Okay, first off. Shouldn't there be proof of some sorts.
That said, I think some people are lucky with good buys from Aliexpress, while others aren't so lucky. But they assure you that if you don't receive your package, you can get your money back.

Personally, I ordered two premium watches (so I'm told). I haven't received them. I also ordered one other watch. It's close to 2 weeks now. More than sef.

Someone narrated his experience of buying an Asus device from there (I think), and he had an issue with it. He tried ordering the parts online and the price was close to what he bought the device for.

There was also an issue of an Elephone that packed up.

I have also read of situations where people neither got their package not their money.
There were also instances of no package, money returned.

So, for me, it's a risk.
But then, what isn't a risk in this life sef.


Madam, i thought we had educated u about how this works.

About your watch, it will get to u, it depends on the shipping method u used. Does it have tracking number? Can u track it?

If anything goes wrong, like u didn't receive your watch, be rest assured, your money will be refunded 100%.

Am still rocking my Xiaomi mi max prime (tecno can't even touch this despite the huge price difference)

What the OP is trying to stress here is that you should buy a gadget that has a customer care office you can get in touch with anytime.

If one needs to buy from China, make sure you have a physical contact there before you hear stories that touch.
really?

We don lecture her taya, why did she even went ahead to order 2 watches, another one again before receiving the 1st one?

I guess the deal was so good, she can't resist the urge to buy more.

Is time to make some comparison

My phantom 5 screen got broken and tecno cc charged me about 25k, upon that I have to comeback in 3wks time. Tell me d difference now. I abandoned the phone and went for my present phone letv x500 2yrs counting now.

Reppearing tecno here sometimes is more expensive than reprearing some known Chinese brands.

Hello Nairalanders,
So I've been seeing this thing on Nairaland where people say that they are ordering phones from Aliexpress.
Hmm.
Let me narrate some experiences,
I have this friend that wanted to buy a phone and was attracted to the specs (and price) of phones that he saw on Aliexpress so he ordered one.
Only for the phone to pack up a month later, when he call their customer care to get the replacement parts he was told that he needed to order it from China, and the parts cost more than the price of the phone.
Really bad abi?

Somebody also bought a Samsung phone from UK and took it to a Nigerian service center and they told him that they can't touch it because it's not from this (Nigeria) region.

My advise is for you to buy from reputable home based brands like tecno and the like. They have service centers all over the country that you can go to if your device has issues (I have even used tecno's Carlcare to repair something on my phone and they didn't charge me anything), several brands like Innjoo,Infinix and co also have these service centers.
Don't play yourself, protect your hard earned money.


Uncle Lalasticlala and mynd44 please help me push it to front page abeg.


Smh, why even take h serious?

You don't have first hand experience, just my friend, this and that.
If you are smart enough, u will know that, in every situation, there must be a way to work around it.
If i dash u my Xiaomi, u wan try am?
If u nt here to troll, then, let me add,
Wen u don't know about something, u ask. Your friend could have bought some untrusted brands. If u want phones,

Check,

Xiaomi,
Lenovo,
Zuk,
LeEco,
Huawei,
Honor,
ZTE, and more,
You will be amazed how much your local brands have been skinning u. The last time i checked, tecno and Co are not reliable despite the overpriced garbage. I had to make research and thank God, I find Xiaomi

You do realise that you can engage people online without insults right? That is the mark of a mature mind
I am only stating experiences which can help people because people need to know the full truth about buying phones online when you can buy from reputable brands like tecno, infinix etc.

Sorry about that.
There is no truth in what u depicted up there. Next time, make research before you post, it makes someone look dumb.
For the record, stop calling infinix, tecno, reliable. Go to their customer care in opebi to find out. I used to praise them, until my eyes open. They are crap if u compare them to moat of the phones we buy from China.

I don't believe u work for tecno, but I tell u today, the cost of buying/maintaining tecno/infinix is as high as foreign known brands if not higher. those chinese brands are more qualitative compare to what tecno/infinix are offering here.
