youngbilly1: hello everyone
am new to this. I wanna ask which cargo company will you advise i use to ship packages from china to Nigeria. Have worked with a company they charge $10 commission and $15 per KG even on a $5 item they still charge $10 commission and $15 per Kg thats very expensive. Thanks.

2. am ordering for an item on www.aliexpress.com but when it time to fill the address for the item to be shipped i dont see anything like china or people's republic of china, am confused china is not on the country list.

thanks

Fmirst of all, let me. start by thanking everybody for all the contributions on this thread.

@youngbilly1, try looking searching for mainland(meaning china mainland). If its not available, go to order message field and give the seller instruction to send ur goods to the sanyuanli address but its very important to include mobile n0.

Let me also give you another reliable cargo
Company within working distance from that ur sanyuanli address, but they only deliver to lagos and they charge only 4.8usd/kg shipping excluding clearing;

SKY CARGO +8613560453493.

dombible: up til nw i still dnt knw how to use escrow to pay on alibaba,pls can you help me with d process?

Select ur product from ur desired store. Click on start order under contact supplier (in orange color background), it will lead u to order page. Go to PAYMENT METHOD select escrow and continue! Good luck

Wealthyone:

What's d secure code used for? Is it the normal 3D code needed on the site? (3 number @ d bak of the card). Cos der z no space for secure code. Awaiting ur response. Tankz

@Wealthyone, secure code are ur secret n0 to be registered on their site meant for online/internet transactions to safeguard u from unauthorised used, just like ur atm secret pin. Call or visit any branch close to u friend.

Wealthyone: Hello everyone, I'd like to confirm if anyone paid recently on aliexpress with any nigerian (visa or master) cards? Because, few days ago, I successfully paid for few items with ecobank visa card but unfortunately, I have not been able to pay with the same card for my oda placed orders. All I keep getting was error msgs. I tried Diamond visa card which didn't work as well n went to fbn on Monday to get there mastercard. Since Monday, the mastercard and that visa cards neva paid successfully. I had a chat with there online customer agent on Tuesday who informed me dey don't accept debit visa or mastercard anymore. Western union is a good option but quickpay isn't available in nija as we can only receive and not send. I keep hearing gtbank mastercard n ubaafricard here, my question is are dis cards debit? Are dey still accepted on aliexpress as of ystd or today? How much does uba or gtb charge? If yes, pls, let me know. Thanks.

You can mke a payment with FBN naira mastercard on aliexpress but u need to get their internet secure code. Contact firstcontact on 014485500 for more details or any fbn branch close to U.

perfectgen:

My Oga, Thanks so much for the advice. What if I get a company that can do Escrow so that I can personally confirm the quality of the flash before agreeing that they release the funds. What other options do I have for buying the flash rather than online

You can start with small order to test there quality first, another way you can also check buyers feedback in that particular store u are interested in.

shinaf: i still don't understand the anwser given to me by aolglobal group THANK you so much for your fast reply .....but am still confused on some term of your shipment ...........dhl base on kg.. i don't understand the word CB OR NON - CB.. PLEASE can you expatiate on the
As we all know the goods we separate CB and NON-CB in Nigeria see below:
By air price: USD 5/KG more than 10kg,the clearing fee CB is N300/KG,NON-CB is N280/kg;
By sea price: USD 130/CBM, CB is N50000/CBM;NON-CB is N30000/CBM;as for the personal container we will according to your goods

CB- Means Contraband (Illegal to import goods)
NON CB- means Non-contraband (Legal to import goods).

perfectgen: Bro, you are doing a very good job. I am thinking of ordering USB flash drives from China, do you advise that I buy it directly from alibaba or that someone helps me do the buying; even though I don't know anybody presently and what is the shipping modalities for flash drive? Like how much would it cost for say shipping 500 pieces?

I can't advise u to buy flash drives and memory cards from china online. Its highly risky.

trillville:

Honorable fatai, thanks for the good job you are doing, please can you categorically state what happens it you purchase an item from alibaba using T/T or western union. I am about to make a purchase of over 1 million and it will be a shame to lose my money. The salesman seems honest but then who knows what his game plan is.

I have already asked him about escrow services and he said it was not possible. He also informed me that it will take about 25 working days to get my goods produced, so I should expect to wait for close to two months to get my products here in Nigeria. Please I need your advice.

Dear friend, I keep telling people here to avoid TT or western union payment to alibaba traders. Infact alibaba request u to report the seller to them. So never make that mistake.

If u have such amount to do business with him, offer to establish LC to them. In that. Way its between ur bank and his, so nobody can cheat anybody.

Alternatively, u can change another supplier with escrow payment method on alibaba. Bye

okwele 1: am new to this imort bizness, i want to import home appliances like fans, pressing iron etc from china.

mmi-mahbub:
Hello, Please am new in business and I am interested in importation from China. My budget is around N300k. What do you suggest I start with?

What do u have in mind and where is ur location?

portable11: pls oo biko am just a young lady who wants to start a life after service and joblessness, pls will need a guide on how to import cloths,bags and shoes from china and can i do this with 170k am pls i really need reliable and trustworthy help to go about it.thanks

First, try search the sellers of ur goods on aliexpress dot com, negotiate the price and add something like N1,200 per 1kg (average cost of air cargo to lagos) to the total cost of ur goods. Also look at your target price in Nigeria to see if your profit margin is ok for u. If u re satisfied let me know. gud luck sis.

blackeli: How much averagely is the freight time ( shipping) from China to lagos?2. What products can one import to Nigeria and make 100% profit on sales? I've got 50 million naira to trade, would need consultancy, whats your cost to consult?

@Blackeli,

First of all what we are saying here is free of charge.

We cannot count goods that u can import to Nigeria from china and makes 100% margin. I will advise u to pick a line of business u have passion for.

If you have passion for building materials, i will advise u to try stainless steels handrails(for stairs and balcony) if u can create the market. Best of luck

solelymade: Hi faatai2, nice work ure doing here. Pls I would like to know if I can avoid clearing agents on large consigment from start to finish. Nd is it advisable to import without going there to inspect the consignment or getting someone to do d inspection.

I dont think is easy to import without clearing agent. But if u really know the charges, nobody can cheat u.

You can get inspection agent on alibaba to inspect ur goods and provide u with independent report base on your proforma invoice agreement with the seller/manufacturer at the range of 100 to 200usd per day.

gud luck.

arimahoseloka: Hello, pls i want to know d cheapest debit card payment to use in Nigeria, d last time i used gtb, i was charged 168 per dollar. This is just madness and exploitation. Uba also charge about that same amount and they will still collect money for transaction fees. Smh, only in naija, only in naija...

Try Firstbank.

Sirjohn84: Tanx alot for this great piece of powerful information.plz i am deep interseted.in doin in importation business..but i am based in Ughelli,Delta state..can i get my goods here?..n if yes,how do i go about it?.plz help me o

FatherAbrahamm: i am on a paid job but i am considering leaving to start business.

i plan to visit china next year. i have a passport but has never travelled before.

someone told me to get chinese visa for my virgin passport is near impossible or better still i should keep N450,000 ang go through agents!

is there no way i can process the visa cheaper maybe via the normal process even if it takes a while?

please advise me on china visa application. dos and donts. pros and cons.

The best way to china visa on virgin passport is to try through ur chambers of commerce, because they travel to china canton fair for oct?nov and apr/may sessions.

Another possible way is through Min of Foriegn affairs.

Okiki_Oluwa:


ok.
Can u suggest any kind of biz?
Maybe phones, cameras, wristwatches, cloths, electronics importation.
And how do I start?

@Okiki_Oluwa, always try somthin different frm what pple do. I suggest something like good quality power bank for U! Gud luck

perfectgen: How much does it take to travel to China and where do they apply for the visa. Likewise, considering the language barrier, what are the chances of a English speaking guy to get good purchases from there; particularly electronics?

You need about N500k for visa, return ticket and cost of living for a 14days trip. Gud luck

Desloaaa: I have always wanted to order from alibaba 'cos most of my wishes are on alibaba and cheaper too.But am settling for aliexpress for now.its either Alibaba's sellers are not online or they don't repond to chat.How do I pay or make order?

Naira mastercard and any other intl card. Your payment is secured on aliexpress. I always use aliexpress for all my small orders. Cheers

lucasmaji: pls how can I track down good buyer in china and pls I need your contact I have a lot question

The simplest way is to check through alibaba dot com, but check those with full address, phone n0, escrow payment method. But always avoid making payment by TT and western union to them.

Sorry I don't intent mentioning of agent here. But any agent u want use is ok. The total shipping cost from guangzhou to Lagos for 20 and 40f containers are within 2,500 to 3,000 and 4,500 to 4,800usd respectively. Also clearing cost depend on d kind of products, atmost u must not pay above N2m to 2.4m(for contrband 40f HQ container). Bye

Saintflames: with the ideas i have gathered so far on my many years of importation i felt theres still something left in the shadow of ur post.................

First i let me make it clear that i get ninety percent of my order via DHL at 80 percent free woooow!! Ssssh dont scream yet yes i mean it 80 percent free. Frnds theres nothing so sweet & relaxing lyk getting your order dispatch and delivered in 5days or less than. In my tutorial on importation so far i have had guyz(my student) coming back with these same issue of why do dhl charge high? Listen, dhl is the most reliable and fast courier service for now and it pays vat to nigerian govt but add me to learn the tips of how i do virtually most of my order free using the same dhl not only that i will still be giving u an insight to the ''brother in law price'' on any goods you order for what do i mean? I mean get the seller reduce the price on every item u are ordering for. contact me via my email livinghopealoysius@gmail.com well i still have a step by step guide on my import biz with loaded tips that will make you scream ''this is it'' call me on 08181244208

Again, sometimesmyou write to a supplier on Alabama but because you are from Nigeria they will not reply.pls how do you go about this.

Yes, u can import leather shoes but using air cargo, contact Chrisnak ventures above for details.

For alibaba u can always call their contact mobile n0.

zezebabyxoxo: What are the best products to import to Nigeria from China and sell wholesale, that would move quickly with good profit if my capital is around 5 million.

Stone coated roofing sheet. With about N7.2m( shipping+clearing and local Transport to ur city all inclusive) u can import a full 20ft container and make something reasonable to keep u for good 6months. Gud luck

zoba001: I want to import plumbing materials from china, please can you tell me a company that is reliable and has stock?

You can search on alibaba dot com but I will advise u to deal only with companies who accept escrow payment. Avoid any supplier who ask u to pay by TT or western Union.
