MrOrioye:

do they charge import duties? i mean aside freight fees

Something makes me feel you actually work for MallForAfrica and this is nothing but a disguised advert to win people over. Notice the glaring discrepancy on the location of the goods where your warehouse will be received then sent to Nigeria(is it US or UK or both), or are your efficient company also confused.?

I think they all charge import duties. 10% of item value in most cases.

Like seriously! Something makes you feel that i work for MallForAfrica? Well that "thing" is called a deceptive spirit. It may be responsible for most of the opportunities you have lost in the past...Brother-Man you need to check it. Why do you have to think that way man? Do i have to work for them to show people like me who wanted to give it a try?

Sorry man. These posts weren't for you. They're for people who just wanna know how it works with this particular company amongst many others. Not people who are looking for mistakes or reasons to doubt the genuineness of the process. Before finally using MallForAfrica, i asked so many questions both here and on other forums. I was curious to know before i tried but no information or testimony from anyone. Thats why companies don't grow here. People don't give feedbacks. And when they do, others think they are sponsored. WTF??

Well I just placed an order on eBay to be shipped to my shoptomydoor address in China and i'll open another thread for this same purpose. Maybe then you'll say "I think you're an ambassador of Shoptomydoor "?

And FYI, it was a typo from the original message itself as shown in screenshot attached here. And i'm glad you used the word efficient, i think they are; irrespective of their typo.

Na waa o, you made a mistake and I pointed it out, even without personal insults or calling you a scam or failure. All you had to do is reply me based on the topic and clarify with better facts, not to resort to calling me names or assuming I've missed a lot of opportunities in life. No need for that man

Apologies man. That was so wrong of me

My current ordeal:

It all started when I found a laptop on Amazon.com and decided to use MallforAfrica. Since it was above 30cm, I made a custom request and sent them the link. I noticed that the quote I was sent was for the one sold directly by Amazon & not that of the merchant the link points to which was cheaper by over $70 than that of Amazon. I didn't bother and assumed that delivery may be faster and may be it's due to partnership with Amazon or experience with merchants.

After placing an order through webcard, status changed to 'Awaiting items' from merchant after 2 days of 'processing' the payment I made on 10th May 2017.

Now I'm getting more skeptical and apprehensive by the day cos only God knows where my laptop is and whether it'll get to me in one piece or if it's the actual one I ordered for. I'm already having bad feelings about the whole transaction, my very first with MFA.

I didn't contact them all this while just to see how they operate but when I began to get worried and thought of calling or emailing, they notified me via email (after about 2 weeks of waiting) that investigation is ongoing into the delay on why the merchant hasn't sent the laptop to them and promised to keep me posted.

The next day, they emailed again and later called notifying me of the merchant's unexpected inventory issue but the same laptop from another merchant is now en route to their warehouse and item should arrive on or before 2nd of June. I'm not sure whether this date is for arrival at their warehouse or Abuja office. I don't even know if there's a price difference now.

Status is now 'Other' as I write this.

Spoke with them yesterday and the expected delivery is now June 23rd. I suspect that they cancelled that one and made a fresh order but are hiding this from me. I could see that the order date now changed to June 4. I am tired of all these! A month now and I may still have to wait for another month. Apparently, the 10-15 business days claim is a hoax

Have ever taught of how to purchase items directly from US and UK online stores and get it delivered locally precisely Africa? The first question is, "can this be achievable?". First and foremost the answer is Yes!!! It is 100%possible. However there is a convenient, safe, and fast way to purchase items directly from US and UK online stores and receive them in Africa. You don't need to travel abroad for shopping. With the high cost of international round-ticket, you could save and buy more items from your home. Install Mallforafrica browser or mobile app...
