Pardon me please, it's been long since I ordered from aliexpress. Please does EMS-Kwara signify that my package has arrived at the post office? I used my current location as shipping address i.e ilorin

Yes, EMS-kwara means Ilorin post office, i.e at the EMS section at the left entrance immediately you enter the post office.

MY EXPERIENCE, FUNDING MY GOTOK CARD WITH BINANCE PAY

I have been seeing so many Gotok praisers here telling us to sign up with Gotok. That we can fund their card at cheaper rate of ₦755 per $1 or less.

It's all lies. Here is my experience today while doing so.

I purchased dollar at Binance this afternoon at the rate of ₦754.9 for $1.

I dedicated my ₦4,000 for this practical. With the ₦4000, I got $5.29 on my Binance USDT.

Then, login on my Gotok to top-up my visual USD card using Binance pay. I have to convert my USDT to BUSD. On the process, I was charged $0.095 and the money remain $5.19.

Gotok charges me 0.01% for topping up card and Binance charges 0.007% for conversation of USDT to BUSD.

I was left with $5.19.

Whereas, I should have just use Klasha or Chipper cash at the rate of ₦780 or ₦770 without any hustle.

4,000÷780 = $5.13

So because of $0.06, I have to go to all these stress in order to fund my card.

And at moment, $1 must remain on my card and can't be withdrawed. If you create a card with bank transfer, you cannot fund it with Binance pay and if you create a card with Binance pay, you cannot fund it via Bank card or transfer. So funny!

The worst of it all is that I cannot use the Gotok card to pay for anything on AliExpress. They will ask me for an Appeal, but when I opened the appeal page, I will not see the Gotok card among all the cards that I have used on AliExpress. When I want to withdraw my money back. I was left with just ₦2,900 out of the ₦4,000 that I invested.

I contacted their customer care, the system were telling me "We'll be back online on Monday". My first experience with Gotok.

I'm so disappointed!!

Did anyone experience this?

Sorry for the disappointment, but most of your takes are green.
1. You should've bought busd directly to avoid the hassle of swapping.
2. You can fund your gotok account directly from your bank.
3. You don't need to appeal your gotok card if you follow the correct procedure. I didn't appeal mine.
4. Fund your account with the exact amount you need for AE purchase. You'd always be at the losing end if you wish to withdraw.
5. For those that are familiar with crypto, you can get busd for 700# or less grin
6. Gotok still remains the best.

God bless you for this your comment! Prople need to know that Gotok is not enforced on anybody, and making use of the platform is purely a personal decision.
Personally, I've tried a couple of other fintech platforms but come to the conclusion that gotok beats them hands down. That is why I stick to it and can also recommend it for anybody.

Like you said, I've discovered that one can get dollar on Binance at a rate cheaper that even the cheapest rate at any point in time ( you must possess the know- how)

Besides, am also aware that as a beginner, one pays a certain amout as fee for conversion of usdt to busd. But with time, the conversion becomes free ( that is my personal experience – had 21 usdt converted to BUSD for free yesterday).

In addition, the only time I appealed my card was when my payments for a particular item were declined severally. Later I got to know that the problem was not with the card , but Aliexpress. They didn't want me to buy that particular item — a choice item with fantastic reduction in price.

Talking about customer support, I can vouch that they have one off the best supports ever because I've had the opportunity of chatting with them on 3 different occasions, and their response was prompt. Those were the times I had the payment challenge I made mention above.
....... Until I see a better option, Gotok remains my number one choice.

What I'm paying for is not even CHOICE item. It just usb bulb that I don't even need. I was just using it to test the card.

I was planning to use this Gotok to pay for this SanDisk Ssd, if I confirmed it working.

But I was disappointed.

Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by jetoraphy(m): 12:39am On Jun 03, 2023

All these while you've been battling with a "ghosted appeal", it was your phone cache that's been troubling you.

Sha be ready later to Appeal that card in the future. It may be a year from now or your next order. AliExpress did me that recently! Was forced to Appeal a card that I'd forgotten I'd ever used (Naira MasterCard) before I could purchase anything successfully. This was despite the fact that I've used my (Appealed) Dom card severally after the Naira MasterCard.

AliExpress is just mehh! Their algorithm get as it be.

You can't buy Dollars at 700 as at now though it might have been possible a few days ago when there was a rumour that CBN devalued Naira to ₦630/$ and will be maintaining a single exchange rate for both official and back market rates.
This news led to panic selling on Binance USDT/NGN spot market and some people that already had buy orders at around 700 were able to buy dollars for cheap.
