I unfortunately was not aware of this thread before utilizing U.S. Postal Service (USPS) in sending a parcel across to Nigeria (& that USPS partners with NIPOST back home). I just sent a parcel via their Priority Mail International (PMI) service a few days ago & sadly failed to take down the parcel #/customs #/receipt # (as I was in a hurry). I realize now the tracking # started with a CW but will like to know if the parcel will have to be picked up from NIPOST general office in Lagos (Shomolu/Marina) or if it will be delivered to the particular NIPOST post-office which has the P.O. Box I filled in on the receiver address part of the form. I'll appreciate any advice on this to know how best to advice the receiver.

the parcel eventually arrived at the nearest NIPOST office to my indicated address. not certain whether a slip was passed along or the pobox was utilized. customs fee paid and the parcel finally delivered 3wks post send date. in good condition. indeed we must laud these good sides of NIPOST & our country.

Iykekings: @mavinc, Pls I just recently sent a package to my sister thru USPS priority mail. The tracking number begins with CW, would it still go thru EMS. She resides in Abuja, does she need to go the regular post office or one that have EMS service? although it's just over a week now, I just want to let her know what to do. thanks
