Aliexpress Purchase/courier(gurus Kindly Check In And Advise) by modath(f): 6:32am On Nov 17, 2012
I want to make a small purchase ( less than 1kg)from aliexpress,I know I can pay with my GTb naira mastercard, am only scared of the receiving part,I heard customs do hold on to your stuff and requests you come and bail it @ an exorbitant amount.
I need guidance.
Thanks.

Only if you buy what is prohibited in Nigeria. If it is not, you have no fear.

Nice piece of advise but he/she needs to always check the feedbacks of previous buyers of the same product about the seller and the products.

Mbah!Use UBA Africard on the card.
Just visit any UBA bank and request for personalised UBA Africard.
You don't need to have account with them before as all you need is just your ID card be it driver licence,national Id card,International passport and Utility bill be it PHCN bill or account statement.

Even not having any acceptable identity is enough for them to seize your products, the 3k is just away doing your friend a favour. I do collect mine with my international passport.

I do not know why we 9ja like awuf to much.
By law, as long as it is not duty free, you must pay all your duties, tax and excise on it.
They (shipper) will calculate all the tariffs and bank charges and pass it on till it gets to you since it is not bulk you get to pay more.

I have a shop at aliexpress.com over one year . aliexpress.com is like taobao.com which is popular in china over ten years.
Aliexpress .com is belong to alibaba company.
It is a online shop positioning on the client from world wide.
As we know China is a world factory.
There made the reasonable price markets
I think if you get rid of the middleman you will save more money buying from there.

You got it wrong man, the best Credit Card for online transaction is Access Bank Visa Credit Card. UBA Visa Credit Card is good, but their charges are too much. I have UBA Visa CC, but i dump it for Access Bank Visa CC due to their high charges.

Thanks for the info but do you use your Access bank visa cc on Ali express or on general online purchases?
