Guys, remember this thread I opened some months ago? See the link below

https://www.nairaland.com/7134182/phone-ordered-aliexpress-being-held

The link up here is where I alleged the phone I ordered from AliExpress was being held by Nigerian Customs. I think I was wrong.. Although, the tracking began to move the following day after it hit the Front Page which makes me feel it was being held somewhere and for some reasons. I eventually received the phone. The phone was delivered in just 9 days after my lamentations hit FP

I am so sorry for not giving the update. The phone was well received on the 28th of May, 2022. I didn't pay more than #200..because the label on the packet was almost not readable, so they didn't know it was a phone..Hehe

Don't mind the picture quality of the attachments o! It is of my old redmi phone which I used to snap it(camera got damaged). The new Poco phone's picture quality is so on point

I think I spent much less compared to what I would have spent if I had gone to our own naija store...(a difference of 15k or so)...I didn't make any phone call... I did a lot of tracking, I agree.. especially when I noticed the tracking didn't move for about 2weeks or so..

You should know that I wasn't really in need of the phone when I placed the order. I just loved what I saw on the page and I decided to place the order. If I needed it urgently, I would have tried a Nigerian store.

Congratulation

So you leave naija phone stores go buy fone online?oversabi dey worry you.

OK.
#The difference isn't much especially when you consider the wait, potential custom misbehaviour, and probably lack of warranty. Congrats, still. Some don't get their goods after all the stress.

As online-trader, you spoke well. I also did as a potential buyer.
