Frequently Asked Questions
Which courier services operate in Nigeria?
Major logistics companies include DHL (premium), FedEx, UPS, Jumia Logistics, Kobo360, GIG Logistics, Red Star Express, DHL Express Nigeria, CourierPlus, and many local operators. GIG and Red Star are popular for intra-Nigeria shipments while DHL/FedEx handle international.
What is dimensional (volumetric) weight?
Couriers charge based on whichever is higher — actual weight or dimensional weight. Dimensional weight = (length × width × height in cm) ÷ 5,000. A large but light package might be charged at its dimensional weight. Always compare both when calculating shipping costs.
How do I reduce my shipping costs in Nigeria?
Use regional logistics hubs rather than door-to-door for cost savings. Consider batch shipping if sending multiple orders to the same city. Negotiate volume discounts with couriers once you ship regularly. Lightweight packaging reduces costs significantly.
Are these estimates accurate?
These are rough estimates based on typical market rates for 2024. Actual prices vary significantly by courier, route, fuel surcharges, VAT, and your negotiated rates. Always get quotes directly from couriers for exact pricing.
How long does intra-Nigeria shipping take?
Lagos to Abuja: 1–2 days express, 2–4 days standard. Lagos to Port Harcourt: 1–2 days. Lagos to Kano: 2–3 days express. Remote areas in the North or South-South can take 3–7 days. Same-city delivery in Lagos: same day or next day.
