Main Service Logistics helps individuals and businesses ship goods from China to Nigeria by air. This guide explains the steps to take, from your first enquiry to collecting your goods.
Buying goods from a supplier in China is only the first part of the journey. Before your supplier dispatches anything, you need to know where the packages should go, how they should be labelled, whether the goods can be shipped by air, and how you will receive them in Nigeria.
1. Tell Us What You Want to Ship
Start by contacting our team with a description of your goods. Tell us how many packages you expect, your supplier’s location if known, and where you would like to receive the shipment in Nigeria.
Please ask before buying or dispatching goods if you are unsure whether an item can be accepted for air shipping. Some products may need special handling or documentation, while others may be restricted. Giving us accurate information at the beginning helps us advise you on the available shipping arrangements.
2. Get the Current China Warehouse Address
Do not rely on an address saved from an earlier shipment or copied from an old message. Request the current receiving address and package marking instructions from our team before your supplier sends your goods.
Pass those instructions to your supplier exactly as provided. Correct package marking helps the receiving team identify which customer the goods belong to when they arrive at the warehouse.
3. Send Us Your Courier Tracking Details
When your supplier dispatches the packages within China, ask for the local courier tracking number for each package. Send those numbers to our team along with the name or marking you instructed the supplier to put on the goods. or you can track the goods through our tracking site https://www.mainservicecargo.com.cn/postdh.php
If you buy from more than one supplier, keep the tracking numbers together. This makes it easier to follow up on each parcel and check what has reached the receiving warehouse.
4. Request Consolidation in Advance if You Need It
If you would like parcels from different suppliers shipped together, tell our team before the goods are processed. Do not assume separate parcels will automatically be combined.
When you request consolidation, provide the tracking numbers and make clear which parcels belong to you. Our team can then advise you on the available arrangement and any applicable charges.
5. Confirm the Shipping Charges and Requirements
Ask for the current air freight rate and any charges that may apply to your particular goods. The information needed and the final shipping cost can depend on the nature, weight and packaging of the shipment.
6. Arrange Collection or Delivery in Nigeria
Once your shipment is ready for release in Nigeria, follow the payment, collection or delivery instructions given by our team. If you intend to collect from an office, confirm the correct collection location before going.
You can find our Nigerian offices and contact numbers on the Main Service Logistics Branch Locations page.
A Quick Checklist Before Your Supplier Sends the Goods
Have you told our team what the goods are?
Have you confirmed that they are eligible for the proposed air freight service?
Have you requested the current China warehouse address and package-marking instructions?
Has your supplier agreed to mark every package correctly?
Do you know how many packages to expect?
Have you arranged to send us each local courier tracking number?
If you have several parcels, have you requested consolidation in advance?
Taking these steps early can prevent avoidable confusion when goods arrive at the warehouse.
