How to Calculate Shipping Costs in Nigeria

Shipping costs in Nigeria vary significantly by route, courier, and package weight. Lagos to Abuja is typically ₦1,500--₦4,500 depending on courier and urgency. Always factor delivery cost into your product pricing -- many sellers lose margin by absorbing unexpected shipping charges.

For WhatsApp-based sellers, we recommend charging customers actual delivery cost plus a ₦200--₦500 handling fee rather than offering "free delivery" unless your margin supports it.

What is the cheapest courier for Lagos to Abuja?
GIG Logistics typically offers the lowest standard rates on the Lagos-Abuja route at around ₦1,800-₦2,500 for a 1kg package. Express rates are higher (₦3,500-₦5,000).
How do I price COD deliveries?
For COD, add your shipping cost to the product price, or charge it separately at checkout. Make sure your rider confirms delivery before releasing the payout.
Can Shopinbos handle my logistics automatically?
Yes. Shopinbos connects to GIG Logistics, Sendbox, and other couriers. Rex dispatches the nearest rider on order confirmation. No manual booking needed.
What is DDP pricing for imported goods?
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means the seller covers all import duties and delivery to the buyer. For sourcing from China, factor in courier cost (₦8,000-₦25,000/kg), customs duty (5-35% of value), and local delivery.
