Good morning fellow nairalanders, please i want to venture into online store business and the site is ready. My major concern now is do i need a store & vehicle (for shipping) before i can start.
Thanks in advance...

It is quite necessary. You need them because if orders come in, it will be more expensive for you to rent.

Are you targeting your state or nationwide? Even at that it's much better to use courier services or transport company buses and focus on your business

An online store is a good business. What products/services do you intend to sell through your webstore? Your product line will say if you need your own delivery van or not. Do you want to deliver interstate or intrastate? try to expatiate more on your business process. I could be of help.

Thanks for your concern, it is for interstate.
I want to build three store; one for selling project materials, the second is for the sale of clothes, accesories, phones, etc and the third will be like olx or mobofree (where people meet to negotiate on a fairly used product)
I don't know if i can partner with the likes of DHL for the shipping stuff. Thanks alot in advance.

The courier serviceis just the regular dhl,ups and co the other option is transport company buses you pay them to transport and the buyer picks it up at their office. Another option is Postal services depending on the location you send the goods via registered mail and the buyer picks up at the nearest post office. I was in Delta a few months back and I ordered mayorall powerbank it was sent via post cost around N700
