Ecommerce Business Owners - What Shipping You Use For Your Business? by chinnyonwu(m): 9:29pm On May 01, 2020 |
Good evening my fellow business people, I sell cake tools online and operate from Aba. I use God is Good logistics and Nipost to send orders to my customers outside the state1. GIGL has the issue of being too expensive.. Imagine someone paying shipping of 3k for a little item he bought 3k? Nipost has the issue1 of general unseriousness (no standardised shipping rates) .. I'm curious to know if there are more affordable shipping options out there that i am not aware of? What do you use for your business? |

emperorblog21: You have to be able to trust the drivers which is not that easy. The Op should cut a deal with NIPOST based on the volume of packages she will be sending through the government owned postal company. NIPOST will be cheaper than other courier or logistics companies in Nigeria. OP can also try Tranex NG. www.tranex-ng.com Cheers. 1 Like |

chinnyonwu: Since you are not sending what could be stolen.... Go to park, Make sure you give the particular driver going to the destination you are sending the item. To avoid stress and issues with customers, don't use a driver whose final destination isn't that of your customer. 1 Like |

mayorall: This is the most plausible and cost-effective mode you can use. More so, if you are not doing payment on delivery. It becomes difficult if you are offering POD, in which case, your chances of getting your money are 25%, which for me is not worth it. As adviced, go to any major park, get hold of the driver going to the location (town or city), strike a bargain (usually from N1000/1500 upwards depending on proximity to Lagos). This is faster than using courier, and cheaper as well. |

chinnyonwu: This is how I and others do ours. I have a bunch of a friends across different geopolitical zones that handles deliveries. We send it to them, they pick up from the park and deliver to our buyers. That way, returns are duly managed. Technically it is more expensive by extra 1500 to 2000 but it is more profitable this way and minimizes returns. |

naijacutee: Sorry, didn't know how to reach you. You only closed Binary options thread and left 'Forex' and 'Football bet' threads. According to your screenshot, He listed Forex, binary options, crypto and football bet as prohibited... But you closed binary and left others. Sad! |

cybug: You know what, you are right. A while ago, there was an argument about this. I have to agree with you - let me speak with my other mods but the same rules should apply to everyone. Let's create a separate thread for this. Discussion thread: https://www.nairaland.com/5834918/permanent-closure-banned-topic-threads |
