mr swagger: Hello house, I hail all the gurus in da house, my guy Bigfrancis, imperiouxx, kpolli and everyone in da house

Please I intend receiving my i-20 from Minnessota state university, Mankato and the school said I can receive it through fedEx or DHL by signing up to eshipglobal.

After i signed up to eshipglobal, I couldn't proceed in knowing the rate of my shipment because the system said I entered an invalid address.

I correctly wrote out my home and email address but it still gives me the same error.

I also saw on their website that they don't accept credit cards from Nigeria.
I just don't know what to do now.

My sponsor tried getting a US contact for me but all efforts proved abortive so I intend receiving my i-20 package by eshipglobal.

I don't want to use regular mail to receive my document because the school said it will take 3-6 weeks before it gets to me but I even think it might even take longer than that and that is suicide.

Pls who in the house has used eshipglobal or anyone having the same issues with me should please guide me through. I need your help.

See ba, I had the same issues with eshipglobal when I wanted to receive my I-20 from Moorhead. At first it was the address ish and later the credit card too. I was so angry that I sent them a very blunt email that they should cease being the school's courier agent if they won't accept credit cards from Nigeria.

It is very annoying, if I could pay the school's application fee with my credit card without any problem, then why can't I pay for the delivery of my I-20 from the same school with that same card?.

So my brother, the best option You have is to look for a US address for the school to mail your I-20 to and then get it mailed from there with Fedex.

I even searched and searched for a pick-up arrangement during my time, but I did'nt get any but You can search on google too sha. You could get lucky.

Schedule a pick up with any courier service here in nigeria and give them the schools address but try and make sure you call their kearnery international office first and inform them about your plans on how you wish to get the I-20 from them..i used TNT then for mnsu and they delivered my I-20..

Have you confirmed if your I-20 is ready for postage? If yes, ask if they can send it out through overnight postage (USPS), I can help you collect it and bring it with me to Nigeria if that is convenient for you.

@Gboyega, many thanks for your help. May the good lord reward you.

The i-20 package is not ready for shipment, but as soon as I give them a go ahead they will process it within 2-3 days.

When are you coming to Nigeria?

Here is my email - kellysilver2015@yahoo.com.

Can I have yours as well so we could talk better.

I will contact the school to ask them if they can send it though overnight postage USPS.

If they do, will they require any address and name of the person who will pick it up?

Thanks bro, waiting for your ancipated response.

See ba, I had the same issues with eshipglobal when I wanted to receive my I-20 from Moorhead. At first it was the address ish and later the credit card too. I was so angry that I sent them a very blunt email that they should cease being the school's courier agent if they won't accept credit cards from Nigeria.

It is very annoying, if I could pay the school's application fee with my credit card without any problem, then why can't I pay for the delivery of my I-20 from the same school with that same card?.

So my brother, the best option You have is to look for a US address for the school to mail your I-20 to and then get it mailed from there with Fedex.

I even searched and searched for a pick-up arrangement during my time, but I did'nt get any but You can search on google too sha. You could get lucky.




Thanks Olarwalay, I appreciate your kind gesture towards helping me succeed. I will check on google to see if I will see a pick up arrangement.

@Gboyega, many thanks for your help. May the good lord reward you.

The i-20 package is not ready for shipment, but as soon as I give them a go ahead they will process it within 2-3 days.

When are you coming to Nigeria?

Here is my email - kellysilver2015@yahoo.com.

Can I have yours as well so we could talk better.

I will contact the school to ask them if they can send it though overnight postage USPS.

If they do, will they require any address and name of the person who will pick it up?

Thanks bro, waiting for your ancipated response.

I am leaving for Nigeria next weekend. Just tell them to process it.
