Tips on how to buy iron rods without being cheated in Nigeria.

1. Make sure you count your rods at the point of loading. If you fail to do so, under loading might occur with fraudulent sellers. 2. Make sure a trusted person accompany them to the site. 3. Allow the seller to bargain for the cost of loading BEFORE paying for rods. As he is keen to make a sale, he will not like the loaders to spoil his sales. Sometimes I allow them haggle for trucks too. But that must be before I pay or allow them to bring the truck. 4. Payment must be the last thing in the transaction. Get loaded first, count your materials and then pay the seller if all else is as agreed.
