In a video by @kinng_sonnia on TikTok, the lady said it was her first time using cargo to ship goods.
According to her, using air freight cost £580 (N1.19m), but when she used the barrel to ship goods, she spent about half of that amount.
The lady said she got the barrel from Amazon for £72.99 (about N150,000) and shipping the barrel from the UK to Lagos was £150 (N309,000).
She said:
“If your family is in Lagos, then you don’t need to pay anything further, but as my family is in Porth Harcourt, I had to pay na extra 24 to ship to their doorstep. To be honest, I think that was very fair. Lastly, for delivery time, it took 6 weeks.”
She also spoke on the weight of the shipment.
