Good morning from Shipro
The number 1 platform to shop, source and ship from China to Nigeria

Many importers don’t realize that shipping choice affects cost, speed, and even what items can move.
Guangzhou air freight is commonly used for general goods and is usually more affordable. Hong Kong air freight is more suitable for electronics, batteries, and sensitive items because of stricter handling rules.
For larger or heavier shipments, sea shipping is often the smarter option. Sea freight is calculated using CBM (cubic meter), which is the volume of your goods, not the weight. This makes it ideal for bulky items where air freight would be too expensive.
Understanding these differences helps you avoid unnecessary costs and delays.

One phrase you’ll hear over and over when sourcing from China is “Factory price”
Here’s the truth most people don’t tell you: most suppliers are not factories, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Many of them are trading companies, distributors, or sourcing agents that work closely with factories. They aggregate demand, manage communication, and sometimes even handle quality control better than small factories can.
The real problem isn’t whether a supplier is a factory.
The problem is assuming “factory price” automatically means cheapest or best.
A factory with no export experience, poor communication, or weak quality control can cost you far more in losses than a reliable trader with slightly higher pricing.
Smart importers don’t chase labels.
They chase consistency, and accountability.
China sourcing works best when you understand how the supply chain actually functions, not how it’s marketed online.

MOQ scares a lot of people sourcing from China, but it shouldn’t.
In reality, MOQ is usually a starting point, not a final decision. Suppliers are more flexible when you communicate clearly, understand their constraints, and approach the conversation professionally.
When you know how to discuss MOQ the right way, you reduce risk, test products smarter, and grow without overextending yourself.
Follow us for more practical insights on sourcing from China.

We’re rolling out a major feature on SHIPRO.
Very soon, users will be able to purchase RMB and pay Chinese suppliers directly from the SHIPRO platform. Faster, cleaner, and without the usual payment stress.
This is another step toward making China trade simpler and more accessible for African businesses.
Launching soon.
Stay tuned.

In China, cities specialize in just one thing:
• Yiwu - everything small & affordable
• Shenzhen - phones & electronics
• Guangzhou - fashion & bags
• Foshan - furniture
• Quanzhou - sneakers
So the secret to buying quality is knowing which city your supplier is sourcing from.

That’s why SHIPRO doesn’t just look for suppliers. We source from the right regions so your product comes from the people who are experts at making it.
Smart sourcing starts here.

My advice to everyone having Pi coin is: Don't sell your Pi Network coin at giveaway price. Wait for Mainnet and become rich!

Hmm. What do you have to say now?

Here’s the simplest breakdown:
Temu is built for casual buyers: Cheap items, impulse shopping, inconsistent quality.
Alibaba is built for global trade: More structured, but many “suppliers” are trading companies, hence the higher prices.
1688 is built for China’s real wholesale market: Factory pricing, real manufacturers, full quality tiers, but also high risk if you don’t know what you’re checking for.

In short:
1688 = lowest prices, a bit of risk
Alibaba = sometimes safer, higher prices
Temu = convenience, mixed quality
That’s exactly why we built SHIPRO, to help Nigerians access factory-level pricing without the typical China risks:
• Verified sourcing
• Supplier background checks
• Gadget inspection before payment
• Consolidation & shipping
• Smooth dashboard tracking
• Affordable shipping rates
We’re making China trade accessible, safe, and simple.

Many business owners in Nigeria still depend solely on Nigerian suppliers because of convenience and lower perceived risk. But a smarter approach is to combine both supply chains.
You can maintain a consistent quantity you import directly from China, where prices and margins are significantly better, while still keeping your Nigerian supplier as a buffer for fast restocks or extended shipping periods.

This gives your business stability, flexibility, and lower operational costs.
Whether you sell electronics, gadgets, accessories, or general merchandise, you can now source and ship easily through SHIPRO. Our shipping rates remain among the most affordable in the country.

There’s a reason businesses with the same capital don’t grow at the same speed: different supply chains.
Two people can sell the same product, but the one buying directly from the right suppliers in China will always win. Better pricing, better quality and better margins.

Do you know some Chinese suppliers sell warehouse liquidation stock at unbelievably low prices?
These are leftover batches, overstock, returns, and factory surplus that get cleared out fast.
But liquidation deals can be hit-or-miss if you don’t verify condition, authenticity, or supplier credibility.
That’s where SHIPRO comes in. We help you check, confirm, and buy safely

The gadgets being sold by most Nigerian vendors have gone through a lot of supply chains, and because of that they are more expensive than they actually are but we can tell you for a fact that 90% of gadgets in computer village are from China.

That’s exactly why we structured gadget sourcing properly on SHIPRO.
If you want any gadget, MacBooks, iPads, iPhones(all models), Samsungs, you simply fill the sourcing form on the website. You tell us the quality or budget you want, and we bring options from verified suppliers.

Before we pay anyone, an independent inspection is done in China. A full report is issued, we review it, give you updates to make a decision based on that and only then is payment released. That step removes most of the risk people face.

We’ve also started uploading official China iPhone prices from suppliers we trust, all verified and inspected. And if you already have a supplier link, we can check it, verify the seller, and help you source safely.
After 2+ years in this industry, spotting bad suppliers has become second nature, and we’ve built that experience directly into SHIPRO so you don’t have to gamble.

If you’re buying or reselling gadgets, SHIPRO gives you a clean, safe way to access China.

True
Let’s see how things turn out

Today feels like the right day to say this:
SHIPRO didn’t just appear out of nowhere. We’ve spent years inside China trade, learning, failing, fixing, refining.

We’ve dealt with every situation imaginable: factories that overpromised, suppliers that disappointed, quality switches, random price jumps, and those “everything looks perfect until it arrives” moments.
We’ve survived all of it. We’ve also learned how to see the red flags before they show.
That experience built something we’re genuinely proud of:
1. A strong, reliable network in China
2. People on ground who can re-inspect goods, walk into factories, verify manufacturers, and source with precision.

Also, over the past few days, we’ve been onboarding our long list of long-time clients onto the SHIPRO platform.
Many of them are older clients who’ve been with us for years
Watching them switch effortlessly from manual sourcing to a clean, simple dashboard has honestly been fulfilling. Everything has been smooth.

There is no level of China trade we haven’t faced, solved, or grown from.
That’s why SHIPRO feels easy for users. Your experience is built on years of ours
China is complex, but we built SHIPRO so your journey doesn’t have to be

We just uploaded the official China prices for the iPhone 17 Pro model on SHIPRO website, and as always, we’re keeping things clean and safe.
These phones are from suppliers we’ve bought from over time, but regardless of who the seller is, every single device is tested
Before we pay anybody, independent inspections are done at inspection centers in China and sent to us.
We go through them, confirm everything is legit, then we release payment and have the phones delivered to our address in China, before they are then shipped out.

Properly verified devices, the way it should be.

More links for all iPhone models, Macbooks, Samsungs, speakers and more are being uploaded soon

A lot of people get scammed when buying from China because they chase cheapest prices without checking the basics- specs, supplier history, reviews, or product details.

As we always say at SHIPRO: if it’s too cheap, there’s a reason for it.
Not every cheap option is bad, but most times that extra 5RMB or 10RMB difference has a story behind it.
Most Chinese suppliers aren’t greedy. They like making a fair, honest sale. Quality usually follows the price.

When you shop on SHIPRO, you can protect yourself by checking:
• product specifications
• supplier ratings
• customer reviews
• item variations and photos
And if you want extra safety, use the Sourcing option. That’s where we help you ask the right questions, request clearer photos, and confirm details directly with the supplier before you pay for your goods
Note: We don’t cover quality issues when you shop independently, but with sourcing, we help you verify before payment.
Shop smart. Check details. Protect your money.

When it comes to customizing your own products in China, your logo, your branding, your packaging, your unique design elements, we follow a strict and simple process.
All customization requests must go through the Sourcing section on the SHIPRO website: www.shipro.africa.
That’s where you upload your design files, references, product details and product requirements so we can take them straight to the right supplier or manufacturer.
For brand owners who don’t want their designs leaked, copied, or reused, we secure proper protection before any conversation begins. That includes NNN Agreements, NDAs, and supplier verification to ensure your custom design, logo, or private-label work stays locked to your product only.
No supplier is allowed to share, reuse, or reproduce your design for anyone else.
It’s extra work, but it protects your brand, and keeps your customization safe.

Today’s orders updates are done.
Keep sending your orders in both sourcing and shopping
We’re processing nonstop
