Bro you are right. Its better we avoid them, shoppers should start using shoptomydoor. They are still the best when shipping goods. Your goods will be cleared without no issues. Those thieves called fedex and redstar charged me #120,000 as custom duty just to ship 5 used android phones. I loosed the phones to them at last.

Every shipment coming into the country is taxable except those granted exemption by the Fed govt. I mean every shipment.

Duty calculations are based on some variables and formulas depending on the content of your shipment. With my experience, the major challenge is wrong taxing and not taxing itself.

I had a shipment from abroad using fedex. And after 3 days of sleepness and nervous online tracking due to the content of shipment. When it got to lagos ,nigeria. Red red red. Custom wohala. I called fedex and they said dss are holding my item. After countless threats,back and forth emails.useless and senseless phone calls. i had to part with 35k. I felt sad. They are kidnappers. Who place a ransom over any valuable goods. Bastards. To all your courier service bastards especially in fedex,dhl,ups. Who impersonate customs using dhl letter heading and email ending with @dhl.ng,@fedex.com.ng. Your time is up. This has been going far back as 2001. Till tmrw

This is to increase awareness on my experience with courier companies (FEDEX in this case)


The FedEx affair....


1. I bought items worth 180,044 Naira, I was told Nigerian Customs wanted N60,634.84 as custom charges (Email of January 29th) within 5 days. I paid on 31st January, 2018, i got the item on February 6th and demanded for a Customs Receipt (Email of February 7th),

· The fictitious duty was paid only AFTER I had received my package and AFTER I raised alarm.

· Receipt showed disparity in the amount paid into the Customs (N55,392 vs 60,634.84)

· “Airport taxes” were claimed and covered by a FedEx receipt when the only body responsible for issuing such receipts is the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN)

I raised up the issue with a Team Lead who felt ignoring me would make me forget the issue.

2. I wrote to FedEx Nigeria Senior Management, providing ample evidence of the fraud and extortion by their staff, hoping for a simple solution – refunding the fraudulent charge in full and ending it there.

3. I started receiving an avalanche of harassing phone calls at odd hours (is this a FedEx policy?) culminating with a coercive threat call by a Director at 19.08 hrs on 6th March, 2018 (NOTE – The telecommunications provider can be subpoenaed for more details when we go to court) He was sorely mistaken, it just made me angrier.

4. I made covert investigations with legal counsel and I wanted to present evidence in America. I was strongly advised that the international offices would just cover up the case that I should reply to Homeland Security and FBI instead. I couldn’t unfortunately because I have some important issues to attend to in Nigeria.

I then escalated to 17 FedEx International Staff; mostly country managers about the fraud and extortion ring being perpetrated by FedEx Nigeria. I sent the mails at 5.30am and by 9.00am i got 17 "MAILER DAEMON" messages like all the messages weren't delivered (cover-up even at international level).


I had promised that i would escalate the case to the Presidency and the Head of Nigerian Customs. I received more threats and a letter from their lawyers.

They felt i was cowed, but they don't know i fully intend my money to be refunded.

HOW CAN ONE SEND A PETITION THAT IS SURE TO LAND AT THE DESK OF IBRAHIM MAGU (EFCC) AND HAMMED ALI (CUSTOMS)?

This is just the beginning.....
