Lol. Better be vigilant. 0% positive reviews and you don't think something is fishy? First rule of buying from A.E go through the reviews to determine if it's a scam or not.

Bro it's a big scam! Very funny
No customers review about the product.

Thanls

Most free DHL shipping (for items less than $100) may not be shipped via DHL, it doesn't mean they are fraudulent. When you make the order, they will often tell you to cancel and reorder that they can't ship with DHL or offer to give you a non existent DHL tracking while shipping with other shipping method to avoid AE from sanctioning them.

I think some of these sellers that sell loads of goods don't even realise the shipping method they attach to some certain goods.

Any seller that does not reply me on a weekday after two days is already in my blackbook. I won't buy from such seller.

The only time I buy an item with zero reviews is when the store has only few items, with great number of followers (often top brand from AE) and other listed items have great reviews and the item I'm buying is less than $15

Eg check out attached screenshot.

You very right!
The store has few followers and there is no customers review about the product.

Thanks...

Think twice to avoid stories that touch

Bro... It's a big scam...! Thanks.

Good Morning Guys...
I've been ordering from AE since 2018 but I've never used DHL as courier for any of my order. I want to order LED selfie Ring light for my friend. So I searched through a particular store and saw FREE SHIPPING with DHL. I dropped a message for the seller since last week but no reply till now.

So my question is;
1. Is it really free shipping cos we all know how expensive DHL shipping Fee can be.
2. Has anyone received free delivery Via DHL from AE before?

Ps: I'm ordering 20 pieces.
I don't want a situation where they will come and start charging me hundreds of thousand later.

So that's my reason for asking these questions. God bless you all.

Just imagine! This man sha...! SMH

Best Afternoon to y'all

Lots of N-Power Batch C applicants have been in a state of worry and dilemma if their N-Power NASIMS Biometric Enrollment which was done few months ago was successful, some N-Power Batch C applicants used four fingers while others captured the entire fingers.

Please take note, whether you captured the entire fingers or four fingers, you do not have to be bothered as your biometric enrollment was done successfully regardless of the number of fingers captured, the main thing is that it should not be below four, four fingers and above is okay, and this will not affect your enrollment.

Pls is the biometric enrollment still ongoing?

Attention AliExpress Shoppers: Urgent Notice!

As you all know, Nigerian banks have placed a limit to the maximum amount of dollars per month we can use for international shopping at $100.

And this is causing a lot of difficulties, especially if you want to order anything above $100 on Aliexpress.com.

To solve this the only option we have is, to tell AliExpress to;
1. Enable INSTALLMENTS payment for us Nigerians on any item from $100 and above.
2. Enable "Aliexpress POCKET" for us Nigerians too, so we can accumulate dollars in there and use it to pay/shop.

They did this for Brazilians so why not us?

To make AliExpress heed, each and everyone of us must head to Aliexpress App on our phones, chat up their customer service agent, tell them to enable 1 and 2 for us in Nigeria.

Then also head to "App Suggestions" and tell them the same thing.

If up to 200 people can talk to them today about this, they will listen and help us pay in installments to get things we need all the time.

Please let's have one mind and help ourselves to shop unlimitedly on Aliexpress.com. Thank you.

In case you don't know how to get to Aliexpress customer service agent, follow the steps below;

To Chat with an Agent
1. Open Aliexpress App
2. Tap "Account".
3. Tap "Help Center"(Wait till it opens).
4. Go down, tap "Online Service".
5. Tap "Get Help" on the left
6. Tap "Payment Failed".
7. Tap "Payment Method Introduction".
8. Tap "Installment"
9. Tap "Chat with an agent now", down below.

For App Suggestions
1. Open Aliexpress App
2. Tap "Account".
3. Tap "Help Center"(Wait till it opens).
4. Tap "App Suggestions" on the middle right

See directions pictorial below.

Thank you.

Best morning to you all Great minds,
In view of this good suggestion, I think it would be better to chat up The Aliexpress Customer Service Via WhatsApp.

So below is their WhatsApp customer service Number..
Pls do well to chat them up.

This is the email address:

I started by appreciating them. Next, I explained my challenges and dropped my phone number and my item tracking number. I also gave my full name.

Lordpubg:

Benin zonal headquarter, Edo State.

Superboss:
Pls, what can we make of or say about an item which ARRIVED DESTINATION COUNTRY since 31/05/2021 and today is 21/06/21, ie 21days since it arrived destination country?
No text message nor calls from PO.
Should I keep on waiting or shud I visit them?

Send them an email. My item got to Benin PO on Wednesday last week, I've been waiting for their sms. So early this morning, 4:19am precisely, i decided to send them an email. After my explanation, I droped my phone number and the item tracking number. 8:58am this morning, I received SMS from NIPOST Benin that I should come and pick up my item.

Protein0:
visit them

He should send them an email.

Lordpubg:
Pls o, I'm having issue getting my package o. It got to p.o on Tuesday. Since then no calls, I'm loosing my patience. Share your experience, should I wait more maybe they'll call tomorrow

Truth is, NIPOST is filled with bunch of lazy staffs. Mine also arrived on Tuesday, I got tired of waiting for their SMS and decided to visit PO yesterday. I met one of the staff on registered Mail section, I explained things to him. After my explanation, he started showing me different bags of Items that arrived from Lagos last Friday that have not been sorted! In the end, his advice was that I wait for an sms before coming to PO again. It's so annoying!

OP I know its not a good experience but pls, keep your hopes high; knowing that the best is yet to come.

kemshade:
Ok, thank you.
Do you have idea of when the new tracking number will be sent and I notice the shipping mode also change to cainiao consolidated shipping which was different from the initial one

It depends! Sunyou, for instance can send new tracking number a week after shipment.

Yea, they all consolidated each other. Try Track24 to see if they've sent new track number.

kemshade:
Good morning, has anyone been given a new tracking number apart from the initial one given before here, someone told he's suppose to receive an item but it didn't com on time but he later got a mail with a new tracking number, this was tracked using postal ninja and this is what I saw.

Yea, Couriers like SunYou, Singapore Post, Yhawen Economy, Cainiao etc do give new tracking number.

#BigUps OP... Nice Write-up!

Peace of mind over SPEC anytime any day, twice on Saturday!

Truth is, most of those Specs will loose shape and if they do in short/long run, what do you do!!!

Currently using V50 V series are beast. I'm about getting the V60 now but this news have left me broken because their phones won't be receiving support within a short time now.

LG will continue rolling out Android 11 updates for selected devices as confirmed by LG’s South Korean website.

Work on the Android 12 update continues as well, however, LG has not revealed which phones are expected to receive it.

Trust me, anytime they release the list of eligible flagships, The V60 should be number one on the list. So you can still buy the V60 if you want.

That was their downfall. It seems the only product their are marketing aggressively is their TVs. They have also lost the fridge market to Samsung.

I read their great smartphone inventions on one of the cell phone news site. LG has indeed been the innovative; but their marketing team wasn't doing any good.

It never managed to capitalize on its innovations, it has created some of the most exciting phones over the years.

For example, the LG KE850 Prada was announced in December of 2006 – it was the first phone with a capacitive touchscreen and an all-touch UI. Of course, in January Apple unveiled its first iPhone, which stole the spotlight from the Prada. Today everyone points to the iPhone as the start of the touchscreen revolution, while LG’s contribution lays largely forgotten.

In mid-2007 the company unveiled the LG KU990 Viewty, the very first smartphone to record slow-motion video. It could capture 320p clips at 120fps, which makes for a 4x slowdown (below you can see a clip we shot over a decade ago). LG’s innovations often focused on the camera. It introduced the first phone that could record FullHD video, aka 1080p – that was the LG Optimus 2X from 2011.

That same year it put out one of the first phones with a dual camera too, the LG Optimus 3D. The 3D fad died off pretty quickly and makers went back to single camera setups.

This changed in 2016 when the LG G5 was introduced – it had the first useful dual camera with a 16MP main cam (75º FoV) and an 8MP ultrawide-angle camera (with a surprisingly wide 135º FoV). These days even entry-level phones equip an ultrawide lens.

Optimus 2X was the first smartphone with a dual-core processor. It even got into the Guinness book of world records.

The LG Optimus G (2012) was the first widely-available phone to feature Qualcomm’s then-new Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset. The Optimus G’s sequels branched off to become LG’s new flagship line, which includes the G5 mentioned above as well as the LG G3 – one of the first with a 1440p display[b] (not the first, but the first to be available globally)[/b]

The company was often ahead of its time with its designs as well. The LG BL40 New Chocolate (from 2009) was the first phone to have a screen with an ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio. It was ridiculed at the time for looking line a remote control, but ultra-wide displays are the norm now.

The LG G5 was the first modular Android phone.

LG made inroads with audiophiles too, many of whom adored the Quad DAC that made its debut with the LG V20.

The list goes on and on...!

I have never seen a V40 in real life.
The V series are beasts and work horse. They are like trucks of phones.

LG skipped the V40 and V50 thinQ in Canada, and alot of EU countries. LG users were literally begging them to launch those phones in their market, but LG being a weird company did not. Alot of people switched to Samsung during that period. I bought a G8 and managed it, but I knew I was missing out on the V Series which are beast compared to the g-series.

Even the V60. The phone sold out in a few weeks. I bought the last one in my city. After calling almost all phone shops. They only produced a few for markets outside the USA.

LG lacked good marketing strategies and this led to it downfall in smartphone business.
