Okattamgbee: Good morning and happy Sunday to you all. I am planning to use Base 1 logistics this week but have not heard people talking about them recently. Are they still in business? If yes, how is their service. Thanks.

Tested and trusted. However I lost their contact due to my own personal data loss. but be careful when using them sending battery items.

can someone post his contact. using above laid format.

thanks

Okattamgbee: Sir, sending China address in chinese format via the message center is not supported by aliexpress.

this is your answer. Note image should be JPeg format

larrysng: It true Aliexpress does not allow any other language than English but as you can see from the image used as example that the address was uploaded as a picture. You have to convert the address to image with paint (its usually comes with window). If you can't do it this way you can give the seller the English translation of the address except if the seller does not understand English very well.

Okattamgbee: Sir, sending China address in chinese format via the message center is not supported by aliexpress.

Please @ All lets leave this thread and ove over to the new thread.

Due to the data attack on nairaland. these thread have suffered a mojor setback. e.g wrong , outdated infos about logistic companies.

Lets all go to the new thread

[size=16pt]www.nairaland.com/1819824/newly-found-freight-agent-china[/size]

Method of calculating money to pay to your shipping coy.

For example If your goods weigh let say 3.5kg. and cost of express freight. $8/kg + #450/kg.
Waybill china-to-Nigeria: $8 * 3.5= $24 * 165(assumed exchange rate)= #4620
Custom-clearance: #450 * 3.5= #1575
Total amount to be paid for 3.5kg = #6195

The same procedure applies to Normal and Express method of shipping. Same procedure applies to goods weighing less than 1

Explanation of logistics terms

1. Way Bill: Cost of transporting goods from 1 location to another. E.g.
-If the cost of transporting cement from China to Nigeria. We can safely say waybill from china to Nigeria is $8.
-If cost of transporting goods from Lagos to Abuja is #2000 We can safely say waybill for Lagos to Abuja is #2000
2. Freight: Means Transport. We have Air Freight( well known as shipping by plane ) , Sea Freight ( known as shipping by sea)
3. Demurrage: Money paid to freight companies for storing goods not picked at a standard date. E.g if your goods arrived Nigeria today and you didn’t pick it today you went there the next day, you will pay demurrage.
