Isheep. But seriously you could have purchased from Nigerian online stores. The custom duty is too high. |

You coughed out a whopping 400k for phone. Why cry over mere 81k? You think we care about your ordeal? We have enough problems to deal with abeg. |

That’s the day light robbery these shipping companies do I’m conjuction with customs and atimes DSS, especially DHL, you need to pay and next time have the shipper insure the item over there, then declare total worth to be less than half the actual price, they can never open it and will only charge you based on the amount declared, those people are ripping off Nigerians everyday. I had an experience with DHL last year and at a point there were saying the items need to be cleared with DSS, I ended up paying extra 50k plus the 115k they charged me. I got wiser after that. |

Its really Crazy, Lost an Iphone 6s Plus few year ago to customs at UPS.... Even after so much complains nothing was done.... 1st it showed it was with held by customs, after days.. It showed delivered.. and no UPS bike or Bus came close to my house to make delivery. DHL, Fedex, UPS are all scams. If NDLEA no seize packages at random. Customs would. Its really annoying because there isn't any standard to this. You can have two packages containing the same item, one wld be seized and the other wouldn't... Seizure are done at random... When inspecting packages, once they see they can profit from it.. They hold it back. Next time use shoptomydoor, impex and co, cheaper but slow but you would get it.. NEVER Try Fedex, UPS, DHL.. Don't mind that rubbish bill sent via Fedex.. Visit their office at Isolo and you can negotiate price |

i experienced this like last month, so ama tell you what happened broski. I got a camera and its lens for 1800 cad and and a small samsung 64gb for 200 cad, where i started having issue was when i couldn't get a third party company to help ship from Canada, i ended up going to DHL, I was charged 401 cad bro, it got to Naija , I was told I gotta clear with 120k naira, I was like wtf bruh...lol. I ended up meeting someone that helped put a call through to beat down the price all the way to 50k. Mehn after that my eye clear bro. Still searching for third party company to help move items, that's what is keeping me from doing importation biz. So I feel your pain. Another thing I want to ask is, how sure are you the iphone X you got is not CLONED IPHONE X you will find it so hard to differentiate between the real thing and the fake with their latest improvement on the fake. Another reason why I can't buy iphones. samsung is quite easier to spot but not quite for an untrained eye. #VictoryisFromGodAlone 2 Likes |

Lol, i was always of the impression that someone who can afford an iphone X shouldn't be one to complain about taxes. what will you do if you ever break it's screen coz it will cost about 40% of the phone's original price. |

wandeay: My uncle once had to pay about 12k duties on a phone his friend sent to him as a gift from the U.S. I have never had to pay duties because I used a thirdparty logistic firm not FEDEX or the likes of DHL. There are several of these firms that bring in stuff at a way cheaper rate and without these unsavory stories. Shipping cost through them for a phone wouldnt even be up to 8k. |

wandeay:That's how they do, it's a scam. If truly it's the custom duty, then tell them you have to pay to remita, which is the official means of payment to any government parastaters. I think it's high time we stand against all this attitude of the private companies in Nigeria by extorting us. 1 Like |

wandeay: Next time contact me to help you ship your items from the US. You'd have paid only N5500 for your IPhone X. Its suicide shipping high value items directly from Merchant to Nigeria. You'll be extorted. I ship from the US and UK every week at Cheap rates. Delivery is 7 days. You can check my profile, iv been here for over 12 years. I'm very sad when I hear these kind of stories when there are incredibly cheaper options. Even shoptomydoor and Co are still way too expensive. 4 Likes |

I read through this thread and I'm disappointed with the replies Nigerians are just so wicked and unreasonable I think it's frustration It's not so difficult to say, "oh, if you had been well informed, you wouldn't have shipped it directly, these third party guys do it fast and way cheaper, I recommend Bleep person" Nawa I'm not really experienced in this stuff but I know friends that import weekly for reasonable costs and I will never try these big courier companies Sorry OP 3 Likes |
