Quick answer
To send a small parcel from Lagos to Anambra in 2026, expect roughly ₦7,000–₦10,500 for up to 2 kg and ₦10,500–₦13,500 for 3–5 kg with a mainstream courier. Standard delivery usually takes 2–4 business days. A park waybill can cost less, but you get no doorstep delivery or tracking. Bulk goods for Onitsha, Nnewi or Awka are best moved by van or truck on a quoted price. You can book pickup from your door in Lagos on Travo.

How much does it cost to send a parcel from Lagos to Anambra?
Few couriers publish fixed Lagos–Anambra tariffs. The ranges below come from a May 2026 review of GIG Logistics prices for Lagos to South-East cities. The review is based on observed and user-reported prices, so treat them as planning figures.
| Parcel size | Estimated courier cost, Lagos to South-East |
|---|---|
| Small (0–2 kg) | ₦7,000 – ₦10,500 |
| Medium (3–5 kg) | ₦10,500 – ₦13,500 |
| Large (over 5 kg) | ₦13,500 – ₦18,000+ |

For comparison, Travo’s waybill price list gives a 2026 planning range of ₦5,000–₦12,000 for a normal small parcel between major cities, and ₦7,000–₦13,500 for Lagos to Enugu.
What affects the price
- Weight and size. Many couriers charge on actual weight or volume, whichever is higher, so bulky, light items can cost more than you expect.
- Doorstep or terminal. Door-to-door delivery costs more than dropping off and collecting at a centre or park.
- Destination town. Awka and Onitsha are well served. Villages and smaller towns may need an extra last-mile charge.
- Fuel. Petrol was about ₦1,350–₦1,410 per litre in Lagos and the South-East in late September 2026, and diesel for trucks costs more.
- Season. Delivery slows and prices rise before Christmas and the New Year, when many people send goods home.
Where in Anambra can you deliver?
The main commercial centres are Onitsha, Nnewi and Awka, the state capital. Deliveries to these towns are the most common. Rome2rio puts the Lagos–Onitsha road at about 279 miles (roughly 449 km), around 6.5 hours of driving without delays, so a van can reach most of Anambra within a day. For towns further from the main roads, give the receiver’s phone number and a clear landmark to avoid missed deliveries.

How to book a Lagos to Anambra delivery on Travo
- Open the booking page and choose Send Parcel. For large loads, choose Haulage.
- Enter the pickup address in Lagos and the delivery address in Anambra, with both phone numbers.
- Describe the item, including its weight, size, value and whether it is fragile.
- Check the quote and confirm. The final price depends on the exact addresses and weight.
- Hand over the parcel at pickup, and track it until it is delivered.
Packing tips for interstate delivery
- Use a strong carton or sack. Tape every seam and label it with the receiver’s name, phone number and address.
- Wrap electronics and glass in bubble wrap or clothing, and mark the box “fragile”.
- Seal liquids and food in leak-proof containers, then bag them.
- Photograph the item and the packed parcel before handover, and keep your receipt or tracking number.
- Declare the true value. Misdeclaring can void any claim if something goes wrong.
Waybill safety: avoid common problems
- Only use the official waybill desk at the bus terminal, and get a printed or written receipt.
- Give the receiver the waybill number and the collection terminal, and remind them to take ID.
- Do not send cash, jewellery or important original documents by park waybill. Use a tracked courier.
- Never pay “clearing” or “release” fees to anyone who calls you unexpectedly claiming to hold your parcel. Check with the company directly.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to send a parcel from Lagos to Onitsha?
For a small parcel of up to 2 kg, mainstream courier prices to the South-East were about ₦7,000–₦10,500 in 2026. Heavier parcels cost more. A park waybill can be cheaper, but you have to collect it at the terminal.
How long does delivery from Lagos to Anambra take?
Standard interstate courier delivery takes about 2–4 business days, and 3–6 days at peak times. Park waybill timing depends on the bus schedule, so ask the terminal when the parcel will arrive.
What is the cheapest way to send goods to Anambra?
For small, non-urgent items, a park waybill is usually the cheapest. For large volumes, sharing a truck or booking one vehicle for the whole load is cheaper per item than sending many separate parcels.

Yes. Book a van or truck through Travo’s haulage option, or message us on WhatsApp with the item list for a quote.
