Pls house, can someone tell me how much is the demurrage per day for an EOD 2003 at the lagos Tin can. It arrived in Lagos about two weeks ago but have not got the bill of laden. I need to have an idea pls. Thanks

thanks men for your quick reponse. you guys are the reason why nairaland is no doubt a pool of information and resources. the bill of laden arrived yesterday and the agent had begun the clearing processes. i hope the demurrage won't be too high.

Hi guys;
The car has been cleared. It was cleared on Friday and my agent said the demurage amounted to N17,500.00. Not too bad for me. Thanks immensely for your responses.

Baba you are still sitting down calling and waiting? Na you be d real gentle man oo...Get your ass up and go find the bagger man!

Use another number to call him and tell him you got referred to him that you want to clear a car. Use a woman to make the call because such fraudulent men usually see women as easy pickings. Tell him you need clarity in some things so you also give him money. D guy go come then you catch am ask am Hafa!

My GOD...but how many days does really take to clear a cari called him last night he told me that he is waiting for custom to examine the car...that before today runs off i will get my car...should i give benefits of doubt

[quote author=Chingy250 post=72095754][/quote]

You seem to be a very trusting person unfortunately customs clearing agents are among the last persons you should trust.

For me, call him up for a meet... very important so he tells you whats up face to face

[quote author=bishopkay post=72102394]

Have done that he claims that customs are delaying to come inspect the car...that once they inspect the car i will get my delivery...that normally it takes 5 to 6 days to clear car..am like is that true today makes it 5days aside weekend thanks much for ya response i appreciate

Was it in a container or RoRo?[quote author=Chingy250 post=72107626][/quote]

Hello house,

One of my uncle has a container that has been placed on overtime and moved to ikorodu.

He is really trying to get the cars in the containers out before they are auctioned off.

Please does anyone have experience on how to get the cars out because this is a matter my uncle has been trying to resolve for months.
