1688 international shipping can be challenging for Nigerian buyers because 1688 is primarily focused on the Chinese domestic market. Many buyers therefore use a logistics provider to receive their purchases in China and arrange onward shipping to Nigeria.
How 1688 Shipping to Nigeria Works
The process usually involves:
- Buy your products from 1688 suppliers.
- Get a designated China warehouse address from your logistics provider.
- Ask your suppliers to deliver the orders to the warehouse.
- The warehouse receives and identifies your packages.
- Multiple orders can be consolidated where suitable.
- Your cargo is prepared for international freight.
- The shipment is forwarded to Nigeria and delivered to you.
This is particularly useful if you are buying from several 1688 sellers.
Air Freight or Sea Freight?
Your choice should depend on the shipment.
- Air freight: Generally more suitable for smaller or urgent orders.
- Sea freight: Often considered for larger or heavier commercial shipments where delivery speed is less important.
Weight, volume, product type and destination all affect the final shipping cost.
What to Confirm Before Ordering
Before placing a large 1688 order, find out:
- Where your goods will be received in China
- Your customer reference number
- Warehouse receiving requirements
- Whether your products can be consolidated
- Available freight options
- Estimated shipping and handling charges
- How delivery will be handled in Nigeria
Having these details ready prevents you from buying goods without knowing how you will get them to Nigeria.
