Nowadays, there are now many online shopping websites available to Nigerians unlike was the case in the past and if you are residing in Nigeria, here is a list of some top recommended destination where you can buy from:

List of recommended shopping websites
=====================================
Jumia Nigeria: I recommend Jumia because they are a reliable brand and have one of the widest variety of products. They have offices and warehouses in Nigeria and can deliver anywhere. They accept payment on delivery as well as online payment and can deliver to you in anywhere in Nigeria. You can place orders on their website easily or by calling them on phone. They offer a fast delivery service as they can deliver within 24 hrs.

Konga: This is another reliable shopping website I've used and they do delivery too anywhere in Nigeria. They sell a lot of things from clothes, shoes, books and many other things. You can order online and on phone too and they accept online card payments. Konga can do same day delivery too.

Dealdey: Just as their name suggests, they offer a lot of products too but at prices that are almost unbeatable. You'd get to save money when shopping with them as a lot of deals are offered at a good discount. Checkout with them before buying anything anywhere else.

Aliexpress: A lot of our today's products are made in China. What I love about Aliexpress is their really low retail prices which even gets lower when deals are on. This is a foreign shopping website Nigerians can buy things from and they are located in Hong Kong, China. Aliexpress is one of the few foreign shopping websites that delivers to Nigeria and a whole lot of other countries in Africa. They can deliver items through postal mail as well as through fast courier services like DHL, Fedex, UPS and EMS. If you don't receive what you ordered for before the buyer protection period ends, you can always ask for a refund from Aliexpress.

Amazon: This is an international shopping website with headquarters in the USA and Nigerians are allowed to buy things from them. There are some items that Amazon can deliver directly to Nigeria while there are some that they don't offer direct delivery. For those items that are not covered by international shipping, you can always make use of a US shipping agent like I've used. There is practically nothing I can't buy and import from Amazon as long as it's not prohibited by the Nigerian Custom service.

MyHabit: Need to buy clothes, shoes, bags, watches, baby products and other fashion accessories? Well, MyHabit is another shopping website you should consider and it's owned by Amazon and they can sell to Nigerians. You can log into MyHABIT with the same login detials you use on Amazon since they are connected to each other. They can deliver internationally for some items but if there are things you want from them that they don't ship to Nigeria, you can still get it by making use of a US mail forwarding service. The mail forwarding service will provide you with a US address to be used for online shopping.

What you'll need
================
1. Address: A delivery address is important if you want your purchased items to be delivered to you and for record purposes too.

2. Payment: You need to provide a means of payment. This can be cash on delivery, bank deposit, Visa, Mastercard or Verve.

3. A phone number: You need to provide a phone number and in some cases, it has to be linked to your billing details. It may be needed for making verification purposes.

4. An email address: Most shopping websites require at least an email address so as to be sending stuff to you for verification and for updates. It may also required for logging in at the shopping website.

5. A buyer's account: You first need to be registered as a buyer to buy things from any particular shopping website. It's easy and it's free.

6. A US mail forwarding service: This is mostly needed when buying things on some US based websites as an international buyer and only deliver to US addresses. It allows you to forward those things to your Nigerian address after receiving it at your US address

I would like to buy a laptop from Amazon.com but I've tried and they don't deliver to Nigeria yet. I get an error saying " Sorry, this item can't be shipped to your selected address". The one I want to buy is an ASUS transformer book. Please help me. I have the money.

Well, that's not a big problem. You can easily get a US shipping address from a US company, have them received the package for you and then forward it to your home in Nigeria using DHL, Fedex or UPS. You'd just pay them a small commission. You can open an account with them with as low as $10 and then when they receive your item, they will just charge you the international shipping fee. For the particular notebook you mentioned, it shouldn't cost up to $100 as shipping fee to get it in Nigeria. Get a US shipping address
