MY NIPOST EXPERIENCE - Nigerian Postal Service by Bethiano(m): 6:56am On Apr 27, 2015 |
Hello friends, This is a thread where we come to share our experience with the Nigerian postal service (NIPOST). Nipost has undergone transformations recently, especially in the way and manner they do business . A lot of Nigerians have benefited from this transformation. How be it, I do not claim it is all wonderful experience for everybody. I know some people may have one or two "not to good" experience , but am sure we have a lot of good testimonies from Nigerians . So let's here your experience, so we can help drive this transformation of the Nigerian postal service. I will be sharing news on Nipost, you can also ask questions, an I will do my best to answer based on the much I know or I will refer you to Nipost customer service officers for more information. You can also make recommendations, give ideas of what more could be done to make NIPOST great. Thanks Bethel Ukazu The NIPOST AMBASSADOR 1 Like 1 Share |

Good. Maybe you can start by highlighting all the services currently being offered by NIPOST and their rates at least that way we will know how best to judge their supposed rejuvenated services. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I received a package from the Netherlands mid-december last year and noticed the seal was broken and re-sealed. When I queried the NIPOST staffs in Akure here, they claimed it might be the sender. I called to confirm and was negative. I was disappointed, though everything was intact. NIPOST staffs should be patriotic and desist from tampering with customers' parcels. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Last year October I used EMS and paid 8,900 because the documents i was sending to Germany needed to be there on time. I was told it will take them 5 working days to deliver it. But i kept tracking the item it was only saying Item in the bag. I mailed the recipient 2 weeks later they said they hadn't received it. I called EMS / Nipost office severally. They kept saying their system is down that i should call back later. Yet when I called back later they will still tell me the same thing. I was agitated. Finally it took them 21 working days to deliver my mail. It was so annoying. I would never use EMS again. 6 Likes 1 Share |

ajoskele: To enlighten you further, Nigerian Custom Service always carry out checks and duty assessment on packages at the ports before they are delivered to the addresses. Sometimes NDLEA check too 4 Likes |

NIPOST MAIL SERVICES The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) is the national carrier of all classes of mail items for delivery both within and outside nigeria. Mail items, which include letters, postcards, printed papers, parcels and aerogrammes are processed through the post office. TYPES OF MAIL 1.1 Conventional Mail These can be classified according to the delivery schedule or other qualities. They include:- I. First Class Mail: These are mail that require faster delivery than ordinary mail and they attract extra postage fees II. Second Class Mail: These are mail delivered at no cost other than the stipulated postage rate, a rate lower than that of First Class Mail. III. Registered Mail These are mail items requiring special handling because of its contents, which may be Money Order, Postal Order, Bank draft etc. An extra fee is charged in addition to the postage payment. 1.2 Business Mail Business mail service is concerned with processing mail which are exclusively meant for business purposes (transactions). 2. Mail Delivery Services Delivery of mail to addresses in Nigeria is effected through the following means; I. Post Office Boxes: Post Office boxes are installed in all post offices and sub-post office across the country, and are available for rent on completion of relevant forms and office formalities. The use of post office box guarantees customers' security, privacy and convenience of their mail collection. II. Private Mail Bag: This service is available on application to the Postmaster in-charge of any post office. It is particularly suitable for customers who receive large quantity of mail (daily) and are prepared to accept delivery/ collection usually at least once daily. Correspondences for private mailbag users are also available for delivery/ collection earlier than those for delivered by postmen. III. Special Delivery Service: This is a service introduced for corporate organisations that have 'PMB' and generate large volume of mail. On agreed frequency, NIPOST collects client's mail for their private mailbags and delivers to their offices for an agreed fee. This service saves the clients time, money and the infrastructure required for mail collection and delivery. IV. Post Restante: This is a service for individuals travelling out of their base, who expect important letters. Interested customers could call for such letters by applying for "Post Restante" or "To be called for". There must also be proof of identity to ensure that delivery is made to the proper person; the applicant should be able to state from what place or district he expects the mail. If he decides to send for his mail, the messenger, besides being furnished with the above information must have a written authority to collect such letters. V. Street Delivery: It entails mail delivery by postmen on house to house basis. The effectiveness of this service depends, to a large extent, on how well a street is named and numbered VI. Caller Services: Where there is no house to house delivery and individuals are unable to procure a private box or private mail bas, addressees may claim their correspondence at the post office or postal agency during normal office hours. |

bigtt76: Bear in mind that, Nipost has the most and best pocket. Friendly services. For example, for a student seeking admission abroad, it will cost u about 300-1000 for a registered and "track-able" mail, depending on the weight of documents u are sending and destination. But no matter how far, it would be more than that price, provided its normal school documents you are sending not a tuber of yam. Lol ! In my view, the service they render in this respect is worth more than the price they are charging. Yes! Oooooooo Cos if na DHL and co, hmmmmmm! U go pay like 13500. Although, I won't deny that dhl and the likes are faster. My point is the issue of your mail not getting to its destination is over in NIPOST of Today. What ever it is, it must reach its destination. I have sent stuffs to finland and it got there 10-15 days for just 650 .... Chai , e sweet me well well ooooo... Something fedex say is 15,500, dhl said 17,500. I come dey try make dem understand say I just dey apply for admission , say I never get am oooo... The officers replied clearly, "WE KNOW, BUT THAT'S THE PRICE" 1 Like |

I've never had any dealings with Nipost until last year November when I ordered some items from China which were delivered to my doorsteps. in fact they even called me to tell me it had arrived and will be delivered to me.
