Frequently Asked Questions

Verified answers to customer questions about County Cargo Express UK to Nigeria shipping.

Q1Can County Cargo ship from the UK to Lagos in 2–3 working days?

Yes. Eligible Express air cargo shipments from the UK to Lagos have an estimated delivery time of 2–3 working days. This timeframe is subject to package acceptance, airline flight schedules, and standard customs clearance procedures at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.

Q2When does the Express delivery estimate begin?

The 2–3 working day delivery estimate begins once your parcel has been processed, payment confirmed, and the shipment departs on the scheduled international cargo flight from the UK. The clock does not begin at the time of initial website inquiry or domestic courier collection within the UK.

Q3What are the booking cut-off and payment requirements?

Express shipments require a completed item declaration and confirmed invoice payment prior to the flight cut-off deadline. Packages received after weekly flight dispatch cut-offs will be scheduled on the next available international flight.

Q4Can County Cargo arrange collection in my UK town?

Yes. While our primary UK consolidation and logistics warehouse is in Liverpool (supporting Manchester, Bolton, Preston, and Warrington), customers in London, Birmingham, Leeds, Coventry, Sheffield, Leicester, Nottingham, Luton, Milton Keynes, and nationwide can provide their postcode to arrange UK courier collection or drop off parcels directly at our depot.

Q5What does the Express shipping quote include?

Express quotes cover priority air freight and airline handling. The standard handling charge (£20 per shipment) and any agreed onward transport or doorstep delivery fees are itemized clearly. Any applicable customs duty, special clearance costs, or statutory regulatory fees for commercial goods are confirmed prior to dispatch.

Q6Which items can I send on Express cargo?

Express cargo is designed for urgent documents, clothing, personal effects, electronics (laptops, phones, tablets), product samples, and packaged commercial goods. Hazardous materials, flammable liquids, loose lithium batteries, power banks, cash, and items on the Nigeria Customs Import Prohibition List cannot be accepted.

Q7How are shipments to Abuja and Kaduna handled?

Express shipments destined for Abuja (in the Federal Capital Territory) and Kaduna State arrive in Nigeria via air freight in Lagos or Abuja and are routed via secure onward transport to an agreed regional collection point. Doorstep delivery is not standard outside Lagos; customers should allow 1–2 additional working days for onward movement and confirm local transport charges before booking.

Q8Is the delivery time guaranteed?

Delivery times are realistic operational estimates rather than contractual guarantees. While the majority of Express shipments arrive within 2–3 working days, unforeseen circumstances outside our control—such as airline schedule changes, adverse weather, or Nigeria Customs inspection audits—can occasionally extend timelines.
