The Procedures Involved with our air cargo to Nigeria from the UK
To have a smooth cargo shipping experience with us, it’s important to follow the outlined procedures:
-Use a strong carton box(s) for packaging your cargo, from our experience this works better especially if we have to send a third party to collect from you. Using suitcases, bags, etc is not advisable as the printed labels could easily slip off. You can get shipping boxes on Amazon in case you don’t know where to get one.
-We require you to include important information such as name, address, and telephone number in the UK as well as the recipient details in Nigeria.
Labelling Your Shipment
It’s very important to mark the number of items you have on your boxes and write Cargonaija on each box too. For example, if your boxes are 2 write 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 etc. If it’s just a box, write 1 of 1.
