We also sell rmb and pay suppliers
We have also added a new feature: you can now search the website based on manufacturers and see what items these manufacturers are selling and place orders from their store’s directly

If you’re planning to attend the next Canton Fair from April 15 to May 5, there’s something you need to know, and it could save you serious time, stress, and money.
The Fair is split into phases, each lasting about five days:
Phase 1: Electronics & tech
Phase 2: Household items
Phase 3: Beauty, fashion & health

The key mistake most people make is thinking they need to “compare every supplier to find the cheapest.”
Here’s the smarter approach:
When you find a supplier that fits your needs, whether it’s for electronics, or beauty items, lock in with them. Then, move to the next stage with the same supplier if they can handle your product lines or customizations.
Why? Because chasing every possible supplier wastes time, energy, and sometimes money. You end up leaving without a real connection or deals.

This is where SHIPRO comes in:
• We give you direct contact with trusted Chinese suppliers for your business needs.
• We handle custom sourcing and product customizations.
• We protect your ideas with NNN and NDA agreements.
• We guide you through the process, making sure you can secure stock without worrying about scams, or unnecessary middlemen.
Attending Canton Fair is exciting, but the real wins are in strategy and execution.
With SHIPRO, you can also get your products shipped directly to Nigeria

Middlemen have eaten enough from Nigerians.
Every time you buy phones, laptops, bags, shoes here, you’re paying for a long chain:
China - Importer - Wholesaler - Retailer - You.
That’s why a gadget that leaves China at 190k ends up as 320k+ in Nigeria.
Not because people are wicked, the system is broken.
SHIPRO fixes this. We remove the middlemen and give Nigerians direct access to Chinese suppliers, the same markets big importers use.
Buy directly in naira, and ship at affordable rates.
It’s time Nigerians had direct access.

Most Nigerians don’t overpay because they like wasting money.
They overpay because they’ve been taught that “original” can never come from China.
Meanwhile, many of the items, phones, laptops, gadgets, and accessories we buy locally were manufactured in China.
The truth?
Original products are not scarce. Access is.
When you can reach Chinese suppliers, and ship with structure, the price gap becomes obvious.
This is why smart buyers are cutting out unnecessary middlemen and going straight to the source and that’s where SHIPRO comes in.

Why factory sourcing is cheaper but not for everyone
Factories in China offer the lowest prices and customization, but they come with high MOQs, longer timelines, and strict requirements. They’re built for scale, not beginners.
If you’re just starting or testing a product, rushing into factories can tie down your cash and slow you down. Start small, learn the market, then scale.
At SHIPRO, we help you know when factory sourcing makes sense and when it doesn’t, so you don’t learn the hard way.
Follow SHIPRO for real China insights.

Chinese New Year is the biggest holiday in China, when factories, and warehouses shut down as workers travel home to family.
Production and shipping slow down/pause completely, and resume after the celebrations.

For SHIPRO: we won’t be taking orders after Wed, 4th Feb, 2026
Head now to www.shipro.africa to process all orders, stock, and items for your valentine sales and gifts before it’s too late

You can now buy RMB and pay Chinese suppliers directly on the SHIPRO website.
This means no more running around for agents, or worrying about failed transfers. With SHIPRO, you can fund your Alipay and pay your Chinese suppliers seamlessly from Nigeria, all in one place.
Whether you’re sourcing goods, paying a factory, or settling a supplier invoice, the process is simple, secure, and transparent. It gives you full control over your transactions and helps you move faster without unnecessary stress or middlemen.

Two sets of people messaged us yesterday, one set(rather small fraction) was for big deals, the other was for small deals.
“Please, I want to buy two bags from China… I just need to be sure I’ll get them in Lagos”, “I need to find out if an moq of 1800 pieces is acceptable with the supplier referenced last week”
And honestly, each message sums up why SHIPRO exists.
Big or small deals, China can be overwhelming - suppliers, payments, inspections, shipping, timelines. One wrong step and the whole thing turns to wahala. That’s why we built SHIPRO: to give Nigerians a safe, structured way to access the Chinese market without stress.
From sourcing and supplier verification to RMB payments, inspections, consolidation, and shipping, we help you move serious business with confidence. If you’re planning a big China deal, don’t gamble, do it the smart way. Do it the SHIPRO way.

There was a post just recently from someone breaking down what about ₦600k can get you from him. It was impressive.
But here’s the real question: Do you know what ₦600k can get you on the SHIPRO website, shipping inclusive?
Most times, 2x or even 3x more.
And it’s not just clothes.
Phones, laptops, bags, shoes, blenders, household items - if it’s made in China, you can get it directly.
Even after shipping, costs are often still less than half of local prices.
Our shipping rates are very low, and everything is delivered to your doorstep.
Hundreds of Nigerians already source, shop and ship directly from China using SHIPRO.

As we round up all orders and shipments ahead of the Chinese New Year, we want to sincerely say thank you to everyone who placed last-minute orders and trusted us with urgent shipments. The support has been massive, and it doesn’t go unnoticed.
Chinese New Year is a major period where factories, warehouses, and logistics slow down, so we’re ensuring every confirmed order is properly processed and shipped before the break.
We truly appreciate the trust you place in SHIPRO to connect you to China - smoothly, transparently, and reliably.
We’ll be back fully refreshed after the holidays, ready to keep helping you source, shop, and ship better.

Most people think shipping from China through SHIPRO is just delivery. That’s where many importers lose money.
Shipping covers more than transport, it includes handling, consolidation, inspection(in some cases), documentation, and customs processing. This is why two people can buy the same item and end up with very different costs.
Shipping is charged per kg or by volume, depending on the product. If you ignore this before buying, a “cheap” product can quickly become expensive.
At SHIPRO, we help you understand shipping before you buy, guide you on the best method, and deliver straight to your doorstep in Nigeria.
Shipping isn’t just delivery.
It’s part of the buying decision.

China is entering its major holiday season, and all international shipping for SHIPRO officially pauses on the 12th.
That said, we’re still accepting last-minute sourcing orders. Only those that require dealing with retailers and verified second-hand sellers in China.
Using SF Express, we can still beat the clock and ship out selected items before the shutdown.
If you’re cutting it close, now is the time.

Before paying any phone supplier in China, these are some of the questions amongst others you can ask the supplier. It’ll save you from losses.
• Is it brand new, refurbished, or used?
• What grade is it?
• Is it factory unlocked?
• Are any parts changed? And if yes are the parts original?
• What’s the battery health and storage?
• Can they send real pictures/videos before shipping?
Most problems happen because questions weren’t asked.
With SHIPRO, we verify suppliers, inspect devices, and only ship what you approve.

If you’re serious about doing business with China, your first trip shouldn’t be to “buy.” It should be to observe.
Go and understand the environment. Visit markets and factories. Compare prices. Ask questions. Test the quality yourself. Many first-time buyers rush into purchases and end up paying 2x the real factory price simply because they didn’t understand the ecosystem.
China is layered - traders, middlemen, agents, factories. If you don’t know the difference, you’ll likely overpay.
Your first visit should be about building relationships, understanding pricing structures, and getting comfortable with how things work. Then, when you return for actual purchasing, you’ll move with clarity and confidence.
China rewards the informed buyer, not the hurried one.

When people ask why SHIPRO charges for sourcing and inspections, this is why.
Vetting suppliers in China is not soft work. It’s strategy, leverage, and experience. Beyond having staff on ground in China, ensuring escrow protection, and quality checks, these are some of the questions we use to test seriousness(these amongst others still apply for on-ground sourcing):
• “If the product differs from the sample, I’ll reject it and file a complaint.”
Triggers fear of platform disputes. No supplier wants issues with their listing platforms.
• “Complete quality inspection before shipping or I’ll request a refund.”
Hits their ratings. Bad reviews damage them heavily.
• “Send real factory photos/videos. No marketing images.”
Instantly reveals factory vs middleman.
• “This is for long-term cooperation. Don’t lose a serious client.”
Possibility of future deals. Serious buyers get better treatment.
• “If quality fails, I’ll file a public complaint.”
In China, reputation is everything.

Many times, suppliers stop replying when they realize they’ve been “clocked.” Let’s not forget that Chinese are extremely smart and little details overlooked can lead to brutal losses. In sourcing, we often uncover details that save our clients millions.
Chinese suppliers negotiate price, but they respect leverage.
We’re still onboarding new clients daily and we’re grateful for the trust so far.

The types of reviews we love to see at SHIPRO:👇🏽

A SHIPRO client buys about ¥100k worth of goods every three months. Now rmb rates are dropping, we advised her. That drop by about #20/¥ saves her about 2m. Most likely when the new year is over, rates will go up again
To all clients who’ve called if we sell rmb/pay suppliers. Yes we do.

RMB is currently dropping due to lower demand.
If you’re planning heavy purchases from China, this is your window. Buying RMB at a lower rate means cheaper supplier payments and better overall margins.
If you regularly fund RMB accounts, now might also be the time to stock up before demand rises again and rates adjust.
Smart importers don’t just watch product prices, they watch currency too.

We’re officially resuming operations tomorrow following the holiday break.
All orders placed on the SHIPRO website during the holiday period will now be processed and shipped out from China as quickly as possible.
Most orders that did not require sourcing or inspection have already been worked on. Orders placed directly from the home page without extra sourcing notes, as well as links submitted without special instructions, have been processed. The only delays experienced were from China’s local logistics during the holiday shutdown.
The wheel is now back in motion.
Thank you for your patience, trust, and continued support. We’re ready to move full speed again.

Even before the Chinese holiday officially came to an end, we were already processing pending orders behind the scenes. Now that the holiday is over, a lot of orders have been updated, and most are almost out of production.
Our goal has always been simple - reduce delays, protect timelines, and keep our clients happy.

To everyone who continues to trust SHIPRO for sourcing, supplier payments, inspections, and shipping from China - thank you. Your support means everything to us.
We remain fully committed to delivering efficiently, transparently, and reliably as operations return to full speed.
The wheel is turning again, and we’re moving forward.

Shipro services is top notch.

I got a DJI product directly from China through their service.

This was an item I was looking to purchase since last year October.

Aliexpress wouldn’t ship to Nigeria because of customs ish .

I saved over 200k, compared to the amount I would have paid if I purchased it in Lagos.

I never knew them, but saw the thread here and decided to give them a try.

Thanx boss. I’m happy with my purchase.

Hope to patronize you again soon.

If China suddenly stopped today, would your business survive?
It’s an uncomfortable question, but a necessary one.
From phones and small accessories to industrial machines and production equipment, a huge part of African businesses depends on China.

The issue isn’t dependence, it’s how structured that dependence is.
Many businesses don’t have a clear system for sourcing, supplier relationships, payments, or logistics. So when delays happen or supply gets disrupted, everything gets stalled. This is where structure matters.

At SHIPRO, we’re building that backbone for businesses:
Direct access to manufacturers and suppliers
Support for sourcing machines and production equipment
Flexible shipping options including sea shipping for bulk and cost efficiency
Seamless handling of smaller items and everyday inventory
Simplified RMB payments to suppliers

Whether you’re running an e-commerce store, scaling a product line, or building a manufacturing operation, your strength is in your supply chain.
Because the real question isn’t just if China stops, it’s whether your business is built to adapt, respond, and continue.
That’s what SHIPRO is here to enable.

Most Nigerian businesses don’t fail because they lack customers or demand.
They fail because they cannot restock consistently when it matters most.
You get momentum, customers are ready to buy, and suddenly you’re out of stock.
That one gap in supply can undo weeks or months of marketing and ads.
What many business owners don’t realize is that growth is sustained by reliable backend operations, not just sales.
A structured supply pipeline ensures you never lose customers due to unavailability.
At SHIPRO, we help businesses source, pay, and ship from China seamlessly so they can stay stocked and keep growing.

Importation itself is not risky.
Risk arises from businesses’ lack of structure and preparation.
Unverified suppliers and poor planning also increase the uncertainty.

With the right approach, risks can be minimized.
SHIPRO’s systems create predictability and control.
Our structure turns risk into opportunity and an enjoyable order process.

Shipping is a strategic part of your business that directly impacts cost and profitability.
The way you structure your shipping determines how much you spend per unit.
Consolidation, shipping method, and timing all play a role in cost optimization.
A well-structured logistics approach can significantly reduce expenses.
At SHIPRO, we help you optimize your shipping through proper planning and execution.
