Ofcos its not original Lenovo sir,ey are cloned tablets but branded with a popular name. Now that does not mean the tablet is not good or wont work well, they do that cos they know if they put thier own unkown brand name no one will buy hence that justifies the price. hope this helps.

Thank u very much sir. I actually suspected sth was wrong with d tablet. I undastand it might work fine but I don't like d idea of buying imitation products. That's d problem with all these china sites. Its hard 2 tell which is original or fake. Pls where can I get original branded tablets? Do u have any suggestions? Should I check ebay? Even if I check ebay and see a tablet that's located in china, should I still go ahead because its ebay or should I look for tablets that are located in d US or UK exclusively? Ur response would be highly appreciated sir

. Thankk you the additional charges of *10k expecialli the custom clearance. I dont understand will i pay dhl after delivery or before delivery or i will go to airport to cler it ni...please explain more on that because the manufacturer asked for my address in nigeria.Thanks @quality imports

The custom charges have to be paid before DHL delivers to your house or location. DHL will call you or send you a mail informing you that custom as requested you to pay custom charges of xxxx amount and all you do is pay the amount into the designated DHL account meant for custom charges and they will pay on your behalf and clear youru goods and then deliver to your location. very simple no hassles you dont have to go to the airport at all.

This is from my several experience though (4x) and hope this helps.

Pls look for in UK or US but also note that most products now are produced in China and thats because a whole lot of big brand now have thier factory sited in China for cheap labour and fast production resons but any original branded tablet will be more expensive than what they will offer you.

custom charge is 5% vat , 5% duty. Some items does not attract vat. The highest you are supposed to pay is 10% of the total cost. Go violent with them man. Items less than 10kg is not dutiable, less than $500 is not dutiable.

There's nothing anybody can do for you sir. Your tracking number didn't work for 2 months and you didn't do anything about it.
In future, track your items using the tracking number supplied by the seller around 3 to 5 days after it you get the tracking number. I use www.17track.net. Keep an eye on the days on your BUYER PROTECTION. I normally RAISE DISPUTE once my Protection is less than 30 days. Normally the Seller will state that your product is on the way, among their many responses asking you to cancel dispute.. DO NOT CANCEL DISPUTE until you receive your item AND CONFIRM CONTENT TO BE CORRECT.
About this order, take it as part of your LEARNING COST AS THE TRACKING NUMBER can not be traced. Better luck next time.

ask d seller to give you link to make payment for d new price.

If the seller agrees to the new price, he/she will change the price on YOUR order page after which you will pay. Any other arrangement will open you to fraud as you will not be covered by the Buyer protection which holds the money and pay the seller ONLY AFTER you confirm receipt of goods/item.

I use Mastercard issued by GTBank. It has served me well as I get alert when deductions are made as well as when refunds are paid.

Goods mentioned are not contraband. However, I let my sellers do the shipping. This gives me peace of mind as I confirm receipt of goods only after collecting from the post-office and confirming content to be as ordered.

Search for Language Global shipping or @Chinosxl. He has a thread for shipping to Nigeria from the USA, and I am a beneficiary of his speed and professionalism.

Some sellers do ship directly to Nigeria but some don't, so before buying an item always check if the seller will ship international and always read the item descriptions before any purchase.
