wharf rats they call them, but to me the devil's workshop they are! What on Earth should be the explanation of breaking the glass someone's van (bus), just to steal some some products? This happened to me only recently (last week); the back glass was totally broken off, and about 25 pieces of the product (LCD and PLASMA all the way from the United Kingdom) stolen. Side mirror removed, and the ignition key totally destroyed! What on earth could be the reason for this unkind attitude towards a fellow human? The products are misunderstood be gotten at cheap prices here (UK), which is far from the truth. I weep for the country, because nothing seems to be working in her favour! I advice, the house to learn from my lesson and avoid such mistake ( or what ever it may be called). |

Sorry, but I'm not very clear on what happened to you. Hope you can make up the losses asap. |

glowithdan: So sad and i do hope things get better for us in Nigeria. as an advice,make sure a copy of bill of lading reach your clearing agent much before the arrival of the vessel conveying your vehicle. That way he would be able to safe guard your items. Sorry for your loss. |

this sucks, were your goods stolen in Nigeria? perhaps that should be the responsibility of the buyer. Next time try getting him to pay half before you ship. Maybe only take responsibility for getting it safely to the port. good luck, sorry for your loss. you edited your post: damn, so they broke into your car at the port? thats rediculous Nigeria is getting so messed up. |

@ all: Thanks for your concern! I have always known the activities of the wharf rats in Lagos, thus the bus was properly secured ( weldded at every angle here in the UK before exported); but never known the antics of these boys has gone these far as breaking off a whole back glass of a Van, just to steal. I begin to wonder where the courage comes from in defending one's country's image abroad, when things like this happens to crusaders like us, It's really a pity, such things still happen under the very nose of government officials. The country I believe still have a very long way to go! @ Anada:I will advice you ply your trade elsewhere, becouse I won't blink an eye in hunting and putting you behind bars for years! Be careful. |

My brother sorry ooo. But next time make sure that the B of L gets to u'r agent on time. Also how honest is your agent? some of them will actual be the culprit, and not the wharf rats as they may want you to believe |
