Thought I should share this with all.

On my way to the Island this morning, I spotted a BRT bus carrying an advert.

It was an advert of a service that allows you to shop from over 80 stores in the UK and US. And you can shop from Nigeria.

I decided to check out the site. I checked it out and it looked good. You have to download the app though.

Now once you have downloaded the app, you simply shop on whatever site through the app. When you are done you click checkout and the app handles your checkout. Now what's interesting was the price. Unlike before when I had to pay exorbitant service fees to third party agents, the pricing on this one is incredibly low. You pay only about 10% of the original price of the goods you bought. Thats pretty neat.

Now my next move is to actually buy something through the app and see if I actually get to receive it. I'll brief you when I do that. Oh by the way the name of the site is MallForAfrica. Google it and you will find the link to the site.

If anyone has had experiences with MallForAfrica, please share. Thnks

Bros,we dey wait your verdict o!
I'm thinking of porting to mallforAfrica.I try shippyme-na disaster.

MallforAfrica looks good;just hpe dey deliver promptly.
They even have monthly promos in which u get concessions like ship each shoe for $2 from selected stores,ship 15 items for $15 etc.There is a clause tho-u must be a mallforafrica webcard holder.

I just need to know d dollar rate on their webcard.If itz not more dan 170 to $1 and dey deliver promptly,I port sharpaly.The card cost #2k5 tho.Afterwards,u can load it wit cash for your shopping.

Apart from the percentage service charge added, their exchange rate of Naira to your dollar payment is worse than GTB or other banks' rate. It's not less than N170 per dollar.

Seems u've used their service b4.
Do u use their card?
I knw dey waive sme fee if u're a card holder.
With all these "incentives" if combined wit their monthly promo of $1 per item or $2 per item(shipping cost),dont u tink itz cheap compared to oda means of online shipping?even if their dollar rate is a little ova 170

I understand you very well, i feel your pain, but you know that Nigeria business environment is very bad , i was in your shoe before so i understand. kindly provide your shipping booking number on their customer care someone will response to you. Even the big brand like dhl, fedex and ups has their own problem i know about fedex .

Haba! Euwajeh!!!

What did shippyme offer u that made u turn around to start defending dem?

I saw how u complained bitterly some weeks back and all of a sudden u're defending dem.Are u now an employee of shippyme?

I agree they are now trying to right d wrongs the former team did and they av clearly taken action but your turning around to defend dem is where it all gets hazy

Guys let tell our self the true i had problem with them last week even 2 months ago, But that do not make me come and rubbish them for their good works.All shipping company has their own problem. The problem people are having with them is understand . like me i didn't add shipping insurance in my packages . But the company was kind enough to compensate me .

Just shows that he who plays the music dictates the tone. His conscience has been bought. Smh

My conscience is not brought as we are speaking my items are still with them. i have not been compensated because i didn't add insurance to my items.

don't you think it's wrong not to pay back people whose items were stolen by no fault of theirs?

Using twinskenny as an example, how does he make up for the 300k goods all lost in their care? If those goods are for his customers, how does he refund them?

Since you are now their spokesman, kindly tell them to do full refund to all affected parties. Most companies do that. Go through this forum and see people being refunded for their missing items insurance or not.

And for your info, it is the shippers responsibility to insure all items being shipped as a company. When I buy items from ebay most with free shipping, the seller's insure the items when shipping to my US address. I am not aware of it sef only when I track my items I see the insurance.

Go figure. Thank you

@shrekandfiona It will be nice to channel your suggestion to their customer care thread. And for your information,That is what me and twinskenny have been fighting for. But there told me that there will compensate me because I didn't select insurance.
