I ordered a particular products 3 days ago, I checked this morning, status says "seller is processing your order"
Is there something to be worried about??
Or
Can I cancel the order??

It's normal, the tracking info takes a while before it updates past "processing your order", many factors can cause it, the shipping company ain't picked it up yet, or the particular order just ran out of stock and they quickly need to restock, etc most update to this status to beat that "shipping timer" that AE has to avoid the order been cancelled and you refunded. If it stays like that for between 5-7 days, message the seller to know whats guan.

Octopusssy:
Boiling Point-

The movie takes place in an actual restaurant. I've never really sat down to imagine what goes on in a restaurant. My only concern is let the food be prepared in the most hygienic and sanitary conditions, and let it taste good, dammit!

We see restaurant staff struggling to meet up with the orders and when things reach a head, the different characters react in different ways. Everyone seems to have one little side drama they are dealing with, but they still forge ahead. The work must go on. Keep your shît together under intense pressure.

The movie is able to project the frenzy that goes on behind the scenes in the kitchen of a busy restaurant and I experienced bouts of anxiety just watching them struggle with the orders and their personal issues. It's a film that is so real, relatable and absolutely gripping.

The movie was aptly named, everything just started off slowly with a Chef trying to have a successful evening cooking, then building up with different side plot and eventually cascading to a "Boiling Point" in the end, whilst the movie was shot in basically one take and scene.

It was just too good. The British hardly misses with thier movies or shows.

Since you loved this may i recommend "Burnt (2015) and "The Bear" (2022) (A tv show.) They are right up in the same ally with this.

please like how many days does it it take for custom clearance mine has been stuck for 3 days now.

it isn't certain. I have a Registered Speedaf package stuck on custom clearance since last Friday. I am suspecting there is still backlog after the strike.

Of course, all packages coming into the country goes through custom clearance.

Thank you for this, downloaded the app and paid for the lifetime service immediately.

Regarding your package you received, did they call you? Or you kept going to nipost office to check the status and know if it's there yet?

They called me. As far as your details are correct on the package, they will most definitely reach out to you, they made me to know that since Speedaf started AE delivery, they handle way less packages than before and so it's no big hassle to reach out to people when packages arrive.When was your last update if i my ask? Today makes it exactly 2 weeks since my last update which was "Arrive at facility".

So guys an item i purchased in April, which the logistics is being handled by NIPOST, i want to understand the status of this tracking, as eh no update about custom clearance just straight up to my local Government, what do you think about the status of this tracking.

That's how NIPOST package usually are. If you track on other site, you will probably see "Arrive at facility" and that will be the last update till you pick up the package. By the way, i just picked up a package shipped from NIPOST this morning shipped on April 20th.

I just googled...and yeah you're right...it's an Elder he killed who was replaced

But I'm also right in the sense that he had an easy way out after killing an Elder...
In fact it's even more ridiculous now that he had such an easy way out after killing an Elder

So explain to me how it makes sense that Wick killed and Elder, simply joined a family, challenged the Marquis and is free?
It means any Tom or Harry in a family can kill an Elder and walk away easily

What a ridiculous plot convenience...
A plot convenience no one knew existed in Chapter 3...but suddenly everyone knows it in Chapter 4

if I'm in the world of John Wick, what stops me from joining a family and killing an Elder, Marquis or anyone, and walking away freely after challenging a Marquis to a duel

You are not right in any sense G. The bone of contention was that you said the guy John Wick killed in the beginning was a Marquis, which Shaqfu clearly nabbed you in that lie. So there was no need for the shalaye to prove an obvious lie.

Try dey rest sometimes so you don't make yourself an easy target for ridicule.

John Wick 4 ..... 6.8/10

Review will be as spoiler-free as possible since most haven't watched it

It's kind of expected but this movie is 95% fights and 5% story....
This may seem normal for a John Wick movie, but the 3 hours length makes it far more noticeable

You could as well watch a YouTube compilation of fight scenes in John Wick 4 and you wouldn't have missed much

The action scenes were good but went on for too long that they got tiring. Having several action scenes of like 30minutes length does get tiring in a 3 hours movie

They really could have reduced this movie to 2 hours

My favorite action scene was the one on the road with cars driving by. That was awesome and chaotic...
And as usual, with fight scenes having less cuts, they were awesome

I personally didn't like the story direction in this movie and the ending too...
I'm yet to see the point of the Mr. Nobody and his dog...felt like a character the movie could have done without

Also, as usual, police don't exist in the John Wick world.
The bodies piled up would have been impossible to clean

The story has become watered down since part 2, and this part 4 was the absolute worst albeit the ridiculous 2:49hrs run time didn't help, i was so so bored because the fight scenes kept going on and on, at the end i was wondering what was the point of all that. It has gone full circle and the ending suggests that but if they stretch it any further, they must be mad.

Seems aliexpress has stopped combining orders. 8 of my items were shipped at the same time as economy but instead for them to combine them, they were shipped individually to Nigeria though I've received them all but I'm curious as to why they stopped or my case was different.

Another observation is that 3 of my items has stuck at airport in China since last 6 days. Am I the one having this issue?

Ordered an Earbuds pouch and a SD card a day apart last week, and both were combined.

My order was stuck too since last week, but it just moved today.

So i got a call from nipost to come take my item yesterday,after almost two months of waiting,
omo it's was like a dream, I thought I'll never receive this parcel again, I was even getting ready to open dispute, but thank God it arrived safely
the seller declared the price as 30dollar, I guess he did that to evade custom tax or something

The woman that called me said something about parcels being sold, I really don't understand what she meant by that, is like some nopost staff are selling people's parcel.
I just pray none of my future items should pass through nipost again

Shey your body go calm down now. Happy for you tho.

The cables were off when he climbed the ladder, someone deliberately put it on. He has had same encounter about 4 times this year alone, infact he gave thanksgiving in Church just 3 weeks ago, praising God for sparing his life from this exact situation.

LarryVino:
What does registered and unregistered mail mean please? Like email or what?

not email. More like package. A registered package is the one you pay the fairly high shipping for and it's trackable, and depending on the route, is guaranteed a home delivery e, i.e on Speedaf, the tracking number will start with N and end with R. While unregistered mail is also called economy, the tracking is negligible and it is self pick up. Most times it's mostly free or a small fee it's attached to it. The tracking number on Speedaf will start with N and end with E.

I called their Customer service and asked them to deliver my unregistered package, they told me they would do it for 400 naira and that I should make myself available. I hung around for four days then realized that they were not coming and went to their office which is where it should not really be.

This is probably one scenario out of 100, and if you pushed further, probably you might have got a logical reason. You were able to even reach thier CC line at least, In the reverse, try the same stunt with NIPOST if their number will even go through or if Prince Adekunle will be willing to answer your mail.

My experience with them has been contrary.Speedaf is good for registered mail but nipost is better for unregistered. All depends on your location and quality of staff there.

i was particularly talking about the CC services tho.. All my mail enquiry to Speedaf has never been left unanswered or not promptly. But to your point, i have had relative ease of mind both with unregistered and registered mail that Speedaf has handled for me. Even when AE warn that "unregistered mail" won't get updates once it reaches your local carrier, Speedaf makes it a point of duty to notify you till the last drop point, and even includes the name and phone number of the delivery guy if it's a registered mail....Can you say same for NIPOST? Take a poll here and see which services people prefer here between NIPOST and Speedaf...I think i know the answer.

Pls where's speedaf Lagos distribution center?? They have the worst customer service representatives in Nigeria. They never responds and when they do their response is always incoherent. .Do they deliver to your doorstep?

Major Cap at Bolded. Speedaf has one of the most efficient CC services i know, you can get them just about anywhere, Email, WhatsApp or even Twitter. Thier response most of the times are coherent.

I had to chat with the seller why my package failed custom clearance, he suggested I call speedaf for an update. After calling speedaf, I was assured that my package will be delivered to me this weekend. So no worries

Na una dey bother una self, if you scroll like one page back , you would have known it's a general fault due to the strike, and has they just called it off, there will be delay due to backlog.

bro i have gone to the post office myself today, they told me it hasn't reached them, this parcel is more than 1month, what do you expect me to do, everyone is receiving Thier parcel from p.o but mine is yet to reach my local post office，even if you call they hardly pick your call, and when they do, they drop the call immediately you talk about your parcel
this parcel is worth 165 dollar it's a mobile phone, i just need someone to just help me confirm where my parcel is, I mailed them concerning my parcel but they are yet to give me a reply
what do you expect me to do in this case this is my first parcel with nipost

Bro...I know how you feel, but you have to actually chill!. Everyone is recieving thier parcel you say? Let me ask, is everyone in the same location as you? Have you thought of factoring this in? One month you say? and it's Nipost? You neva wait, you just dey start, i have waited for a Parcel for 3 months!, I have collected refund one time even and the package later arrived after 4 months! One month and you are crying? That is light work na. All this kati kati might work with Speedaf, because they are a private firm with rep to protect, but you see Nipost, they are assured salary whether they function or not, and they have very little rep to protect, i might even give you the post master general of Nigeria's direct phone number and i bet you 90% , he might not give a hoot about your parcel.

So first things first, Chill, secondly, From experience, Phones ordered from AE are usually routed through NIPOST, and so that's the risk one must bear for that juicy lower price the phone is sell ing for rather than outrightly buying it here. Distance is also a factor, You stay in Uyo, which is South, Shipments comes to Lagos in the west for custom clearance, before been moved to the NIPOST regional centre, so those those in Lagos have this advantage of getting thier package slightly earlier because of this, so after sorting in Lagos, the parcels are dispatched to other states, and NIPOST logistics in the last few years can be akin to a snail with arthritis, extremely slow!, and they might not even move parcels to a particular state in two weeks, if the parcels doesn't met a certain weight quota. So the irony is that, the package might have landed in Lagos, but it will take at least 3 weeks to get to you. Don't just check your local post office or the one closest to you, If there is a central post office in Uyo, also check, because there's where goods are dispatched to other parts of the city when they arrive from Lagos and so sometimes it might be stuck there.

I do hope you get your package, but for safety, monitor the buyers protection counter, and if you haven't received the package before it runs out, apply for a refund and state your case, also keep up with the seller. I have successfully negotiated a full refund for a failed delivery even when the goods supposedly landed in Nigeria! , so be vigilant and don't fret. Ordering Phone from AE is 50:50, sweet adventure but maximum risk!

Shallom.

The only time I go to the branch is to collect a new card, otherwise I do everything online or via the phone.

This is so true, i had an issue with failed POS transaction without immediate reversal with Stanbic IBTC, and i went to thier branch and the CC rep told me the transaction was successful and i should go and met the POS merchant. I called thier CC line, and they told me why did i bother to go to thier branch, that i should simply send the failed transaction receipt via Email and just like that within 2 days, i was refunded.
