If I may ask, what challenges do you have...I've been there before, it's just a small container set up.

Pls, who knows if EMS can be able to deliver a document to the USA in 2 weeks?

who has used Aramex? are they reliable?...I saw a price of 12,718k for <1kg documents

I need to get documents to the USA, but I don't want a courier that'll dig a hole in my pocket while doing so...other suggestions are welcome

NIPOST (EMS) PARCEL RECEIVER FEES

I have ordered certain equipment and items for an ongoing business venture through Ali Express and it was delivered at the Victoria Island Post Office.

I usually get calls or text messages from NIPOST personnel informing me about the arrival/delivery of the goods. However, the Post Office Officials keep demanding for a 'fee' and claiming they establish the fee based on the weight of the goods. Now these fees are not officially receipted and no document is issued by these NIPOST staff. At least something to show that as a public servant, they have legally collected money from a citizen for approved administrative services and for the citizen to show he/she has paid a service fee to the Government.

Recently, I have had a lot of arguments with them on this. The worry is, if one refuses to pay, they might mark one's name and goods, then frustrate future efforts at importing anything. This money they ask for is seemingly illegal. Funny thing is they even send SMS to notify you of the parcel and the fee they expect you to pay.

Who else experiences this at the Nigerian Postal Service? What I try to do is negotiate what ever the NIPOST Staff are asking for, the moment is goes above 500 Naira.

Are there better ways of handling this?

EMS is charging 15K to send documents that weigh less than 0.5kg

keneguae:


I hail what you are doing here, bro. Thanks for all your efforts.

A package was mailed to me from Gardena, CA on the 16th with tracking # EZ024328524US - the last update on it was the 17th. The thing is, I need to receive this package within the next one week because of its intended purpose. Do you think this is possible? The delivery was said to be 3-5 business days.

yomzy4cool:
.... it's possible bro , if custom no hold am and if the sender did custom declaration ... well I don't think that package can have problem ...it's gonna be a smooth sailing ... cos it's express mail class

keneguae:


Yes, custom declaration was done. It was sent on the 16th, but it seems it's yet to arrive Nigeria because I just left EMS office in my city a few minutes ago. I need to receive it not later than the 27th July or yawa go dey for me one kind. I was of the impression that 3-5 business days means just that.

keneguae:


According to what has been said here, you have to go to your nearest Nipost/EMS to pick it up yourself. USPS do not have any office in Nigeria, they only liaise with Nipost/EMS.
