If you live abroad and need to buy school supplies for your children, siblings, nieces, nephews or other family members in Nigeria, you can arrange the purchase and local delivery without travelling home.
From textbooks and uniforms to stationery and school bags, getting the right items delivered locally can make preparing for a new term much easier.
What School Supplies Can You Buy?
Depending on the student’s school and class, commonly needed supplies include:
- Textbooks and workbooks
- Exercise books
- Pens and pencils
- School bags
- School uniforms
- School shoes
- Socks
- Mathematics sets
- Lunch boxes
- Water bottles
- Art and craft materials
- Other required learning materials
Before buying, confirm the school’s current requirements so you do not purchase unnecessary or incorrect items.
Buy School Supplies From Abroad
Parents and relatives living in the UK, USA, Canada and other countries can coordinate school purchases in Nigeria where the relevant service is available.
Instead of shipping every item internationally, you can arrange for supplies that are available locally to be purchased and delivered within Nigeria.
This can be particularly useful when the school has specific uniform colours, textbook editions or stationery requirements.
Deliver Supplies to Your Family
After the items are purchased, they can be arranged for delivery to the recipient’s home, school or another suitable location.
Provide the recipient’s:
- Full name
- Phone number
- Delivery address
- School name, if applicable
- Class or department where relevant
For school deliveries, confirm that the school accepts packages before arranging the drop-off.
Buying Supplies for More Than One Student
If you are supporting several family members, prepare a separate list for each child. Include the student’s name, class and required items.
This helps prevent textbooks, uniforms or other supplies from being mixed up during purchasing and delivery.
Check the Items Before Delivery
For important school purchases, confirm the quantity, size, colour and specifications before the items are delivered.
For example, uniforms and shoes may need specific sizes, while textbooks may need a particular title, author or edition.
