Commerce has experienced an upsurge with the advent of the internet. Getting items across different cities and continents quickly and effectively is more important than ever. Competition for Delivery companies is on the rise, as the space is being disrupted by technology companies like Wemove . However, with all these innovation and disruption, choosing a courier service in Nigeria can be quite a hurdle.
With the volume of e-commerce transactions is constantly increasing in Nigeria, smaller players other than the bigger e-commerce players like Jumia and Konga are entering the market. The bulk of these small players are using social media channels to sell products.
With Nigeria’s poor infrastructures, moving items around the country can be a bit expensive. In this post, we present delivery companies that have top-notch services such as — security, speed, tracking, specialization, individualization and great user experience.
We have left out the more popular delivery companies like UPS, DHL and FedEx. Here’s the list of delivery companies you should be using in Nigeria if you deliver goods across the country.
