With fuel prices completely changing business overhead, relying on just one guy with a bike is a dangerous way to run a business. But here is the catch: There is no single "perfect" courier company in Lagos. Every delivery network has a specific superpower.

Here’s the good news , you don't have to download ten different apps or fund ten separate wallets to use them. You can access and toggle between all of these top carriers directly from your Shipbubble dashboard.

Here is the ultimate breakdown of your 10 core Shipbubble delivery options and exactly when to use them.

1. Fez Delivery

  • Edge: Locker infrastructure and last-mile retail flexibility.
  • When to select it on Shipbubble: When your customers are complaining about high shipping costs. Fez is a favourite for budget-friendly doorstep deliveries. To cut costs further, Fez allows you to route packages to smart local locker hubs (Fez Safe Lockers) across Lagos for a fraction of the cost of traditional doorstep delivery. 

2. Kwik Delivery

  • Edge: Premium, point-to-point on-demand speed.
  • When to select it on Shipbubble: If a premium customer pays extra for urgent same-day delivery, choose Kwik. Shipbubble pulls their live GPS tracking link automatically so you can send it straight to the customer. This improves customer satisfaction. 

3. Speedaf Express

  • Edge: Unbeatable low-cost, high-volume shipping.
  • When to select it on Shipbubble: When you have dozens of orders going nationwide and keeping the shipping fee low is the absolute priority. Speedaf operates on a massive hub-and-spoke warehouse network. Do not use them for an instant 2-hour delivery, but absolutely use them to protect your profit margins on standard e-commerce packages.

4. DHL Express

  • Edge: The absolute gold standard for international exporting.
  • When to select it on Shipbubble: The moment an overseas buyer places an order in USD or GBP. Instead of walking into a physical DHL office and dealing with steep retail rates, you can book DHL right from your Shipbubble dashboard. This gives your fashion, beauty, or art brand seamless global customs clearance and 3-to-5-day door-to-door transit to the US, UK, or Europe.

5. Dellyman

  • Edge: A marketplace aggregator pool of independent local fleets.
  • When to select it on Shipbubble: When local bike demand spikes, like during sudden rainy days, festive seasons, or severe fuel scares. Dellyman helps you tap into backup networks of local courier companies, ensuring you can always find an active bike when your primary options are fully booked.

6. Chowdeck

  • Edge: Impressive rider density and rapid short-distance sprinting.
  • When to select it on Shipbubble: When you need a package moved instantly within a tight neighborhood grid (like Ikeja to Ogba, or Lekki Phase 1 to Ikoyi). They might be famous for food, but their fleet density means a rider can be at your doorstep in minutes for hyper-local urban runs.

7. Glovo

  • Edge: Multi-category multi-stop neighborhood fetching.
  • When to select it on Shipbubble: When your e-commerce fulfillment requires an on-demand concierge touch. If you need a rider to pick up packaging materials from a local vendor and bring them straight to your production workspace before finishing an order, Glovo’s urban fleet has you covered.

8. Errandlr

  • Edge: Multimodal transport flexibility (bicycles, bikes, and trucks).
  • When to select it on Shipbubble: When your inventory doesn’t fit into a standard bike dispatch box. If you are shipping bulk wholesale fabric, multiple boxes of inventory, or home decor items that require a car or a larger van, Errandlr gives you those options without leaving the app.

9. Courierplus

  • Edge: Heavyweight corporate logistics and commercial freight.
  • When to select it on Shipbubble: For structured, high-value B2B distribution. If you are moving large batches of stock from a main warehouse to retail distributors across major commercial hubs, select Courierplus for institutional security and deep tracking accountability.

10. Red Star Express

  • Edge: Legacy nationwide ground and air routing networks.
  • When to select it on Shipbubble: When you are sending highly valuable, fragile, or critical packages interstate. As a seasoned FedEx partner in Nigeria, Red Star is the option you click when a package absolutely cannot afford to face logistics issues on long journeys.

Bonus 

GIG Logistics (GIGL)

  • The Superpower: Massive nationwide footprint and trusted hub network.
  • When to select it on Shipbubble: When reliability and presence across Nigeria are your top priorities. GIGL is an absolute institution. If you have customers in secondary cities or distant states, selecting GIGL on Shipbubble gives you access to their massive physical drop-off and pickup centers. It is also a brilliant choice when you want a highly recognizable name to handle your interstate orders.
