If goods are in more than 2 boxes as (box size) recommended by us, boxes should be well strapped, sealed and palletized also. For more information on sea freight packaging for our Europe customers please contact us on +31684792885 or +447984935042. See packaging requirements below;

What is the cost of Sea freight from UK to Nigeria?
The cost of sea freight to Nigeria from the UK may be different for forwarders in the industry, the charge per bag, per CBM and per pallet may be charged differently depending on how the freight forwarder is able to get cost effective pricing from the shipping line and clearing agent. Most freight forwarders operate with a very small profit margin as low as 5% and thus, their prices are bound to be similar in nature. Also freight forwarders keep a tab on their competitors and try to beat or match their prices.
