I never knew this Nwoko does not mean well for Nigeria. What a selfish man.

Michealeni:
I tried buying some product which is not more than $10 with my access bank visa card, but it was declined...is it that access can not be use on AliExpress?

International dollar payment on access cards has been discontinued because thieving Nigerians have depleted Nigerias fx earnings by stealing oil and other exportable commodities.Most Nigerians are church and mosque going thieves and unfortunately their selfish antics does impact AliExpress shoppers

icon91:
So it means most of the products they sell are replica or is this applicable to just some brands?

Do you know if there's a way you'll know genuine products, if you can give me some insights, i'll be glad

Thanks fam

All the items I've bought from AliExpress ( dacs and Phillips headphones) were originals.Price is the main giveaway. You can get a half price bargain and reduce the price with vouchers but you are highly unlikely to get a product for one tenth of the price.If an item is advertised as original but turns out to be fake,you can open a dispute.You could have got the Anker soundcore motion boom for less than half price using the just discontinued GTB forty dollar reduction.The main thing is to be prepared , wait for the sales seasons and read the comments very well but do bear in mind that some sellers utilize fake comments

From jumia & others
See their price tag

It's fake and most people who bought it knew they were buying a replica hence the good ratings. I almost fell for it a few months ago until I read one comment from one person who said he compared it to the original.

Sapiosexuality:
For those who have received items with Nipost, what are the downsides to it? Did it arrive early? Are the goods intact? Any issues? Thank you.

My spirit is not comfortable with them.

It all depends on your location and the quality of nipost staff there. I'm in abeokuta and I prefer nipost over speedaf especially for unregistered parcels. Goods are sometimes about two weeks late, by that I mean received about five weeks after postage but goods are also sometimes about a week early, I mean received two weeks after postage.

Enigma123:
Do speedaf work on Saturday?

Yes

Overlord999:
I ordered this earlier today, and i accidentally tapped on "confirm receipt" ��‍♂️. Now i can't track it anymore. Should I request for refund? Or will the product still arrive despite me confirming that I've received it?

You cannot track something that has not been shipped

jadajada:
so every AliExpress standard shipping is handled by speedaf

No, Singapore post which is handled by nipost is also AliExpress standard shipping. You get about ninety percent chance of getting speedaf though when you choose AliExpress standard shipping.

Qsand:
25th of this month will mark 30 days of my package being in speedaf warehouse. I've tried severally calling the number attached to the mail to do door delivery for me since their warehouse is super far from my location. The number never picks or is always switched off. What do I do please

Use WhatsApp to contact them

What's the exchange rate

Moh247:



Qatar pays workers higher wages than UK and Europe and that's why Asian Labourers troop into Qatar

An Average construction worker in UK earns £24,000 per anum, pays 28% to 30% in tax living him with £16800 per anum, Average living cost in UK is £800 per month or £9600 per anum leaving you with paltry £7200 per anum as savings


.

Your stats get as e be. Construction workers in the UK get far more than that unless they are exploited illegal immigrants

QED!
Thank you for clearing the confusion on this domi-dollar-card issue! The other day, I was told that it's not possible to get dollar card without domiciliary account. To add to the confusion, I decided to call a friend working in gtb, telling him I would like to get a prepaid dollar card, but his response was that I must open domiciliary account to get it. Surprisingly this morning, I went to gtbank to make a deposit of some cash. Thereafter, I approached one of the customer agents telling her I would like to get "prepaid dollar card". The lady's response really shocked me simply because I was expecting her to mention domiciliary account and then hand over application form for me to fill. Rather than doing all that, she just said, "the requirements are: one passport photograph and 10 US dollar. "Is that all?" was my next question to her,and she answered in the affirmative. She even told me that the card would be issued out instantly whenever am ready for it.

But you already have an account with them. Would they tell you that if you just walk in from the street without any prior dealings with them. They would be arrested for money laundering if they try that.

Jess99:
Yes
But do i click confirm receipt or wait till time lapses

Try and open a dispute without confirming receipt first.Dont forget to leave the appropriate feedback as well. It will also be prudent to let nairalanders know about the store so they can avoid it.

Jess99:
This stupid seller sent me an empty package. Do i confirm received and open dispute or let buyer protection time lapse and open dispute

I do hope you made a video of the opening of the package. It is likely to be requested by AliExpress and the seller.

senator282:
This is misinformation
You don't need domiciliary account to get a prepaid dollar card from GT Bank.
Note: I have one

I just tried and they said I would need a domiciliary account to get one and there were quite a few requirements for the domiciliary account.

GloriousGbola:
I wonder what the actual laws on criminal negligence and child endangerment are in this country.

Because this is clearly the police being used by a wealthy person to bully a poor person.

I hope femi falana gets in on this. Because this is nonsense.

Davido and chioma have equal liability in this matter.

A Google search shows that we actually have professional nanny services in Nigeria. You are serious about a child minder, you get an older woman who will immediately talk to you professionally and tell you what you are doing wrong as a parent.

A death never occurs in isolation. There were multiple instances that everyone papered over before we got here.

Thank you for your intelligent reality check post. Most Nigerians are unthinking idiots

Timekeeper452:
are you saying the economy didn’t crumble when Buhari ruled in 1983? Or are you choosing to be ignorant?

The economy was already crumbling before buhari took over. The shagari led government expelled Ghanaian immigrants in a bid to stem the tide but it didn't work.. Coincidentally the economy was already crumbling before buhari took over from Jonathan as well .Democracy is not good for Nigeria at all but we are not intelligent enough to formulate an effective system of government for ourselves even though we have political scientists wielding first class certificates . Problems like banditry, kidnapping,tribal agitation and widespread corruption would have been tackled by a military regime. Nigerians are innately lawless and need an iron hand. I'm having to suspend all non essential orders from AliExpress as they've messed up the exchange rate

atinga1:
Buhari and Emefiele are not all to be blamed?
I guess average NIgerians are the ones stealing oil, right? Lol

This type of comment is the reason why Nigeria is where it is, and its not going to change anytime soon.
No matter how bad this country is, somebody, somewhere will defend the government with full chest.

And he's not even paid to do so! lmao

I would not piss on buhari if he was on fire.so I cannot defend him. Nigerias problem is one of misdiagnosis. Nigerian leaders are bad but the followers are also rotten. I lived in the UK for twenty five years and upon coming back I realized that Nigerians are unpatriotic,self centered, callous,lacking self control, perfidious and generally more pretentious and boastful than the British. Nigeria s economy would defy all accepted economic models and be perennially unstable because you have high unemployment but also multitudes of ghostworkers, arbitrary price rises, punitive levies, Yahoo Yahoo guys bleeding the economy, insecurity driving away foreign investment and a people corrupt to the bone,no wonder Emefiele is playing catch-up. I don't know how to put this gently for you but Nigerians are bad people and bad people generally experience bad things.

Dumartz:
I don't blame chipper & other virtual cards, If not for dat useless Fulani boy called buhari, a man who is suppose to be selling kulikuli in daura & d he goat called Emefiele with dir useless policies chipper cash 4 no use us dy catch cruise

Sadly it's not all to do with buhari and Emefiele. Nigerians are really bad selfish ignorant people. The rate will reach 1000 to one before January 31st as the squirrelling thieves with piles of naira under their beds exchange it for dollars. They got the money through economically damaging schemes to Nigerias economy and Emefiele s effort to get the money into circulation would exacerbate the forex crisis at least in the short term. Oil that could be used to stabilize the forex is being stolen in huge quantities every day. The well being of a country is directly related to the intellectual capacity of it's populace and quite frankly Nigerians are not bright.

Olamak1:
Someone said he made use of it about 2 days ago. You can give it a try if you have their card.

I've just tried it for two dollars.No show

Kwamecron:
How much be this one now?

1k in abeokuta

Olamak1:
Which site did you track the order? Really, the letter 'S' after 'E' has rendered the tracking number invalid.

I got a cheap watch delivered by speedaf last week. It had the es number and was self pick up. I paid 400 naira for home delivery

Nigerians and their wuruwuru statistics, so somebody with 138k per annum is now above poverty line even when pure water is 20 naira per satchet. Fact of of the matter is ninety percent of Nigerians are in poverty hence the high level of corruption in the country

VeeVeeMyLuv:
no he is implying that it is GTBank that will supply the dollars that will used on the dollar card to transact online shopping.

Lol, GTB don suffer o

VeeVeeMyLuv:
At what rate?

What of Hidden charges?

Maintenance fee nko?

Who gives the dollar?

He would have to source out the dollar himself from aboki lol

jboixxx:
[color=#0000ff]Not always though. [/color]

When I like something I buy two or three and sometimes seven of it, meaning I have four pairs of the same shoes and many Phillips Fidelio headphones. On Ali Express free shipping when I add more than two instances of the same item shipping charges would mysteriously appear. On items with paid shipping, the cost rises as more items are added but sometimes the shipping cost plateaus.

osane09:
I want to buy two pairs of shoes from a store but am been charged twice for shipping fee? I have contacted the seller he said i will be charged once but the checklist still shows double shipping fee. How do i remove that from the checklist

You are buying two items,hence the double shipping fee.

sonssyo:
Can it be opened online?

You can open the normal account online but like I said you will get zero dollars transaction with it. The domiciliary account requires two referees so it would be difficult to open online

anungangampu:
Who knows if Sterling Bank's limit is still above $20 and if they do give MasterCard?

Presently Sterling bank is 0 dollar but you can open a domiciliary account with them.

yomi961:
Christians this is the right time to show Tinubu that you people are not second class citizen in this country, this is high time to show Tinubu that you people are not inconsequential as he clearly shows you people that you people are nothing in Nigeria. You can vote Atiku , you can vote Obi, or any presidential aspirant that carry Christians along, but never give this idiotic useless satanic jihadist your vote, he doesn't deserve it a bit.


Assuming a christian won the major political party ticket and goes on to picked a christian as his running mate, by now jihad would've been declared by Muslim fanatics up north on Christians there, the foolish and usêlèss Muric would've wrote his long epistle crying endlessly. Christians if una like make una mumu, una think say Dem like una? Do the mistake of voting in this thing, and live to regret forever, remember how Buhari regime is with Christians.

Get a life and justify the money spent on your education.What has organized religion got to do with good governance.
