DON'T even TRY xpedited shipping, my ordeal with them presently Is a little worse dan a nightmare..their organisation/Logistics is absolutely ZERO. this is my first time with them and I honestly regret it.

before I made up my mind to try them, I took the pain of adding them on bbm so I cud get information easily. on enquiry (via bbm) I was told it wud take "within a week" for me to receive my item,and that dey were shipping out the following Tuesday, bla bla bla. after much hesitation I decided to give dem a try, I had my frnd drop a small package wt dier new York office on sat 6/4/2013. fast foward a few days, I ping on Wednesday to find out if the package left the U.S. as promised, dude ignores me. next day I send anoda mssg politely asking again and telling him hw important it is that I knw the state of affairs. my mssg ws read and ignored again. I help ppl buy stuff frm the U.S. through my frnd and its important that I can give a reasonable reply whn my customer asks me questions about the delivery.
I start to get rily pissed so I call their new York line twice my calls go unanswered and were nvr returned (I start to wonder if they don't pick 9ja calls or something). so I call my frnd in NY and he tells me he was given a numb for dier contact person in Nigeria, I call d dude on Saturday 13/4/13 , he asks me to call him back so he cn findout frm d clearing agent if my package hs arrived. I call him back and he starts giving me gist about nt being able to reach the agent bla bla bla and abt not haven spoken to him in a while, and asks me to call my frnd and ask him to ask dem to give him (my frnd) the agents numb...I was so mad I lashed out at him. after a few mins he sends me a numb and says I should get in touch with the agent. I call Mr agent who says he hs no package for me (after their promised one week had elapsed) I ask him whn d next shipment myt be and he say MAYBE next Friday ...dats like two weeks frm whn my package was dropped, and that one na MAYBE OOO.
My frnd is a research fellow at a univ in New yrk and takes time out of his very busy schedule to help me run dese little errands so I didn't even want to bug him about it.

The most annoying thing in this whole episode is still my inability to even findout the exact location of my package. how do I evn knw if the thing hs even left new York? I was so pissed whn the dude kept reading my bbm mssgs and
ignoring. If late delivery ws jst the problem I wouldn't hav been upset cos dts bound to happen sometimes...customs and all dt, as long as I have a good idea whn i'll be picking up my package. but being ignored and left in the dark for a service i'm paying for dts the height
their setup/collection arrangement is so messedup... imagine the contact person asking me to call my frnd in the U.S. and get the numb of the agent. infact the guy sounded like he was jst helping the comp out as a favour.



if ure looking for efficiency..FORGET XPEDITED SHIPPING, dey're nothing close to professional

I was going through this post I'm wondering because you got your item late what's fraudulent about that, if UPS, FEDEX, DHL and co deliver your goods late do you start a thread and call them fraudulent. That's why we as a people can never move forward.

MrOrioye:
Is there a Shipping company that no one has anything against on Nairaland?

I use MyUS. They send via FedEx but I pay with my heavy sweat. Way beyond expensive, I call them. My last shipment was 8.3lb shipped for N35,000 excluding customs charges. But the truth is, my goods never get missing at any point whatsoever. I cant afford to loose one shipment. Not a single one.

However, almost all my clients are walking away due to my huge bills as a result of this shipping costs attributed to my imports.

I just registered with shoptomydoor. But I'm really skeptic.

Nairalanders! Your advice is needed.

Re: Cheapest Way To Ship Goods From USA To Nigeria? by iderade2011: 5:28pm On Mar 06, 2016
I think you're just impatient ( sorry for this comment). Before i started using Valuehandlers or VHI cargo i inquired from Segun my cousin and he recommended valuehandlers as the best among all these shipping companies in Lagos. I have used them to bring in items from both china and usa, and i must confess, they're trying. So agreed with PerfumeRepubli when he said the delay you experienced was general and not peculiar to only VHI. I had of the strike action at the port at that time too.
Of course most company will have link to their terms and conditions at the signature of emails. Its our responsibility as importers to make sure that we read condition of service. I will recommend VHI cargo for reliable cargo shipping service to Nigeria

dynamitee:
Since i wrote a review on VHI, I will update you guys.

I finally got through to someone who said that they had sent me a mail on 5th of January at 11PM. I found the mail as they said, in my SPAM folder.

They also charged me an extra 20 dollars which they did not mention when they initially gave me a quote. When I called and asked why, they directed me to a very tiny tiny print at the very bottom of the price quote (after the quote and the name of the sender and the signature, at the very very bottom of the email) sent to me that said
"Destination Charges: This does not include custom duty if cargo is considered as dutiable item by Nigeria custom service."

This, they said, was the justification for the extra 10% charge on the cost of my cargo. They also said I had to pay the invoice before my goods would be cleared from customs, another detail that was not in the initial email sent to me; and which was also contradictory to what I had been told before by another customer rep.

I paid the bill at 4:35pm this evening, i'll update here whatever happens.

Meanwhile, I ordered another item from amazon, through mall for africa. Check below.

Re: Cheapest Way To Ship Goods From USA To Nigeria? by iderade2011: 11:07am On Mar 08, 2016
Anonymous1900:
THIS IS A STERN WARNING/ADVISE TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN SHIPPING FROM US TO NIGERIA with VHI......if you hear the name VHI or VHI Cargo or Value Handlers International.... or whatever acronym they now use..... RUN with your goods

I am not advocating from any other company or suggesting alternatives since that's not my motive, my warning stems from a personal experience with the company and it was entirely terrible. I wish someone had put something like this out there to give people an idea of what to expect in terms of service from VHI so we could make informed decisons.

I wont spend the whole day typing but ill give you bullet points:

Does this company fulfill deliveries in 7- 10 days like they advertise.... Hell no (i got my item after 5 weeks)

Does this company keep you informed of progress/updates especially when the expected delivery date has passed..... You wish ( you have to email, call and follow up yourself to get any information)

You are asked to fill a pre-shipping form the item you want to send to them whih includes tracking number of the courier your using to send the parcel to their warehouse and all your details(phone number, address etc) and then scan your id to them for verification. You would only assume this means they have all your details at hand and they will be professional..... Guess again (You can understand my surprise when issues arose and i was being asked what my contact number was?)

This company gives u an exact format of how to write your name on the parcel when shipping to them, I emailed them and got them to send me an exact format of how they want it written..... So imagine the shock i got by email after 2 weeks for a parcel that was meant to be in Nigeria within 10days from someone telling me i wrote the address wrongly and my goods have been returned by the courier to me (this only after i had inquired to the status of my goods)

After several calls and emails by me to my courier company and their company representative who originally told me i sent it to the wrong address (bear in mind my tracking number confirmed my goods was delivered to them 3 days after i sent it and i emailed them to confirm this was done.), i then emailed them the address they sent me to which they confirmed that the zip code they gave me was wrong by a number. Nevertheless the courier company confirmed it was delivered to them. Eventually after a few days, they told me it was an error and it was not my goods that was returned but another customer.....I was already obviously deep into this and could not pull out but to say i had began to regret using them was an understatement.

Eventually my item got to Nigeria and another 7days to clear and a further 3 or 4 days for them to pick up from the cargo office to their office before the item was collected. So after 5 weeks of waiting and emailing and jumping through hoops i naively believed my journey was over and i could receive my parcel and run for dare life....... my recipient picked up the parcel, got home and opened it to find it damaged (the screen of the tablet had cracked)

I am cutting my losses and washing my hands of this company but decided to help someone avoid such a terrible experience if possible. I was not recommended to them, i came on nairaland and searched for ways to ship to nigeria desperately an my main motive was speed of delivery rather than cost without using ups/fedex/dhl. Please note i emailed them to advise of the damage and they responded in the defense as expected saying with the amount of protective packaging i used (bubble wraps for the item and air packets in the case)item could not have broken unless it was tampered with i transit. You would expect anyone with common sense to know if you throw a box around for 5 weeks with glass in it irrespective of the packaging, there is the probability of damage as evidenced by a damage on part of the screen and not the whole screen.

Either way you have been warned/advised.

N.B i dare anyone from the company from the 3 representatives i dealt with to call me out on any of the things i said or term my feedback false as i have all emails from the beginning of this transaction to prove my claims and you can judge for yourself.....


Many of us that patronize freight shipping service providers do not really understand how the process runs. I have used this VHI cargo or value handlers several times, and i do not see anything bad as you have painted. I think we need to understand that freight shipping business is a process that includes many player, of which VHI cargo or any other individual shipping service provider can not be in total control. If airline didn't delay, what about custom, and even suppliers that are found of sending goods out without proper labeling. I have also had bad experience from a few shipping companies in the past, but i understand. I think its just not good to shower bad about service providers taking advantage of this platform. I am a business owner who will not want anybody to bring my business down, so i wont encourage people talking bad about other companies online.

Shoptomydoor, though very reliable in terms of delivery, is now extremely expensive. You can imagine buying 5 dress shirts from TMLEWIN for #7,000 each (after conversion) and paid shipment cost of #6,000 each. A pair of shoes I bought for $18 to be shipped at $32- It's really ridiculous. I'm searching for a replacement ASAP- I think I'm done with STMD!
