1688 package forwarding allows Nigerian buyers to purchase goods from Chinese sellers and have their orders delivered to a warehouse in China before being forwarded to Nigeria.
This is useful because many 1688 sellers focus on domestic Chinese deliveries rather than international shipping.
How 1688 Package Forwarding Works
The process is usually straightforward:
- Buy your products from 1688 sellers.
- Receive a designated China warehouse address.
- Give the address and your customer reference to the sellers.
- Your packages are delivered to the warehouse.
- The warehouse receives and identifies your orders.
- Multiple packages can be consolidated where suitable.
- Your cargo is forwarded to Nigeria.
- Delivery is arranged to your preferred location.
This works well when you are purchasing from several suppliers.
What to Check Before Your Order Ships
Before your supplier dispatches your goods, confirm:
- Current China warehouse address
- Customer or shipment reference
- Package labelling instructions
- Whether your goods can be consolidated
- Available air or sea freight options
- Handling and shipping charges
- Delivery arrangements in Nigeria
Always confirm the warehouse details before sending your first package.
How Travo.ng Can Help
Travo.ng can help Nigerian buyers coordinate the logistics involved in forwarding 1688 purchases from China to Nigeria, including warehouse receiving, package consolidation, freight coordination and delivery arrangements where applicable.
If you are ordering from multiple 1688 sellers, having all your packages properly identified at the warehouse makes the forwarding process easier to manage.
Plan Your Shipping Before Buying
Don’t focus only on the price shown on 1688. Consider the cost of getting the goods to the warehouse, handling, international freight and final delivery in Nigeria.
Planning these costs before placing a large order helps you understand the actual cost of your imports.
