I have been buying stuffs on eBay since 2012. The first time I decided to sell was last year. I posted my 64gb iPhone 6 on eBay. I actually posted it as auction and the highest bidder bought it @ 420 USD.The buyer happened to come from Sri Lanka.

I was asked to ship the phone to Sri Lanka after the money entered my PayPal account. I used NIPOST first class mail to ship the phone Sri Lanka on the 14th of November 2016 and I was provided with a tracking number of which I gave to the buyer.After some weeks, my money became available.

I posted another Iphone 6. I was surprised when the buyer from Sri Lanka opened a dispute claiming he hasn't received the device. I tried but the tracking details showed its in Colombo.

The buyer escalated the case and they refunded him and debited my account. I went to NIPOST and they told me its not their fault that the iPhone had left the shores of Nigeria. They later agreed to send a mail on my behalf of which they did.

They even copied me and since then I haven't gotten any reply from both parties. Anytime I meet them, they sound so non chalant.

Please who has experienced such before? If I don't meet NIPOST, who else do I meet cos they were the ones that sent my parcel.

Please what do I do? They have my money as well as my IPhone. I am tired of calling them. Your suggestions here will be highly appreciated.

I attached screen shots of tracking numbers here.

You are just ignorance of one small thing,what if i tell that,the buyer lied to you?There is one thing about paypal which is chargedback,it always and will always favour buyer no matter what.I am not defending NIPOST but the truth has to be told.The recieved that phone and at the same time file a chargeback.He just robbed you off,next time any buyer that can not send his/her paypal payment as friend and family or gift,kindly refund them because it will later bounce back on you.

Mr man! Wetin carry u go nipost!? Why didn't u use dhl!?

sirlop:

No. Their charges are cheaper...i just decided to give them a try. I thought they will be as efficient as China Post, Hong Kong post, Netherlands post etc. Cos they fall under the same category.most items I buy on Aliexpress come in via China Post and Hongkong post.

those countries you mentioned are efficient countries. nigeria is inefficient .
i think if you follow up properly, they should refund cos its not your fault.
but from what i see, colombo is in sri lanka. so i think everything went well.
the buyer is trying to scam you. dont worry, as long as the tracking shows delivered to his adress, you willl get your money.
i presently have paypal chargebacks of close to 9000 dolls.
i have gotten 2500 already and i know i will get the rest. its a normal scam online.
but if its not delivered to the exact adress he gave you, you might loose the dispute. also, most disputes takes months to resolve.
if you know what you are doing, you wont loose.
btw what paypal do you use cos i know u cant recieve cash with naija paypal
it hasnt been delivered yet. i can assure you it will be delivered to the right adress

Codes151:

bro, dhl will consume more than half of that 420 he just recieved

lol.

Bros my own na from Lagos here. Person buy me watch and bangle for my birthday for Lagos, send am come aba. Na only bangle dem carry come my house. I no see watch!

how did the item make a u turn from India to Colombia?

Sorry about that. NIPOST is messed up. I tried using them once to send cream to Gambia. And it took them 3 months to arrive Gambia. And as at d time it arrived d cream has expired already

sirlop:

Nigerian Postal service

yeah I'm sure he knows it's just that their service makes them look nonexistent

So no one cud have bought your phone in Naija here,experiment gone wrong .

bros look well. the sri lanka guy don scam you. hope say u sabi say sri lanka wan resemble oshodi?

sirlop:

U are right...But Chinese guys use China Post. Other countries use their own national handlers. This was my first encounter with NIPOST and it turned out to be a very bad experience. The worst thing is..I even called one day and one of their customer care agents picked and started speaking Yoruba. I had to tell her I don't understand the language before she changed to English. she told me she thought it was someone else. Can you imagine that rubbish from a company like NIPOST.Anyway, thanks again for the advice.

The guys at NIPOST are criminals. I could remember vividly when the dollar hasn't appreciated so much, I was buying stuffs from Aliexpress and I do receive from Hong-Kong post or China post within 2weeks but whenever I go to collect my items at NIPOST, they charge me exorbitant fees even after clearing my shipping fees online. At times almost close to the items I bought.

You want to do real business with parcel ..you do that with NIPOST @ your own risk.. I won't mention those reliable mail carrier you know them..

yanshDoctor:
how did the item make a u turn from India to Colombia?

Colombo and not "Colombia" is the capital of Sri Lanka. What did you make in WAEC Geography?

Like I said before. OP has been scammed by the sri lankan

Mavor:

subtlemee:
What is Nipost?

Is it only pampers and condom you know?

newspostng:
nipost is only good for receiving goods.even items are still lost when they arrive naija in nipost care not to talk of using them to ship abroad. always use dhl fedex tnt and other registered express to send your goods outside the country no matter how expensive shipping cost is.you charge and buyers who need it will pay for it.incase of loss.express mail will be liable and pay for your goods.nipost is like nigeriAn politicians and treasury.once something is gone.it is gone without a trace and you can't old them liable

OK. Noted. Thanks

I posted on Olx, but they were pricing rubbish. I got a good deal on eBay. It was my mistake to use NIPOST.
