This thread is created for winners of Customs Auction bidding to share their individual experiences at the point of taking possession of the items won.

This will enable people bidding and new winners to know before hand the challenges they are going to face and how to handle/ plan ahead.

I will start with my own questions:

1. After printing your assesment details and paying the Bid amount, Are there still any other payments to make?

2. What are the steps/stages involved in taking possession of the item(s) won?

3. Any other information.

Let us all share the experience.

Thanks

Observation committee chairperson well seated.

Interested!

Is there anyone on nairaland who even won?

I guess it's the usual naija way.

The last session which ended on wednesday 2/8/17 was really transparent. I didnt make it though as i came second for a particular item. The winner emerged at 11:59:59 which was really a good one for him. A friend won and from the mail sent to him, the item he won wont attract the duo 25% charges. On other fees, i hope to get more details when he travels to the command to claim the car. Generally, the auction has improved after several mails n petitions. The remaining is the non availability of dully registered FIRS on trade portal. I hope FIRS wud do something about it. I hv written FIRS more than 5 times about a particular TIN yet no response.

Kudos to customs Boss

Hes got this one right honestly

As in?

As in?

Dp they have a court order to sell someone else's property, in a normal world you can't sell without the title which can only be replaced by a controlling of forfeiture. Also the person who seized the property should never be the person to sell it

And you think Customs, as a body will just auction item without recourse to what the law says?

Another Question: Is that your colleague going with Notarised letter also as indicated in the terms and Conditions of claiming items?

Yes he will be going with the notarized letter.

I also won today

[quote author=otunbablacq post=59312575][/quote]

Congrats on your new won. We will try to see if we can get notarized letter tomorrow before proceeding on the journey that same tomorrow

just came back from Ogun State.

If your won item is in Ogun Area Command, please check the item no very well to know if your item is in Abeokuta or not.

For example, if your Item No reads: NCS/IDK/****, just go straight to Idiroko Border to claim your item.

If your item no reads: NCS/ABK/****, your item is at Abeokuta Customs Office.

Another thing: make sure you go with enough money for settlement if you want speedy treatment of your file.

Ask me any other question. I will be glad to answer you
