Tired of paying £5 for one yard of airstay in London? You’re not alone — and it’s time we talked about it.

If you’re a fashion designer living in the UK, you probably know the pain. One visit to your local haberdashery and your heart skips a beat — not from excitement, but from the prices. The humble airstay that cost ₦900 back home is now £5 per yard? That’s over 4,000 naira! Madness.

Let’s get into it.

1. Let’s Be Honest — You’re Overpaying

Whether it’s trims, zips, lace, or interfacings, buying these things in the UK is like paying premium for regular. And while the quality may be fine, it’s rarely better than what you can get in Nigeria — especially in trusted Lagos or Aba markets.

But here’s the kicker: when you calculate your design costs, you’re sinking money into overhead that could be cut by 50–70%… if only shipping from Nigeria wasn’t a whole wahala. Until now.

2. The Secret Nigerian Designers in the UK Are Catching On To

Say hello to DeliveryPage — a shipping platform built to connect Nigerians abroad with everything they love back home. And yes, that includes your beloved sewing accessories.

DeliveryPage lets you:

• Buy from Nigerian vendors (no markup, no middleman)
• Ship from Nigeria to the UK in 5–7 working days
• Track your shipment all the way to your door
• Pay less per kg (from ₦8,000/kg)

So now, instead of paying £100+ for your next set of sewing materials in the UK, you could buy them in Nigeria and ship them for less — and we’re not talking snail mail here.

3. Real-Life Math: Let’s Do the Numbers

Let’s say you need:

• 5 yards of airstay (₦900 x 5 = ₦4,500 ≈ £3.50)
• 10 zippers (₦200 each = ₦2,000 ≈ £1.60)
• 3 yards of trim (₦700/yard = ₦2,100 ≈ £1.60)

Total in Nigeria: ₦8,600 (~£6.80)

Same in the UK? Likely over £35–£50.

Now, add shipping with DeliveryPage at ₦8,000–₦9,000/kg and you’re still saving BIG — and getting more items for your money.

4. But Isn’t Shipping from Nigeria a Risk?

That’s the old story. We all know someone who got ghosted after sending money to a “shipping agent.” But DeliveryPage is built differently.

With verified vendors, live tracking, and no hidden charges, you get peace of mind and fast delivery — no middlemen, no ghosting.

5. Why This Is a Game-Changer for Your Brand

This isn’t just about saving money — it’s about building a more profitable business. With your overhead down, you can:

• Offer better prices to your UK clients
• Increase your profit margin
• Get access to a wider range of fabrics and accessories
• Maintain your Nigerian design flair without compromise
