What $6 a pound actually costs you

Shipping is the part people guess at. Here is the arithmetic.

Pricing · September 2026

Shipping is the part people guess at, and guessing is where the disappointment starts. So here is the arithmetic, with no rounding in our favour.

Our shipping is ₦10,000 for anything up to 1 lb, and $6 per pound above that, charged on the actual weight of your item.

What that looks like

ItemTypical weightWhat shipping costs
Phone caseUnder 1 lb₦10,000
Hair bundles (3)About 1.5 lb$9
HoodieAbout 2 lb$12
Sneakers, boxedAbout 3 lb$18
Laptop, boxedAbout 6 lb$36

Those are typical weights, not a quote. We weigh your actual parcel and tell you the real number before anything is bought.

Three things worth knowing

Weight is the box, not the item

A pair of shoes weighs less than a pair of shoes in its box, and the box is what flies.

Buy two things at once, not two weeks apart

Items that reach our Houston warehouse in the same week travel together on the same Friday shipment. Two separate weeks means two separate journeys.

Heavy and cheap is the bad combination

An item that costs ₦15,000 and weighs 8 lb costs more to fly than it cost to buy. Light and valuable — jewellery, phones, hair, cosmetics, sneakers — is where this service pays for itself.
