Yes I have uploaded the tracking number, the seller is already threatening me that she will not receive the item when it get to china and china authorities will destroy it, and she will not confirm that they receive the product if they even eventually get it,

Honestly this is a nightmare for me, after this I will take a long break from shopping on AliExpress because most sellers are just very devious and liars, if that the item was less than $100 dollar, I would have just given up, but it’s $360 that’s why I am fighting still
And this is my very first dispute in 6 yrs of shopping on AliExpress.

Please do you know how I will come out from this mess, and still get my money.

You need to record your dealings with the seller and show it to AliExpress. The seller is clearly a bad egg and the threats and intimidations should work in your favour.

This is not a politics section, please you guys should refer to politics section of Nairaland, na so thread derailing dy take start, abeg!

There was nothing really political in my post, I'm apolitical and merely stated my contempt for Nigerian intellect Politics will surely affect AliExpress shopping though as any government serious about shoring up the naira would ban AliExpress shopping or introduce punitive taxes on it as it is an fx drain.

Ominie:


I wanted to respond to the illogicality of his disposition, but I felt it was a complete waste of time, since he had already placed "the cart before the horse", and it's best to keep our "political leanings" to ourselves, so as not to derail the purpose of the thread.

There is no apparent illogically in my disposition. The naira has been severely weakened by mismanagement, corruption,lack of exports and general economic sabotage.
The real value of the naira is not 750 to one dollar but it is at that rate because of incompetence. I have no political leanings in Nigeria because all of them are devoid of ideology . Partisan politics is all about ideology which is missing here.They are crooks masquerading as philanthropists, besides almost all Nigerians are deficient in emotional quotient, excitable, crooked, lacking self control and unprincipled so I'm sure they will work against Tinubu anyway and get the naira to 1000 to one dollar.

icon91:



You think say e dy sweet anybody to even pay at official rate let alone above black market rate?

We move anyways

Better days a head, i pray!

Tinubu is looking at 300 naira to one dollar in the short term and 200 to one strategically.in like three to four years. I'm sure the obedients will scuttle the efforts and hamper him at every turn. It's the way Nigerians think.

He should be expecting threats and wailings from obidients very very soon.

Good morning y'all.

Story time.

So last week Wednesday (12.04.2023), I received a call from a guy and he told me that he in the airport with my item and he is bringing it to my address.

I told him to go ahead, he proceeds to tell me that they are some charges i will pay o, i asked how much and this guy told me 10,850, I immediately knew something was wrong, so i asked him to come with receipt.

Two hours later around 12noon, baba came with my item to my office and with a sort of receipt (the image is below). He asked for my copy of my ID, i played him and told him that i didn't have my ID with me and asked him to come the next day - there was no way i was going to pay over 10k to pick up from aliexpress. As soon as he left me, i immediately email Nipost and they responded that my item arrived Marina PO since 6.4.2023. So apparently this guy goes to the post office, pick up item and calls the owners and lies to them and extort them.

He called the next day and i told him, i didn't have the amount he asked for. I told him i can only give him 2k, he agreed and when he came the next day i eventually gave him 1,500. Be careful guys, na rippers full everywhere oo.

The guy was just was just lying ehen. When i told him to return it to the PO, he told me it was not possible that there is no PO for it, that he was bringing it from the airport that if i don't pay and collect it from him, they would sent it back. The guy man be wan guy another guy man.

I have attached the item which i want to sell self.

You are lucky they didn't extract the item from the parcel and replace it with a stone.Nigerians are extremely dishonest.

I've read so many times about the so called criminal inclinations of Tinubu and how he cannot travel abroad due to pending cases .I also read about Obi being an absolute saint but I find it odd that Tinubu is able to travel everywhere,in fact he has been figuratively given the keys of British cities while Obi was pulled over and stopped at the airport.
It is all the more baffling because the British only stop high profile people when they are absolutely sure of culpability. I remember working as a security guard in a departmental store in London in my student days and I was categorically told never to stop any high profile people I see shoplifting but to report to the general manager. I was free to stop and call the police on everybody else.
It does mean that Peter Obi is a person of interest.

Temolad:
I just try out gotok now.. The same issue.

Icon91.. Any idea about this issue?

That's odd.I got my gotok MasterCard three days ago.The time between registration and using it on AliExpress was less than thirty minutes

Singapore post is also classified by AliExpress as AliExpress standard shipping.

Emily22:

okay, thanks

Emily22:

When are you going to have a7 pro battery in stock again.

For how long will the o.p flog a dead horse. If still having problems then confront your English teacher

So many deaths and nothing to show for it. That land is cursed. I wish it is not part of Nigeria.

olas24u:


These are igbos in igboland ,the practice jungle justice and brought it to lagos after the civil war.i hope they arrest them.

Unfortunately you are right.Jungle justice is one evil thing brought to yoruba land by the ibos.They fail to understand that people doing such things are cursed. I can only hope that yorubaland does not share in the curse.

GeneralPula:

No matter the English you’re writing on here, just ensure you don’t go engage in such..

Nigerians are animals and I do hope it will not be well with them and their country.It should not be well with people who behave like animals so I hope there is more pain for Nigerians until they start living like humans

Olamak1:


They must have a very good customer support for them to have done this for you.

I've always waited for the sales before making major purchases so I was worried I was going to miss the sales but surprisingly they found a way to fix the problem
I intend to continue to have an account with them but will wait two weeks to fund and make use of it as they have a problem in their operational chain at the moment. Most companies depend on other companies for smooth running of their operations and if one mess up then the operation is stalled

mctfopt:


Ok, didn't know they are on it. Thought they ignored your complaints.

This Vesti dollar card people are really impressive. I told them that my transaction is time sensitive as I need to take advantage of the AliExpress anniversary sales which ends on the 26th. They then setup a gift voucher dollar card for me which contained my balance and I was able to place my order with more than thirty six hours to spare. They are okay and intend to maintain my account with them.

peteregwu:


But you are talking as if it was another government that cussed this present problem; Is it not the same buhari, apc and cbn that caused all these wahala. There is nothing like with the change of government; the same government are the ones in power and the will continue to be in power. Na prayer mood me I dey...because nothing would change.

All governments and leaders depend on experts in their fields as nobody knows everything. Emefiele the finance and banking expert gave buhari wrong advice. The CBN governor's post is not really a political post and it is semi autonomous but unfortunately it is presently being occupied by a psychopathic fool who is hell bent on destroying Nigeria at the moment

Competence

Get okada on higher purchase

slipperyanus07:
God punish tinubu

It's time to take your medicine.Learn not to skip doses

Sapiosexuality:
Avoid them and use what option exactly?

The latter part of my post made that clear.A prepaid dollar card from a bank is safer and refunds are not problematic and FWIW you have the full weight of our CBN behind you. Lol

Gentledizzle:
Please is there any of this virtual card that use a Nigeria billing address instead of the UsA like Chipper Cash.

A USA address doesn't not appear to matter for online transactions.The main problem is that many of the cards are run by crooks.Im having problems with Vesti dollar card at the moment money is on card but not working for transactions. A prepaid dollar card is better and safer.Try and avoid the fintechs.They can't be trusted.

mctfopt:



Report 'em. Show no mercy

I'm hesitant for the moment because the company is an immigration specialist and they've been building the brand for a few years. I want to give them a bit of leeway to make things right.If nothing is done by Saturday then I will know they are acting in bad faith and will put into motion efforts to warn Nigerians about them so people don't fall into their trap.
I'm trying not to be too hasty especially as they gave me a call yesterday to tell me they are working on solving the problem

IyaebeTheGreat:
Emefiele must be arrested sooner or later, he selfishly brought this untold hardship to the masses, very heartless human.

He is an animal

Everybody should avoid Vesti dollar card. Once your money is in their dollar card ,you can't use it for any purchase big or small and they keep telling you they are working on it. but you cannot liquidate your money so it's effectively trapped. Im mulling reporting them to FCCPC as well as other relevant agencies.

jboixxx:
Greetings, Babalegba. Any idea of the current N to $ BM rate as of today?

It's still 750 at Abeokuta and has been like that for two weeks or so. However the rate for one dollar notes is much lower like about one hundred Naira lower. I suspect that is why stanbic is able to offer their 15 dollar fx service.
The banks will be upset if you go in to deposit 100 one dollar bills though

Alozera:

W(°ｏ°)W .. is that so? That means I can't even help a friend pay for an item with my card on a different account

You could pay for a friend but AliExpress does not like it when coupons are involved.They think you are being smart.
