Please avoid this shipping company, very unprofessional, outrageous charges you weren't inform of earlier, worst customer service I have ever received, I wish I search reviews earlier before doing business with them.

Hello, i just paid for shipping my laptop to Nigeria via shoptomydoor and the charged me 71usd and they refused to combine and save my laptop with other items. But I tried shipping the same laptop via amazon directly to Nigeria and i was charged only 63usd and i was told it will take 12 days. I should have used amazon shipping. This is my experience and i don't think amazon shipping is high because they are constantly improving ways to offer cheaper services and the will someday out do all this so called shipping agents and someone told me i can use post office to ship and it is way cheaper but delivery time is longer.

VKasparov:


You are quite right! These days I discovered that AmazonGlobal Priority Shipping is the cheapest way to ship, especially for items such as laptops, phones and the like.

They are honest and they will not charge you bogus hidden fees and inflated CLEARING, PORT HANDLING AND DUTY fees. I shipped a laptop with AmazonGlobal Priority shipping and they only charged me for:

1. Shipping and Handling
2. Import fees deposit

The import fees deposit was surprisingly low. When I clicked the link on “Import Fees Deposit” on their checkout page, they explained that if they did not pay customs up to the amount I deposited, they will refund my balance through the medium I used in paying for the transaction. However, if they paid more than the sum they asked me to deposit, they will not ask me to pay more. Imagine!

Also, at the Amazon checkout page, if you are using AmazonGlobal Priority Shipping, they will not charge you the usual 9% tax of the cost of the items you purchased. It is Zero tax!

I experimented by shipping the same laptop I bought again within that same period using shoptomydoor. They charged me for:

1. Shipping Cost
2. Clearing, Port Handling and Duty
3. Inventory Charge
4. Other Charges
5. VAT

At the end of the day, I discovered that I paid shoptomydoor almost double the amount of money I paid to ship the same laptop directly from Amazon using AmazonGlobal Priority Shipping.

Mark my words, AmazonGlobal Shipping will soon put all those parcel forwarding services out of business if such companies continue with their exploitative ways.

A few questions
1. How do you guys purchase items that cost more than $100 from Amazon with the current $100 limit banks have imposed on their cards
2. Does Amazon do the shipping to your doorstep?

VKasparov:



Answer:

2. As to the question of if they will ship the items to your doorstep, YES they will. They partner with local courier agencies to deliver to your doorstep.

I need more clarification on the highlighted extracts above.
Were the purchased items from Amazon delivered to you at your doorstep in Nigeria?

I'm asking this question because I'm an Amazon prime account holder here in the united states and there are some health supplements in Amazon I want to buy and send to my parents in Nigeria and, I have been practically awake all night combing the internet in search of a reliable shipping/ courier services that can deliver these supplements to my folks but I'm so apprehensive of using any of the services because of the negative experiences of the past.

I really want to be sure that Amazon delivers directly to the recipient's address in Nigeria just like it does over here and I know of their GSP services but I have never used it to ship outside the united states.

Your affirmation will help me to go ahead and purchase these supplements from Amazon and use their global shipping services and send them down to Nigeria to my folks.

VKasparov:


Yes. They will deliver to your doorstep. They partner with local courier services in Nigeria to do that. If you are still weary, why not ship a cheap item first to try them out. It is usual to be apprehensive when using any new service so, the path of wisdom will be to try them out with a small shipment first until your confidence in them develops.

The only downside to Amazon Global Shipping is that they do not offer consolidation if you purchase several items from different merchants. They will ship each item separately.

If you are buying several items from different merchants then use myus.com (myus dot com) to ship them. From my experience, they are the best forwarding service. They are an American company hence they are well organized and transparent. They will not exploit you.

In fact they use Actual Weight of your items to calculate shipping cost as opposed to Dimensional Weight which some forwarding services use. This makes theirs much cheaper.

Also, they have a deal with Amazon and a lot of the other top US shopping sites in that you will not pay the usual 9% tax upon checking out if you are shipping to myus.com. I have used them for several years without disappointment.

If you are a frequent shopper like me, it will be wiser to subscribe to their premium service for a small fee. It is cheaper to use the annual subscription method as opposed to the monthly subscription. At the end of the day, even with my premium subscription, I find that they are still cheaper then the others cos they will not charge you any hidden fees.

By the time you calculate the hidden fees charged by those forwarding services that claim to offer free 2 weeks storage, you will find that they are more expensive than myus.com in the long run. Besides, myus offers 30 days storage.

Thanks for the belated response but I have already gotten the supplements sent to my parent's through another means.

Thanks once again

I tried a company called ship to naija and they delivered which prompted me to use them for the second time and they delivered as well.

I recommend their services and you can check them out through my referral link below since they also have a referral program which is irrelevant to me but just had to use it since I'm deeply certified with their service.

Thanks.

I will be writing my own review on shiptonaija. These guys are crooks and have so many hidden charges. What in the world is a payment surcharge, when you are charging me, black market rate, and also I am paying into your bank. Thieves. First time user and last time user. Will never near them again..thieves

byrron:


So sorry about your experiences but our experiences differs.

I have never had any issue's with them and the items i sent to Nigeria arrived at the residential destination address in Nigeria without any issue's and I went ahead and used them 2 more time's.

I'm not holding any brief for them but I have also not had any negative experience with them and they still
remain my go to source for now since they are the one's that also came to the rescue after series of negative experiences with sending items from the US with USPS only for the thieves in Nigeria working at NIPOST to demand for outrageous fee's in other to pick up items sent to Nigeria.

Shiptonaija eliminated all those BS and delivered right at the primary destination in Nigeria and that's a huge relief for me.

Our experiences differs.

Afamdman:
lucky you..its simple let them charge what they say they will charge. Instead of these hidden charges.
Shipping fees (normal) clearing fees (normal) other charges for sending laptop with battery (understandable) but another extra charge for new laptop (WTF) I got charged $16 for that, then insurance charge (why should I pay this) then the most annoying payment surcharge, why the Bleep should I pay that, when I am paying you black market rate and still paying into your account..God will punish them and their business.they should continue with this sharp practice and they will keep losing customers. Why not tell people the real cost. So they make an informed choice..what's pissing me off, is I had to pay extra cash to ship to their facility from LA. I could have shipped to my agent I normally use in delaware and pay a flat rate of $60 for laptop. They are thieves nothing will change my mind till they stop this hidden charges. If they are so sure, why not place it on their site clearly where they put that their price per pound is $4. Thieves

momojojo:
I don't know why we Nigerians want to hurt each other since we advertised our business on Nairaland. We've been receiving goods that some fraudulent Nigerians obtained in fraudulent manner to the extent that the CIA fraud unit came knocking on our doors. If you send us items you obtain fraudulently we will send your IP address and phone # to EFCC as advised by the CIA fraud unit. Sorry it has to come to this
