List of online Shopping websites in Nigeria

Image result for online shopping in nigeria
In the past, about 10 years ago, Nigerians were probably just used to window shopping on the internet by visiting foreign websites where there were a lot of good stuff and products which people wanted but could not have due to the restrictions placed on shipping and credit cards. Yeah, in that past, not many Nigerians were used to buying things on the internet and getting a home delivery afterwards.


 Then, websites like Amazon and eBAY used to rule the local internet audience. Although few people were still able to shop online at US and UK stores from Nigeria, when you compare the cost of shopping for and shipping single items to Nigeria to their retail prices locally, it somehow defeats the whole purpose of saving costs on online shopping. Nowadays, there are lots of online shopping websites in Nigeria that can offer real low prices for items you may already be seeing listed on foreign websites.

 This is due to the fact that they can buy at wholesale prices from dealers abroad and ship at reduced shipping costs using sea freight rather than courier services which can be expensive.
The situation is changing now with the growth of online stores in Nigeria and there are a growing number of them. These are online shopping websites that allow people to pay in Naira, get a home delivery or do a pickup themselves.
Nowadays, Customers in Nigeria who want to shop online no longer need to make payments with Paypal, have a US shipping address or make use of a US credit card before their orders are executed. No, they could simply order online and even pay on delivery afterwards.
Online shopping in Nigeria is changing the way Nigerians buy and sell and it is not just products but services as well as being sold on the internet.
What I personally love about the growing number of online shopping websites
I've been doing a bit of browsing lately and got in touch with some of the top websites in Nigeria.

11. HelloFood: With an office address at Lekki Lagos and a website at hellofood.com.ng, Hellofood is also a favourite online shopping destination. It's not just clothes and computers that are sold online in Nigeria but you can buy food as well. Whether it's for a local dish like ofe Akwu, Fufu or other dish like cakes, spaghetti and Pizza, Hellofood is one of those few local websites where you can order for food and receive it same day. Hellofood has a wide chain of restaurants that they can link you with and all it basically takes is having a free account with them and then pay on delivery. You'll be able to choose from the local restaurants in your area, order food and have it delivered to your while it's still hot. Hellofood doesn't really prepare the food themselves but I think they do the delivery and packaging and collect the fee. What I lie about them is the way they list various restaurants and their menu so you don't have to stick with just one.
Note: This list is not conclusive!
This may not be a complete list of all the online shopping websites in Nigeria but these are the ones I've take most notice of.
