Ocean Shipping Process – 2 to 3 Containers Weekly Shipping

Despite being on a first come first serve basis, most items will leave the warehouse within 1 to 3 weeks of been received as we ship 2 to 3 containers weekly from the Houston warehouse and 1 container every 1 to 2 weeks from the Atlanta warehouse.

Ocean Shipping Process – Once your shipment is paid for, it is booked on the next available shipment. For Ocean, we offer two levels of service.

• Priority Ocean Shipping – Customers that pay for priority shipping will have their items loaded first on all shipments. Hence, they have their shipment leaving the very week they were paid for. Priority shipments arrive in 6 to 8 weeks after payment.
• Standard Ocean Shipping – Customers that pay for standard shipping will have their items loaded before 3 weeks of making payment. Standard shipments arrive in 8 to 11 weeks after payment is made.

Ocean transit time to Nigeria is 5 to 6 weeks. Allow 1 to 2 weeks for clearing, for a total delivery time of 6 to 8 weeks on most shipments.
