mintyx: Want to show fellow Nairanlanders how to shop in America and have it delivered to your doorstep BY YOURSELF without going through any company or Agents.

Two major challenges encountered by Nigerians trying to buy goods from the US is

#1 Not having a Debit card accepted internationally and

#2 Not having a US address since most Merchants dont like shipping directly to Nigeria.

HOW TO GET AN INTERNATIONALLY ACCEPTED DEBIT CARD.

For those of you who already have Payoneer mastercard, there is no need applying for another. But if you dont already have, follow STRICTLY the steps below to get one.

Step 1, click on this link and click on apply to initiate the process of getting getting your card. http://share.payoneer-affiliates.com/a/clk/107FPq

NB: - you will need either international passport or driving licence or national ID card to apply so keep it handy.

- use ur laptop or computer to click on the link as it may not open on your BB or Android browser.

- make sure you provide valid info about yourself and while writing your address use this format:
Ur name
The adress
State
Country.

For instance if you are using your office address and the adress is
Sync computers
No 28 alao street
Egbeda
Lagos
Nigeria

Just remove the name of your working place and put your name instead and write it this way:

John Owusu,
No 28 alao street
Egbeda
Lagos
Nigeria.

Observe this strictly or it will be rejected! Dont use C/o also.

When your done with the application, you will be notified and your card will be sent in a month FREE OF CHARGE. Pls if you dont need this card, dont abuse it by applying since its free of charge.

HOW TO GET A US ADDRESS.

Visit http://www.myus.com/en/landing?aid=1003353 and click join.

Select the standard option and it costs only one time standard payment of $10. They accept GTbank naira mastercard and once you link it to your account, the naira equivalent of the $10 will be deducted from there at the current exchange rate at the time of transaction.

If you dont want to link your GT mastercard, you can wait for your payonner card to arrive, load it and you can now use it for myus. I strongly recommend this option. When you are done, a US adress will be given to you.

Finally, when you have all these and you want to shop for instance at Amazon, all you need do is to load your payoneer card from your GTb account, use it to pay for whatever you want, and when the column for you to enter your address comes up, enter the address given to you by MYus and when they recieve your goods, they will notify you via email and you then give them the nigeria adress to ship your stuff. They are reliable, have wonderful customer care and relationship, accredited in America and quite fast. They use DHL and i have recieved a laptop i once orderd within working days!

I will be pleased to answer any question as much as i can because This is a free info i'm not beign paid for

Can't Someone Register For Payoneer Master Card without getting that Done through Affiliated link.....??

For those who Registered and got the Card themselves Directly without the Affiliated agent will they also be subjected in Funding their Card Also through Affiliated Agent...??

Pls why is the shipping price calculation page on the myus so complex? Cant i just put 1kg or 2kg as d weight and get the shipping price? Also, Pls the product u shipped via myus wats d weight like; and hw much did myus charge?

wealthinfos: Tnx for the price calculation explanation. But am sory d prices are unbearable. So u mean after registering with $10 with myus; & maybe i buy a laptop so i will hv to pay another $61 to myus to ship it down to Nigeria?

Now based on my vast experience in the shopping online business, you can easily shop online on some websites and pay with your Local bank Naira Master/Visa cards but the bank I am happy to use their debit Naira Mastercard is Stabic-IBTC Bank. I opened my account with the bank purposely because of the online shopping experience I learnt of from my brother. I believe I've help a little with this little contributions.

pastorPETER:
Thanks for Your Detailed Response there, but i solely Have to Quote this particular Phrase of Yours as You made a Recommendation about the Using of Stanbic ibtc Mastercard, based on Your Experience as Regards Online shopping Business....i must tell You have being in Search all these while for the best naija Online Mastercard to Use albeit have heard of GT Naira mastercard also uba Africard, please Would You please throw more light about Your experience using stanbic ibtc mastercard and the Requisite pace in getting the card. Thanks

solbash11:

My experience using Stanbic IBTC Bank Naira MasterCard is Satisfactory, because every Orders I've placed with my Debit card from different websites/marketplace [b](i.e Amazon,Ebay,Ali-express,Plimus, Google checkout sites like Zappos,Macy's,eastbay)[/] gets processed and shipped without any delay whatsoever. There's no issue of Token generation before the payment get processed from the card as compared with the GTbank debit Naira Mastercard which I also have in my possession.

Now there is no special Requisite pace in getting the card, just walk into any nearest branch of the bank around you and open an account with them. Fill the ATM Request form make sure it's the Debit Naira Mastercard. You will get your card not more than 2 - 4 weeks at most and you are good to start using it to shop online. I hope this message helps once again.

pastorPETER: One Question Actually Came to My Mind Just Now, going through the link Provided by the Op to Sign Up for the Payoneer Master card, quite Glarring it's an Affiliate Link...My Question Now is
Can't Someone Register For Payoneer Master Card without getting that Done through Affiliated link.....??
Secondly, since the only way to Fund Payoneer as at Moment is via their Affiliated Agent. For those who Registered and got the Card themselves Directly without the Affiliated agent will they also be subjected in Funding their Card Also through Affiliated Agent...??
Thanks.

Tonjeola1:
Do you mean, you used it to shop on Ebay?
how is their charges like? $1 to #?

pastorPETER: I Appreciate the Fact that You didn't Under Estimate Clarity in Your Response........ I think that's worth Trying, i'll do just that and feedback the entire house with how the experience was like...! Thanks a bunch"

solbash11:

They charge around $1 to N157 -N159. Currently their western union exchange rate is $1 to N157.


You're most welcome to give them a try and share ur experience with us here.

Tonjeola1:
Do you used it on ebay?

mintyx:

Your question is kinda confusing! You can use your GTb mastercard or your payoner mastercard to get myus adress. You dont have to visit GTbank to do that. You will have to fill your account info online!

solbash11: Hello All ...
I'll love to assist you on this thread, first I commend the OP who created this topic. To begin with let me answer some of the latest questions asked...



Yes, that used to be possible because I got my 2nd card by visiting Payoneer home page directly & click on the "sign up for a card" link.
NOTE: Today my friend wanted to do that but he got this message from the website stating
"Action not allowed Temporarily, Ordering cards are not allowed at this time for this program."




As of now, you can only get your card funded through the payoneer affiliated agents like fiverr, odesk, clickbank etc via ACH deposits,
Meaning you cannot load funds into the card directly from your GTbank M/card as stated previously by the OP.
Except if you are withdrawing funds from your PayPal account Into the US Payment Service virtual Bank account attached to your Payoneer Mastercard but you'll have to activate that properly.



Friend getting the shipping price calculation on myus website is not that complex. In fact I did that just now by visiting their homepage and click on the ship globally link. Then click on the shipping rates link and you will be presented with the shipping calculator on the page. Then fill in d required fields i.e
Shipping from - choose United States
Shipping to - choose Nigeria
Weight - select Kg
Pkg Dimensions - leave blank
MyUS Member - choose ur subscription plan
Click on the blue "show comparison button."
Do that now and you'll see that the shipping rates per 1Kg for Standard subscripton are:

Ship Via Est. Delivery Ship Cost
DHL Express 1-4 days $61.37
FedEx Priority 1-4 days $62.72
FedEx economy 5-10 days $55.36

Now based on my vast experience in the shopping online business, you can easily shop online on some websites and pay with your Local bank Naira Master/Visa cards but the bank I am happy to use their debit Naira Mastercard is Stabic-IBTC Bank. I opened my account with the bank purposely because of the online shopping experience I learnt of from my brother. I believe I've help a little with this little contributions.

solbash11:

You're absolutely correct. Although the service rendered by myus seems to be nice but charges rate you'll incurr using them is on the high side.

Technically speaking, what they offer is their address where you can ship your items to in the US and they charge you for that with their subscription plans depending on which one you choose, then they will give your items to courier services like DHL,FedEx etc to ship over to Nigeria on your behalf, thus you need to clear the items urself at the lagos office of the courier company you settle for. You'll be asked to pay for customs clearing which in some cases are so outrageous, for example a friend was asked to pay N33,000 for 5kg item for clearing after paying shipping of $137. The point is get an agent to clear your items upfront before FedEx Nigeria or dhl Nigeria gets a hold of it.

Now let me introduce to you a better and cheaper alternative option you can use to go about your online shopping business and I'm talking about the services we offer at
Prime-Link Global Commuications....

I hope this message helps once again.

Bros, i assume u made a mistake or slip of finger by adding that you shop with Stanbic's card on Ebay. Please confirm if it was a slip of finger or sleep typing.

solbash11:
Unfortunately Not at this time. You need PayPal to make payments on Ebay, or try a foreign bank Issued credit/Debit card.

Thanks bro for sharing your experience wiypth us, can you please share with us what makes Stanbic's card more unique for online shopping experience? I am currently using my GTB mastercard for my online transactions and Jesus is still proud of me. Share your new exceptional experience please.

debco: Will GTB naira mastercard work on zappos,macy etc as you mentioned above. I have my token activated already and have used to shop on a uk site already? Please clerify if I can use it on the above mentioned sites.

solbash11:
You should have carefully check my previous post to noticed that I've made correction on that as you can see below:


We really appreciate your questions. We're currently working on the issue of putting up our website, and our Esteemed clients are people like you who invested their Trust in our services and we strive Never to dissappoint them. A Trial will convince you about our services.


If your GTB Mastercard is working for you & making Jesus proud of you then keep using it in order not to dissappoint him . I only made reference to the Stanbic Bank Naira MC in order to help folks who might be experiencing difficulties while shopping online with their Debit card issued by other Nigerian Banks.
Let me share my brother's case with you who tried to place an order on aliexpress & some other websites with his GTB Naira mastercard but his order was cancelled. So he called GTConnect to lodge his complaint Noting the he's already bought & activated his Token for the card and having enough balance to cover his transaction, But he was told to get a Dollar Mastercard instead!
He later transferred the funds into my own Stabic IBTC Bank savings account and placed the order on aliexpress with my own Naira mastercard and the order was processed immediately & shipped without any further delay. Now I'm not saying that Stanbic Bank is the best but I'm only sharing my experience with the house regards shopping online & making payment with my own Nigerian Bank-issued debit card.


Yes go ahead and place your order there with your GTB Naira mastercard. I've placed several orders on websites that uses Google Checkout to process cards.

I hope this piece of information helps once again, Happy Sunday to you All.
