I was just going through the internet and found out some shoes i was interested in buying to come and sell in nigeria,they totalled $300 with a weight of about 50kg and when i calculated the shipping cost down to nigeria directly Using Fedex,DHL,USPS and UPS the cheapest i got was about $700 which doesnt make sense because with that i would go at a VERY HUGE loss.I dont know much about shipping and would like to ask people here that do businesses that require them shipping things to nigeria which method of shipping is the best to ship items as large as that from say USA,China and other places directly to nigeria without going at a loss when i sell the items.How much it would cost.how long it would take,what i have to go through before i collect it and the charges i would have to pay.Wouldnt mind if there is a site you can forward me to.

I use USPS to ship stuff to 9ja from USA. Cheaper than all those other couriers you mentioned. It is slower and my goods always arrive.

I wouldnt mind if it is slower as long as the goods arrive.which method of USPS do you use because there are different methods,how long does it take for yours to deliver and i wouldnt mind and idea of the price range like the price for a particular weight say 60lbs.

Iyken, charges/rates should not be a problem because any logistics company/freight forwarding company should present their rates to you before you make a decision on using them or not.
Before rates can be given there are certain ESSENTIAL VARIABLES that need to be known. For example, sending a box of clothes to Ibadan from Lagos is cheaper than sending it to Kano. There are over 400 airports in China and the cost of sending cargo from each of these airports to Nigeria varies. The LOCATION (city) and MODE OF FREIGHT/TRANSPORT (Air or Sea) must be known before rates/charges can be provided. Shipping by AIR is faster but also more expensive than shipping by SEA.
Anyway, I can asssure you that our rates are amongst the most competetive in the market and our service delivery is far above average,

Hiya you`ve been a bit quiet on the business thread of late. I remember in your post to the use of ethanol fuel in naija you said you were having your exams so how did that go? Expecting your deferred contribution to ethanol fuel in naija.NNPC is entering into contracts to import the stuff any way we defer this to the appropriate thread
