01What Melon Does
Four jobs.
One place.
Pay
Pay your supplier in their currency, from naira. One quoted price, and a receipt for every transfer.
Ship
Sea or air freight, priced by weight before you commit. Book it in the same place you paid.
Clear
Customs handled against the documents you have already given us, so nothing is filled in twice.
Deliver
Delivery to your warehouse or store, tracked the whole way from the supplier to you.
02The Order Thread
Nothing falls between
the cracks.
Every payment, quote, doc, and update stays attached to the same order from the moment the PO lands to the day it hits your dock.
