If you are abroad and need goods delivered to a customer, family member, business or another recipient in Nigeria, last mile delivery is the final stage that gets the shipment from a local warehouse, hub or collection point to its destination.
For overseas senders, arranging this part of the delivery can be challenging because you may not be physically present in Nigeria. Travo.ng allows customers abroad to arrange eligible local deliveries and logistics services remotely.
What Is Last Mile Delivery in Nigeria?
Last mile delivery refers to the final movement of a shipment to the recipient’s address.
For an overseas sender, the process could look like:
International shipment → Nigerian arrival point → Local warehouse or hub → Last mile delivery → Recipient
This is particularly useful when imported goods, e-commerce orders or personal shipments have already arrived in Nigeria and need to reach the final recipient.
Who Uses Last Mile Delivery From Abroad?
Overseas senders may need Nigerian last mile delivery for:
- Family deliveries
- Online customer orders
- Business inventory
- E-commerce shipments
- Gifts
- Documents and parcels
- Supplier deliveries
- Household goods
- Imported products
You can arrange the local delivery without being physically present in Nigeria.
How to Arrange Last Mile Delivery From Overseas
Start by providing the essential delivery information:
- Pickup or collection location in Nigeria
- Recipient’s full name
- Nigerian phone number
- Final delivery address
- Parcel description
- Approximate size or weight
- Preferred delivery date
- Any special delivery instructions
The delivery cost can then be determined based on factors such as distance, package size and urgency. Travo.ng states that delivery quotes are provided upfront based on the job requirements. (Travo Blog)
Last Mile Delivery for E-Commerce Businesses
Overseas businesses selling to Nigerian customers can use local last mile delivery after their products arrive in the country.
For example, a business could import several products into Nigeria, store them locally and then arrange individual deliveries to customers as orders are received.
Travo.ng also supports warehousing, fulfilment, pick-and-pack and last mile delivery, allowing these stages to work together as one logistics process. (Travo Blog)
Last Mile Delivery for Family in Nigeria
You can also arrange a delivery for relatives while living abroad.
For example, if you purchase goods for your parents or another family member, you can organise the Nigerian delivery remotely instead of asking them to find a courier themselves.
This can be useful for parcels, groceries, household items, gifts and other permitted goods.
Same-Day Last Mile Delivery
Where available, same-day delivery can be useful for urgent local shipments.
Travo.ng currently lists same-day parcel delivery across Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, while its wider delivery network covers additional Nigerian cities. (Travo Blog)
Availability depends on the pickup location, destination, timing and type of shipment.
How Much Does Last Mile Delivery Cost in Nigeria?
There is no fixed price for every delivery. The final quote can depend on:
- Pickup and delivery distance
- Parcel size
- Parcel weight
- Delivery urgency
- Number of packages
- Special handling requirements
- Location and route
Providing the exact pickup and delivery addresses helps determine the applicable price before the delivery is booked.
Can I Pay for Nigerian Delivery From Abroad?
Yes, where the applicable service supports international payment, an overseas sender can arrange and pay for a local Nigerian delivery remotely.
The person making the payment does not necessarily have to be the recipient. This makes the service useful for Nigerians abroad, international businesses and family members supporting people in Nigeria.
Confirm the available payment method and final amount before completing the booking.
