If you live abroad and need to send a parcel from one location in Nigeria to another, you do not have to be physically present to arrange the delivery. You can book the local delivery remotely while the parcel is collected and delivered within Nigeria.
This can be useful when sending items to parents, siblings, friends, customers or business partners in another Nigerian city.
How to Send a Parcel Within Nigeria From Abroad
The process starts with providing the pickup and delivery information. You will generally need:
- Pickup address
- Delivery address
- Sender’s name and phone number
- Recipient’s name and phone number
- Description of the parcel
- Number of packages
- Estimated weight or size
- Preferred collection date
Accurate addresses and phone numbers are particularly important when you are arranging the delivery remotely.
Can I Pay for a Nigerian Parcel Delivery From Overseas?
Where international payment is available for the particular service, you can arrange and pay for an eligible Nigerian delivery while abroad.
The payment method, currency, exchange rate and any applicable fees can vary by service, so confirm the final amount and available payment option before completing the booking.
The person paying for the delivery does not necessarily have to be the person receiving the parcel.
What Can You Send Within Nigeria?
Domestic courier services can be used for many permitted items, including:
- Documents
- Clothing
- Gifts
- Small packages
- Household items
- Food items where permitted
- Business products
- Online orders
The courier’s restrictions still apply, so confirm that the item is accepted before arranging collection.
Send a Parcel to Family in Nigeria
Sending a parcel remotely can be useful when your family member needs something delivered from another Nigerian city.
For example, you could be in the UK while arranging for a package in Lagos to be collected and delivered to your parents in Abuja. You can handle the booking while your family member simply receives the parcel.
This can save them from having to arrange the courier themselves.
Sending Parcels for a Nigerian Business
Diaspora business owners can also use local delivery services to move products between Nigerian suppliers, offices and customers.
For example, you may operate a business from abroad but have stock stored in Lagos. You can arrange for an item to be collected from the supplier or warehouse and delivered to a customer in another Nigerian city.
For regular deliveries, keep a consistent record of pickup addresses, customer contacts and parcel requirements.

- Parcel description
- Estimated weight and size
