Cargo Freight services to Nigeria

Air cargo or Sea freight. Which one is more economical when sending items to Nigeria? This is an important decision which anyone cannot afford to get wrong especially if international export/Import is a business you're considering entering into.
Two things come into play here:

1) The quantity and volume of the items you will be exporting to Nigeria

2) The nature of the item you are exporting to Nigeria

By quantity and volume, this doesn't necessarily mean the weight of the  consignment you're sending in Kilogram weight per say. For example one flat screen television set weighing just 40KG may cost £150 to export through air freight cargo while items of clothing weighing the same weights could be £15 to £20 lesser in terms of price. The price difference could add up to huge amount of money especially where large quantity of consignments is involved.

The nature of the item to be exported to Nigeria also plays a significant role on the part of the shipper. While the risk element inherent in liquid item is high considering different legislation in place in regards to transporting liquid substance.  Transporter would then have to consider customs procedures in Lagos, Abuja or destination of the substance.

Aside these two factors mentioned above, documentation is another serious element that needs adequate attention. Anyhow, regardless of whichever cargo freight services or logistics company to Nigeria  in the United Kingdom you're sending your consignment with, they require you to have proper  documentation on the item.

For argument sake air or cargo freight method is not ideal for exporting liquid items or cars to Nigeria. You may to want consider sea freight service company with good track record when transporting liquid.

When items anyone is sending to Nigeria is of low volume then Air or cargo freight services is the route to go. The solid argument for this is simply due to the shipper enjoying fast delivery of their consignment with everything being equal.

When Things Go Wrong in Door to Door Cargo to Nigeria

 
Typical of all business and in life. Nobody is perfect, and we learn from our mistakes. The same holds true of all cargo and freight business. Most especially when consignments are shipped to Nigeria. Government policies, changes in rate, transport networks and all that are forces that could occasionally militate against smooth service delivery on the part of cargo companies.

Essentials  Of a Good Cargo Company

There are circumstances that are beyond the making of most cargo companies sending consignments to Nigeria. When these human elements come into play, it is the responsibility of  any reputable cargo company to display high level of professionalism. Priority must be given to customers interest by their cargo companies. Customers services, Constant communication,  Social interaction and above all honesty.

Customers services - Even though this is the life-line of  any business yet most cargo companies handle this without care and attention. Any  cargo company who give lip service to customer care won't last long. When you give your consignment to a cargo company make sure such company has immpecable customer service.

Constant Communication- How good is the communication policy is a necessity of any cargo company that will be helping you to send your stuff to Nigeria. Does this company T and C detailed enough and pass the message they preach? Are there any reference points in the cargo company T and C should in case things fall apart?

Honesty - This is by far a virtue which most companies are lacking on. This is a global issue, not only in the freight industry alone. When your cargo company assured you that your consignment will reach Lagos in X amount of days, but out of the companies making there's a sort of delay which now make the company not to live up to its promises, the cargo company should then not compromise on the truth by trying to conceal the truth.
