okay good . if you're buying very few of this listed items, i'll advice you to buy them in Lagos, look for someone who know their way around idumota market to guide you , you will be amazed how some items are very cheap there , and you get them same day compare to buying from Int'l websites like Aliexpress or Alibaba .

but if money is not a constraint and you're buying in a very large quantity , then you can explore other options like Aliexpress or Alibaba (not limited to this 2) .

let me add this, the waiting period is between 30 -- 90 days , no thanks to this pandemic .

Also Alibaba is cheaper but you have to meet the manufacturers moq before they can sell for you .

sorry for getting back to you late..

let's wait for opinion of others

Avoid AliExpress like a plaque,most items listed their are quite expensive.Use sites like taobao,1688,tmall
You can translate them into English,get your alipay or WeChat to make payments,buy and ship down to your address.

Do everything yourself,don't pay any fvcking agent to save cost.

aliexpress is for retailer, alibaba for bulk but you can still get retail at almost price of aliexpress, while taobao is like aliexpress in china and 1688 is alibaba in china tmall is for registered company like nike adidas and nokia and other uncommon companies so prices are always higher than taobao. all these websites are own by same firm. without you having a verified alipay account you cant buy on 1688 but you can buy on other sites , whereas prices of item bought on taobao and 1688 maybe cheap but at times quality are not the same with alibaba and aliexpress which is their gateway to the world.
