Anyone ??

Hello and Goodafternoon

As the post is titled I need advice from people experienced in importing goods from asian countries - india, china, malaysia etc.
I'm based in the UK and my younger brother whos in naija has asked me to help in buying goods - laptops, netbooks, tablets, etc from china and the rest, send to him in naija and he can sell them to make a bit of pocket money with the intention of starting a business.

So my question is/are

Should I order and have it delivered direct to him in naija or
Order it have it delivered to me here in Uk and then forward it to him via DHL, Fedex or UPS
(Ideally id prefer not to have to pay for several delivery charges, but if its necessary then so be it)

Is it possible to use a clearing/forwarding company like MyUS? Does anyone have any experience with them or can you suggest a UK alternative?

How do people get round customs?
I like the idea of having an agent that will deal with the forwarding and custom clearing process and my brother can meet and collect from their agent in naija.

Any advice/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless!
