Over the years, shopping on US or Uk stores from Nigeria seemed a big challenge due to the unavailability of a trusted shipping services. Although they’re a lot of e-commerce stores in Nigeria, but there still a need to shop online abroad. One of the major reason is, you can buy direct from top designers or shop your fashion cravings which are not available on Nigerian online stores.
Personally, I enjoy shopping online abroad because I can get my cravings satisfied. To me, shopping online is equivalent to shopping in a regular store. That’s the reason I prefer sites like Nordstrom, Nieman Marcus, Shopbop, Macys because I would have a glance of variety of stuffs before making my choice. That being said, this article is aimed to show you the two shipping services that will make your fashion shopping experience enjoyable.
Although they’re lots of shipping companies out there, but I’m going to talk about only two of them which we recommend. Their services are good and affordable….now you can start shopping on international online stores until your fashion cravings are satisfied.
