Amazon is one of the most popular online shopping platforms globally, but many items on Amazon US or UK aren’t directly available for shipping to Nigeria. Still, there are smart and reliable ways to get those items delivered to your doorstep. Here’s how:
1. Use a Freight Forwarding Service
These companies give you a UK or US shipping address that you can use at checkout. Once Amazon ships the item to that address, the forwarder sends it to you in Nigeria.
Popular Freight Forwarders:
- MyUS
- Shipito
- Heroshe
- Shoptomydoor
Steps:
- Sign up with the freight forwarder.
- Use their warehouse address as your Amazon shipping address.
- Once the item arrives at the warehouse, pay for shipping to Nigeria.
- Track your shipment.
2. Use Nigerian-Based Shopping Services
Some logistics companies based in Nigeria offer a “buy-for-me” service. They help you purchase from Amazon and handle the shipping process entirely.
Top Services Include:
- Mall for Africa
- Shoptomydoor
- Heroshe
These platforms are convenient if you don’t want to use your card directly on Amazon or handle the logistics yourself.
3. Consolidate Orders to Save Money
If you’re ordering multiple items, most freight forwarders allow you to consolidate them into a single package. This reduces overall shipping costs and import charges.
4. Confirm Delivery Time & Tracking
Always go with a service that provides full tracking and delivery time estimates. Most forwarders offer options for both air and sea freight.
