Understanding Lagos delivery zones

Lagos is large enough that couriers typically price and route deliveries by zone rather than a single flat city rate.

The most common split is Mainland versus Island: a delivery that stays within one zone is usually faster and cheaper than one that crosses between them, especially during peak traffic hours.

When you get a quote, the pickup and delivery zones (not just the general city name) are what drive the price and estimated delivery window.

If you regularly ship within a specific zone, it's worth booking with enough lead time around rush hour to get the best delivery estimate.
