    • I’ve used Mall for Africa and they work fine 4 me… Lighter items take less time with them but as always, the more the items shipped, the cheaper the spread shipping cost

        • MyUs and Mall for Africa are both good, but I actually just tried out a company called Transthat NG for making purchases from both the US and UK last month.
          They delivered both my items to Nigeria for only N9,000 within 2weeks; the only thing was that I had to go pick up the items at their office. I would strongly recommend them too.
