Not sure what it'll cost to send your things to Nigeria? Pick what you're sending — a barrel, a box, a suitcase — and compare air vs sea side by side, including the chargeable weight you'd actually be billed for. One click turns your estimate into a quote request.
How chargeable weight works
Air cargo is charged on whichever is higher: the actual weight, or the volumetric weight — length × width × height (cm) divided by 5,000. A big box of pillows can cost more than a small box of books. Minimums also apply: typically 8 kg for air and 30 kg for sea on this route. The estimator applies all of this for you.
Some couriers divide by 4,000 instead, which makes the same box cost more — always ask which divisor a quote used. When we quote you, we tell you the chargeable weight and the divisor up front, so the number you agree is the number you pay.
Air or sea — which should you pick?
As a rule of thumb: sea wins on price for heavy or bulky loads (barrels, multiple boxes, furniture), and air wins on speed — days instead of weeks — which matters for gifts, documents and anything time-sensitive. The estimator highlights the cheaper option for your load; the final call is yours.
