Is lala on annual leave? Be ause I wonder how this had to attain front page. This is not something he's gonna like.

Like how can you allow "meat" to escape and think lala will be happy? You should be posting pictures of this thing as it transits from the blade of your cutlass to the pot and into your mouth, not as it transits into the bush.

As long as it is a Nigerian police officer that is missing and not a human being or innocent Nigerian, no problem.

If it's a human being now or an innocent Nigerian, then I can start to worry for the safety.

If his colleagues like, they should leave him to rot away where ever he has been kidnapped to.

Some of the police officers in that station probably know about that den. They are probably in cahoots with the perps.

This is because a den situated behind police station will be the last thing to cross the minds of any search parties.

So it's a good place to hide in plain sight.

Ìdí at Nigerian policemen. If na human being now, dem go dey do strong head and even direct the muzzle of the gun to the chest of the innocent victim, pull the trigger and claim that no one was shot.

But ordinary guard dog, and the dullard is wetting his pants....

WHITELIGHTER:
Submitted my dispute yesterday and got this today...

Woah. I'm so happy for you. You actually got full refund. Did you upload video to AE team? And did you include the screen shots of your conversation with the seller?

You see, I have lost disputes due to damaged item before, so I know how painful it could be and wouldn't wish anyone loses a legit dispute no matter how small the money is.

There is also this 2019 corolla window master control (driver's) side that I purchased to replace the factory one that smoked (9ja dealers' prices was prohibitive so I went for the cheaper plus illuminated buttons option on AE). The package came with just three out of the four buttons functional. I thought the problem was compatibility issues until I eventually went back to 9ja dealers where they confirmed that the unit the seller sent was defective. By that time, it was already a month after purchase protection expiration. I'm still mad at myself as I type for missing my opportunity for a refund.

Were can I get lifepo4 battery

The supplier was a recent member here, but I can't really recall his user name.

Here is his number: O8O3 O63 32O2. Ships his batteries from Jos, plateau state.

About a week ago, I discovered he has a listing on Jìjì. I would have put the Jìjì link but for fear of the spambot banning me. However I have attached a screenshot to aid your search for him on jiji

Does SpeedAF handle SG parcels on arrivals? I reside in Lagos(If that means anything).

Nope. Once your tracking number spots anything aside the alphabets "NG", it's handled by NIPOST upon entry to Nigeria.

In fact, NIPOST is already eroding into Speedaf's space sef as they apparently highjack "NG" parcels. Once that happens, the parcel is subjected to the same prolonged imprisonment that other shopping like SG, HK, AU, etc etc suffers.

Hausa:
Nice.
How much did you pay to Collect?

Zero naira.

It's speedaf, not yèyé NIPOST.

agadam:
My first order from AE, as at 15 nov.
is here already

Seems first time users/orders on AE are getting quick results; their items arrive Nigeria in less than two weeks whereas the veterans here are having to wait from between 75 days to forever to get their items.

Could it be a "beginner's luck" thingy?

Lixusheng:
the arbitration team for aliexpress dem be like gods

And while it may be accepted that the infallibility of humans can sometimes make them to arbitrate wrongly and make erroneous judgements, the annoying thing is that there is an appeal button that they almost never attend to.

Why put an appeal button when you know you're never gonna investigate the reason for appealing the judgement?

This is one reason I detest them.

Olosho everywhere.

Actually since she is known as a movie actress, all those people will still think she is making a scene in a movie.

Biko, someone should please tell me the implication of one million followers on IG. Does it mean 1 million naira monthly? Maybe I should go open an IG account ASAP and work towards gathering followers. Even 100 thousand naira daily from 100 thousand followers ain't bad.

Degrezhaa:
Got my order today, I tested the screen and found out the screen touch is not working. I've messaged the seller about it, and I'm thinking of opening dispute.

Make a video showing the defect. Send a copy to a provided email of the seller. Make sure the seller replies in your AliExpress message acknowledging the fact that the item isn't fully functional. If possible try to haggle the possibilities of full refund with him. He may ask you not to open dispute but to provide your PayPal account where he will pay the refund; do not agree to this. But lead him to acknowledge and agree to refund (partial or full, preferably full). Then grab a screenshot of your conversation.

File for dispute sharp sharp. Upload the video and upload the snapshots of your conversation with the seller and the pending agreement.

Note: At times, uploading a screenahot of your conversations may be unnecessary, because AE arbitration team seem to have access to message conversation between people on the dispute platform.

IMAliyu:
What is gtb trying to get into.

I know I have enough money in the account, and I haven't used anywhere near the 200usd limit.

Yours is about the fifth similar case in the past 48hrs. I hope GTB ain't trying to back out from allowing cards for international spending. Àbí has anything new happened to dollar availability besides what we are used to and that we are yet to know of?

TruthUntold:
My combined has been in clearance since 24th without moving, am I the only one?

Mine entered customs clearance on 24th and with one or two other peeps here. By 28th, I already got notification of successful clearance and onward movement to local distribution centres. It's speedaf though.

If yours is regular NIPOST handled tracking numbers, the update may not come up quickly even though the clearance stage may have been successfully passed.

Of course, if it's NIPOST, you should add two to three weeks delivery period to the time Speedaf delivers after clearance.

jum33:
I am on a low budget and want to buy this inverter battery Famicare 12v 100ah and I need someone to help me review whether it will serve my purpose for the following load : 3 ceiling fan , 2 25w low energy bulb and a 50 inches led TV .
How many hours am I expected to get from a full charge? Is the claim for 100ah is really true cos some manufacturer do lie.thanks

On those loads you listed, you should be able to get a good 30 minutes (half-hour) backup max. It may also drop to around 10 minutes backup after few weeks of use.

ojeysky:
Felicity works fine but when it comes to price(powmr wins), performance(same but I tend to think powmr is more rugged) and features I will do powmr.

I concur.

Felicity will have made itself a darling if they add more to their UI especially on their CCs and Lithium batteries. The price tags seems to be too high for the bland user interfaces on their CCs and more especially their LFPs.

And oh, they should also refrain from falsely inflating the rating on their products too. That is another seriously annoying bad habit from Felicity. I'm even somehow thinking that the rating on their inverters are falsely high since that trend has already been established for their lithium batteries and somehow with their CCs - referring to the tirade between Wilmaria and a client few posts back. Although the CCs rating query is still not established yet.

samnaija:
Would really like more inputs thanks in advance.

Do you think an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) can come in handy into this your application? Check out the functions of the device on AliExpress and see if it could work. They are kinda expensive though.

Worst case scenario, an inexpensive Manual Transfer Switch.

ceaser:
Well, for those getting weary that their items seem to be taking long with customs, items that got customs clearing status on monday seem to have finally been cleared today friday.

Below are two items that have been cleared by customs and already sent to the local distribution centres.

Well, so 3 days after, the items (8 combined items in all) have been delivered in one big a55 nylon pack like that.

cappyolu:
Please, is it confirmed or he say she say. I could go open an account because of this

You'd be shocked they'll tell you that the debit card available isn't mastercard, but verve.

That's what Zenith, a big bank for that matter, was doing few weeks ago. Imagine a bank like Zenith issuing verve card to new customers. I can't say if they've gone back to issuing mastercard though. Even when Ecobank was to rẹ-issue a card following expiration, they were dangling before me the unavailability of mastercard and if I would love to have a verve instead. I just told them to hold their nonsense card jeje.

Ruhamah23:
Does Speedaf do home delivery.... Or I have to there office to get my item....?

Speedaf does home/doorstep delivery (with no extra cost) using freelance agents, usually for parcels with tracking numbers that end with "R".

The ones that end with "E" or "O" usually requires self pick up.

okikigsm:
somebody should help on this,my first time of buying on as with my Gtb card.what can I do pls?

It's either of two things at the moment.

First, your gtb card may have not been provisioned for international spending on sites like AliExpress going by your statement that this is your first time.

So to have it provisioned, you need to call customer care.

Second, and this is for those that may have successfully used their gtb cards for online procurement before and are getting this response, this may be due to some network hitches. I have only encountered this issue with my GTB card once.or twice.

wisane:
The monthly card limit is $200. You can't spend more than that each month with your card. (At the moment)

If the spending limit is the issue, the response will clearly state that the user "has exceeded the spending limit and should contact the bank"

Mumu man.

The other time that we had whistleblowers thronging and all coming out to expose sleaze and corruption within your government, in line with the encouragement you gave at that time, what happened to them?

You began to threaten them because the exposé was getting closer to home and was likely to get you (Buhari) indicted.

So in order to safeguard their own lives, properties, families and ensure for themselves a chance to blow their whistle at a time when a more reasonable, less corrupt and tolerating government is in place, they decided to withdraw into their shells until such opportune time.

Ruhamah23:
Pls how many days does it take custom to release an order shipped within speedaf....

Well, for those getting weary that their items seem to be taking long with customs, items that got customs clearing status on monday seem to have finally been cleared today friday.

Below are two items that have been cleared by customs and already sent to the local distribution centres.

Guys, I just picked the redmi note 10 pro I ordered from Xiaomi Global Online Store, 21 Oct.
Item arrived destination 22 Nov, reached my local PO 24 Nov, I got the call today, 26 Nov.
The seller shipped out within 24 hrs. I paid #500 at the PO, no custom duty even though the seller declared the item as Mobile Phones (fear grip me since).

Special tnkx to Samsard n Lixusheng for making the order possible off #land (first timer on Ali), n to Jboixxx for delivering yesterday the nillkin screen guard I'd use to protect this phone.

RB151727308SG

Well, yours is a rare case. Usually once in a blue moon, the greedy pokey eyes of custom officials miss one or two mobile phones, such phones escape being stolen or have prohibitive duty slammed on it. Yours seems to be one of such rarity. I guess the huge volume due to 11/11 must have fatigued them or worn them out making them to have some misses.

Congrats on your acquisition.

Tunar18:
Thanks so much for that comprehensive response. I've got the package. Can you please give me the link of the tracking website you uploaded or if it is an app, the name.

It's "track24" app in the store. You can download and install it. You can also visit their website through a web browser.

WHITELIGHTER:
It was shipped via speedaf, but I'm sceptical it won't be free sending it back

I think it will be free. But there's only one way to find out, right? Visit them and tell them it is "returns". Don't tell them "you want to ship an item to China". Tell them you want to return an item that they delivered to you because it was defective.

I once encountered a buyer at speedaf office that returned a pair of shoes delivered to him because the size was off the size he ordered. Though it was the 3rd day after delivery, I think, that he returned it to their office.

Harwal:
yes I noticed boss, thanks
I visited the post office today (ikole ekiti) and was told it hasn't arrived,
so I called nipost CC number and was told it was delivered in the state capital (ado ekiti)
should I go to the state capital or can someone help me collect it there or I should wait, I was told here they'll receive new order on Tuesday in ikole here..
it's my address post office address I used

thanks again

The people at Ado may turn down your request to have it collected there, except maybe you know someone personally there. The reason is that the monies they charge on the parcels are usually recorded against each local post office as the IGR to be later forwarded to the Ado Central Post office. So if a parcel addressed to Ikole is dispatched to the recipient at Ado, Ikole post office will be cheated of the charges on that item as it will not be recorded for them but most likely for Ado.

However as I said earlier that if you know someone personally there in Ado, they may hand over the parcel to you and collect the money, but it will be recorded for Ikole and once the postmaster from Ikole comes around to Ado for dispatch, the money will be handed over to him as his branch revenue.

I have misplaced my contact number at Ado Post office, otherwise I may have suggested you contact the person. But except you transit to Ado from Ikole on frequent basis, I will suggest you wait it out for the parcel to be dispatched to Ikole, just give it about a week extra.

Return fare from Ikoke to Ado will approach about 1k5, if I'm not mistaken. So except the item cost price is worth 10k above, it may be wise to kúkúma wait for ikole post office to finish their job. If you also have the number of Ikole postmaster, you may just call him/her about an impending delivery cos at times those suburb NIPOST staff try to wait for their office-bound parcels to accumulate appreciably in Ado before going to haul them.

WHITELIGHTER:
I bought a phone motherboard from china, it ain't working fine, the seller wants me to send it back for replacement, I told it will be too expensive. What's the best approach to such?

Create a video showing the suboptimal performance. Send the seller a copy (usually to an email he provides). Open dispute and upload a copy as evidence. Then select your refund options as either "partial refund" or "full refund".

Sending parcels back to China is foolhardy. It ain't worth the stress.

Oh, except the initial shipping was done via "speedaf" and they delivered it to you. Then within one week, you should be able to return it to them (speedaf) as rejected and then it can be shipped back on their tab, mostly free of charge.

This question is a recurring decimal.

Even here on naira land, it is a topic that has graced the front page time after time.

This implies that it is a nagging question that tends not to go away with the barrage of answers provided and it seems to follow the fact that the more solutions/answers you get regarding it, the less you know about it.

So is love at first sight really love?

Fact is, that you fell in love with someone right now does not mean that that is the only person that can ever appeal to you. There are always tens, possibly hundreds of other partners out there that will best what you can see at the moment and appeal more to your senses than the one you currently believe is the best for you.

So if you fall in love at your first sighting of a potential partner, what then happens when couple of minutes after or days after you sight another that appear to be better, huh?

Based on that, love at first sight is a concept created in your minds to convince yourself that that which you loved is the only one or the best one for you.

Why not keep your options open then? Take things one step at a time, and with one person of course. Not simultaneously on multiple fronts (individuals) else you risk turning yourself to an Olosho or Brolosho. So appreciate at first sight, take some time to study yourselves and determine how far your compatibilities go, you can along the way begin to love the person for whoever they are - of course with the end game of matrimony - and finally you can pop the big question.

Harwal:
gratitude bro

Your item is ready for collection at the post office closest to your delivery address. The status update has changed to "unsuccessful delivery" and is ready fir collection. You will likely be contacted soon, otherwise you may have to visit the place yourself.

Harwal:
can you help me check my own too
"Arrival at inward office of exchange, Lagos air"
since 17th of this month
UA410288208VU

Your item is just 29 days in transit and it is already within the shores of Nigeria. I will say that is a fair performance for a parcel being handled by Sunyou and cainiao and NIPOST. Usually, expecting NIPOST handled packages to arrive is a nightmare but this seems to have made it into the country quickly.

Last information was 17th as "arrived inward office of exchange". The estimated delivery period is put at the days between 18th November and 6th December. So I'd say you should expect to be contacted in about a few days time. In the meantime you should keep tracking it to follow up the transit.

Tunar18:
Please I'm a first time buyer on AliExpress. How am I going to know if my parcel is around and what will be the solution in the event that they couldn't reach me when they call because some times people say they call my line and I wouldn't see their missed calls on my phone.

Tracking the movement of the item like in the screenshot I uploaded earlier will give you an idea of when it reaches Nigeria and the subsequent transit within Nigeria.

If handled by post office (NIPOST), you usually get a "delivery failure" tracking notification to signal that it has reached the final post office where you will likely receive it and where the phone call may emanate from. That post office will be the one closest to the address you dropped for the shipment. If you feel that you may have been unreachable within this period, then you can pay a visit to that post office armed with your tracking number and name.

If handled by Speedaf, you will also be called. Also tracking on speedaf will give you the name of the courier agent for last mile carrier, including his phone number. So you can also give him a call if you feel like.
