Quick answer: As of October 25, 2026, we could not verify Sammot Transport & Logistics. We found no official website, no verified business listing, no CAC company record and no NIPOST courier licence for it. We also could not confirm an office address or phone number. That does not prove the business is fake. It does mean you should run the checks below before you hand over goods or money.
Key Takeaways
- No independent source we checked confirms Sammot’s location, contact details, prices or routes.
- Samotgroup.com is a different, US-focused procurement brand. We found no link between it and any Lagos delivery business.
- A courier company in Nigeria needs CAC registration and a licence from NIPOST’s Courier and Logistics Regulatory Department (CLRD).
- Ask for a written quote, pay only into an account in the company’s registered name, and keep your waybill.
- If a delivery goes wrong, complain to the company first, then to the FCCPC.
Disclosure and Why We Rewrote This Page
An earlier version of this page was written as a first-person review. No one at LagosMove has used Sammot Transport & Logistics, so that framing was wrong. The earlier version also listed prices, routes, contact details and customer quotes that we could not trace to any source. We have removed all of them.
LagosMove has no business, affiliate or payment relationship with Sammot Transport & Logistics. This page is not sponsored.

How to Check Sammot (or Any Lagos Logistics Company) Before You Pay
- Get the legal name. Ask for the exact name on the company’s CAC certificate. Trading names and Instagram handles can differ.
- Search CAC. Use the CAC Company Search service or go straight to search.cac.gov.ng. Confirm the company is registered and the name matches.
- Ask for the NIPOST licence. NIPOST CLRD says courier operators need a courier licence, renewed every year. Check that the licence category fits the job. The Special SME licence is for a business delivering its own goods with up to five motorbikes. It does not cover paid deliveries for other people. You can confirm a licence by emailing clrd@nipost.gov.ng.
- Confirm the office. Ask for the registered address shown on the CAC certificate, and check that it matches the office you are given. A forwarded screenshot is not proof.
- Get a written quote. It should cover weight, size, fragile handling, pickup, delivery and who pays if the item is lost.
- Pay safely and keep records. Pay into a company account. Keep the receipt, the waybill and photos of your item. Our guide on proof of delivery in Nigeria shows what to record. For breakable items, read our tips on packing fragile items for courier delivery.

Red Flags That Should Stop a Payment
- You are asked to pay into a personal bank account.
- There is no waybill or receipt.
- The account name does not match the company name.
- You are pushed to pay “now” before getting a written quote.
- The company has no office you can confirm, only a WhatsApp number.
If Something Goes Wrong
The FCCPC says you should complain to the company first and keep a record of its reply. If that fails, file a complaint through the FCCPC complaint portal or its mobile app, and attach your receipts and messages. The Commission sends a tracking code to your email. Its hotlines are 0805 600 2020 and 0805 600 3030.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sammot Transport & Logistics legit?
We cannot say either way. As of October 25, 2026, we found no CAC record, NIPOST licence or official website for it in the sources we checked. Ask the company for its legal name and licence, then confirm both yourself.
Where is Sammot’s office?
We could not confirm an office address, so we do not list one. Ask the company for its CAC certificate, which shows the registered address, and check that it matches the office you are given.
Is Sammot the same company as samotgroup.com?
We found no evidence that they are connected. Samotgroup.com describes procurement, sourcing and transport services in the United States. It does not mention Lagos deliveries.
Does a courier company need a licence in Nigeria?
Yes. The Nigerian Postal Service Act requires courier operators to be registered with CAC and licensed. NIPOST CLRD issues these licences and renews them every year.
How do I complain about a logistics company in Nigeria?
Complain to the company first. If you are still not satisfied, contact the FCCPC through its website, app or email. Its FAQ page explains the process.
Final Take
We cannot recommend Sammot Transport & Logistics because we could not verify it. Check the company’s CAC record and NIPOST licence before you book, get a written quote and keep your waybill.
