All of you waiting for mid December orders, your items are with the Custom. You must have realized that smaller items are already at local post office while the bigger ones have no update after reaching destination country. Get ready to pay Custom duties.
How did you figure all this out? Still picked a phone from the PO last week.


My guess is those shipments aren't in Nigeria yet, had a discussion with someone who works at NIPOST where they sort items out at the airport and he said they are mandated to sort cargoes at most 48hrs after it gets to Lagos.

so maybe they just carry their remaining stock of lg g6, change case, reduce battery to cut cost ,and put big screen with notch for a 2018 look, rather than buying new processors ,,nd am sure they will be making few of this phone
They are living in denial, their competitors have moved on.

lg re trying to cut cost, using d latest sd710 will be expensive,a 2year old processor will definitely be cheaper, so maybe they just carry their remaining stock of lg g6, change case, reduce battery to cut cost ,and put big screen with notch for a 2018 look, q series is actually their midrange aspect,but am sure d price won't be midrange, maybe above 150k but by 2020 ending, u will be able to buy it for below 40k coz this phone is already underrated....


But do you know that lg used sd821 on g6 because Samsung bought all the sd835 DAT Qualcomm had in stock for their s8
Cut cost how? They could as well have gone for sd660 and keep the price below $350. They are slowly hammering the remaining nails into their coffin.

Please i need a jumia agent to assist me on this. I made an order on jumia on Friday 4/1/19 by 3am, till now that i'm writing this post, it is still showing waiting for fulfillment which i don't really get it. There was no provision for POD so i used the jumia pay and paid for the order.

I'm thinking if it is possible to cancel the order and reorder from another seller that ships very fast cause by 12th of this month, i will be leaving the location that I used to make the order.
Is it jumia global, if so you can't cancel the order.

@ everyone, it all depends on the courier service OP used. May courier service like FedEx EMS and Co will pass through custom. And you can't but pay the duty.

If you use normal shipping like Aliexpress standard shipping which runs tru 3 weeks, you won't have issue like this. The highest you could be charged at post office is 1k for phone.

So, OP, which service did you use?
There is custom charge on alixpress standard shipped phones. Pray you don't face it, picked up a phone on Friday and the guy at the counter said am so lucky and he showed me some items that had custom fees. It is REAL.

hi guys I have a budget of 50-57k. someone suggested I buy xiaomi but I don't know which to settle for another option suggested was Samsung note 5 though it's a bit old. what would you suggest.
Redmi 5 plus or redmi note 5 (3/32)

Yohh:
At least it shouldn't take months
My phone left country of origin about 4 weeks ago.
What is even confusing is that they claim these items are transported by air.
It's like this is your first time of ordering a phone on alixpress, patience is required. We used to have 11-12 delivery as far as 3yrs ago and some few times last year but it can't be like that always. Festive period has led to the slow shipping.

My advice, don't even bother to track your item every 5 mins , relax and chill. No need getting yourself worked up over what you can't control.

Seriously, we need to readdress the banning of adverts on this thread as I'm sure most ain't comfortable with this development.
Pls let's run d poll again.

Those in support of rerunning d poll should like

Those in support of permanent banning of adverts should share
What's all this? Who and who aren't comfortable?

The other thread is a good place for them to advertise their items multiple times in a day and the thread has been driving in people.

This topic has been addressed and everyone have moved on.

So express shipping doesn't attract custom fee.
Why please?
Because they don't go through alixpress shipping as they have their own shippers.

I read in an earlier page here that custom isn't suppose to charge a good unless it is worth $500 and above. How true is that?
Untrue because the new directive kicked in last year, a friend of mine was billed 8k on a note 5 last week. Just be hopeful.

Guys, I ordered my phone on Nov 23 and shipped Nov 29 which was 39 days ago. The phone has still never reached Nigeria.
What will be d implication if I open dispute now and not wait for 60 days after shipping?
You can not open the dispute now, your dispute will be thrown out before you type letter D.

You'd have to wait for the buyer's protection to be over but pretty sure the phone will be here before then. You still have 21days to go.

fibonacci2526

Is there anyway one can avoid custom fee. A friend needs to buy from AliExpress but I fear the recent issue with custom duty
There is no guaranteed way to avoid it ma, one can just be hopeful.

You can use express shipping though, it will cost you much more but you are sure to avoid custom charges.
