While Nigeria stores online have their advantage, the advantages derived from online stores located in the U.S. can not be compared to those online stores in Nigeria and these include but not limited to buying new and used items at very cheap and affordable rates.

How To Buy On Any Online Store In U.S. (Amazon, eBay, Bestbuy, Walmart Etc )And Ship To Nigeria

There are several ways this can be done but we would prefer using a dollar master card or naira master to buy from eBay and Amazon, though, naira master card has limitations of $100 per month spending.

This naira card limitation is no longer a problem as Amgray Logistics has made payment easy. They can help you purchase your items on any online store in the U.S. like Amazon,eBay, BestBuy, Walmart, etc and you pay in naira equivalent. This method is better because the currency seen on their site is USD.

Amgray: how to get a free US warehouse address to ship from the USA to Nigeria

It’s so heartbreaking the horror experience most mini importers had with several freight and forwarding companies in the U.S, even the ones that claimed they can render swift delivery services(5-7 working days) ends up taking up to 2- 3months before goods are delivered. Some end up been a fraudulent shipping company and claimed that items were fraudulently purchased and ends up been seized.

After various attempts of using different logistics companies to bring goods from the U.S.to Nigeria and they all failed, I bombed the internet looking for a company to bring down some items like phones and computer accessories.

I came across Amgray logistics and I did research about them and I check their Instagram and Facebook pages adding with their Google reviews. I was satisfied with what I saw. Though I was skeptical about their services, I called their contact number, it was the Abuja office in Rock Of Ages Mall, Jabi and I visited. I discovered they have ocean service which I already have in mind to use in shipping my car in the nearest future. I was asked to register on Amgray Logistics.

I purchased my first apple product (used iPhone 7 plus) for $300 at the rate of N360 per dollar and some computer accessories like lithium items on eBay.

The sellers shipped and some of the items delivered on Wednesday and Thursday. “At times, you will need to remind the seller to ship on time via eBay message so that item will get to the warehouse before Friday”.
On Friday night, I received an update from Amgray that my item has been shipped via email

They promised 2 – 3 working days shipping from the USA to Nigeria and that they ship every Friday in a week.

I got a message from Amgray Logistics to make a payment on Thursday that my item has arrived Lagos Nigeria and ready for pick up and I called immediately because I stay in Abuja, it was the Lagos Office in Ikeja, Computer Village. I frighten though I was informed that my item will be waybill to Abuja through air flight at no extra cost, I couldn’t believe it until I went to the Amgray office in Abuja for pickup.
I got my item delivered to me on the 5th working day been Thursday which I felt was fair enough.
