AfreecartHow do I ship a package from Nigeria to the UK or abroad?
How Afreecart's Ship Request works, from creating your request in the app to the final quote, insurance and delivery times of 5–14 business days internationally.
To ship a package from Nigeria abroad with Afreecart, create a Ship Request in the app and follow the instructions Afreecart sends you for getting your package to us. You then pay the final quote we send within 24 hours of the package arriving. International delivery typically takes 5–14 business days, and packages worth up to $1,000 are automatically insured.
How does a Ship Request work?
- Create a Ship Request in the app with the package details, origin and destination.
- Choose who pays for delivery: you (the sender) or the receiver.
- Follow Afreecart's instructions: after you create the request, Afreecart sends you the next steps for getting your package to us.
- Get your quote: within 24 hours of the package arriving, Afreecart sends the final quotation to whoever is paying.
- Approve and pay: open the ship request, tap Approve Quote and pay through Flutterwave.
- Dispatch and tracking: the package is dispatched after payment, and Afreecart adds tracking and a delivery estimate to the request.
Only you and the receiver can see the request.
How much does it cost?
Every shipment gets its own quote once the package has arrived with Afreecart. If the quote doesn't look right, for example the price seems too high or the weight or dimensions are wrong, tap Request Changes before paying, pick a reason and add details. Afreecart reviews it and sends a revised quote. A quote that has already been paid can't be changed.
How long does shipping take?
| Route | Typical time |
|---|---|
| International (e.g. Nigeria to the UK, US or Canada) | 5–14 business days |
| Local (within the same country) | 2–5 days |
The exact delivery estimate appears on your request once it has been quoted.
Is my package insured?
Yes. Packages worth up to $1,000 sent through a Ship Request are automatically insured.
Can I also ship luggage or bulk goods?
Yes. Afreecart's freight and logistics services handle luggage shipping and bulk freight as well as single parcels, and sellers use the same services to send orders to buyers in the diaspora.
