When I want to update from windows 8 to 8.1 on my nokia lumia 822, it keeps telling me wifi is not available to enable it download even when I have 1gig data on my phone. How do I connect to a wifi network please. Reply urgently sir.
Windows phone 8.0 to 8.1 is about 900mb size. MSFT will prefer you use WiFi to download that much data, hence the continual request that you connect to WiFi. There are other critical but minor updates that are around 60-200mb. You are allowed to download those ones using your cellular data.

What you can do now is to get your sim into another windows or android phone, switch on the WiFi sharing on that phone and connect your Lumia to it.

Alternatively, if you use Glo and you don't wanna remove your micro sim from your L822, you can share your 1 gig thru datashare to another Glo SIM on any Windows phone or android device, then get your L822 connected to their broadcasted WiFi.

To ur first question china post is synonimous to snail just like our nipost. Remember time is money. Their service is slow to put it simple.
2. Goods can get missing. No insurance.
Agent can get ur goods down here within 2day.
Courier service like dhl, ups are more expensive but reliable.
F.o.b means free on board not including freight charges. If they add c.i.f to ur fob then cost, insurance and freight. shipping is included.
If u are shipping to ur agent just negotiate with ur seller if they can send it free to ur agent. Sime will accept some will not. Usually the price is always minimal.
Thank you. Brief and explanatory.

This is what you do in case of Microsoft office documents. Open the office app in your phone. Then locate the document and long-press on it. You get the options in screenshot. Select "share" and you have the options to share including thru e-mail.

To share from the phone file system, get Microsoft "files" app installed on your device. You can then manage your files therein, including sharing them.

Here are some file managers that are good.

That is Windows 10 for desktop PCs and tablet form factor devices.

Windows phone 10 official release is not due till September or thereabout. However if you wanna experience it before then, you can subscribe to technical preview. I read that the current build released, though unfinalized is very stable and user friendly.

Really some submissions on this forum has been misleading people. Windows 10 (update to windows 7/8.1) for PC and tablet form factors is what is released this month. Windows phone 10 OS official release isn't due till October.

As per the opera mini, it still saves files like pictures, pdfs, docx for me. Though I don't use it to download movies and music as I make use of UC browser for that. But in my own experience with Opera mini in downloading files, once your device is in battery saver mode, it will only enqueue the file but fail to download it, even if the application (opera mini) is currently open. If you now head to downloads in the app and check our the list, I get something like "please connect to network".

If you diagnose this as the problem that prevents your download, you can enable Opera mini to also "work in battery saver mode" by heading to battery saver in settings and locating opera mini among the running apps.

Good Evening Ceaser.

Mr.Psalmade Suggestion Is The Best Way To Go About It.

After Negotiating With The Seller And Both Of You Has Agree On The FOB Price, Next Is For You To Tell The Seller That You Have Agent In China Which You Will Like He/She To Ship The Items/Goods To And If Then Accept. Next Is For You To Send The Seller Details To Your Agent and Your Will Take Up From Were You Stop. If Everything Went Successful You Will Be Contacted With The Quotation Cost Once You Have Made The Payment To Your Agent. Then Your Agent Will Make The Purchase Of The Items And Ship It To Nigeria.... Simple As ABCD.....

Bravo
Thank you Ale. But these are pretty weighty stuffs we are talking about here. All three items together costs $132 and all three weighing almost 40kg. I'm sure the third party agent shipping price of that is gonna be scary. So what d'you advice?

Also could you interprete this to me:
"1pc/box, 8pcs/carton, GW: 29.5Kg"


Also this:
"10pcs/CTN/0.09CBM, GW: 35kg"

My understanding of it: Is that GW (Gross weight) of 29.5kg that of the 1pcs per box or of the 8pcs per carton?

And please what is this CBM sef? "Continental Ballistic Missile or wetin cheesy ?

Those are the quotations given to me by a seller and I don't wanna ask her to avoid being seen as a newbie to be cheated.

Currently have issues with my BBM. But could you use this forum to answer my inquiries for now?

Thanks for the earloer response.
My next question is why would a Nigerian importer on Alibaba prefer forwarding agents? I assume that like on Aliexpress, there are also options for shipping goods thru China Post, Singapore post, Netherland post etc that will get the item straight to the post office nearest to your delivery address.

How is this option comparable to forwarding agents cost-wise, logistics-wise and time of delivery?

Also is the FOB price of an item on Alibaba inclusive of the price to get it to Nigeria, as it is done on Aliexpress?

If I will be using a forwarding agent, which of the two prices - EXW or FOB - should I insist the seller quote?

please an urgent reply will be appreciated.

Hi. I got an alibaba FOB quote for an item as usd174. I then asked the seller to get the shipping costs. He now quoted an additional usd200 via DHL.

My question: Is the shipping price on alibaba not always included in the FOB?

For the records, I'm mostly used to Aliexpress. I'm just but a noob and newbie to Alibaba.

I was able to get in touch with a portable solar home system seller on Alibaba thru facebook and subsequently whatsapp. She said she won't be able to get me the quotations until Monday.
But I noticed that she wants to know if more info about me. She complimented my looks (apparently saw my whatsapp dp). She has asked if I was a businessman to which I answered in the negative and now she is asking if I am from Nigeria. She even wants to know what exactly i do for a living. I feel she wants to know more. Should I oblige her the answers or do I have tk thread softly and avoid too much familiarity which I feel she is heading towards? Heck! What is it with these guys using females as sale agents.
Please advise

BusinessRe: How Do I Track Items I Bought From Aliexpress Using China Post Air Mail. by ceaser: 10:45am On Jul 24, 2015
Ernestprinze:
Please guys.. I ordered two items from Ali express about two weeks ago but I don't know of its were about.... Pls can someone help me track this numbers
68116877530855
68116877520855
These numbers may not be real tracking numbers. This is cos most numbers for international tracking usually end with two alphabets which aid as codes to narrow down the search processes to specific shipping lines. I believe you must have been notified by the sellers beforehand. In some stores, when the item cost less than $10 or $13 dollars for some, there will be no tracking numbers and what you are given will be dummies. That does not imply you won't get the said items. I have gotten up three of such "untracked" items that even got delivered by as fast as 13 to 16 days after shipping - much faster than some with tracking numbers.

However I have noticed one isolated case of such number devoid of alphabets. But the seller gave me the website to track it with (Yanwen post, if I recollect correctly), and surprisingly it worked.

Nevertheless, to be sure, you may have to head back to "Manage my orders" on your profile at aliexpress and chat up the seller that gave you those numbers. Ask him/her to provide you with the websites to track the numbers.

blueheart:
Sorry guys. Am a newbie at this. Mine says unsuccessful delivery on the 22nd June but the summary status says on route. Does that mean my order is still on track or what am I supposed to do. Also, the shipping address I gave is ibadan but going by the tracking it's in lagos. Please advice
*I think "Unsuccessful delivery" is insignificant especially if you've taken delivery of the item. There are three items I had taken delivery of over the past 5 months and if I track it today, I get "unsuccessful delivery attempt" as the last recorded event.

Have you taken delivery of the item?

*From personal experience, even if the shipping address is in the clouds, as long as it is within Nigeria, the first event when it reaches the country usually reads "Item delivered at Lagos customs". Once it clears custom, it is dispatched to the various post offices closest to the delivery address all over the country. From experience, the moment my mobile application alerts me of "Lagos custom arrival", I just give an extra 3 to 7 days to lay hands on the parcel and usually within those days, the post office calls to notify me to come take my parcel.

For me, this has mostly worked for tracking numbers that end with CN, NL, and SG for China post, Netherland post and Singapore posts respectively.

However there are two items bought from the same seller over different periods (I later discovered it was the same seller). This is over four months now and I had even gotten approval for another 30 days extension of "customer protection" from the guy. This is because I'm yet to get both items despite the fact that according to tracking, they arrived Nigerian customs within two weeks of shipping (3 months ago now). The tracking numbers ends with "YW" for Yanwen. I have since gotten wary of tracking numbers that end with that. If by next week the parcel is yet to get to me, I plan to demand from the seller a refund or else "open dispute"

i have been buying items for personal use successfully on aliexpress for about 5 months now with few but resolvable hitches. I plan to step it up a notch to now sell items which means bulk purchase. But then I discovered that FOB prices of items are cheaper on alibaba than aliexpress even for the same exact item. In fact, the prices of some item i am eyeing for reselling in Nigeria are way costlier than what guys in nigeria sell such items from and i strongly believe our guys here source these products from china. I am used to aliexpress and very comfortable with their escrow service which is not always available on alibaba. My question therefore is: Can i NEGOTIATE prices of intended items with sellers on aliexpress to the cost price of d particular item on alibaba? Thank you.
