When DHL says your parcel is with Delivery courier

One of the things I love about DHL's delivery service is that they offer one of the best tracking services. One would be able to track his shipment from DHL by making use of their efficient website.

One of the parcels I normally receive through DHL is one from Ireland and it's basically contains a paper document that is normally shipped fast. It just takes about 3 days to arrive in Lagos Nigeria and after it does, I normally receive the parcel by the next day.

When you are expecting a shipment from DHL from a foreign contact, one of the things you'd need to get from him is the DHL Airway Bill Number in the formal DHL++++. It is basically the number you can use to track your shipment online and know when it is coming to your doorstep.

DHL shipments are mostly effective and when they arrive Nigeria by Air, it is normally sent out for delivery the next day after it has been cleared by Customs. The delivery platform would be a vehicle and it may be a motorbike or Van depending on how heavy the parcel is. Since mine is mostly a paper document, it is normally delivered by a motorbike and this is also faster due to Nigeria's poor traffic system.

I was able to tack the shipment by making use of the tracking number on DHL's website and once it read "With Delivery courier", I knew it was going to be delivered at my home and so I had to plan how to receive it.

In order not to let your shipment get delivered to the wrong person, it's normally good you receive it yourself or at least tell your gateman or reception to receive it. If it's a very high value item, DHL officers may request that the receiver present an id card or proof of ownership just so it doesn't get delivered to the wrong person.

For most people living in Lagos or Abuja, once the online notification says "With delivery courier", expect it to be delivered the same day but this may take longer for others in remote locations in Nigeria.
