fizzybaba:Not a hater and I am not trying to spoil his thread, I just didn't feel his estimates were correct and was trying to help. Someone asked for a car, I don't think the question was directed to anyone in particular. You can ask Bizbooks about the fx 45 , don't want to spoil his thread BizBooks:As for the pictures, any one can get pictures from craigslist and post them on here. You don't fool me. You said you get all your cars from Manheim. I will not argue with you, but i just hope you are for real and not one of those guys who spoil our name, both here and in Naija. Also you said you charge 300 bucks we both know that's a lie, the normal price I have seen almost all dealers charge is $500 and I am in chicago which is far bigger than Baltimore and has waayyyyyy cheaper taxes. If you are for real, give me the name of your dealership, I will look it up. |

hailolive:I think what I wrote, made sense to anyone who was open minded, there is nothing to be afraid of if he knows he is for real, a VIN will not give me an edge or anything, it will just allow me to find the cars faster. This is a forum to learn and selling cars on here will not stop him from selling his, I had an infiiti fx45 for sale and I told the guy to check it, that doesn't mean biz books can't get him a better deal. I have never even been on nairaland before this but I felt the vehicles were wrongly priced that was why I had to open an account to point somethings out. I wont be coming on here again, but I'll just advise anyone to double check before they pay huge amounts of money and get salvage cars in return (especially flood cars). America is a very big place and there are lots of naija peeps here selling cars, but some are very dishonest and this causes lots of dealers here not to want to deal with Nigerians.Those who have been doing this for a while know that his pricing is off but no wahala like we say , he is not fooling me, I don't need to sell cars on nairaland, did not even know about the site until yesterday. |

Will also like to apologize to biz books, I should not have said you are new to this, should have rephrased that statement. Not trying to discredit you and will love to do business with you in future. I sell cars to banks and companies, send me your email so I can contact you good luck. |
Re: Shipping A Car To Nigeria - A Diary (Now With Pictures). by darkman200: 5:13pm On Oct 12, 2011 |
@Yods1000 You might have meant well but i think you went about it the wrong way, bizbooks sounds reasonable enough and i applaud you for apologizing, it is not in naija peoples spirit to apologize even when they realize they might be wrong. It takes a great deal of maturity and civility on ur part to do that, so just ignore the rest of the people calling you haters. |

October 11, 2011: This SUV was delivered to Baltimore Port on Tuesday October 11, 2011. The vessel is scheduled to leave for Lagos on October 20, 2011. The US end of the operation is almost complete. I will provide further updates after October 20. |

@Yods, Think i enjoyed you 100% and like you said, their's enough space to accomodate everybodi and if you ain't got anything to hide, then flaunt it. Naija peeps need to be able to filter what is good and what is true. Would like to do business with you. Holla me @ lakinwole@yahoo.com |

Oct 21, 2011: I called the shipping company today. It turns out the vessel did not leave on the 20th as scheduled. New sailing date is November 3. Delays such as these are facts of life in the shipping business. That is one reason why I am reluctant to give 30 day delivery estimates on pre-orders.

November 8, 2011: I called the shipping company again today and they confirmed that this 2003 Toyota 4Runner made it on the vessel that left on the 2nd of November. Estimated arrival to Lagos is first week of December. |

BizBooks: THE CAR NEVER LAND? |
Re: Shipping A Car To Nigeria - A Diary (Now With Pictures). by BizBooks(m): 3:43pm On Dec 08, 2011 |
Da Doctor: Sorry, the 4Runner landed without incident about 10 days ago. It is now parked in Lagos awaiting it's journey to the East. |
Re: Shipping A Car To Nigeria - A Diary (Now With Pictures). by DaDoctor: 3:49pm On Dec 08, 2011 |
BizBooks: I OBSERVED THAT THIS ISSUE STARTED SINCE OCTOBER. TILL DATE. SO IT TAKES 2 MONTH OR SO TO SHIP A CAR? PLEASE CLARIFY. I AM LOST |
Re: Shipping A Car To Nigeria - A Diary (Now With Pictures). by BizBooks(m): 4:30pm On Dec 08, 2011 |
Da Doctor: The vehicle would have arrived a long time ago but the vessel was delayed. If you look at my comment for October 21 above, you will see that the vessel's departure date was moved from October 20 to November 3rd. In essence, the vehicle arrived 2 weeks late. My standard estimate for delivery to Lagos is 30 - 45 days. |

The issue of shipping cars from U.S to Nigeria is not an easy task as many people (customers) think. I made a shipment since 26th October and it is still not out of U.S yet. I just made another shipment just two weeks ago for three cars coming to Lagos. I have no idea when they are going to be shipped yet. I have been shipping cars and containers to Nigeria for years and it has always been like that. There is need to for customers to be very patient because when cars are shipped, there is possibilities of those cars waiting for U.S Customs clearance could be at the port for at least 45-60 days before they are loaded on to the vessels. I see all the time when the so called big dealers on nairaland promise to get cars shipped to Lagos within 45 days, which I believe is almost impossible. So there is need for customers to be patient. Your cars will get to Lagos eventually. |

payless: [b]It is POSSIBLE, as long as you are willing and ready to pay the clearing charges at Five Star terminal . . . . Grimaldi seems to be the good one, but for the ride to leave from America it is a pain in the butt. Shipping out of Canada is another thing too, cos the vessel has to transit via Spain and Spain is always busy these days . . . . but like you said, the most important thing is to educate your buyers as well as keep them posted. |

payless: Does this apply to the port of boltimore too?I order a FX45 through a friend and the car was sheduled to ship on 20 of last month,till date I am yet to get the bill on lading as all I hear is it will be out soon but the car is on it's way.what do u think to this Effect please. |
Re: Shipping A Car To Nigeria - A Diary (Now With Pictures). by Fhemmmy: 9:47pm On Dec 08, 2011 |
bravedude: Once the ride sailed and the list of rides on the vessel is out . . . within couple of days the BOL Must be ready, except if the shipping cost is yet to be paid. |

yods1000: I had already assumed you were attacking bizbooks to gain a rep on nairaland! a.k.a Guerilla Marketing. Best of luck. @Bizbooks please send a link of sundays auction to my mail. |
