Speedaf now delivers items tagged 'tracking available' to your doorstep such as phones.
I've bought many of such items via Aliexpress this year and once I see 'received by local delivery company', then I know I will get the item the following day.
However, normally before it gets to the delivery company, tracking ought to show 'custom clearing started', then 'custom clearing complete'.
What people do myself inclusive when ordering items that might require custom fee like phones is tell the seller not to label it as phone. U tell them to write something like MP3, radio etc and also write low value like 30 dollars. That way, u will likely bypass custom fee.
Try contact Speedaf if they have ur item.

Cheating the system writing low value grin grin grin grin

Hi Nairaland Family..

I don't know if I am the only one to have observed this. These days, when you buy items like phone from AliExpress, the tracking moves smoothly until it reads "Received by Local Delivery Company". Sometimes, when it gets to this point, it stays there forever..and if at all it leaves this point and you want to claim it in the local post office, you will be charged heavily by the people in the post office.

Bought so many items like a month ago, out of which was a Poco phone. All other items have been delivered except this phone which I first ordered. This phone got to destination country (NGN) on the 8th of May before other items...but till now, tracking shows it hasn't left the custody of Nigerian customs.

What is the problem exactly? Is it that the phone has been "hijacked" OR the process to clear items like phone is different from wears and other items?

Please help
I have lots of items stock at Nigeria custom

hide your tracking number and your house address. @the topic, Dont rely on that , go to the nearest post office, it might be there.

Phones and some other electronics attract duty so visit custom office or ask them in the post office they will tell you who to meet pay duty and collect your item .
Good luck

You were not informed? Gone are the days Nigerians enjoy freedom of ordering things and receiving it with ease. If you even see your phone sef thank God but seriously custom billing awaits you

I doubt that. It's always stated in the terms and conditions that the buyer might be subjected to paying custom fee in accordance to the regulations of individual countries.
Bro don't argue about what you don't know. Shiptonaija takes care of all that.
Re: Phone I Ordered From Aliexpress Is Being Held By Nigerian Customs by sterlingD(m): 8:58am On May 19, 2022
I thought these fees are factored and summed into the total amount to pay for the product before processing for shipping and delivery.

It's standard practice everywhere in the world bro. You need to pay custom dues to get items from one country to the other.

If you go for cheap items from a merchant that cheap too and doesn't include the custom dues in his charges, you will be required to pay it at the destination country.

I had to pay additional custom charges shipping firms email to me for items to be allowed, but I think it works differently in Nigeria - the customs want u to come to their office and sometimes open your package to see the contents, which is weird in my opinion.

Nigerian custom officials are naturally corrupt. Even if the custom dues have already been paid by the shipper, they often still want you to come and pay them more. It's all about money for them and it's been like that for decades.

It’s advisable to use third party shipping companies when buying phones from China.

Which ones can you recommend?

Relax the item will get to you, if you dont get it by the end of the time allotted , you can ask for a refund, at times your item gets shipped to another location, Aliexpress is notorious for issuing one tracking number to different buyers.
