Iโm currently experiencing this. Yesterday, i received a text message from DHL to make payment of just 1 used iphone 15 and charger that was sent to me. The amount to be paid is #747,016. I donโt understand, if i had such money, i would have gotten a phone from here. Dont know what to do |

sw24: It is the customs attached to the courier that does this. They are usually on the watch out for firearms, hard drugs but since there is a scarcity of these and like police they need money for upkeep, they usually place such crazy bills. Do not be afraid. Don't fall for any gimmicks or explanations they make. Go with what you have. Example if they bill One Million Naira, go with 100k tell them that's what you have and stand your ground. They will accept it. I've done this over 30 times so I know Be free with them when you get there. Don't show fear or naivety.. You are dealing with Customs attached with the courier not the courier per se. That amount is to draw you physically to visit their location to negotiate how much you want to pay. 1 Like |

Jefferyzz:Unfortunately, that's just the gospel truth. Even If the sender recall it, since it is in custom's warehouse, she will have to pay the import duty first before it will be waybilled back to her. I had this same horrible experience last month. It was a frustrating experience, but at the end, I did collect my stuff. Drop your contact let me link you up or your twitter handle let me chat you with evidence of my cleared stuffs 1 Like |

You dont know Nigeria government that is why you are talking like this Same thing happened to me, i even sent the receipt of the purchase from amazon, they refused and insisted that i must pay 473k to clear my goods. They extimated my goods to be 600 pounds, everything is even less than 180. viqSmallz: |

Mumibaby: I know them and how terrible they can be, but I have also seen people who have successfully corrected this. I recently had to pay 1.2m for something I was to pay about 800k for. I paid because the package was urgent for a health purpose, if not I would have dragged it. I already sent a protest letter to the Area Comptroller, my loss anyway. Things don't work as they are supposed to |

Except you are buying "Used Ones" . If you're buying new ones, there's that certainty that you'll buy a substandard item. Items that are shipped directly to Nigeria has quality compromise. Remember we have useless regulatory agencies here. Nwagukosy: 1 Like |

FuckSilly: Bro, if shipped by a company customs don't search the contents individually, rather the give you a fair charge than individual sending to their loved ones. You will even loose some items . I'm telling you out of experience |
