why do you say that

OP did you add customs charges/ tax or you just saw price on homepage and decided it was cheap without taking it to checkout?

Btw what site? AliExpress or JUMIA?

Dunno about before but customs is 20k and that'll increase price. Meaning the 49k will be 70k you'll be spending.
You'll get the phone in a few weeks to a month, also you might not get it.
Best option is up your budget and check in xiaomi thread store.

Contact Metrobox on nairaland, thats what he is into.

was there any additional charge, like custom/tax before it was delivered ?

The phone was around 56k but the custom charges and delivery to door boosted it to around 59k total i.e shipping plus phone equals around 59k.

1. Our airports are gradually opening, you will get your product.

2. Delivery would take longer. 2weeks turning to 2months. Not because of corona but due to low patronage of international goods, every order would stayed down to accumulate to a certain number before jetted out.
To reduce cost as most workers hv been laid off as well.

3. #48,900 for Redmi note 8 is too cheap. Thread carefully. if it is not a Covid-19 promo package deal, it is a Covid-20 scam kit.
It should go for about #56,200 - #60,000.

4. Don't buy any phone yet, we don't how long Covid-19 would stay with us. And how long the task force would continue threatening us with lock down instead providing framework to live with this virus n reduce its spread. Since it has come to stay n lockdown ain't working. So don't get the phone yet - Do giveaway.

5. Picking Redmi - great choice.

It ll end in tears

Op maybe you are not aware, since over 3weeks jumia have increased their custom charges from 4k to half the price of the item you are buying. So if the phone is 50k , custom charge will be 25k. Making 75k excluding shipping. My advise, buy locally as you will get a brand new redmi note 8 for around 70k. See for example.
