Can You Recommend A Cheaper Alternative To Mall4Africa...? by JSayin(f): 9:27am On Jan 01, 2017
Happy New Year Nairalanders,

Please assist me with information.

I placed an order for items on Mall4Africa worth $24 (about N13,000).
By the time I was ready to check out, total delivery costs significantly increased my final total to double the total amount i.e. $45 (about N22,000).
(Note that I did not use the 'door-to-door' service if not, it will increase to about N66,000)

Please is there any one who can suggest a cheaper alternative for me?

The items I want to order are specialist stationery items. They are not bulky and neither do they weigh much. They can comfortably fit into a large brown envelope.

Thanks.

Please read my post carefully:

1) I'm asking about how to ship to Nigeria cheaper and not how to get cheaper foreign exchange.

I am buying products worth N12,000 and using about N10,000 for delivery to Nigeria.

2) I am not a 'bro'

Goods got to them Since 22 December and I Paid some days after hoping it would be shipped by 28th December as told by one of their reps after calling, only to get a mail from them this morning that they regret to inform me about some delays and my goods will just be shipped from the US today... This is after paying their very high shipping charges, yet they cannot still deliver

Hello Akinswaggs,

We sincerely apologize for the delays, after the massive shopping from Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas and other discount sales in the USA this delay was due to backlog of shipment the airlines had due to the Christmas holiday. We can assure you that this will not occur again.
We appreciate your business.
