We all know Nipost has increased the service charge from N200 to N500 for receiving international small packet.

This is discouraging especially for such items we order that are worth less than N1000.

I called the Nipost customer care to comfirm the legality of the charge, they did confirm its legal. That means one has to pay.

At the post office, i met a Reverend father who made a plea for donation of a Piano from US, it came quite alright, but Nipost put a handling charge 2 times the value of the Piano. As we discussed, the issue has been on for 2months as he has refused to receive the item sent to him for free.

Yes i agree handling charges should be charged but Nipost should find a standard way of charging not abitrarily like they do.

Secondly, i made a small order of 9 items collectively worth N5700, Nipost is expecting me to pay N4500 for all items even as one item is wort $1 but i have to pay N500 for it. They suggested next time i should ask the sender to just put the item in a ordinary envelop like a letter and they will not charge a kobo.

Who has experienced doing that especially with AliExpress?
Next time, buy everything from a single seller and shipped together into one package. If you ship it differently, you'll certainly pay #500 each package.

What if one seller doesn't have all the items i want to buy?

I am to receive a tablet weighing 0.83kg and valued at 53 dollars. How much may I likely pay? Is it still the same 500 naira? Can anyone help with this? ��
