Zenith card is working well

390 - 400 per dollar

$200 monthly limit


About the ECOBANK update that i promised

I have been able to use $235 on my ECOBANK mastercard this month, but i have to use it for small small transactions like $15, $50, $70 per transaction, i think ECOBANK monthly limit is still up to 500...

More updates soon

Thanks for this. I had assumed that limit is about 20 USD monthly or so after they transiently refused further transaction on the card.

I will head back to try further use.

Guys AliExpress don dey para o. Imagine losing three disputes back to back within a week. These are SingPost items that have either "expired" status or "EDI received" for the past 120 days, remained untrackable and remain undelivered. These guys just dey dash out "invalid reason" like gift. I opened all these disputes like some 7 days after purchase protection expiry o, and that was even after sending message to the seller to extend it for about 30 days without response. I will now open dispute and attach evidence and the useless seller that has remained blind and deaf all along will surface from nowhere pleading that I close the dispute.

Instead of the useless AE team too to do diligent work, dem go just dey dash out "invalid reason" all over the place. I'm sure this attitude will soon embolden suppliers to commit fraud of refusing to send item but give false impression that they do. After all covid-19 affects shipping and AE have begun to favour them unduly in the arbitration that follows.

Dollar-Naira imbalance is worsening, even the Zenith card I hoped to get is still pending 4 days after it should have been ready; I kept getting this "no network to print card" complaints from their custocare, which seems to wanna validate the claim by someone up here that banks are reluctant to issue out new MasterCard. Our local PO by their attitude with poor logistics are making an already bad situation worse and more difficult to solve because as it stands, you can't entirely say if the AE team is wrong in their insistence that parcel has reached your country and asking you to visit your local PO.

Finally, this my back to back loss of dispute is the last straw for me. I think I'm done with purchases on AE for now. I will weigh my options and source a reliable 3rd party procurement and logistics service here on Nairaland. Then purchase my items mostly in bulk now (collate all the different items from the different sellers on AE) before having them shipped rather than the piecemeal ways AE does.

I got my card immediately after opening my account. It was seamless. Better to buy with DHL, than wait forever for AliExpress slow shipping.

I don't think anybody has won appeal on AliExpress..dey wl never change diet stand..very evil robots

They are not robots. They are people but just unreasonable with reviewing arbitration following appeal.

Account opening was seamless and in fact I got the account number allocated to me within 10 minutes of reviewing my mandate, while I was still seated. However when I demanded the ATM card thingy, the marketing guy said they will still have to check out the address (KYC things) before I can proceed to that next stage.

That’s a lie. The marketing guy is professionally hiding some fact. Before account is opened at all, the bank would have checked and verified all documentation (Kyc) and marketer must have done his due diligence by physically visiting your address and confirming you live there. (Though they hardly do that this days especially for a savings account). If not the customer service officer won’t even bother to key in your details into the system for account opening process.

It’s possible the branch is short of naira master card or the customer service person just don’t want to go through the stress at that moment.

ATM cards are instant this days.

That's how they roll.

Good evening guys,

I have been following this thread for a while now, making contributions here and there when I can, but I want to make an observation about this dispute thingy that AliExpress is using to deal with alot of people.

See, there are various shipping methods on AliExpress, Cainiao, Yanwei, 4PX, Singapore post, China post, Aliexpress standard, China small packet etc. Now, some of there shipping methods are designated with *Tracking Available* while others are *Tracking Unavailable*.

I believe disputes will go more in our favour if we start using more shipping methods that has available Tracking. Because even the the Aliexpress team that settles these disputes, they cannot possibly know exactly where an item is, all the info you have is what they have.

Just a suggestion/observation, what do you think?

Guys how can I withdraw PayPal funds to a UK bank account?

Mine was trackable & I still lost d case

Does buying with dhl ALWAYS attract customs problem??

lavenderjade:


Nope... Its over... Dey simply repeat wat de judged earlier in dispute.. Many sellers mor go de ship real items now a d aliexpress go de release payment to them.. Sellers wan de cash out

completely over coz by then the money would have been sent to the seller and the seller might not even reply any more message from you, lastly you'll figure out that all the sweet talk and honesty from seller before making payment is just trash.

You dont know what you are saying man.... Relax

Oya track that

Does buying with dhl ALWAYS attract customs problem??

Only paid once. The goods that I paid for weighed 10kg. Others just sail through with no charges...

Incase you guys dont know that there are some people in this country that will win the dispute, get the refund and later get the package, most of them wont bother to refund aliexpress/seller.

Imagine someone who got refunded for a phone around(200 dollars) and after few month, he was called to pickup his item, he or she will say awoof..

If you notice one of the screenshot uploaded here recently, the company said NIPOST no longer update their tracking which is true cuz even nipost website is purely useless. The question is how will alliexpress know whats going on in our country.

The fact is once its shipped to NG/LOS or shipped to destination country bla bla bla, then they have done their part because they can no longer track it if nipost decide not to update the tracking info, its now left for our lazy and useless nipost to do its own part...

So guys dont blame them o



This is Nigeria

Lemonz:

Nope. There may be some items that are tax free. Also some small-sized items does not attract custom fee, there is an exception to mobile phones, tablets and computers sha as those ones will be heavily taxed irrespective of size.

About three weeks ago, I took delivery of an AE parcel which I selected DHL logistics option for and I specifically instructed the seller not to change from my DHL option under no circumstances.

It was two units of MPPT charge controllers. I was pleased, but not surprised that customs charges was not on it. It seems charge controllers of modest numbers may be excepted from customs fees. This used to be the case with small-sized solar inverters before too, but some overzealous officers at that customs have started charging on those. Also some NIPOST agent lie about customs charges when they are the ones doing the end delivery (like with EMS package for example)

Yea, it's true sha. You can always check the profile to the members vouching for a particular merchant. If they are mostly newly created accounts, just know it's dicey.
