I don't think so. The seller has a good customer rating. The last mobile phone I bought was from his store

Unless..
Aliexpress should do and deliver my phone..I can't be phoneless for another 3 months

Here is the reply I got from a seller when I asked him for such an offer:
The mobile phone I wanted to order goes for 129 usd. I had asked him to split the payment into 80 usd and 49 usd to enable me pay with 2 different debit cards. He accepted split payments, but offered to make it 100 usd and 29 usd instead, on the condition that if the percel get lost in transit, I would only be entitled to 100 usd refund, but forfeit the 29 usd.

Lol..is he planning not to send it at all?

Phones are different stories l, you should know that by now.

Nawa o.. I wonder why it's so. I was hoping and still hoping it enters this week because according to my estimation from other buyers who bought before me, it is expected to arrive destination this week

And someone still got AESS in 2 weeks

I think this was before 11:11. I've barely seen anyone happy with AESS shipping speed after 11:11.
My phone despatched since 12th Dec is yet to reach destination. Are you kidding me? My hands are crossed sha

The second wave of Covid-19 is responsible, they already said shipping will be slower than normal till things ease off.

Here we go again.. I have about 20 unregistered items just this Jan and almost all have arrived destination country in less than 2 weeks but registered and paid orders are taking eternity to even process inside China.. I still don't understand the mechanism of shipping, lately

AliExpress is becoming dull for my liking

I swear.. most especially AESS.. I placed an order since 1 week now using AESS and up till now, there isn't no tracking update. I'm beginning to think that the problem now isn't solely from Nigeria.. China is also messing things up lately..

Five months is too long nau even if they are using ship to deliver their goods and the ship is being paddled with rows instead of an engine e no suppose pass 3months nau. am Not d only person da use 4px gann lol deres someone else out dere with my shoes

Obviously, there could be someone else but no old member of this thread or regular aliexpress shopper will intensionally choose 4px , unless it was chosen for them against their wish by dubious sellers.. sincerely speaking, before I discovered this there sluggish way, I use them for almost all my untracked orders ranging from 27 -35 orders then because it's free most times and the fastest took around 4months plus to reach my local post office.. some never came. I should have known better sha. Ever since then, I developed phobia for 4px..
I also wonder if they ship via the sea sometimes because things doesn't just add up

Its true sha.

but sometimes u don't have a choice. like me i made an order recently and choose cainiao super economy and in the order message i beg the seller that if possible he should send it via yanwen because its more faster (i did that for many sellers and they consider it). But this seller went and choose 4px for me.

So on tracking i saw "YANWEN pick up scan" i just relax, after some days i track again and its changes between YANWEN, cainiao and 4px.

i then ask d seller which shipping method he used. He said 4PX, i just keep quiet and waiting for BP to expire.

if it comes on time good, but if not na straight to DISPUTE ooo.

Note: i usually receive my package shipped by yanwen mostly 2weeks after it arrives destination

It's true, I get this sometimes.. Most idiotic sellers will still go ahead and ship with 4px even after paying for another shipping courier and messaging him to adhere to that. In this kinda situation, I don't say anything, I patiently wait for 90days and God help him if I don't receive it. Na dispute straight. even if it comes after 5months which might be useless, I won't refund him.. that's the price he pays for being stupid..

The only problem I have with some of these orders is that they were purchased with proceeds of bonus buddies.
As we all know, bonuses can't be refunded on AliExpress especially after it's validity period..

If na 4px, na 5months be the minimum wait if you're lucky.. everybody wey dey 9ja and follows this platform for at least 3months now should know that 4px is no good and should try as much as possible to avoid it

I FINALLY GOT MY PHONE AFTER 2 FAILED ATTEMPTS

Attempt 1: HUAWEI P SMART 2019. I ordered on 27-03-20(before the nationwide lock down),
Shipped 28-03-20.
Arrived my local post office for pick up on 02-09-20, after buyer protection had ended and I had gotten my refund, and ordered a redmi 9. So I sold it. (big mistake)

Attempt 2: XIAOMI REDMI 9. Ordered on 13-07-20 during the mid-year sale, shipped on 15-07-20, dispatched to overseas country on 30-07-20. Up till now it's still on despatched to overseas.
Buyer protection ended, got a full refund, then waited for the 11.11 sale to make attempt 3(realme 6)

Attempt 3: REALME 6. Ordered during the 11.11 sale shipped about 2 days after(though logistics company declared 18-11-20),
Despatched to overseas on 25-11-20
Had hoped it would arrive before 25-11-20, but sadly it didn't.
Moved my time expectation to before the end of the year, but was disappointed.

To cut the narrative short, it arrived IMPC Ikeja 05-01-21
Got to my local post office yesterday (07-01-21)
Picked up today (08-01-21)
I finally have a phone. My tablet will rest a bit

Also picked up the 2 case I ordered for it today. Both arrived before the phone itself.
The One in the pix took roughly 25 days to arrive.



This is good news.. Happy for you but this is still November orders.. I want to start seeing such updates on December orders

Please, there are some items that I will want to purchase but when I click on item and choose the specifications, I will see this item cannot be shipped to your country, is there any way to get around this without shipping to a friend in another country.

Picture search is your best bet here..
Just save a clear picture of the item you wanna buy and use the camera icon beside the search bar to image search it

It might and it might not arrive that fast. But from my observations you should get your package in no more than one and half months if you use AESS.

For my last two orders, one got to me in about 1 month and a week. The other was just under a month.

For the current orders. Two were shipped about three days ago. One is already dispatched to Nigeria. The other is yet to be picked up by the carrier. The last one is sort of a scarce item, so it's taking the supplier some extra time to have it shipped.

I've noticed that there's been issues with items arriving in Nigeria and taking quite a while to get to local POs.
For my shipping address, I use the headquarters(shipping headquarters that is) of Nipost in Abuja. It's easy for me to drive over there and pick up the item. I feel that cuts off the extra processing time it would take to sort the item, move to the next post office and the next... before it gets to my PO. But this is purely anecdotal I don't have any hard facts to back it up.

Thanks. I hope these items come in soon.. latest first week of January

Please, I will like to know an estimate of the additional custom duty paid for the phone that you purchased, I wanted to make a purchase but someone is telling me that the additional custom duty for the phone will make it more expensive than the price in local stores.

I've bought about 3 phones from AliExpress in the last 2years and never paid any custom duty.. I only pay from N200 - N500 to the postman depending on the phone's weight and how bulky it looks..
I think packages that attract custom duties are ones shipped via express couriers like DHL or FedEx but if you ship with AESS, I think you're in the clear. All you have to pray for is swift delivery

Thank you. Tried talking to a seller about splitting payment into two but he said he can't do that.

I'm just wondering if I asked him the right way because a couple of people keep suggesting that

There's no two ways to ask that.. some sellers don't just accept such...
This $200 ISH is happening because of the stupid country we found ourselves in and our shit head leaders and their crappy policies that have devalued ₦ and unleashed unnecessary hardship on us..
I've paid the painful price by going for a second choice phone because my first choice is above $200.
My advice for you is to either look for someone you trust that uses a dollar account and make the payment, or alternatively look for a second choice phone below the $200 mark.. you can as well make the purchase locally if the extra amount wouldn't bother you.


On a second thought, if you can find the product in several stores, chat each seller. Maybe out of 5, 1 might opt to help you..
Technology Market / Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by Alozera(m): 7:37am On Dec 19, 2020
jideprof:
Please how are you people paying for orders above $200.

You have to discuss it with the seller and ask him to split the price so you can pay with several cards, probably 2 cards. I think most sellers will not help you with that because I wanted to buy the redmi note 9 pro and it was above $200, so I had to chat the seller to help me split it but he bluntly rejected that which made me go for the redmi note 9s which goes for some cents above $199 in another store..

Is the redmi from goldway store?? I purchased the 4gb/64gb from the store that period. We dey together on this

I actually bought mine from You Geek store on the 7th and was shipped on the 8th then dispatched to overseas on the 12th.. no update till now.

Ordered two phones. Got 'em about 1 month later, Give or take.

Ordered three more last week. En route now.


Sorry to disturb, bro. I placed an order for a redmi note 9s 6/128gb on the 8th of Dec and it got dispatched to overseas on the 12th. That was my last update. That could be normal during times of uncertainties like this but I had the moral to place the other since the last 3 orders I placed via AESS not long ago (not phones) came in within a month time frame. I dunno¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if this will come in that fast because I see a lot of people complain about nipost's inability to update tracking lately..
Please give us the details of your recent order tracking progress.. when you ordered, tracking location so far and your state let's know how to calculate our fate..

Nah. Nobody would refund him if it is showing failed delivery


It's true that winning disputes for orders that is showing delivery failed is almost impossible, but the fact remains that he didn't get the package and if he can prove that beyond all reasonable doubt, he might get a refund

I have two orders that has been on "failed delivery" since August 19. Three weeks ago I was at the PO to show 'em the tracking info, but all I got was "we will contact you when we have the item". Up till now I have not been contacted.

Irresponsible and awkward lot in that PO.

3 weeks is too long.. every normal human will get worried, but still keep the hope alive so long as you're still on buyer's protection, you might get it before the BP expires
