Please how do i order 2 of same item but want them in different colours on Aliexpress ? I'm not seeing an option where i can specify colour for each

Add what you want to cart. You can open communication with seller to enquire, but colour options are usually specified .

Although, I filled Agodi post office Post Office in Ibadan as my delivery address, my package was sent to Dugbe post office yesterday. I went to Dugbe post office today and I was told my package is not there that I should go to Agodi post office. I went to Agodi post office and I was told my package is not there either. Has anyone experienced this before? What do I do?

Guy, just give them some days, you will called to pick up. At times, updates don't tally with exact reality. I've seen many cases where tracking marks item as signed and collected, whereas, it has not even reached the destination PO.
Relax.

For me I wanted something affordable, durable with good sound and most importantly have Radio, many of the Anker speakers don't have radio, please any intending buyer should check the description for what you want before buying.

Quite right. Most Anker lacks vital FM Radio. But this soundcore's output is amazing. The only issues I have with it are lack of LED Display and required USB Cable to receive FM signals.

That 5k price was 11:11 store discount and aliexpress $4 coupon

The normal price now is about N10k - N11k


Anker SoundCore mini, Super-Portable Bluetooth Speaker with 15-Hour Playtime, 66-Foot Bluetooth Range, Enhanced Bass Microphone

So finally Customs Dan nack me maga today, first time in all my years of ordering with Aliexpress

Based on personal findings, I feel I'm understanding this customs issh a little, I'm not saying I'm 100% sure, but I just have to say my view and we all can follow up

I'll try to make this brief as I can.

The main point I want to note out to everyone is I advice that when you're ordering a device, tell the seller to tag the package as mobile phone and let the amount be probably less than $40.

I'm pointing out this cause what of what happened today. At the spot of collecting it, normally, I pay 400 for phones that land, but now it's been increased to 500. Right there today someone else with bigger package paid same 500, her package was tagged screen. On the floor, the one I thought was mine showed 'mobile phone' and I asked her to check if that was mine, she said it wasn't my name, then asked if that was what I was expecting, I said yes. Then the other madam that knows me well now came up and said she remembers seeing my package today, the kinda smile I saw, I didn't even code that gbese dey... Hehe

She just went to the shelve, picked up a bunch of bundled packages, then pulled out mine, showed me the paper and bill... Na there my head click well...
The bundle she pulled out, there was like at least 7-10 goods tagged by customs.

So down to my conclusion why I say you should tag your phones as MOBILE PHONE; It turns out that the seller that shipped my phone as PUZZLE TOY for $9.. you can imagine... Negodu nonsense Biko.

The custom guys opened the device sef, unsealed my shii and then resealed it back when they were satisfied before shipping it down to my state for pick up + bills... Chai

Obviously the personnel was sharp to feel probably it's of valuable content cause it's just too big to be a pickle you for $9 (that's my thought sha, cause it's obvious). That was when it recalled to me of the other products that landed the PO today and was correctly tagged, had no issues. I went back to review my previously bought phones that their packages was still available, 'CELLPHONE for $36.95' & 'ANDROID SMARTPHONE for $45), and recall I told you I saw one that was customs free today that read 'MOBILE PHONE'.

obviously this is just my own view on this issue, and I feel it's reasonable to make my conclusion this way, you can correct me if I'm wrong sha, I'm open to more views, It's not gonna be fair paying such charges Walahi.

BTW my bill totalled #7k+

Hopefully my Note 5 AI won't have the same issh, it's been shipped out already, so I can't message seller to make any changes, I'll just wait till it lands and I'll try to update here on the thread how it goes.

Las las I have my device at hand, thats what matters the most.

Sorry.
Lesson learnt the bitter way. All the same. It's a 50:50 gamble. Business involves risk taking.

Has anybody experienced dz parcel handled issue before on belgium post?

Just be patient with Bpost. Once it arrives, you will get it. They don't really update their tracking details like China Post and co.

Are you saying it's the power bank or an unregulated charger. Cos the swelling is a sign of unregulated overcharging. I'm pretty sure the power bank can regulate charge output.

Just my thoughts sha

Swollen batteries shows gases buildup inside them which are caused by overcharging of the battery due to a faulty battery, or faulty charging electronics in the phone or battery charger.

Don't worry, once you are back, go and collect it.

Interested; how can I contact you pls?

@ OP,
Actually, it all boils down to what you really want.
1.) Pray for divine direction. First step.
2.) Access your SWOT (Strength Weakness Opportunity Threat)
3.) Based on the 3., if your are entrepreneurially inclined, I suggest you stay back in Nigeria and do business. I tell you. Contrary to what most opinions here may suggest, it is actually BETTER FOR ONE TO DO BUSINESS IN NIGERIA. Contradictory enough, it's is foreigners : European, Americans, Asians and Arabs that tend to sniff the vast untapped business opportunities in Nigeria and consequently tapping into it. SAD SAD SAD!!!!!!?. If not, you are free to travel and LOOK FOR JOB abroad.
4.) In event of making up mind on business option; don't go for water production business yet. It might overwhelm you. Look for less competitive business and run.
5.) Subsequent to above, I will rather suggest that you look for business opportunities in SERVICE INDUSTRY and not MANUFACTURING for now. As an educated & exposed person, look for blue or black collar business such as Car repair & service business to undertake.
You will have to rent a space or abandoned filling station and set up a fully equipped workshop with all the repair tools, diagnostic scanners/laptop, welding machine, car spraying machine, a little inventory of modern engine oils & filters for car servicing.
Start up and the company (structured business with Account/Inventory Dept, Repair unit with You in admin/management Department.
Consult a Chartered Accountant/Management Consultant to draw up the operational, reporting, accounting, auditing/inspection structure and what staff to employ. Don't attempt to run a serious business with just your intuition and emotions. You will have issues on staff, funds, equipment and operational angles. Make it really formal. Use consultant to hire staff!! Pay and get the best. You know how bank use to recruit, do same in your business.
Then you are set to explode. Make the pace well arranged. Clients will be in waiting room watching TV and read newspaper while their cars are being fixed at the workshop. Take a cue from impressive banking environment.
- Interview and employ good mechanics, and all revenue will be paid to Account unit in order to avoid pilferage of funds. Acquire POS Machines, etc.
- Acquire basic tools such as spanners, Jack, Lift, computerised tyre balancing machine, tyre pump. Have the major units: Mechanic, Electrical, Tyre repair, Panel beating and Spraying section with functional equipment.
I tell you, mechanic business has now grown beyond what should be operating as road side business for school dropouts, rather, serious minded individuals should venture in and organise it in a way to meet up modern global standards.
All these new model cars don't really have competently equipped workshops to patronise, even when they have the money to spend, just no where to go.
If interested, search Google, make enquiries and venture in.
It is easy to learn business in the service industry than manufacturing.
All you need to do is to monitor the operations in line with your objectives.
Workers can be placed on either salary or with commission & bonus to motivate.
Ensure you have a repair equipment that is not common so as to attract referrals from other workshops and really boost patronage & revenues. That's the ultimate secret here.
**** God bless you

Lexus 5w 40 fully synthetic engine oil, SM rating is being sold for 5k in my town. I was amazed. It is made is Dubai. When I checked online, I discovered that Malaysians too were amazed by the cheap price there.
However, the container holds 4L and is soft.
Pls is this product ok generally and specifically for Toyota Corolla 99/2000.
NOTE : Presently, I'm using Hardex Eco full synthetic with 6months change interval.

To be fair enough, this phone has good specifications & reasonable camera performance.
However, I reserve my interest in it because of:-
* It heats up easily and displays warning sign especially during charging and usage.
* The the SMS from 2nd SIM doesn't indicate the contact's name on phone book when using hybrid SIM adapter.
* No FM Radio
* The OS User Interface is not fluid at all.
* Fingerprint scanner is not sensitive, it takes multiple attempts to recognise finger.
* Battery drains faster than my expectations for a 2,800mAh battery.

PayPal is still much available. You can use that. Inter switch becomes invaluable when one is not paypal compliant.

www.gearbest.com is one of the biggest and robust chinese online shopping stores for international customers
Emphatically, it has always been fun and thrill anytime one goes for shopping online. For budding shoppers aiming at exploring the frontiers of e-commerce for the first time, gearbest is a reliable online store to start from because of the many safeguards inbuilt. Similarly, for old and repeat buyers, it apt to point out that there has been quite some remarkable improvements, particularly in simplified payment processing. Hitherto, the only option of making payment for purchase on this site was via PayPal. We all know the complexities that surrounds the PayPal method. One has to register on PayPal, add & verify all the Debit or Credit cards. Cases of restrictions on PayPal accounts or limitations/restrictions to certain geopolitical regions still abounds. Many still dread the mention of PayPal

Happily, gearbest listened. The good news now is that, as a Nigerian based buyer, at the point of checkout, gearbest now make options available to smoothen payment process.

1. ) Pay with PayPal
2.) Pay with Credit cards
3.) Pay with Interswitch/Verve/Airtel/MTN

Baroba:
I will say 5/6 hrs, my girl has been using this device since December 2016.. Good screen on time, but it takes time to charge. If am in your shoe right now, na 4x I go buy. I have heard mentions of 15 HR SOT..

Talking of the 4a, the phone all of a sudden started trickle charging at a painfully slow rate, atimes it will just be stuck at 21% or less. And it doesn't get to 100% even if I charge it for 8 hrs straight.. I have tried all sorts of cable / adapters no show.. May be na to reset the whole thing, I went into recovery to see if I can clear cache, but the Chinese language come scare me, I quickly went back...phone was bought factory sealed ( pre order) from geek buying, before man come discover Ali.. any help will be appreciated.. forgive the long rant...

Find a way & flash an original MiUI ROM.
Geekbuying usually installs their vendor ROM on xiaomi which tends to give a lots of issues. My REDMI 3S from geekbuying didn't even recognise SIM card from onset, radio, Bluetooth, etc refused to power on.
Only a flash cured all the problem.

Rogerz007:

Just search & read online on how to register and validate your card on Paypal. You need to some days to do this.
