Three Int’l stores that ship free to Nigeria

When it comes to shopping from international online stores, the challenge for many living in Nigeria has always been the shipping cost.
Most cannot imagine buying a product that costs only $10 and have it shipped for $25. This was the snag before some stores found a way to solve this problem- Free Shipping. But even with these stores, selecting the best and most trusted is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Below are some trusted online stores that offer different categories of products; 
  1.        ASOS
Asos is a British online fashion and beauty store that has been delivering goods to men and women since its inception in June 2000. Ever since then Asos has been on a steady rise and has grown to become one of the most trusted international stores that delivers free goods worldwide.
Asos has grown so popular that it’s not hard to see dispatch riders with Asos boxes strapped to their bikes, signaling the popularity of the online store in Nigeria.
Personally, I found shopping on Asos easy. My delivery which was scheduled to come in 2 weeks came in much less time and I collected it from the post office at no extra charge. The goods delivered looked the same as what I saw online.
Another customer expressed mixed views.
Temitayo Nathan a regular Asos shopper said; “I love shopping on Asos. They deliver on said date, but the pictures usually look better that the actual product sometimes.”
For Rhoda, it was a terrible experience altogether; “I bought goods on Asos last year and up until now I’m still expecting my delivery. Never again!!”
I discovered that the reason a lot of people may not receive their goods is because they do not fill in their correct addresses and/or post code. Most Nigerians are not aware of the varying post codes for different streets. A quick search on nigeriapostcodes.com should solve this problem of missing goods.

  1.        Book depository
This is a trusted online bookshop that has an expansive range of books from fiction to health.
Founded by former Amazon employee and later acquired by Amazon, Book depository is by far one of the largest online book stores; the best part is not just their discounted prices but free worldwide shipping.
“If you don’t mind waiting, The Book Depository is a trustworthy source of books. Occasionally, shipping times can be a little on the long side, but your books will show up. I have ordered many books from there, and so far everything has arrived, in perfect condition.
“As a side note, if you happen to order different items at the same time, they send everything in separate packages, which means even though your order was placed at the same time; the books may arrive individually, rather than all at once,” a customer Morpie, said
My guess is that the reason for separate delivery is that the books are sourced from different sellers. But the most important factor is that they get to you eventually.
Another interesting side to this site is that you can see a live feed on the homepage of the people making purchases from the site from all over the world. 
  1.        Aliexpress
I discovered Aliexpress through consistent search on Google. Every time I put up a search to buy a product and add “Nigeria” to it, the Aliexpress site came up. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to check it out. I was fascinated by how many exciting products they have that meet the need of male and female fashion lovers. The best part is that they are cheap although most are duplicates of real high end brands. The bad part is there are a lot of scams on Aliexpress and finding a credible store takes time and a lot of research.
Aliexpress is very popular not just for its fashion but human hair. Many people love to buy human hair from trusted sellers because they get quality for a much cheaper rate. “Aliexpress delivery was very fast. No complaints, nothing. Impressive,” Jahnet Kanu who bought virgin hair from Queen hair Products on Aliexpress said. “I used the free shipping option and I was surprised that it came in a week and the hair was very good”
Some have even gone as far as ordering wedding dresses from them. For many, they say ordering is more or less a gamble for those who are willing to take a risk.

CAS Upholds Suarez's 4-Month Ban

Luis Suarez's four-month biting ban is upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but he is cleared to train. A full explanation of the Court of Arbitration for Sport's ruling will not be published until a later date. Suarez's lawyers argued world governing body FIFA's decision to suspend him from all "football-related activity" for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup was excessive. The Uruguay striker, 27, was also banned for nine international matches. Suarez was a Liverpool player at the time of his clash with Chiellini but has since left Anfield to join Barcelona in a £75m deal. Barcelona's La Liga season starts at home to Elche on 24 August. An eight-game ban would have meant Suarez was unavailable until El Classico at Real Madrid on 26 October. At last week's hearing in Lausanne, Suarez's legal team argued he should be allowed to train with Barca during his suspension and that his ban should be limited to internati...

The Great Chinese Exodus Many Chinese are leaving for cleaner air, better schools and more opportunity. But Beijing is keeping its eye on them.

A recent report showed that 64% of China's rich are either migrating overseas or have plans to leave the country. Political scientist James To, who has written a book on the subject, tells the WSJ's Deborah Kan how the Chinese government is using propaganda campaigns abroad to ensure loyalty from overseas Chinese. Even when the emperors did their utmost to keep them at home, the Chinese ventured overseas in search of knowledge, fortune and adventure. Manchu Qing rulers thought those who left must be criminals or conspirators and once forced the entire coastal population of southern China to move at least 10 miles inland. But even that didn't put an end to wanderlust. Sailing junks ferried merchants to Manila on monsoon winds to trade silk and porcelain for silver. And in the 19th century, steamships carried ar...
