This isn't exactly accurate. It is true that NIPOST can't specifically track small mails, and the vast majority of items that is couriered by AliExpress through NIPOST are under the "small item" label.

This however is the case because NIPOST isn't responsible for the shipment of said items from source and are therefore unable to track them until they receive and scan them into their system. So until items brought into Nigeria by Malaysia post, Singapore Post, Netherland Post etc are handed over to NIPOST, they are unable to tell you the status of your parcel until they personally receive it.

I personally experienced this too, when my parcel arrived Nigeria, I reached out to NIPOST and they told me they couldn't track it cause it's a small mail etc, but the thing really is they were yet to receive it. Once I got notification that the item was now with Local courier, I sent another mail to nipost and this time they could tell me exactly where my item was. I could also see from the tracker how it moved from one office to another.

It’s true that NIPOST can’t track items until it’s scanned into their database, but at the same time, it’s not all items NIPOST scans into their database reasons best known to them, some of the items are received, sent to the nearest post office waiting for the owner to come and claim it - they sometimes call if they wish, all these without it being updated on AE tracking.

I ordered for phones and tablets. I used Uba MasterCard discounts for all my purchases, but the items never arrived since November 2025. I have even been to the airport Nipost but they said they couldn't track the package stating that they are not registered meaning that items that comes with LP usually comes in bags full of letters so they are not trackable and can easily get missing or stolen. Hence the reason why a lot of packages with LP, LX,LT and so on have such issues

90% of the issues stems from the anyhowness of NIPOST and their staffs. Same POS Malaysia (even PostNL, Singpost and Morning Global) that delivers to Nigeria does deliver to Ghana and some other west African countries, mostly no issues and prompt deliveries.

Since the staffs at NIPOST knows that if items are not delivered the burden is on Aliexpress and the seller, they either thief it or do not consider it priority and since there’s no one to checkmate them, they keep doing it.

Some sellers on AE now do not ship some certain Items to Nigeria again cos dem don too pay refunds to customers.

i have a feeling i will receive it sha, departed GMTC on 18th. But what’s bothering me is, you also ordered from same store

If you check the Nigerian reviews on Goldway store, some items were delivered some were not - so it kinda all boils down to luck, proximity or something - my order is coming to Ibadan, I feel it’s close to Lagos and shouldn’t be much of a hassle for NIPOST to deliver but they can never be trusted.

If I don’t get my order in the next 30 days, I’ll seek for refund - before rates turns something else entirely.

edson4life29:
Why are LP....MY packages not being delivered. I have packages since November 2025 and up till now no delivery update. Last update says package has arrived to local airport. What could be the issue?

What was the item you ordered?

You’re best seeking a refund as it is, you’re most likely not getting the item again.

BTW, have you checked post offices close to you? Sometimes the items are there and they just hasn’t been updated on the tracking page.

Lordpubg:
it’s always better to use a usd card, refund won’t be a problem. When first ordered my tab im waiting for and saw the CNG tracking no, was confused so told seller to cancel, and aliexpress took 2 days to do their judgement thing, the refund was processed on a Saturday, i got my refund that same Saturday .

$card no prob

I paid for mine with Kuda Visa Card, I wanted to use Opay but my limit couldn’t allow for such transaction - refunds are fast if Opay was used too - got to know about Bybit card after I made the order

Lordpubg:
I have hope coz back in 2019, while in Uni, ordered a phone, Lg g7, and was delivered by nipost then, tracking no was RB…SG
Btw, it update yesterday, from arrive to departed from global transit center, 2days

What did you order?

That tracking was Sing Post I believe - most people got their items handled by them same goes for PostNL too

Expect it to be at Airport 2-3 days after departed from global transit center.

It’s a 12.7” Xiaoxin Tablet - from Goldway store - that I ordered.

Lordpubg:
i guess i should be expecting mid march or match ending🥲

I love the kind of hope you have 😂😂

How I wish I get such hope, I’m jejely waiting for my order to remain 15 days to the end of buyer protection so I can jejely get a refund and as it is, due to exchange rate I’m already at 50k loss only God knows what it’ll be when I eventually get refunded.

Lordpubg:
but it’s impossible to request a refund? How does it work?

Before buyer protection ends the refund button will show - I think from when the buyer protection remains 15days.

Lordpubg:
How days e use from global transit mail center to naija?
bad luck, if only speedaf was used, i usually don’t check speedaf orders like this coz i know i will always receive their text in 2 weeks after order. I thought aliexpress dumped nipost

Will take 5-6 days

Remixz:
Last update was December 19, "Arrived destination country Airport".

You’re most likely not getting it - seek for refund

Those are the issues with NIPOST

Lordpubg:
i have a feb order tho, and seemed to have stuck here, first time with the LP*******MY number tho

😂😂😂

You wey just dey start, mine will be 3 weeks e reach airport by Friday, I mailed NIPOST, dem say it’s not in their system yet even when I gave them all evidence it’s at the airport.

So, it seems I’m not getting it my item anytime soon (if I get it)

Kennyflyair:
With this Chinese new year, shey flight fit depart at all? My items don dey their airport dey await transit

Some flights may move - probably priority items, but definitely expect delays due to the extended holidays.

nathan000drake:
I finally got an update😤

Have you taken delivery of the item?

Emm22:
Smart watch

That confirms my claim kind of, stuffs like this gets delivered but when it comes to phones, tablets, EarPods etc hardly gets delivered.

I wanted to ask sef, in the case items were not delivered and refund was gotten, what happens to the items that got to airport and was never delivered? Does it get sent back to the seller or what?

Emm22:
I recently took delivery of my package from Nipost, it took 44 days

Yeah, read a while back you took delivery

What I meant by gadgets is stuffs like tabs, phones, EarPods etc

Was your delivered a gadget too? Or stuffs like watches, shoes or other stuffs apart from gadgets

Lordpubg:
. I wish i read too, basically items from Hong Kong are usually Nipost while mainland is Speedaf.

If someone is not patient, aliexpress would teach them how to be, and the tab is on temu, but i wanted the pro GT version, coz it more powerful

I just hope i get mine, coz i haven’t seen any successful delivery about Malaysia Post

Some people get their items that was sent via NIPOST tho,

But I’ve not seen anyone recently that received Gadgets that was sent via NIPOST.

Lordpubg:
seems you’re a pro, how do you know that?

Pro ke? Pro wey my item dey airport since last month 😂

It was after I ordered I read this thread from last year January till date - there are lots of informations here to digest about NIPOST and their crazy Saga. If I had not made my order before reading here, I won’t have made the order at all.

Cryomancer:
I am in the same shoe with you. I paid $9 for shipping fee and they also gave it to NIPOST. I have already threatened the seller that if my item doesn't land within 3 days, I am requesting for a full refund because I didn't ask him to use a terrible shipping line after paying $9. the delivery timeline that was quoted for me will elapse in 3 days and I am patiently waiting to file for a refund. I no send him papa.

Sellers don’t usually have a choice of shipping items, it handled by AliExpress unless you have someone in China or Hong Kong the seller can ship to, there’s pretty much nothing the seller can do.

Lordpubg:
It has changed😭.
My enemies will laugh at me😅

$21 for shipping and they gave a close delivery date.

But the choice free shipping has a longer delivery date, this doesn’t make sense aliexpress

😂😂😂

Welcome to the countdown gang.

Ex0rrcist:
My major concern is ordering the same product again and getting stuck at airport. I was asking how I can make sure it won't go through nipost.

Use Noobody - you won’t have delivery wahala

Lordpubg:
I really expected this AP should’ve changed by now, so i can know my fate. 😅Whether my enemies will laugh at me or i will slap em

Which one will make enemies laugh you? 😀

Lordpubg:
it’s not choice, a $265 order

I know your order is not a choice item

Be patient - your order will most likely be handled by POS Malaysia which will then be handed over to NIPOST - and at that point it’s a game of luck - you might get it or not 🙂

Lordpubg:
butvi read on this thread people with that AP later changed to NG***R

Majorly its choice items that gets shipped with SpeedAf, and sometimes choice items get shipped with POS Malaysia too.

Encitee3991:
Nipost via Malaysia post

Wow! That’s quite fast oh, arrived airport Jan 24th and already at regional facility by February 9 - this NIPOST thing don turn to luck 😀

Mine reach airport Jan 30th - let me hope for some updates 😀

nathan000drake:
I finally got an update😤

This must be a SpeedAf delivery right?

Lordpubg:
u scaring me bro🥲 after $21 for shipping, not cool

That’s the range I paid for shipping too - the same feeling you’re having is what I had when I ordered, I had expected it to go through a better shipping option sake of I paid $22 for shipping and here I am, package stuck with NIPOST with no delivery time line or if it’s going to be delivered at all.

Lordpubg:
how do you do it without paying customs, inirdered xaoxin pad pro gt for $265

It hasn’t been delivered, it’s in country since Jan 30 and no further update since then - and there’s a FAAN strike going on at Lagos Airport since Feb 2 that’s affecting clearing of items so maybe that’ll prolong the time it’ll get delivered (if it does).

I’ve zeroed my mind I’ll have to settle for refund (based on experiences of people that had similar orders far back December and it was never delivered - got stuck at its arrival at the airport just like where mine is) when it’s close to the end of buyers protection time.

Lordpubg:
Good day everyone. Got a tab on aliexpress for about $265 and ask seller to declare it a but lower to avoid issues with customs. But im worried about this tracking number as i have never seen it before. Is it speedaf?

Your order will most likely be handled by NIPOST when it reaches here(mine is from same goldway store). The tracking number will change when it’s been handed over for international delivery. Be prepared to have a great lot of patience.

XPaul:
I have requested for refund and it was sent back instantly to Opay. I have purchased similar product on Temu. Hopefully that is faster.

Since Dec 18, no update. Just arrived at local airport.

I want to ask, do they refund the shipping fee as well or just the item cost?

Encitee3991:
I ordered the Lenovo xiaoxin pad pro 12.7 2025, 2 Anker boom 3i speakers, 2 Nothing buds 2a, 2 anker P20i, 2 haylou headphone (s30 & S35), and a pen for my tab. None came.
Terrible experience

That’s the exact Tablet I ordered as well. Omoh!

I guess I’ll just have no other options than to wait till 15 days before buyers protection ends to request refund cos all indications so far means I’m not getting what I ordered. Hopefully I won’t have issues with Kuda when it’s time to process my refund.

My mistake was not checking on here before I proceeded to make my order, I just might have not gone ahead with the purchase.

This is really really a terrible experience.

BTW, were you able to get your refund on all of them?

Icent99:
My pain is the $65 coupon that got wasted, asides that the price of this tablet has drastically increased. Even with $40 off the best price i can see it's $400+

This might be what I’ll settle for like this cos it’s a tablet that I ordered, Xioaxin Pad Pro 2025.

BTW, Check Goldway Store (I ordered my own tab from them), they have Y700 2025 for $295, Lenovo Smart Store has the global variant for $342 if you have some Coupons, you might be able to reduce the price - that’s if there’s a guaranteed way to have it delivered to you.

There just might be some form of hope then.

Hopefully I get to receive my order cos I don’t want to go through refund process.
