Vanney1:
Pls can someone help me to track my parcel from China post mall RH314673892CN

This is what is showing and I don't understand

Is your delivery address in Nigeria? Cos if it is not so, apparently from the tracking information, it appears the item was sent to and already delivered to an address in Brussels since 2nd of June.

"BE" as destination country appears to be Belgium. Nigeria is usually "NGLOS". Please get in touch with your seller to be certain on the information he gave you concerning your order.

@Vanney1, forgive my late reply.

Hi guys,

I need help. I did some transaction on aliexpress on the recent 11/11 sales but my bank UBA limited my transaction to $100 or less. I wanted to pick 3 phones but was successful on 1.

Now, is there a way I can find someone who could help to finish the remained transaction.

Someone having similar issue sent their customer care mail and this is their reply :



Please be informed that you need an IPIN for successful online transaction.



Kindly follow the steps below to generate I-PIN for your Visa Debit card:


· Visit any of our ATM

· Insert the card, enter the normal/regular PIN to validate the card

· Select PIN change (You will be given two options - PIN or IPIN)

· Select IPIN (Insert 4 digits code of your choice)

· Reconfirm by inserting the same 4 digits entered initially

· If IPIN change is successful, the ATM will display “Transaction successful”

Once the above is done, and you have your IPIN; you can use it to perform any online transaction worldwide.

Also note that the IPIN is usable only on VbyV sites while your regular PIN would still be valid for transactions on other terminal (e.g. POS and ATMs).


Even though I have an access account, I don't use it for transaction on aliexpress.

I prefer GTB

I want to buy a phone and some small orisshirishi stuffs from aliexpress.
I specifically filtered it for free delivery so how long will it take before it gets to me?
also will all stuffs be sent as a single parcel because the are from different vendors

Yes all items will be sent differently by different seller.
Note that you will pay in the post office before you collect your parcel.

what of when they'll reach Nigeria? do you have an idea?
Re: Do It Yourself Importation Guide Free - Season 2 by Bookiemart01(f): 3:39pm On Nov 20, 2016
They will arrive Nigeria at different times. Adding to cart and paying same times does not guarantee same day arrival because you are buying from different sellers.

Different sellers ship whatever item you buy from them. They obviously may not know the next seller you bought the other things from so there is no how they can ship together unless you are using a shipping company that will receive all your order and ship it once for a higher fee. They will arrive Nigeria at almost different intervals and if you are picking them differently, you may likely pay at each pickup depending on how your post office operate.

Hello! Kudos to everyone here, well am new to this importation thingy. I would like to ask some questions like can I use my atm to pay for things?. Secondly i would like to know which sites I should patronise DHGATE or ALIBABA, ALIEXPRESS. Thirdly how long is the wait time for free shipping to nigeria and also where will be the pick up station
Lastly how much capital can I expend on this as I intend to sell on makeup within the price range of lets say 1-5 dollars as that was very much abundantly seen mostly on DHGATE
Re: Do It Yourself Importation Guide Free - Season 2 by jose556(m): 9:08pm On Nov 27, 2016
Good work guys. I love the education I get from this thread...
My company is new, we are planning to go into the importation of android tablets.
I contacted one of the shipping agents here and he said shipping fee for tablets and phone was $15 dollars flat rate. At this price, it will be too expensive on the long run.
So we decided to setup our own shipping agency for our business alone.
I did some research online and I was able to get a China shipping company (not shopping agent) based in Shenghen (that's were our manufacturer is based),
Now, I need advice from gurus in the house on how to go about being a shipping agent, what documents, forms etc are needed? Thank you all in advance

Re: Do It Yourself Importation Guide Free - Season 2 by Lawsimon(m): 7:53am On Nov 28, 2016
My questions:
1. How important and necessary is a token in doing international online transaction, having gotten GTB master Card?
2. is it a must to have app such as trademanager when doing business on Chinese sites like Aliexpress or is there any way or method I can do business there without using the app?
3. concerning shipping, will it be advisable to use post office address closer to me than using my unknown home address? Also, if i'm using a shipping cpmpany like DHL, can't I go get my items at their nearest office than to use my home address that is unknown?
4. Having observed the level of my knowledge, what other things do I need to know about this business?
