Air Lagos Consolidation Service is T2T in that our rate includes transport from our terminal/warehouse in Romulus, Michigan to our terminal/warehouse in Lagos. Most international air service from the USA to Nigeria is based on a 220 lb or 100 kg minimum shipment. Air Lagos offers rates starting at $3.00 for a 1 lb shipment and as little as $2.25 per lb for 1000 lbs.
