a friend of mine wants to send me a laptop through the united states percel service to nigeria. I want to know how safe it is to claim it in the nigeria postal agency and the procedures involved in it. Pls advice me, he wud have used one of the private courier services like dhl or ups,but its very expensive and he doesnt have enough money to do that. Pls advice me on it or if there is any alternative he can take. Thanks

United State Parcel Service is a nice one with assurance of delivery but what it matters now is the time of delivery but if you can help him with some money so that he can send through dhl so that it can arrive so easily

whichever medium u use i will surely arrive Nigeria, but you have to note that it wont be delivered at ur house, you have to go pick it up at ur nearest post office. and you will be charged 10 percent tax on the value of ur package, i picked up a laptop last year march and april this year and i paid 19000 and 12000 respectively and it was thru DHL, thats the new law, SO prepare yourself well o

or tell him to send it through a Nigerian courier service, those that send goods to Nigeria regularly, you pick it from their office; some even do door to door, they pick it from your house and deliver it to the person's address

the Nigerian post will charge you otherwise to collect your goods
