Nipost is trying. I received a package through them, but it didn't come from USA, sorry. It came from HongKong, they brought a mail to my house that I should come to my post office to collect my package. So they are trying.

What was the size of the package? And how much was is declared as worth?

Hello,

Sent jewelry worth about $250 on Friday. My Nigerian contact got a message/call to come pick-up today. She will have to pay N1,500 to get the goods out which I considered reasonable. Pick up will be at their shomolu office. When she picks up I will let you know how that went. Mind you I used express mail (the 3 - 5 business days service with insurance (comes with default insurance but I had to pay like $2 to insure it to the $250 level) and NOT the priority mail which is 6 - 10 business days - was informed at the office that express mail or registered mail with insurance is probably the way to go for Nigeria). For an idea on size, I used the flat rate medium box but the weight was no more than 5 pounds from what is written on the receipt they gave me.

She picked it up today after paying the N1,500 with no hassles.

you shouldnt have a problem. i send valuable items through this channel on a regular basis, and there has never been an issue. except they charge ridiculous amounts for the receiver to pick it up regardless of what u declare as its value. they have their own value estimation system.

But why EMS instead of NIPOST?

Hello please i am expecting a package through First class mail international from the US through USPS and i have been tracking it and this was the last update i got below

Processed Through Sort Facility
Your item was processed through our ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS) facility on December 09, 2012 at 7:26 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination.

please what do i need to do and will i get further tracking updates on it when it arrives in Nigeria i am so so scared please i need a little advise

@dammy

you will get a text when it arrives in Nigeria and you will have to pay some fee to pick up. The fee is from N1000 and above, depending on what you bring in.

It depends on what the item is declared to be. There's a certain limit of worth in dollars that you will need to pay. I'm not sure of that amount. I have shipped upto $10 before. And didn't get to pay extra. Someone I know shipped in a laptop and he paid close to 10k at customs.

My package entered lagos since 30th, till today they don't want to deliver my package��
