How to shop on Amazon and deliver it to Nigeria — A visual guide.
✨ If you’re the first person to open this article, here’s a free Spotify gift card for you.
If you’ve ever bought anything from Amazon or ASOS, you know that the experience can be frustrating. If your card doesn’t get declined, you’ll hit a snag at the $100 limit. If you’re somehow able to sort out payments without incident, you have to face the boss — expensive shipping and other delivery problems.
Shopping online involves a ton of gymnastics, and most people have had to develop expensive or inconvenient workarounds. Sometimes it’s the “Amazon plug” who you send product links to or your friend in the US who shops on your behalf and then ships to you whenever they’re free. Regardless of what options you choose, it’s still significantly more stressful than it needs to be.
This article will show you a step-by-step guide on shopping above your dollar spending limit on Amazon and delivering it to Nigeria without stress.
You don’t need a dollar card for this, and you’ll get your items shipped to your doorsteps within three weeks. I’ve also added a few free gift cards to the article to keep things interesting for you 😉.
Primarily, Amazon offers four methods for paying for orders; Debit/Credit cards, Gift Cards, Vouchers & Promotional Codes, Amazon.com Store Cards and Personal Checking Accounts.
Paying via gift cards is currently the most favourable option if you’re in Nigeria because there are no limits to how much you can spend and where you can use it from. The easiest way to purchase an Amazon gift card in Nigeria is through Getcards. You don’t need to sign up, there are no additional fees and you can pay via bank transfer.
Paying for and shipping your Amazon order
- After getting the total dollar value of your order, go to www.getcards.africa.
- Search for Amazon and select the gift card for the website that applies. Most people in Nigeria use the amazon.com or amazon.co.uk sites.
3. Select your order amount and fill out your information. If you’re purchasing this as a present for someone, tick the “This is a gift” box and fill out the details with a personalized message. Here’s a free Playstation gift card for you✨.
4. Transfer the Naira amount you want to buy and click the “I’ve made this transfer” button. You’ll receive your gift card within minutes. Here are two free gift cards for Spotify and AMC Theatres✨
5. On Amazon, add the shipping information. One way to efficiently ship to Nigeria from online stores is by using a warehousing delivery service like Heroshe and DHL Africa eShop.
They provide you with a shipping address in the US to use on checkout and then deliver the products to you in Nigeria after they receive it.
According to their websites, Heroshe delivers within 14–21 business days while DHL Africa eShop delivers within 5–14 business days.
6. Apply the gift code from Getcards to your Amazon checkout page and complete your checkout.
7. Viola! You’ve placed your order and can now wait for delivery.
