Built in Lagos. For everyone the corridor has burned once already.

For years, getting goods across the China–Nigeria corridor meant knowing somebody. You DM'd a vendor. You paid into a personal account. You watched a WhatsApp group fill up. You took it on faith that the goods would arrive and that the person you sent money to wouldn't disappear.

The model works — when it works. When it doesn't, there's no paper trail, no policy, no recourse. The good operators carry the weight of every bad one.

Whether you're buying a unit, stocking to resell, filling a container or exporting from Nigeria, we thought the answer wasn't to make trust smaller. It was to make it bigger and more legible. To put the proof on the page. To publish the refund SLA where everyone can see it. To make the shipment move in front of you. That's the product.

Krated is run by a small Lagos team that works the corridor every day — no anonymous vendor DMs, no personal-account transfers. The team owns every shipment end to end, both directions.

On the ground: a NAGAFF-affiliated clearing broker handles every box that lands at Apapa. A Guangzhou-side QC partner inspects inbound shipments before they leave China. One coordinator stays close to every active shipment — named, with a real WhatsApp number.

Deliberately small. If the team can't make its first customers happy, it doesn't deserve the next ones.

  If we fail to deliver, your money is back.

  If a group order never fills, we message you for your bank details and wire 100% back within 48 hours. Bank transfer — not a card reversal.

  Both directions.

  Bring the best of China to Nigeria, or send Nigeria's minerals and produce back to China — the same simple way. One trade spine.

Krated starts on the busiest stretch of the corridor and grows along it — more goods, more cities, both directions, and the lanes deepening as we go. One honest shipment at a time.
