You Found the Perfect Product in a US Store. They Don't Ship to Nigeria. Now What?
You've been there. You found the exact Nike colourway you wanted, an Apple accessory you can't get here, a Sephora skincare set, or a Target-exclusive baby item. You go to checkout and — "we don't ship to your location." Frustrating, right?
That's literally why BiddieVariety's custom request service exists. You tell us what you want from any US store, and we buy it and ship it to you in Nigeria. No complicated workarounds, no juggling forwarding addresses. Just send us the details and we handle everything.

How It Works (It's Simpler Than You Think)
Step 1: Tell Us What You Want
Message us on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, email, or through our website. Include:
- Product URL — the direct link to the product on the US store's website (fastest way)
- OR a description — brand name, product name, size, colour, how many you want
- A screenshot of the product (especially helpful for specific colourways or styles)
- Your size and colour preferences — be as specific as possible
Quick tip: "Nike Air Max 90 in white/black, men's size 10" gets you a quote way faster than "white Nike shoes." The more detail, the better.
Step 2: Get Your Quote
Within 24 hours (usually faster), we send you a complete cost breakdown:
| Cost Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Product price | The exact retail price from the US store |
| Sales tax | 0-10% depending on the state we buy from |
| Service fee | Flat 15% of product cost for personal orders, 20% for business accounts |
| Estimated shipping | Based on weight and your preferred carrier |
| Estimated customs | Based on product category and declared value |
| Total estimate | Your all-in cost before you commit |
No hidden fees. You see every cost upfront before you approve anything. Learn more about our pricing.
Step 3: Approve and Pay
Happy with the quote? You make payment (bank transfer, card, or other methods), we confirm your order, and you get a timeline for delivery.
Step 4: We Buy Your Items
Within 1-3 business days, we purchase your items. You get:
- Photos of every item we purchased
- Receipt and proof of purchase for your records and customs
- A quality check — we inspect for defects, correct sizes, and overall condition
Step 5: We Pack and Ship
We pack everything professionally for international shipping:

- Wrap fragile items securely
- Consolidate multiple items into optimized packages
- Ship via your preferred carrier (we recommend Heroshe for best value)
- Send you tracking information for every shipment
Step 6: It Shows Up at Your Door
Your package arrives in Nigeria. How fast depends on the shipping method:
- DHL/FedEx: 5-7 days from purchase (3-5 days shipping)
- Heroshe: 14-21 days from purchase (10-14 days shipping)
- Sea freight: 8-14 weeks from purchase (large orders only)

Common Questions
What if what I want is out of stock?
We'll let you know right away and suggest alternatives. We can also keep an eye on it and buy it the moment it's back in stock.
Can you buy from US sites that need a US address?
Yes. We're US-based, so we can buy from any US website, including ones that are restricted to US addresses only.
Do you buy sale and clearance items?
Absolutely. We actively hunt for the best prices — sales, coupons, clearance deals. If we find your item cheaper than the listed price, the savings go to you.
Can I cancel or change my order?
Before we buy? Full refund, no problem. After purchase, it depends on the store's return policy — but we'll do our best to work something out.
What if something arrives damaged?
We inspect every item before shipping. If damage happens during international transit, we work with the carrier's insurance to get it resolved.
Is there a minimum order?
We recommend at least $50 to make it cost-effective, but we handle smaller orders on a case-by-case basis.
