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.

So you do this cheat just like me

At first I used my NIN slip and waited for days, only to realize I didn't initiate the process. So, use a recognized means of identification and it shouldn't take long to get verified. What means have you been using?

Exact same thing has happened to me, a phone ordered reached Nigeria since 31st October and tracking, showing it was in my Town yet had no further movement until date. Just a change from "sorting center" to "line Haul office" on the same 31st oct 2022 entry all still showing its in my city. Meanwhile on 17track website a new update as of 5th jan 2023
'Exception Handling. Sender/lodger to contact Customer Service at 1605" pretty safe to assume customs or post office staff are doing sharp practices

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

Eriokanmi:
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

I don't understand are we supposed to randomly start visiting all customs in our states or to go to Lagos headquarters or to airport or to apapa port looking for customs that have not contacted us at all. How am i supposed to pay duty when my phone is no where to be found in the first place??

letsfarmnigeria:
Phones and some other electronics attract duty so visit custom office or ask them in the post office they will tell you who to meet pay duty and collect your item .
Good luck

How to know which customs to visit nationwide

WiziAgoziee:
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

Guys please I need assistance
I ordered a phone on AliExpress since February ending and yet the phone hadn't come. I opened dispute but dispute was rejected saying there's nothing wrong with the shipping... That was about a month ago. I contacted AliExpress customer service and was asked to check my local post office, if it's not there I should collect a stamped letter saying so. I went to the post office and they said it's been with customs since 12th of march that they're yet to clear it so I should just wait. I asked for the letter but they refused. I went back to AliExpress and they said I can't prove that I didn't receive the phone without an official letter from nipost. Guys I don't know what to do. Had anyone experienced this? How did you resolve it? I didn't see phone, I didn't get my money back

Can anyone help me with the link to poco official store on aliexpress

Rastaramsey:
