mr AliExpress talking

I just be learner o. But what kanai say?

uncleinans:
You didn't see where it states that the bombs followed rocket fired from palestine? Please always be objective and stop been bias.

Israel will never just wake up and send missiles to palestine. Palestinians are always the first to start trouble. when Israel revenge now the whole muslims will start shouting up and down

I'm shocked that he conveniently ignored the part that read "following rockets fired from Palestine" but majoring on the retaliatory reaction that was appropriately directed to an initial onslaught action.

Collected an item that was shipped August 16 today at Ado Ekiti post office and I saw people that are just receiving March order today and the post office people are still saying it's fast imagine ooo order of March this year they said some last year items are just coming in sef I was shoked

Those yèyé people that will write in the text that you should come for parcel before 1pm. Their opening hours is 9am to 1pm, even though they claim it's 2pm intra covid. But get there by 9:05am or 1:30pm na gateman you go meet.

I use a lot of locations for collection nationwide. But their lackadiasical attitude to parcel sorting of late is very discouraging and I might just have to remove them from my addresses.

So I got called for an order of June.
Ordered: 19/06/20
Shipped: 29/06/20
Carrier: AESS (SingPost)
Transit: 81 days
Tracking update last showed "dispatched overseas" on 25th July. No update to "delivered" at all up till now.

Meanwhile two orders I made made last month, 06/08 and 21/08 have both updated to "failed delivery" within the last 24hrs. However I'm yet to be called to receive them. One is AESS (SingPost) and the other is outright SingPost.

Updates on those later when I take delivery.

That chrisvicmall guy's conversion rates are out of this world.
490 naira per dollar and 69 naira per yuan
Plus fees oo(which you'd still convert using the same high conversion rate). Nawa.

But then again... It's almost like using AliExpress together with dhl shipping or better.
High price but reliable.

Edit: just checked and he has reduced it to 475 naira per dollar and increased yuan to 71 naira

The guy na gambler. Simple.

Jobless people..

I'm not from the SE, but I voted. So, there you have it.

Trump is using this as campaign strategies.

He'll say to the electorates in the US:

We have brought peace to the middle East without firing any bullets or launching any rockets. We have saved the lives of countless American soldiers, fathers, brothers, mothers who would have otherwise fought in a war and possibly lose their lives defending American interest to establish a free world and peace in the middle East.

This is seriosuly, extremely opposite what the democrats under Biden will want, that is using American tax payers' money to fight meaningless wars. But you can see that we have achieved this without spilling the blood of innocent American soldiers. The billions of dollars that would have been used to fight this war will now be used to bring comfort to every American child, man and woman out there. This is what I mean by always, firstly and seriously putting American interest first. This was my MAGA mandate to the Americans. This is my promise to you.

I therefore urge all well meaning Americans to vote for me in the polls. Even if that will be your last day on earth, use that moment to vote for me.

God bless America.

Why is DHL shipping so expensive ....
Buying an item of $20 and DHL shipping cost $100 why??

The sellers most times inflate the shipping cost of DHL, FedEx et al. You can chat up the seller to negotiate on your own case the DHL shipping price he attached to the item.

brendan007:
31st of May this year, I ordered for a pair of an item which cost a little over 3 dollars. On the 24th of June, shipment was canceled by the seller.

I made contact with the seller and was told that shipment has been changed and I'm give another tracking number (item is unregistered), I decided to hold on.

I got a notification that the item had arrived Nigeria 3 months ago but my visits to the post office yielded nothing.

Since buyer's protection was running out, I filed a dispute and received a refund.

Two days ago, I got a call from the post office that I come pick my item and on getting there today, I received three parcels with three different tracking numbers all containing the same item I bought.

It turns out that the items were shipped in a space of ten days with two of the parcels shipped within 24hours by the seller.

I wonder who has had this kind of experience before.

I've sent a message to the seller and I'm awaiting his reply.

It's only the bolded that I experienced about a week ago. Not to the level of delivery yet. Given the new tracking number, I'm expecting the parcel.

akpunda86:
Morning.Opened a dispute.iv been refunded since july.i sourced the materials locally.which d project completed.
Seller said if they get a buyer within africa they contact me.Right now all in my stores.

This is a good arrangement. I guess the item is much.

That means the new buyer will not need to wait for 1 month before the item gets to him. You're now kind of like AE warehouse in Nigeria supplying Nigeria and the West Africa subregion, like it happens with Russian buyers on AE. They usually receive their items fast because AE sellers have warehouses in Russia.

But wait, who now pays for the shipping from you to the new buyer?

Mofolam:
Which kyn tracking number be this?! Thank God for copy n paste.

Na BITCOIN tracking number be dat.

It's likely bitcoin is the logistics company.

Barezzi:
I plan to do something similar on my genset starter battery (12Vdc 7Ah) to keep it healthy and charged as it runs once a quarter.
Options:
A. Get a Victron Orion 48v to 12v DC/DC converter and a timer to switch it on twice a month for 30 mins
B. Get an old laptop charger and connect it to the pv input of a charge controller. The same timer will switch on the laptop charger as above.
C. Replace the genset starter battery with Lithium equivalent and charge once a year.
D. Replace the timer switch above with a Victron BMV 712 from ojeysky and switch based on SOC or voltage.
E.

Any more suggestions will be appreciated.

Just connect a small 12v 1amp solar panel with an inline diode to the battery to trickle charge it. I think that may suffice.

contease:
Hi Ceaser and everyone.

I have an idea am trying to figure out it's possibility before embarking.

Please would appreciate a response accordingly. See questions below:

1. In a complete setting of inverter, mppt controller, batteries and solar. I want to replace the solar panel with an equivalent battery charger voltage. Example, on the mppt, the batter is connected to the battery slot, inverter is connected to the inverter slot then instead of the solar, I will connect an equivalent voltage capacity say 24v battery charger for a 24v inverter system. (normal ac battery charger) to the mppt. I already have my idea sketched waiting execution.

Guys, your thoughts please.

Whoever is available with an understanding of the solar system, please lets discuss this concept on whatsapp:

https:///qr/EIJPRNGHLYFCJ1

Whatever you want to do, do not connect any form of charging source apart from solar panels to the solar panel input of a charge controller.

The charge controller is for panels, not for AC chargers. You can't even connect wind turbine generator to the terminal except manufacturer's specification says the charge controller also supports wind power input.

contease:
2. We all know on the mppt, the solar slot only allows for a one-way current flow, the battery side allows for a two-way current flow.

The solar input terminal does not "allow two way flow" as you think. Rather the design is to prevent current flow in the reverse direction from the battery going back into the solar panel at night. This has two benefits: it prevents parasitic drain from the batteries into the panels at night and it also protects the solar panels from damage that may result from that.

contease:
What is the nature of flow on the inverter/load side. This is just to enhance my knowledge to fine tune my concept/idea for my new concept.

The load terminals of a charge controller also has reverse protection, especially the premium ones, and usually supports the max current of the CC itself, that is a 60A charge controller may support loads up to 60A on the loads terminals. That notwithstanding, it is not usually used for inverter loads. It's just for light loads like DC appliances like your DC bulbs, modems, chargers etc. So discard the idea of hooking your inverter onto the load terminal of your CC. Rather connect it directly to your battery terminals.

This. Is niiiiiice!

Barezzi:
So it's actually 120Ah?
This one pass highway robbery if true.

Edit: I was already salivating at the prospect of stacking 5 of them to get 1000Ah 48V dc lithium bank!

Lol. Bàbá wan hit jackpot

Amocee:
The post woman bringing another order of mine today told me to have 2800 naira cash at hand cos it's a phone and it has been taxed at the PO. Isn't that too much? Aess o.

They are just trying to be smart aleck. I'm not sure you should be billed up to that amount.

On the flip side, you should be glad it was NIPOST trying to job you cos if it were to be customs, well you'll get to pay like 15k as fees.

Just insist that they should issue the official payment receipt for you. I usually insist that when I suspect foul play in their charges.

Mheeen thanks for this idea. I'm gonna paint my dog in tiger colours. Na for unwarranted trespassers including those useless herdsmen that graze their cattle in front of the fence to keep off my property with a 2 kilometer long pole. The building is in a fairly new site with few great buildings but with profuse natural vegetation to attract dem herders.

If dem herders could have free grazing pass at National Assembly and in front of Aso Rock in Abuja, my own na small but with this idea, it's more scare for the trespassers. (laughing hysterically like despicable me).

justcallmenuel:
200Ah 24v and 200Ah 48v felicity lithium battery now available.
200Ah 24v is 380k
200Ah 48v is 700k

Call/WhatsApp/Telegram us on 08168986461

I don't know why I keep stealing back glances at this Felicity lithium offerings knowing fully well that we've trashed out the overdeclared nominal capacities here. I pray greed will not take the better part of me.

Maybe it's because of my own supplier's price tag of 48/200 which is like 200k above the price tag of the Felicity's equivalent. I don already calculate what that 200k extra will add to my set up.

Edopesin:
is it possible to get a refund in a different account, cos some of us had to use a different card to get pass the monthly limit

If for a 5 USD dollar item you decide to split payment into 2usd and 3usd with two different cards, the refund of each parts of the split will be to the respective account attached to the cards used. Just make sure that you open dispute for the two part payments and not just one part, expecting the other part to automatically get refund.

osadolor153:
You right bro, it's cainiao and yanwen/turkey post both packages are iPhones

Hah! iPhone kwa?! Or you mean to type iPhone accessories. Which seller sends phones through Yanwen or Cainiao? It's just like saying you wanna take one chance bus for roadside instead of heading to the motor park It's neither here nor there. You can get away with paying dirt cheap transport fare but it could also turn to the worst nightmare with dem robbery or kidnapping shyte.

It's usually small packages or inconsequential items that are usually sent thru though Yanwen or Cainiao portals. For phones anything less than DHL, FedEx or AESS na scam o.

The post office people or customs will be tempted to steal such.

Good decision

If it was Nigerian Police, the IGP would "look away"

If it was Nigerian Army, they will say the officer is an "unknown Soldier"

Meanwhile, that the erring officer is punished for striking a civilian, it will put some awe in the minds of the civilian population not to misbehave to the officers cos if LASTMA can punish it's own for maltreating a civilian, then it will by no means spare a civilian who misbehaves to any officer.

Hi experts, I have 80 watts panel on a 480 watts battery
The worry here is I want to charge my phone while the solar is still charging the battery, What’s the assurance that the panel is charging the battery

I guess you intend to type 480 watt-hour (12v 40 ah) battery and I'll wager it's those blue coloured lithium types. If I'm correct, you should get the functions of the four terminal wires correctly (2 input and 2 output) wires.

You also connected it directly to the 80 watts panel which isn't good for the battery. There should be a charge controller in between the two. You can get by with a small sized - maybe 10A to 20A - charge controller; one with bulk of 14.4v and float of 13.7v should be fine. If you also have a DC-DC buck controller with 14.4v output lying around, you can co-opt that too, better still if the buck controller has adjustable output voltage. The PWM charge controller should be able to provide you with info on your charging status. Some DC-DC buck controller, especially the ones with adjustable output voltage and current also come with voltmeter which you can read to guess your charging status.

About charging your phone, just get a cheapie car usb charger (shouldn't be more than 1k5), connect it to the output terminals of your battery and you're good to go. Of it's a PWM charge controller that you are able to lay your hands on, get ones with 5v usb ports included.

They said mine is not trackable that it's non priority mail, me I don't understand

Maybe it's Yanwen or Cainiao or CHINA post Small Packet. They are trackable only when it is within the country of origin - China, but the moment is gets out of there, it's OYO.

Lemonz:
Free shipping can't be tracked after it reaches Nigeria.

It's not whether it is "Free shipping" or not that determines if it will be trackable or not. It's for the reasons given above. You can have a 120 USD or even 450 USD item with logistics as free shipping on AESS, CPRAM, CPSP, SingPost, DHL, EMS or even FedEx. They will all be trackable.

Alozera:
Happy Sunday guys! Please I've been trying to ask this question, but it always skips my mind..
My GT MasterCard will expire by month end and it's possible that I might get refunds next month for others not delivered via that same expired card. So what should i do to successfully get the refunds if there's any refund next month? If I get a new card, will the refund still come through or must it be the old card?
Someone should please enlighten me..

The refunds will be to your account irrespective of card change. However in cases where you need to complete a "dispense error form" for error on other transactions, you will need to enter the info of the card you used.

Besides there is this thing with GTBank - the new card you're issued still has the same 16 digit card number as you expired card. The only different information on the new card will be a new date of expiry and new CCV both of which are as equally important as the 14 - digit info. I have had three card changes so far (two expiries and one damaged card). The new cards always bore the 16 digit number of the first card.

I like it that way cos you can always memorize your card number while the new numbers you need to bother yourself with are the new date of expiry and CCV. You may or may not decide to use your old PIN.

ceaser:
Meanwhile in the same breath, I got a weired update of an item. This was around a week after seller claimed to have shipped it and gave me the tracking number.

This is a first. Anyone knows what the "shipment cancelled" may imply.

Meanwhile I have checked out the order info and AE still considers the order as valid and the logistics is still ongoing.

So I eventually got a reply from the nonsense seller claiming that post office has lost the item. 1 day in transit item o that has not even left China sef abi shey na China my post office dey ni? So if I had not queried the tracking info or I had not even birthered to tack the item, that's how the useless seller woulda kept quiet while purchase protection runs out and he will get paid for services not rendered.

@Emily22 @Hayqiu010 you see what I'm saying about some sellers' mischief in claiming they've sent items when it becomes apparent they will not be able to meet the shipping deadline.

Annoying part is that the guy is still asking "May I help you?" after my first message has explained in detail the nonsense he'd done. Feigning stupid ignorance. These Chinese can scam heh.

ceaser:
Usually it's the seller that gives you, deliberately of course, a wrong tracking number for your item not shipped. In most cases, the seller will apologize to you and lie that it was an error. At times the problem may be that he does not have the item at that moment but hopes to ship it at a date later than the "preparing item for shipping" time. He will then mark your item as shipped and give you a tracking number of an item coming to your town, to Nigeria or to West Africa. This means that it will take some weeks of tracking for you to realize the anomaly and have your suspicion raised. If your item is eventually shipped at a later date, the seller can voluntarily inform you of a change in tracking number. Some will not, and when you find out that you've been tricked and you ask him questions, he will then apologize that it was an error and them give you the correct tracking number.

In the scenario in which he did not ship the item and you decide to open dispute, he will not drag refund dispute with you, in fact he will be the one that suggests you open dispute. You will be impressed by his "honesty" and end up giving him 5 stars review. This is a better outcome for the seller, better than if he had messaged you that he is out of stocks and therefore can't ship your item in which case you will cancel the order on "seller is out of stock" reason which attracts penalty to the seller from AE.

I have seen thru those sellers' fascade, so I do not fall for that their useless strategy.

earthrealm:
ol boy. where are you getting your supply, abi u wan import am yourself. your main in jos is saying 1.5m for 48v 300ah lifepo4

That's like 500k per 100ah. Last I conversed with him, his 48/100 was 480k. I guess dollar muxt have been doing him strong thing too.

Was called for three parcels today.

Two (Yanwen) had been in transit for 5 months. The third was on transit for 35 days. AESS (via Singapore post). All three parcels were small. I noticed the items trickling in for me for the past two weeks (5 so far) are all small parcels. Large parcels shipped earlier and later, even those that had shown "arrived destination" for 2 weeks now are yet to be delivere. Apparently, NIPOST is sorting out the small parcels leaving the big ones to gather dust till a later time when the resume full service.
