Air or sea: which should you choose?
| Air | Sea | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₦17,816 per kg | ₦577,940 per CBM |
| Delivery time | 15–25 days | 70–90 days |
| Charged by | Weight | Volume (size) |
| Best for | Phones, accessories, wigs, clothes, cosmetics, small electronics | Furniture, machines, building materials, large stock |
| Minimum | None | None |
| Customs clearance | Included | Included |
A simple rule: if your goods are small and heavy for their size, air is usually cheaper. If they are big and light, or you are shipping a lot at once, sea is usually cheaper. Use the calculator with both options to compare.
Why "no minimum" matters
Many shippers round small parcels up to 1 kg for air or 0.1 CBM for sea. If your item weighs 0.2 kg, you still pay for a full kilogram. On Gsubz you pay for the real weight, so a 0.2 kg phone case costs ₦3,563 to ship instead of ₦17,816. For sea, a 0.02 CBM carton costs ₦11,559 instead of ₦57,794.

On Gsubz, air shipping costs ₦17,816 per kg and sea shipping costs ₦577,940 per CBM (cubic metre), as of 29 Oct 2026. Both prices include customs clearance. A 0.5 kg parcel by air costs about ₦8,908.
How long does shipping from China to Nigeria take?
Air shipping takes 15–25 days and sea shipping takes 70–90 days, counted from when your goods reach our warehouse in China.
Is there a minimum weight?
No. Many shippers charge at least 1 kg for air or 0.1 CBM for sea even when your goods weigh less. On Gsubz you pay only for the actual weight or volume, so a 0.2 kg item is charged as 0.2 kg.
Is customs clearance included?
Yes. Customs clearance in Nigeria is included in the shipping rate. You do not pay a clearing agent or go to the port.
Should I ship by air or sea?
Choose air for small, light or urgent items such as phones, accessories, wigs, clothes and cosmetics. Choose sea for heavy or bulky goods such as furniture, machines, building materials and large stock, where paying by volume is much cheaper than paying by weight.
What is CBM and how do I calculate it?
CBM means cubic metre. Multiply the length, width and height of the carton in centimetres and divide by 1,000,000. A 50 × 40 × 30 cm carton is 0.06 CBM.
Where do I pick up my goods?
Your order is delivered to any Jumia pickup station in Nigeria that you choose at checkout, so you can collect it close to home in any state.
What other fees are there?
Gsubz charges a 5% service fee on the value of the goods. The fee is not charged on shipping or on local delivery within Nigeria. Delivery from our Lagos warehouse to your Jumia pickup station starts from ₦1,600 and depends on your state and parcel size. There are no agent or clearing fees on top.
