They are telling me to fax some documents to some number like that. To get a Fax machine where I am not that easy. I just have to let it be.. Their Wahala don dey too much for me..

I would go to a business center and get it faxed to them if the money was mine. $600 is just damn too much to let go. Unless the money isn't legit.

abogjohn:
a good news tho.. Mine was gift card. That is why them dey do that nonsense. Do you have an idea on How much will I pay PaylessNigeria to bring the console, another pad and a charging dock??

I believe anything below 1lbs is 1k or so, and a pad and a charging dock are below 1lbs respectively. So my guess would be 2k for both, while the console charge is 15k, total should be 17k, Max 18k.

But you can contact him on here yourself to be sure: https://www.nairaland.com/5168636/ebay-buy-it-now-320

The only thing I dislike about the service is the guy that handles his waybill, he tends to overprice things. I paid #1200 to waybill a TV I got from someone in Lagos to PH, while the @payless waybill guy charged 4k to waybill a phone. It was so vexing. That guy will probably ruin business for @paylessnigeria

well u have a point... I would have loved to order one..... D 4k TVs on jumia "red Friday" are ridiculously priced...... I have Ps4 slim, so I don't need one... What other things can I other relevant and affordable shipping cost

Lol my exact thought, Jumia's black friday is as good as a scam. Over hyping the original price of items to make it look like they did a massive discount, whereas they did only a little discount. Deceit!
And don't get me started on their TV'S, all the affordable ones there are all China products from unknown brands, and those from known brands are old models that are overpriced, they try to shadow this by hiding model number and giving vague deceitful product description. I have checked literally every TV on Jumia and the disappointment was on an epic scale.

As for the PS4 slim, a 4k TV does enhance the 1080p to look more detailed and some 4k TV's have HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging which adds a whole lot more color and vibrance to your display. Am not saying u must get a 4k TV for your PS4 slim, am just correcting your assumption that a PS4 slim can't benefit from a 4k TV.

As for what other things u can get, well that is entirely up to u. I for one will be getting a JBL portable speaker, headset, PS4 slim bundle, a harddrive and whatever else am in need of that is affordable on that day.

Bro do u have any idea how much a 45-55 inches tv will cost on Amazon.... Plus can I have ur number to talk to u separately.. Cause this jumia black Friday nah nonsense

Smart TV'S are pretty cheap on Amazon, too cheap actually. Below are screenshots of the usual black Friday deals u will likely see.

But the only problem with ordering TV is shipped fee, since most freight forwarders charge based on the weight of items, the cost of shipping something like a TV is a little on the expensive side. Imagine buying a 43inch 4k smart TV for 50-60k and then getting told shipping fee is 70k? Yep that's what happened to me.

And then there is the slim chance of it getting damaged on the way as it is a fragile product.

Am just thinking They might stop developing games for ordinary PS4 soon because of the 1080p.. Gaming is evolving..

Lol. I can assure you that can never happen. The hardware on the PS4 and PS4 pro are a lot more similar than u can imagine, they simply beefed it up a bit on the pro model so it can upscale to 4k, as a result they can't develop PS4 Pro exclusive games as that would be stupid since both models have the same hardware at heart. Sony specifically said so when the Pro released, that they wouldn't be making any PS4 Pro exclusive
They won't stop developing games for the PS4 in the near future, but priority won't be giving to it again so we won't be seeing many blockbuster games on it anymore, most AA developers will port their releases to the PS5, while the PS4 becomes an after thought.

Omo no whahala is too much for $600 oh, unless u have a tree growing money in ur backyard oh.

Well ThankGod for the mail I received from them this evening, that they will unlock my account if I send them my account statement. It's GTB now that is my problem, they can't give me a card statement that actually looks like a statement, just one nonesense pdf that looks like a 5yr old made it up.

it happened to me once, I bought the cards from some guy, about $600 because it was cheaper buying from him than using Bank Cards.. wanna order for an iPhone 7plus. I was thinking they blocked it maybe because I wanted to ship to Nigeria direct. I lost the acct and the $600. So am thinking since I am shipping to the USA, then there shouldn’t be any problem?? But I will have to load the account with the gift card prior to that Nov 27th or 29th.

Mine wasn't gotten from a third party, a relative abroad sent it as a gift for a favour and he bought it himself from Walmart, I recently contacted him to send me the receipt for it incase they needed that, but they never asked for it, just closed it like that, I wouldn't be all that bothered if it came from one third party that might have stolen or gotten it from fraudulent means, but that is not the case here. They can't close my account simply because I made a mistake in my billing address and support can't even fix it because one anonymous and unreachable account specialist somewhere is unreasonable about unlocking back my account. I am definitely not letting it go, would have pressed charges if I were abroad.

I can't believe u let them have ur $600 just like that, not me. I'll keep bombarding them with mails until something is done about it.

And it's not even about shipping to Nigeria because my shipping address on my account is a US address, only billing address is Nigerian.

I want the pro, because I have a 4k TV

I also have a Samsung 4k TV, but they say cut ur coat according to ur size... It's the slim that can fit into my budget right now. Am personally not really crazy about the Pro.

But sure, if u can afford it then go for it.

Gucciboy1:
Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.

You're welcome!

abogjohn:
is there no PS4 Pro??

PS4 pro usually goes for $299 on black friday, but my suspicion is that it might go as low as $269 but that's just from rumour, the usual price is always $299.

is it advisable to use Amazon gift cards to make the other, Like load the amazon gift card on the amazon acct and use it to ship to the US address

Well you can do that, as it is a faster means of payment but be very careful with Amazon and Gift cards.

In August l loaded my account with $375, then bought a Samsung phone S8 for $200 + 12 tax and had $163 left in my account since then. Late last month I reloaded $10 with my new GTB card successfully to confirm if the card worked properly and it was successful, now had $173.

2 weeks ago I attempted to reload another $20 into my Amazon account using the same card and my account was locked temporarily, and I was asked to refill my billing address, I refilled the same billing address I used on prio transaction and I got a mail from Amazon that my account had been closed for whatever reason, contacted support and was asked to provide the exact billing address, went to the bank to find out that they had updated my billing address so I took it back to support, and was told an account specialist would get back to me.

It's been 2 weeks now and am still battling with this assholes called account specialists, my money is stuck in my account and I can't even Access the account, I keep getting the same repetitive mail of my account getting closed. So I wouldn't advice storing money on an Amazon account, buy with ur card and if it goes through good, if not ur money is still in your bank account.

It seems Amazon has a hobby of locking people's account for no apparent reason, and often times it's people with money in their accounts!

The date, already created my acct on amazon, contacted paylessnigeria already, gotten an address.. Just waiting for the black Friday

`

Bad guy!

Gucciboy1:
Will there be Custom charges or not if I decide to ship it to Nigeria with @mayorall or @paylessNigeria?
And how long will it take for them (@mayorall and @paylessnigeria) to deliver to Nigeria?
Please someone help me.

No you don't pay custom fee when you use them, and it usually takes 1 week for it to get to them in Nigeria after it arrives at their US address.
