cne010: Omoteretop can you please shut up if you can't find our missing packages Abeg!

Are you sure you really want to hit the wrong person?

Shippyme is responsible for your packages and not me. Maybe you need expert's help in interpreting written words before you respond to people.

My concern is that you are either afraid of opening competition for Shippyme or dumb about business operations.

I suggest you go back for higher degrees if you are already a grad.

infogenius: Thanks for this shot, quite some time I visited this thread.
To answer your questions

1.

Presently I use Shop America, they have their office in Kaduna.

2.

Cost= $10/ib which is fair,
Delivery = 4 wks (from date of purchase) can come earlier but not later.
Package Handling = Never had an issue with that

3.

Customer experience is 100% for me.Because once I place my orders using their
address,I am off only to receive a call that my items are ready for pickup. I have never made
a call to them concerning my shipment when in transit.This makes me sleep easy.It is as good as that.

I've gone ahead to recommend them to so many of my customers and honestly they have never been
disappointed.
I will check for their web address.
Honestly, I am enjoying their services.
Please note I am never affiliated with them, I only use & enjoy their services.

I respect you, Infogenius.

I've ran a background check on your posts, they are informative and constructive.

The only challenge in your post is the inaccessibility of ShopAmerica's website (as well as physical office in a place like Lagos - for clearing purpose) which sends a negative signal about the shipping company. This is unlike Shippyme with interactive website and two physical offices in Lagos (which literally make it one of the best in Nigeria).

Nevertheless, kudos for the list.

infogenius: This is their norm.



This not true,maybe u used another bad shipper b'cos of ur anger.I have been shipping with another shipping company even b4 I stopped using shippyme and I have not had any cause to regret using them and I am still using them as I write this.U only need to be better informed.



Lucky you.



This is not really true.Not all Nigerians that ship through shippyme are dumb.
I did the above (as I ordered I updated on the portal) when I ordered through shippyme
and it still ended in the same sad tale.
I believe u and other shippers should continue to enjoy this unconditional favor from shippyme and give us good
testimonies so that the complaints will reduce.

I love your balanced analysis of the review of my shipping experience with Shippyme.

I am a researcher and buys hundreds of books from the USA every year. I have shipped directly from different companies since 2004. So, Shippyme is not my first mode of shipment. The company has nothing to offer me to write reviews as i pay them to ship my goods. In other words, my review was purely personal and not connected to the survival of the company in question.

I have read a lot of negative reviews of Shippyme on Nairaland and Facebook before giving it a try. Throughout these reviews, people claim they have used better companies. Some mentioned the names of these companies (often own by them) and others kept mute. In your own review too, you did not mention the good ones available. You only praised the company you used. Here are what you can do to improve the industry:

1. Identify and publish the names of good (shipping) companies you used in the last few months
2. Compare their shipping cost, delivery period and package handling
3. Based on your personal experience, describe their customer relations

When you do this, it will send a serous warning to Shippyme of increasing competition in the industry. It will also better our shipping experience in Nigeria.

In the final analysis, i do not write for Shippyme but myself. I have used their service and consider it OK (65%) in a turbulent business environment such as Nigeria. For customers who have had bitter experience, i strongly emphatise with you. The solution to shipping crisis is to expand the competition. it begins with objective review of all shipping companies that have heavy presence online.

Thanks

twinskenny: maybe he should visit the facebook page... at least all the comments there are all NEGATIVE!!! maybe the poster is lucky or apparently working for them as usual..

you pay for air freight they will ship your products via sea freight... isnt that exploitation?? like i said before if i dont hear anything regarding my items today i will definitely carry out what i have in mind.. and mind you the insurance factor will not work because according to status my item is still with them in the US.

such a bad company they are.. regret ever dealing with them.

I have a name to myself. I have read through the negative posts. I also have gone through the positive threads. I have no side to take than to share my experience. I did not say it was the best experience but it was not bad either. If you say i am lucky...good. But if you think i am working for them...bad. That i dropped a review of my shipping experience does not qualify me to be a Shippyme staff.

I emphatise with their customers with awful experiences.

Although, the company operates in a tough business environment like Nigeria, i would strongly advice that the company change certain HRM policies that drags their name in the mud.

In all, Shippyme is evolving and still remains one of the best in the industry.

SHIPPING THROUGH SHIPPYME

Shippyme is not that bad as portrayed by many users. Although, they might experience some issues which is common to the shipping industry.

Here is my experience.

I ordered for 50 books from CreateSpace (S1403188006) and shipped it through Shippyme in first week of April , 2014. Probably due to the sea freight package i chose, the books got to me at the end of June, 2014. I was not happy at first and complained about the delay to the USA office who told me that the goods arrived in Nigeria in the second week of June. I contacted the Nigeria office and was told that the goods are being cleared. This took about two weeks. The customer care actually apologized for this.

In anger, i sought for other shipping companies in Nigeria and to my amazement, none provided comprehensive information on how to ship goods from the USA. So, i turned back to Shippyme.

I ordered for an inverter (S1405247844 ) and shipped it through Shippyme. I used the sea freight and got the package within 30 days. I was surprised because the estimated delivery period should be 10 weeks. This was done in four weeks.

I discovered that once you order for a good, quickly make a new booking of that particular order in your Shippyme account. Monitor it yourself on your Shippyme portal and constantly send a message to be updated. This was what i did for the second good i ordered.

My packages were delivered and never missing.
