Have I Just Been Scammed By A Shipping Company? by JaySmart4422: 8:19pm On Nov 10, 2023
I imported an item from China 7 pieces of clothes ,5 babies 2 adult
All 2kg
Company: ski current logistics
The shipping company I contacted
gave me their price which says 2kg n above is 9.1 USD.

I was very concerned about the price

So to clear my doubt I called them via a voice call to verify the shipping cost again
And I was told that 2kg is 9.1 USD.

Then I proceed in fact I sent them the money to purchase the item for which I paid for this service
It's my first time importing n I told them.

So everything I spent was 39,400
Now the item arrived Nigeria and they called me to pay 23,573 to collect my item.

I asked why they said the price they gave me was per kg which is not true.
I feel this is scam cos I was very careful about the shipping cost n called them twice to be sure.

Now they they refused to release my item that I must pay 23,575
Over an item of 39,400.

Please if you have experience i will love to hear you .

About 7 pieces of clothes

5 for 8 month old 2 for adult

I wanted to go into importation business so I was told to ship just little just to know how it works.

I even told the shipping company is my first time.

I am saying you should check that they are really a genuine company, because this there format looks like a deliberate scam ... usually they should send you an invoice before you make payments as well as reciept for payment and everything would have been stated clearly...

No shipping company would bill you that low for 2kg. Last time I ordered from China, my shipper billed me $8.5 per Kg.

Maybe you were told PER kg
This company did not put it this way
They said 9.1 USD 2kg and above

If only they said 9.1 USD per kg
I will know if to proceed or not

Hmmmmm, 9.1 USD 2kg and above means 9.1 multiply by 2kg. Is the coy the owner of the ship or plane that it will charge a flat rate for anything above 2kg? What if your goods is taking half of a cargo space in terms of weight, will it still be 9.1kg
Btw, I noticed you have been answering everyone but evasive on the coy name, it's appears as if you are the scammer or you are planning such scam, there is no excuse in shielding the coy if your story is true
Re: Have I Just Been Scammed By A Shipping Company? by GreenWorld: 2:07am On Nov 11, 2023
This is not a scam. Shipping of non battery goods from China to Lagos cost about $8.5 per kg. There's is slightly higher. Please note that cost of item you purchase has nothing to do with cost of shipping. You can buy item of $1 weighing 1kg, you will still be charged $8.5 to ship it.

You are a fool who doesn't know how to read

I said it was my first time which I told the shipping company.

They never told me they bill per kg
Neither did they mentioned to me that 9.1 USD is per kg.
I called on phone to be sure of shipping cost they told me 2kg n above is 9.1
In fact I sent them the money to buy this item for me cos I don't want to make mistake still they could not tell me they bill per kg , they made it look as if 2kg is 9.1 USD.

It may interest you to know that what I bought is just 7 pieces of clothes mostly for babies.

I brought this issue here cos I want
To Learn from people n yes I answered everyone cos I want to learn them.

How are mine sure you are not one of them who deceive people.
You are the real scammer.

It may also interest you to know that I won't be paying to pick up the item they can keep it.

My item is just 2kg
I spent a total of 39,400 including their hired services

Now am asked to pay 23,750 to pick it up, if include money for dispatch rider maybe a total of 30k.

The name of this company is ski current logistics.
If you are the owner shame on you.

To even start your statement with an insult shows how intelligent and smart you are.
Being a novice in a field or venture should not be equated to being unwise.
Btw, I don't own or work for a logistics coy involve in shipping, so seek elsewhere to vent your anger.
Finally, my parents never taught me to insult strangers, and my kids also know it's wrong to do such.
