Replying to [adewale]: No need to trust them and save time to do business with them at 100% advance payment basis only. If they ask for sample, it should be sent only on payment (advance) or paid sample can be sent to them.
Replying to [adewale]:As a Nigerian, Member of AliBaba, I still find it difficulty to buy from AliBaba website and send the product to Nigeria. I always have the product send to the States then I ship them to Africa. It's a shame, to have to go through such process but I dont want to be seen as a fraudster when the products need to be send to Nigeria directly from the distributor.

We do not care where the buyer wants us to ship the products so long as we are paid for them. However, as you mentioned, we are extra careful when a buyer claims that he is in another country and wants the products shipped to Nigeria. In such cases, the buyer needs to reassure us that he/she is not a fraudster.
Now Now Laurence. That is not very nice. I agree one must be careful, however, there are GENUINE Business People everywhere, including Nigeria, and these people are trying their best to be recognised as such.
