am in a mess right now
My bf had to calm me down, because I am freaking out and crying in anger


The package was supposed to be delivered on THURSDAY and they promised that they would send the driver out to drop the package where the reciever could get it.

Keep in mind my reciever had already DRIVEN TO LAGOS which is 4 hours AWAY!

I called Lagos on Thursday and they said that the driver had already been out and that when he come back my package will be sent out Friday.

So im trying to be patient.
Today I woke up at 5AM this morning and Called Lagos, the woman Ossy assured me that the Driver is going to drop the package to be picked up and will call my reciever when they get there.


Up till now 1:17 pm Central Standard Time/ 7:17 pm Lagos Time, NO PHONE CALL HAS BEEN RECIEVED.

I called them before at 10am my time which is 4pm Lagos time.

The same woman Ossy assured me that my package would be picked up today.

Now it is past 5pm Lagos time and no one is picking up the phone in the LAGOS office.


I am so upset and mad. I dont even know where they dumped my package, or they lost or stolen it.

I can't even concentrate at work. I am so FUKCING MAD!!!


I called Impex in New Jersey and the woman Keci told me to call her at 10 am Eastern Time, she will call Lagos if my package is not recieved by then.


I dont even know what to  say. My package is somewhere in nigeria and has been there since Monday. Up till now, nothing.
Please pray for my nerves, because God help me, if anything is missing Im flying myself down to New Jersey next saturday and demanding a refund for everything I bought, and I got a reciept for everything.

Im have heavier and bigger packages to send to Nigeria now but Im not going to use them.

they failed me.  

Next Review: Orderbay. <- I shyed away from them because they have an extra 35 dollar charge  but the money I spent calling nigeria is more than that.

I would gladly pay 35 if my packages are delivered in an efficent manner.

I hope anyone from IMPEX reads this , because I demand an apology, and Im not some random user who just added yesterday, so Im not kidding.
 

I can understand you!
I am also angry and my car is sitting in the port for 2 weeks now and the clearing is getting more expensive by the minute.
I hope you get your package soon. I will be going to the office in Lagos tomorrow to talk to them since phone conversations are fruitless and down right insulting. As I said before just unprofessional!

Again, in the future use Accessport Nigeria Limited for clearing and tell them that Claudia has referred you they are a registered clearing company and professional.

As for those who want to ship cars to Nigeria there has just opened up a new possibility trough a Canada based company called Export Trader (exporttrader.com). I personally met the with them here in Lagos and they have started to sell cars online and deal with all the shipping and clearing for you. The company exports cars all over the world and would be a great option to anybody who wants to buy a car overseas.
