A customs officer informed me he neither understood all these customs charges by NIPOST nor where the money ends up & he accordingly regards same as suspicions!!!!!
He stated that under normal circumstances, you ought to be around when the valuation/assessment of your goods are carried out and how the rates are determined & you have a right to complain if you are overtaxed. Besides , customs duties are usually paid into bank account nor over the counter.
He suggested:
Locate Customs office @ your state.
Table a complain of impersonation/forgery about post office.
It may be helpful if you can go to the post office first and ask for the parcel as if you want to collect it, let them show you the customs charges, take a snapshot of the page. Print same out at business centres and approach customs office with it.
Tell customs that a staff of NIPOST is forging customs levy documents & embezzling their revenue & request for their intervention and advice.
Normal customs duty on a phone is neither arbitrary nor outrageous.
You suppose to pay it to bank after duty assessment.
Exactly kind of approach which I think can help curb this. Who knows such ideas Godvilla may have to share.

honestly, I lost interest trying to explain to some here about the said 'custom charge'. Yes, I wanted to but it was obvious majority were comfortable with it.
I had to make some contacts to know why the sudden strange 'custom charges'. Lo and behold, they were dumbfounded about the situation.
Well, the situation is under investigation.
If anyone is charged with suspicious 'custom charge', he/she should just post the name and address of the post office and the rest will be taken care of.

bros, you would have just said so. It has happened to alot of people and it was beginning to look normal, a little enlightenment would have helped. Just coming to say it's not true isn't enough, but adding a little more info would have been helpful.
Thanks for sharing, at least people will have an idea what to do when next it happens

Same Ikeja post office that billed a friend 9500 just last month to pick up a phone right? It is not about "small" post offices, it might be a scam perpetrated on a large scheme and it starts from the NIPOST/CUSTOM officials at the airport.
Wrong.... custom officials at the airport have nothing to do with this outrageous charges on phones en route post office.
Please, don't post what you don't know.

At least 3full charge and a half (50%)

I've used it to charge my note 5 (4000mah) twice, Lenovo Vibe P1 (5000mah).

So Xiaomi 2c power bank is really reliable.

Got mine from macbeyland..

My only advice, never charge it with tiger generator, and if you do it won't perform well.

How much?

It's even less than half the price because original Xiaomi Airdots sell for about $90. But I think the quality will differ.

Nonetheless, the price of the Redmi Airdots is really tempting. shocked

It all depends on how much resellers decide to sell it on Ali and co, I expect prices in the region of $20 - $25.. I ordered the Xiaomi airdots with Mi8, I would have waited if I knew this was coming, but no regrets..

Ok. My challenge with you from the beginning is that you keep on going on a long rant about how we are wrong regarding this custom stuff without literally providing any solution or way out. In life it is easy to "guide" people by sharing relevant information that you feel can help them and not by coming to say "this is wrong, false,untrue etc.
