xtremeidea: i dnt understand this again o!

Are u saying if i have a product that has a free shipping tag attached to it, i would still pay for your own shipping?

kindly elaborate !

[quote author=xtremeidea]The free shipping attached to a product only accounts for shipping from the vendor you are buying from to our US office we would still have to ship the item from our office to the airport and then to Nigeria. so yes you would still have to pay a shipping cost.

xzibukz: @ Catlanta,
I have an account with you but I can't find the order form where I can place order from Amazon or ebay.
can I order an item on ebay that the bid will end in about 3hours from now. The item name is "nikon 40" worth less than $250.

xtremeidea: "No service charge" what does it include no shipping charge?

xtremeidea: yeah i do!

Would you recommend this deal?

[url]tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1948244&CatId=6838[/url]

What are the dangers of buying refurb? Am looking for a good samsung galaxy 7.0 at the best price!

Sure I would recommend the item be put on our deal section. As for the dangers of refurb, i think the trick is to look out for manufacturer refurbished as opposed to seller refurbs. Refurbished could be a great way to buy tech stuff at great prices, some manufacturers like apple give same 1yr warranty on their refurbished items. So if you find any maufacturer refurb items don't hesistate to place an order for the item. We would also keep an eye out for any samsung galaxy 7.0 going at a deal.

l00ll0ll: is it immediately i make payment you'll buy it online? Because its possible for someonelse to buy the item after i have placed order on circuit atlantic. In that case how do one get refund?

Once we recieve payment, the order is verified (checked for availability and also if the order has been properly placed) and the order is purchased immediately once approved. If the item is unavailble or has already been purchased you can either choose to fund your "jeje pay" wallet or request a cash refund.

l00ll0ll: 24hrs? you mean 0000hrs?

Same difference you can either refer to midnight as 24:00hrs or 00:00hrs. But the promo lasts for 24hrs on the 1st oct but u are allowed to pay within 48hrs of the promo.

jazz04: Good. I should be able to deal on that independence day bonus

Yeah be sure to take advantage of that, and you could help spread the word, tell friends about the offer.

I remember my first purchase with Circuit Atlantic. It was a desperate measure to get an HP laptop with really nice specs from CircuitCity. At the time I had no idea how this was supposed to go, I did not have a credit card and other sites I had checked that advertised purchasing services felt shady. So there I was, pondering different options. Then by some stroke of luck I remembered seeing a website on my sisters laptop, she had it open all night, searching for nice rings from some foreign site. And the name came to me, Circuit Atlantic.

I’m a big believer in the web and it makes me open to try new things very open to risks. So I took my +100k, and with the fear of God in my heart, and a prayer to His angels to guide my path, lol, I made the purchase. Three weeks later, I had my HP laptop with beats audio icon smile Circuit Atlantic A sure way to buy from the US . A moment of joy.

I’ll briefly discuss Circuit Atlantic here as and give you insight to how it works, just in-case you are not that much of a believer.


Circuit Atlantic – The Website

IF you visit the Circuit Atlantic website, you’d notice it has a simple two tier layout. The first letting you input values of your purchase like the name of the product, price, quantity and item number among many others. The second tier lets you browse foreign sites as advised by their system, you could also browse sites not on their list and simply copy and paste those values needed.

Conversion rates are quite standard and are changed every once in a while with changing economic values. So you put in the dollar value of the product you want to buy, and you get the naira value instantly based on their conversion rates.

Other functions are pretty automated from then on. When you decide to make the purchase, the system calculates the service charge and shipping costs and gives you the total on the spot, including insurance fees. That’s my personal best feature, other sites have you send them mails and wait for them to reply you with an invoice, I love that I know what I’m paying for right there and then.

Payment methods are fairly standard, Interswitch web pay and bank transfers. Not like we have any other method of payment in Nigeria, unless them mobile platforms like paga.

You are given three choices of delivery, office pickup, which is the cheapest and what I’ve always used icon smile Circuit Atlantic A sure way to buy from the US , delivery within Lagos, and delivery outside Lagos. The office is at Ikeja, and that was close to me at the time so it really depends on you.

upon completion of the order you get mails to let you know when the item has been purchased and when it in transit. In my opinion, this helps to factor out having to call some customer care rep.


Circuit Atlantic – The service

So far, nice. The thing is, its designed around a system that reduces the need for contact, so really, unless something goes wrong, you’re always in the communication loop.

I got a blackberry once with them, a tour, for a friend. At the time I bought it from ebay. After I did not get a response from them for two weeks, I knew something was wrong, and the boy was on my neck, I was turning into a scam artist, lol. So I called them up, got some response I really could not understand at the time, and then received consequent emails that kept me in the clear a bit for some time. Long story short, by the next month it had not come, within that period I had bought CPU components to couple for another friend, and that arrived in two weeks exactly. No delay. So I went to the office to pick up my desktop parts, and to follow up on the blackberry, by this time my friend was already counting his loss. Anyway I’m finding out about my blackberry and I’m shown into the President’s office (the president of the company, not the country), Dr. Iroh Anaele, made the mistake of addressing him as Mr. once, did not turn out funny, lol. Well he apologized and explained how the product I ordered for had gone out of stock and was being re-ordered. In the end I went away a bit more confident that I had not killed my reputation with my friend.

That’s the only instance where I had an issue with the delivery time, I’ve got several other things from them since then, not always for myself though. So in my opinion, if you’re in a decision making phase, its OK to go with them. No worries.


Circuit Atlantic – The Improvements

There are a whole lot of them, and I can’t write them all here. But get this, they included cargo shipping as a delivery option! Now you might not get my excitement, but I’m a lover of all things good and artistic. I could do a “whole lot” to get things from sites like IKEA. My dream home interior seems to be tied to that site. Now that there is a cargo option available, I’ve decided to start saving for that dream, my home is so going to be filled with killer aesthetics. Wonder if any site similar to that can come up in Nigeria without making us pay with our lives for stuff. Just wondering.
Circuit Atlantic – The Cons

Worst of all for me, there is no way to return stuff. Not that I expected that though. So you would have to be sure of the product you’re getting before you make a purchase. Personally, I got a desktop, one of them DIY (Do It Yourself) types that you couple. Crazy specs inside, and then the power pack did not work, and when it finally did, it fried the motherboard. Worst part yet, I bought it for a friend. I seem to have bad luck with buying stuff for people. So right now, I have a 1TB, 8GB RAM , Quad core A6 processor, 1GB ATi graphic card desktop sitting with me a Lagos, with a 23 inch screen monitor to add to that. All useless, till I can change the power pack and motherboard. Sad.

What now pained me, sorry but i have to say this one, I mailed the power pack company, quite a popular one too, lips sealed, and this customer care guy is telling me their product wasn’t designed to work in Nigeria! Seriously! Bloody racist customer care rep.

Well, in my opinion, returning might cost more than buying new parts. I’m stuck here till I find the courage to buy the parts back, my fear… that other components got bad too. That would just be the end.



So there you have it, my personal opinion on Circuit Atlantic, and really, my way of saying “Here is something you might not have thought of before”. I plan on buying a ~55″ flat screen from Tigerdirect for my room, can’t stop thinking of Modern Warefare 2 on that icon biggrin Circuit Atlantic A sure way to buy from the US .

Happy weekend guys! Don't forget to shop for those items you have been looking from the US! Circuit Atlantic Brings the action close to you!

The cost of the phone is also another reason why your additional charges could seem much. As Our Service charge and also the PS&DG( Product safty and delivery gurantee) are Percentages of the total cost of the item being purchased.

SimonAndal: Are you guys ripping people off? #JustAskin' 'cause after placing an order and everything, I noticed N20,000 was added to the cost of the product.

No we do not rip people off! Your freight cost is dependent on the nature and weight of the item you are purchasing and so regardless the cost of an item, we would have to charge freight appropriate for that item(as we would pay the airlines shipping our goods). This is what usually makes the extra cost for items seem high. What kind of item did you order for?

Well they could open one! Nigerians love to spend money I think would make their money.

SimonAndal: D'ya deliver to all parts of Nigeria?

Yes we do! You can easily select your prefered shipping method when you are placing your order.

Why can't we have iPhones under contract from our service providers that would cost less, like they do in the US! That would be the official end of Black berry in Nigeria.
