If you
are a blogger or online shopper in Nigeria who loves buying from the United States and
you need a virtual US Address where you can receive your goods, books, cheques, magazines and almost anything that requires a delivery address within
USA. By now, you already know that getting a USA Address will surely cost you
some bucks and apart from that, you also have to pay for the shipping fee for
your stuffs to get to you in Nigeria.
Few
months ago, I stumbled upon a website where you can get a FREE USA virtual address
for yourself and I registered with them, although they were in their Beta stage (they
just started and they are letting new customers test their service) then. The
name of this website is ShippyMe. ShippyMe is a Shipping company which makes
shipping simple, convenient and affordable for Nigerians. From the comfort of
your home, you can shop and ship to the USA address that ShippyMe gives you and
your stuffs will be shipped to you here in Nigeria within 5-12 working days. Their
warehouse facility is located in New Jersey, USA and their Office is located in
Ikeja, Lagos.
Starting from today till September 15th, 2013.
ShippyMe will be offering discounted shipping rates of $3.41/kg for their Sea
Freight shipping option. This price is pretty okay for those who ship heavy
things from USA, do you have to buy and ship some stuffs from USA recently? Why
not try ShippyMe ? For full details, Registration and Activation of your USA

ReplyDeleteI've not tested it personally but I heard from some other Bloggers that their service is okay and satisfactory.. I'll be testing them soon.
DeleteI have used shippyme and it solid. Really easy to use and delivery is fast enough.
ReplyDeleteOkay, thanks for the confirmation. Please, can you enlighten us about your experience ? Within When did you get your goods, how much is the shipping cost ? etc Thanks
DeleteHi Ayo, Let me share my experience with you, it could help you in your decision making hoping it's not late though. The first time I used Shippyme was in August 2013, I bought some kitchen utensils I wanted to give my friend as part of her wedding gift. I did this 3weeks to the wedding date, too risky for me but I took it. Shippyme got my items to me in 14days inclusive of weekend, just one day to the wedding and I was so happy.
DeleteShortly after that, I shipped another package, this time a big one, it took them 21days, from their explanation, the airline were giving them delays so it affected my own package too. I wasn't so worried because I was not in hurry for the package. After the delay, I didn't ship again until January 2014.
My January experience was fantastic, very smooth and quick, I got my stuff within 7days, no one could bit that. I had a delivery to make for a contract I secured with a company and even DHL with their high pricing told me they can't deliver before my deadline but Shippyme did.
I have recommended them to many of my friends and business partners. Though sometimes they could be delays but I can comfortably use them over and over again.
About the cost of shipping, I have to be honest, it is fair compared to other vendors who offer the same kind of service. For the mere fact that I don't have to pay my way to anyones office, it is good enough price for my convenience. Their starting rate is at $6.9/lb now but you can enjoy as low as $4.25/lb depending on your volume.
Goodluck!!!
Wow !!! What an explanatory review from you Timi Emmanuel. Now, I feel like buying everything that comes my way online using Shippyme. But sincerely, I'll be using Shippyme for my next online purchase, I hope to see you drop some sensible and useful comments like this next time on this blog. Cheers !!!
DeleteI've made use of shippyme and I've found their services to be on time and very affordable. I switched to Shippyme a few months back and I have to say, shippyme has been a Godsend to me.
ReplyDeleteWow !!! Nice Review there Babs. I hope they will continue to satisfy ALL their Customers like this.
DeleteI hope they do. For me, I'm just happy a Nigerian company is doing so well. They are not perfect by any means, but they are very responsive and I have seen the changes and improvements they have made. I give them kudos for not being happy with just mediocare service.
DeleteShippyme is a great intervention in the business of shipping in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteUpon a successful registration and activation of my account, i got my USA free
address "like play like play".
I immediately booked a shipment and was blown away by the ease of their website. Although, the invoice i got after placing the shipment was an estimate,
the difference in the amount i eventually paid after my item was received wasn't that much
considering the fact that it was stated on the invoice that i would be charged based on the higher of the dimension/actual weight of my item.
Also, i got updates throughout the life-cycle of my shipment and when i got notified that my shipment was ready for collection,
i went to their office at No 8, Ladipo kuku, off allen, Ikeja to take delivery of it.
However, this is by no means a proof that Shippyme is perfect. They have improvements to make in several departments and i believe they are doing so.
Not too long ago, i received an apology email from their President, Dr. Iroh, saying he has made several changes to further improve Shippyme and, above all, to
increase customer satisfaction.
Given what they have done in the little time they came into being, i would recommend Shippyme to anyone looking to ship his/her items down to Nigeria.
Seriously, ShippyMe should pay you for this truthful review... LOL cuz you've said it ALL. Nice comment AJ, you rock !!!
DeleteI used Shippyme to bring in some furnitures some weeks back...trust me those guys are good. Perfect service.......
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, Esmith. Shippyme is really trying too
DeleteBig lies. Go checkout their reviews in google and nairaland. Terrible service. Customers items missing and stolen
ReplyDeleteYeah, I also noticed that recently. Maybe they are facing a tough time recently or what do you think is happening ?
