MrsNaira:

It takes about 24 to 48 hrs to start tracking. I sent a letter to Japan at Ikeja GPO on the Wednesday just before the Muslim holidays and it started tracking on the next day and got there in 9 days.
Also, please don't be offended, can you cross check with the receipt to ensure the number is correct?
offended ke? lmao..you are trying to help me obviously..i will check

Please I need advice on what to do.

I ordered a laptop on ebay, paid using Paypal and the seller shipped on the 17th.
The item got to Nigeria on the 25th (I tracked it online using the CW.. tracking number the seller gave me). When i saw that delivery was being delayed, I contacted the closest NIPOST office. The officer there promised to contact someone at customs for me (because when I tracked the number on nipost website, it showed that the item was sent to customs since the 27th). He called me back and said the item was seized by EFCC (and that the order came from Abuja). And advised I contact the seller with the problem and give him a feedback.

What should I do?

Good morning everyone, I have a package from Netherlands through Nl post, It has arrived Nigeria and I tracked it on my shipping company site and was told that delivery was Unsuccessful. I then tracked on Nipost site and was also informed that delivery was unsuccessful. But I am very sure that the delivery was not even attempted because I used an organisation address and there is no way someone would not have been around during the delivery time. I think it is in the dugbe post office branch in Ibadan because I saw NGDUG on Nipost website, The question I have now is what do I need to take there and which evidence do I need to collect my package. Thanks

Good afternoon people. I am about to purchase some items precisely clothings from some uk shops, and the shops do ship to Nigeria and I will be using a P.O Box address (NIPOST). My question is do I still need to pay some forms of customs charges when the clothes arrives? and how do they charge whether it is by percentage or which ever way, cos am scared of this naija ooo and their way of hyping things.

although I have been using procurement companies to buy items but their charges are way too high sometimes one will pay almost double amount cost of the items just for you to get them to naija, and after they might have arrive lagos you will have to pay another charge to dispatch to ur state,

You need to use a physical address i.e. address of a building

12th as in yesterday? You need to give at least 10 working days for it to arrive Nigeria. Besides, the category of the mail is LC as in local meaning as soon as it leaves USA, it stops tracking. So you have to be VERY, VERY vigilant and start disturbing them at the post office as from 25th of this month.
Good luck!

Letters can sometimes spend up to 2weeks at the ISC due to backlog. Why not give till Friday. I'm sure it will get to the destination.

Which website are you tracking it on?

If you have not collected it..when going there go with the tracking no sent to you from where u purchased the Item and a valid ID . The name on d ID must correspond with the name on the package.

You can buy and forward it to that ur procurement company. There will only charge you for shipping. Then as for using NIPOST I know you will pay between 5-20% of what ever amount custom feel is d cost of your package..and you will also pay handling charge to NIPOST too.

@toerflee: I do not reside in the country but i sent a brother to check at the post office but that was fruitless as they were unable to provide the package. I had to wait for almost a month before the arrival of the package, i suggest you allow a little bit of time as i am sure the package would be delivered.

Hi
There is nothing much nipost can do because since one of the schools has received your document, that means that your parcels have arrived the U.S.
Once the letters leave Nigerian borders, it's out of NIPOST's hands.
Just try to be more patient and keep calling the other schools for update on your documents.
Pele, it must be very frustrating, I know.
