Amazon is a place where you can get lots of products including Best & Cheap Laptops, Mobile Phones, Household Gadgets, Books, DVDs, Jewelries and many other products you can name.

How to Buy Things from Amazon & Get It Shipped To Nigeria? Is a common question among internet shoppers in Nigeria. Since Amazon.com is the largest retail shop online where anyone can virtually get what he/she needs online. Shopping from Amazon.com is not the problem for Nigerians, but the main issue is how to get the product shipped to Nigeria. Today, I want to share some simple steps you can use to shop from Amazon.com and get products that Amazon.com doesn’t ship to Nigeria.
Before you proceed, check:
Stuffs That Amazon Will Ship to Most Countries Including Nigeria
Countries like Nigeria can only get some certain items shipped to their doorstep if they fall into the categories of Books, DVDs, Music and Video within one week. You can also read Amazon Shipping Restrictions Here.

How to Shop from Amazon and Get it Shipped Directly to Nigeria?
As I have said earlier, shopping from Amazon is not the problem, but the main problem is getting products that are not Books, Music, DVD and Video in Nigeria. Recently, I was able to secure a Cheap Dell Laptop Online from Amazon. I want to share the same process I went through to get it with you today so that you can use the same method to get any products that Amazon does not ship directly to Nigeria in Nigeria.
1 – I search Amazon and was able to jam a cheap dell laptop – HERE
2 – After selecting the one I desired, I proceeded with payment and then choose free shipping with my US address.
3 – Though I live in Nigeria, I secure my own personal US Mailing Address from My Us. If you need a US mailing address, you can get one HERE. NB: You must always forward your products to your US mailing address and then later re-ship it to Nigeria. With a US mailing address you can buy products that Amazon cannot ship directly to Nigeria.
4 – Finally, I made payment to Amazon via my Visa card from Zenith Bank Plc. You can use virtually most commercial banks Master/Visa Cards only.

In case the store you wish to patronize won’t accept your method of payment, use MyUS Personal Shopper service. They help with stores and auctions such as eBay that may not accept your preferred payment method.

Do you have any idea how much ebay charges for shipping things like DVD to Nigeria?
@Stella, ebay doesn’t ship directly to Nigeria. You will need to get a virtual US address to be able to do that.
Very good job. pls explain well how amazon and myus are connected to succeed in your order
@jman, since Amazon doesn’t ship electronics to Nigeria currently, MYUS issues a virtual US address for you to receive your order from Amazon. MYUS finally send the product from US to your real address in Nigeria.
why MyUS asks for set up fee, I am not a frequent buyer of Amazon from US. I came across a similar service that does not ask for membership fee, it is USGoBuy, how do you think about this one, is USGoBuy the same reliable as MYUS?
@olderandolder, USGoBuy is also reliable.
I am a graduate without job 4 3yrs. I came across this online and interested to be buying product from Amazon to nigeria for resell expecially phone and its accessories.Pls I need ur advice is it profitable to after paying all the shipping or if there is any reliable let me know. thank U.
@Abdul, buy from Amazon and selling in Nigeria is kind of expensive. How ever, you can try buying from China. That is far far better and lucrative.
Abeg, wat cn i do, i bought a bb of $29.98 nd myus is askin me 2 pay $60.15 for shipmnt. I dnt dat amount of money. Wat ll happen 2 my fone. @olusegun, pls help me, wat cn i do????
@Josh, your phone will be with them pending shipping. You ought to have use the calculator on the site to calculate the charge.
Thanks Olu, your post was well educating but i have a question:
who does the re-shipping from the US mailing address to Nigeria?
@Sir Felix O, My US will handle it.
So oga, how about using a naija p.o box? Can the item purchased be shipped from my US mailing address to my naija p.o box rather than going through courier in naija? Thanks.
@Chibuzor, orders are sent to home address, not post office box.
i came across your post,how nigerians buy from amazon.
My question is,are you guaranteed if you want to buy a used phone from amazon.
Are the goods shipped at airport or where will the consumer claim it. Does the USA shipping company have shipping centre in nigeria
@Awojana Lekke, The goods are sent via courier services like DHL.
thanks for d info. But clarify som more. My street and house is not numbered and so its not easy to locate by mail only. The description will be verbose and wordy and akward. Is it safe to resort to nipost mail box for somthg like laptop and gadgets? 2. Whats d full cost breakdown for buyg and gettg an item shipped. My understandg is: a) buy from amzn pay by debit/credit card b) ship to myus mail box c) myus ships to me. Charges shippg fee. 3.) can ecobank card wrk? I bank with ecobank and want to use a card attached to a dorm account which is cheaper than zenith’s option.
@kzone, try and use an address where you can be reached easily. You can use a friend’s house or you church address. The full cost includes the item cost and shipping cost, which you have to calculate yourself. I haven’t tried Ecobank card before, you can give it a trial, you’ve got nothing to lose for trying.
Segun, one thing i don’t understand about amazon to myus address is this, if i get myus address, do i need to register it on amazon, and if my amazon shipping address is us will they accept my naira mastercard for payment? for me i have opened amazon account with nigeria address already, can i replace it with myus address ? or do we go through myus to buy goods from amazon ? many questions here but all important to me man.
@Achuri, you can replace your NIgeria address with your US address and also pay with your Naira denominated card.
pls elaborate more on that amazon shipped to nigeria…..especially on Us mailing address….how Is it done convinently to reship from Us mailing address to nigeria.thnks
@Tolulope, shipping for the US address is quite easy. You only have to go to the US mailing address provider website to request for the products shipped to your virtual address. However, you have to pay for shipping.
Must i have a registered website apart from my blog before i do google adsense ?
@Achuri, you can use your blog to register for adsense as long as it complies with Google Terms and conditions.
If i’m to use myus.com, do i still need to open paypal account ?
@Achuri, you don’t need to once you have a credit card.
If amazon ships to US address, how do you divert the product to Nigeria? You might need to contact US post office and leave a forwarding address, pls clarify.
@Mrs A, MyUS will ship it directly to you in Nigeria. You only have to do that from your MYUS account.
I’ve done a lot of research about this company & i’ve been seeing a lot of negative comments about their services jst want 2 knw wat ur experience wit dem was.
@Jess, which company?
Interesting article. Qq? After making the purchases online and getting it sent to your MyUS addy to be shipped to Nigeria, do they just get it to the port or it comes to your physical address in Nigeria?
Who handles the clearing and demurrage – if any?
@Daniel, MYUS would ship your package to your home address via paid courier services like DHL.
how do I create my shipping address
@onyinye, you would be able to do that when you are checking out.
Thus china import to Nigeria directly??
@adewole, yes they do.
hello, in myus.com registration they request for VAT/TAX ID,what should i type there. Which us mail address can i use give me clue. Lastly can i use the mail on aliepress or any other website. Get to me soon thank
@Yetunde, VAT/TAX ID is optional. You can use your virtual address on any website.
Note: Aliexpress also ship directly to Nigeria.
Dear Admin
Do you have ideas on-
American airsea cargo?
And
BongoUS?
Please are they reliable?
@fredrick, I’ve heard about the two companies before that they are real. But I haven’t tried them yet.
Using your prescribed method I want to buy from another website named newegg.com at the payment option i chose Credit card and they asked me to feed my credit card detail. The Billing address seem to get me off balance. what address should i type? is it the billing address on my card or my new MyUS.com address? Your quick response will be appreciated. Thank you.
@Thomas, use your new MYUS address.
please I need your help, I want to start importing men’s singlet 3 in 1 pack from China. how do I go abt it.
@ogbonnaya, read my post on how to import from china for better understanding http://www.justnaira.com/2012/02/how-to-buy-and-shop-from-china.html.
@admin.Thank u sir.were do you advise i buy hp laptop for commercial sale?
@Amechi, you can go to their office in Nigeria.
@admin.aliexpress does not have good laptop product like dell and hp.what do i do,to get this product?
@Amechi, Amazon is the best place to get laptops like Dell, HP and the rest. I won’t advice you to buy laptops from Amazon for commercial purposes because of the charges involved.
For people who want to do laptop importation business,will they still make profit after paying myus for courier and address?i guess no gain.how do i reduce cost?
Amechi, you can give aliexpress.com a try, they ship directly to Nigeria.
