Sending parcel to East Africa?

You weren't scammed on Ebay were you?

I hope you didn't ebay a mobile phone, and are now sending it to the winner *chuckle*

Hmm, no idea - I'd guess royal mail normal service though for the cheapest.

nigeria, by any chance?

we're an untrusting bunch.

Maybe it's a cousin

lol i was thinking the same as everyone else. Ebay scam?

Royal Mail no longer cover mobiles sent Airsure or Int Signed for.

Come on OP, put us out of our misery. Who bought it & from where ?

Payperdrop used to be good, I know some people had problems with them.... but on price they were the cheapest.

You could use agents that use couriers like DHL.... for international deliveries to Africa though, you'll probably be spending quite a lot.

Although like already mentioned, for a mobile phone (small package) - Royal Mail / Parcel Force should give you the best price.

some one won my auction in Amazon and now asking me to ship to Nigeria?..Is there any problem sending parcel to Nigeria?

There's no problem in sending a parcel to Nigeria....however it's extremely likely that they'll pay you using stolen bank/card details and the money will then be taken back out of your account...

Do you have the money?
I wouldn't touch nigeria with YOUR bargepole (which isn't saying much as you're already going there) .. but seriously - just re-list it and all that stuff.....

aghhhhhhh dont do it. Nigerians are the biggest scammers going.

My answer is the same as everyone else's - DON'T DO IT!!!!
An untrusting bunch we may be....but not without good reason!

When you relist it remember to put "will ship to UK only" on the listing!

If you're worried about offending the Nigerian, just write them a note along the lines of:

"I'm very sorry, but when I came to post the phone I found that my postal service will no longer insure mobile phones that are sent to Nigeria. In the event of an accident I wouldn't want you to have wasted your money, and it is therefore with deep regret that I feel obliged to relist my phone with shipping to the UK only. I apologise for this mix up, and look forward to dealing with you in the future."
