This is an error from Visa card that I have been using too

Hi Nairaland Family..

I don't know if I am the only one to have observed this. These days, when you buy items like phone from AliExpress, the tracking moves smoothly until it reads "Received by Local Delivery Company". Sometimes, when it gets to this point, it stays there forever..and if at all it leaves this point and you want to claim it in the local post office, you will be charged heavily by the people in the post office.

Bought so many items like a month ago, out of which was a Poco phone. All other items have been delivered except this phone which I first ordered. This phone got to destination country (NGN) on the 8th of May before other items...but till now, tracking shows it hasn't left the custody of Nigerian customs.

What is the problem exactly? Is it that the phone has been "hijacked" OR the process to clear items like phone is different from wears and other items?

Please help

If you don’t follow up just forget your goods.

Nigerian customs will ask you to pay import duty on the phone. Next time use private shipper.

From my experience 4 years ago... custom seize my order containing 2 watches in wuse post office when they trackd my order they took me to a room with custom officer the man start asking me about the price i devalue it he ended up finding details of the price brought out official catalogue to calculate the percentage and gave me one big bill of around 20k i ended up giving hin 5k. i was naïve. if na now you go give me details to pay on remita direct to govt. or no payment in dat case they will calc high amount my advise go there and negotiate for ur phone with 5k. they will tell u you use aliexpress to evade custom charges just be bold. Its fuckd in naija. now i do easily received my orders here no charges what so eva

I doubt that. It's always stated in the terms and conditions that the buyer might be subjected to paying custom fee in accordance to the regulations of individual countries.
They actually do. Been using them even while they were shoptopmydoor till date. They handle everything.

Go and pay your duty op, as a good Nigerian. Any item that exceeds 250usd must attract a duty. That's the only help...which is to go meet them and pay the right amount as duty. Ciao

Speedaf now delivers items tagged 'tracking available' to your doorstep such as phones.
I've bought many of such items via Aliexpress this year and once I see 'received by local delivery company', then I know I will get the item the following day.
However, normally before it gets to the delivery company, tracking ought to show 'custom clearing started', then 'custom clearing complete'.
What people do myself inclusive when ordering items that might require custom fee like phones is tell the seller not to label it as phone. U tell them to write something like MP3, radio etc and also write low value like 30 dollars. That way, u will likely bypass custom fee.
Try contact Speedaf if they have ur item.
Is speedaf the default delivery mode in Aliexpress?

Re: Phone I Ordered From Aliexpress Is Being Held By Nigerian Customs by StreetMedia: 2:10pm On May 19, 2022
Op... The tracking stated 8th of May and today is 19th.
It will pass thru WH to DC before been dispatched to you.

Relax a bit more.
Re: Phone I Ordered From Aliexpress Is Being Held By Nigerian Customs by Addy615: 2:15pm On May 19, 2022
Here is how it works:

- Download the barter app from your google or iOS play store
- Create an account(you will be required to input your BVN for verification purposes)
- Fund your wallet
- Proceed to create a USD card(you will be charged a total of $7, $2 card creation fee inclusive), the money will be deducted from your wallet and the exchange rate will be displayed at the point of transaction.

I have been using Barter for over a year now and their service is quiet exceptional

Aliexpress still accepts Mastercard, the issue is that before now the spending limit on international transactions as stipulated by CBN was 50USD, in march the spending limit was further reduced to 20USD. So your order should not exceed 8,500NGN

Homeboiy:
My problem is that aliexpress no longer accept mastercard


I don tire

And Access bank Visa card charges too high

When you reach the delivery section, select "from china to nigeria via Aliexpress standard shipping" and your order will be shipped thru Speedaf
