A few years ago, a bride-to-be walked into our office in tears. Her wedding was the very next day. The dress she ordered from the UK? Still stuck abroad.

She had assumed we could deliver it in three days — even though our stated timeframe for UK-to-Nigeria deliveries is 3–7 business days. That moment reminded us of a truth we encounter often: delivery expectations and delivery timelines don’t always match.

At Fez Delivery, we understand the excitement of waiting for an important package. But whether it’s a wedding dress, business order, or a gift for a loved one, knowing and planning around delivery timelines can mean the difference between joy and frustration.

Why Delivery Timelines Matter

Shipping across cities or continents involves multiple steps: pickup, processing, customs clearance, and last-mile delivery. These aren’t delays; they’re essential parts of ensuring your item arrives safely and on time.

Understanding timelines helps you:

  • Plan around important events.

  • Avoid last-minute stress.

  • Get the most out of Fez Delivery’s reliability.

International Shipping Timelines

We move packages swiftly, but international delivery depends on distance, customs, and logistics processes. Here’s what to expect:

  • UK to Nigeria: 3-7 working days. 
  • USA to Nigeria: 7-10 working days.  
  • Germany to Nigeria: 3-7 working days.  
  • China to Nigeria: 7-14 working days.

Working days exclude weekends and public holidays.

Local Delivery Timelines

For packages within Nigeria, here’s how quickly we move:

  • Intrastate (within the same state): Next business day after pickup.
  • Interstate (across states): 2–5 business days after pickup

Whether it’s Lagos to Lagos or Port Harcourt to Enugu, your package is on the move with speed and care.

Planning for Success

Before you start the countdown on your delivery:

  1. Check the timeline for your route — it’s the quickest way to set realistic expectations.

  2. Book early — especially if you’re shipping before an important date.

  3. Account for public holidays — both in the sending and receiving countries.

We can’t bend time (yet), but we can promise this: we’ll keep your package moving as fast and securely as possible. By meeting us halfway and planning with timelines in mind, you’ll help us deliver not just parcels but peace of mind.
