How I bought spare parts on AutoZone from Nigeria

A cool place to buy car spare parts online is from Autozone as they have a really wide inventory of auto spare parts on their online store. I saw quite a lot of parts that were not even available on Amazon.com.

One thing that may be impeding many genuine Nigerian buyers from US websites like Autozone is the accepted means of payment as they mostly prefer buyers to pay with a US Paypal account or credit card.

If you are in Nigeria and have a US Paypal account, US credit card or a US contact like I do, you can buy anything you want on US websites like Autozone and eBay.

Well, I had been searching for certain replacement parts for a delivery truck and since most of what I've seen in the Nigerian market are used parts, I decided to buy them brand new from Autozone after I was unable to find it on Amazon. Actuallu, I didn't know about Autozone until after I used Google to search for the exact part I was looking for and was directed to Autozone.

One thing I noticed about Autozone after adding items to my cart was that they had Paypal checkout buttons without need needing to sign up to be a member. Since I already had a US Paypal account with funds in it and my US shipping address linked to it, I just chose to checkout with Paypal and my order was scheduled to be delivered to my US address.

It's easy shopping with Autozone using your Paypal account but if you choose to checkout using their in-house payment system, you would need to sign up to be a member if it's your first time and you also need to have a US billing address and shipping address.

I made use of my US Paypal account and a US IP address to buy the things I want on Autozone and also shipped them to my US address while I would be telling my US based contact to forward them to me in Nigeria using DHL, Fedex or UPS later on.

Another way I could also have purchased car parts on Autozone, a US customers only website all the way from Nigeria would be by simply telling my US contact to buy them for me and I'd pay them with my Nigeria bank issued Visa or Mastercard.

I'm able to buy things on a USA based website like Autozone because I have a US partner to work with. Having my US Paypal account and my US IP are just extra things I also have.
