I use the aliexpress standard shipping, or sometimes China mail or so. Both of dem have tracking method, unlike free shipping wey no get tracking.

Usually for orders greater than $30 there's Free shipping.
Depends on the store though.

Mehn! I didn't notice the delivery option o. But I think it's free delivery.

I just hope I can track it.

But I noticed something. After the transaction, gtb just emailed me that the naira equivalent of blah blah dollars have been deducted from my account. They didn't state the amount in naira so I don't know exactly how much deducted. Is this normal? Also how will my order appear in the app? I see 'finished' in the order item. Is that how it is suppose to be?

If you selected a shipping method with tracking then you'll see your tracking number in Order Details.
You can track it on the AliExpress app or 17track.net.
Whether it's tracked it not you'll be notified by the post office when your order arrives.
Re: I Want To Make An Order From Aliexpress. Advice Needed. by sorextee(m): 4:54pm On Jan 20, 2017
If it arrives at d post office, they go call ur fone number way u write for ur profile. The things wey u buy, is it up to 100 dollars? Cos there re some items DAT aliexpress ships for you free of charge (eg phones, wristwatches) nd it will still arriv at due time.

I know it's free shipping but I don't know which shipping company they will use. I didn't choose any option.

You can still check your order detail, should show the shipping method. Anyway, you'd most likely get your order after February because the Chinese holiday is next week and airlines sef no go work. Good luck.

Screenshot your order page.
Re: I Want To Make An Order From Aliexpress. Advice Needed. by sorextee(m): 10:24pm On Jan 20, 2017
Check your ORDER page. I use my laptop to shop tho. Not really friendly with d app. U will see the whole details of ur item. Which includes the tracking number. Im sure the shop where you purchased the fone from would have mailed you by now that ur item has been shipped. Always login your aliexpress page, to get updates concerning your product.

GTB - 320/$, limit of $100 monthly. Access Bank - 325/$, limit of $100 monthly. UBA was 318 or so but they too have stopped Forex transactions.

Yes, sir.
If you want to buy an item worth more than $100 on AliExpress then use a different ATM card eg Access Bank to fund your AliExpress pocket.

I paid directly.

The device I ordered is below $100 with 3000mah battery capacity. I think it's okay for the price.

The guy above has answered the question. Was about writing something similar. The best option is to use Gtbank. Sha make sure say u no choose free delivery. If Na clothes u wan buy(shirts) make sure say u choose the highest suze. Cos their own xxl could be a M here in naija. Did dat mistake like twice, before I learnt my lessons.
