Grimaldi operates on a "first come - first serve" bases. Your car is probably waiting to clear customs at the port. Just be patient sir.

Thank you for your reply
It is three weeks plus now, they gave me a tracking
Number when I track it on the 20th of July
The departure was on the 27th when I tracked it
On the 26th the departure was on the 2nd of August
I called the shipping agent they said it was custom that everything is fine, on the first of August I tracked
It the departure changed to the 4th of August I called again they said the key was broken and they have to cut
Off the key lock now it can start with a screw driver, I did not complain
I tracked it again last night the departure was shifted to on the 10th if August I checked again this morning the departure was again shifted to the 11th of August, is this how Grimaldi is unreliable ? I have asked the agent to change to a different shipping line she has refused and keep on telling me Grimaldi is the best

Pls be patient, Grimaldi can be frustrating at times but they still remain my preferred choice in terms of security. I'm having the same issue with them as regards different ETA.

Is yours coming from Germany or USA
Do you have any idea what could be the reason


The stress is not worth it to me, the difference in price buying car from Nigeria and abroad is not up to 200k
My first experience was terrible this is my second experience and it is worst

Dear Sir, Lot# 22485643 - 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA/S/. This is a car worth ~N2.5-N3m. Don't look at the preliminary price tag to value a car on Copart, it doesn't matter what price you see there. What matters is the virtual sale prices, and this only happens on the day of the sale.

That been said, $8000 is a lot of money worth ~N1.3m (and you want this to buy a 2009 Corolla/s, inclusive of towing fees, shipping, clearing and our commission fees)? - sorry, no, this wouldn't work out.

Let's go backwards....a simple reverse. (This is a rough estimate NOT actual)
4- Clearing that car in Nigeria goes around N600k or more (~$3700-$4000)
3- Towing fees depends on the distance to the port - $200-$500
2- Our commission of $800
1- Ocean freight from US to Nigeria - $1000

sub total = $6000-$6300. ($8000 budget - $6000/$6300 = $1700/2000).

Now, what this means is that you want to buy a 2009 TOYOTA COROLLA/S/ for $2000/N326,000.
(Very Impossible)

1. Lot# 20077723 - 1999 MAZDA 626 ES/LX - Budget ~$350 as sales price only.

2. Lot# 23831333 - 1999 HONDA ACCORD - Has a "Buy it now" option of $2500. But, if we wait till auction date, we could be lucky to get it for less, say $1500-$2000
