LC is not EMS package but NIPOST package. like i said if the item you are expecting is a valuable item and those post office guys have a questionable character, they will hide it from you and tell you they didn't receive it. the best thing to do is after 10 or 14 days, just go to their office and tell them someone called you from their head office that your package has been there for long time that they should look for it and give it to you because you have already informed their GM about it after loosing so many packages to their system.

LC takes 5-7 days to get to Nigeria. It normally arrives with registered mail but because some of our post men are corrupt. They can steal it if is a valuable item and tell you they have not received it. i have received some and i have lost some as well. Everything depends on the character of people you have at your assigned post office to your address. if they have a questionable character, you will not receive it unless you dig it out with them at their head office before it would come out.

you cannot track LC on NIPOST site even sometimes on USPS site; they call it local. it is untraceable. it is called do it at your own risk because of Nigeria postal system.

sorry it been 2week now can i go to Nahaco and check please respond ill be happy to hear from you

You are welcome sir
Hello Mynd and greggng too, please come to my aid.
I used USPS to order a package from the states. Its been a week overdue now but am yet to received it.
I have gone to Nipost office, Ikoyi and was told no such package received yet with the tracking number I produced.
Also, I contacted the sender who replied that the package left US soil since 20th of June. He suggested maybe it is stuck with custom and I should visit their office but thing is I don't even know where or how to contact custom.
Here is what the Tracking Numbers look like- LN10*****28US.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Hi, goto this link and input your tracking number: http://www.nipost.gov.ng/Track_Confirm.aspx
If the item has arrived nigeria, it will show it's progress there, if you enter the tracking and nothing is shown then it means the item hasn't arrived nigeria. I also ordered a laptop and a studio headphone on the 30th of june from US with USPS international percel and it's in exchange office now, it should get to my post office in agege by tomorrow so hopefully by tomorrow I'll get my items. So typically those items took about 15 days to get here. I also normally buy stuffs from singapore and uk and i think tracking through nipost site will let you know the exact spot where your item is once it has arrived in Nigeria. Hope I've been of little help smiley

Re: Package Delivery Problems: USPS And NIPOST by youngblaze(m): 7:42am On Jul 15, 2014
Yeah you're welcome, just give it more time. Some things might be delaying the item, wait for about a week more it should have entered nigeria by then.

Hello youngblaze, Is their any chance that the item could be delayed by custom, that's why the tracking number is not providing any information on Nipost site?
If yes, how could I contact custom to confirm.
Please your reply is urgently needed to determine my next course of action.
Thanks
Re: Package Delivery Problems: USPS And NIPOST by youngblaze(m): 4:25pm On Jul 22, 2014
If your item is being delayed by custom, you would see it on nipost website with something like "Send item to customs" and if it takes days without changing from that status then it means custom hasn't released the item yet. But since it's not showing anything then i think your item hasn't even gotten here. However, there are some rare cases whereby your item has even gotten to the destination but probably skipped some checking points so failed to update (That hasn't happened to me before tho but I've heard it happens sometimes). So my advise is to contact your local post office and ask if your item has arrived. What is it still saying on the normal tracking?

lol yeah they request for money. Actually, ordinary post is supposed to be collected free of charge but these people normally request for some money. However, parcels from usps and some sorts with higher quality and weight would require you to pay before collecting your item as that is custom's fee which is also applicable everywhere in the world. Only normal post is supposed to be free of charge. Which means anytime you're expecting items like laptops or others from usps, be ready to pay about 5k above. Cheers smiley

@youngblaze. What if I ship through DHL, will I pay the fees also
Re: Package Delivery Problems: USPS And NIPOST by youngblaze(m): 3:24pm On Aug 09, 2014
I'm not sure nipost is responsible for dhl packages, i assume dhl packages should be collected in dhl office and not nipost. Not sure tho cuz I've never had anything through dhl before.

Thankz. I know dhl packages are to be receive from dhl office. Looking at how they work I don't think dhl official will request for any money before collecting the goods
Re: Package Delivery Problems: USPS And NIPOST by youngblaze(m): 5:21pm On Aug 21, 2014
yeah i think so. but they might charge a small fee. very minimal tho. service charge for big parcels.
