Is any bank's card going on AE?

Yes, but it must be a Master Card
(*) Cards I'm currently using
First Bank*
GT Bank
Zenith Bank*
Standard Chartered
etc.....
Access bank card seems to be frustrating it's customers when it comes to intl. transactions.

Goodnuel:

I go call them on Monday morning sha, Thank you.

Good day, how far....
What's the update?

akseph1:
thank you for your response. I have more than enough in the account

Calculate the item you intend to purchase based on your bank's rate and not AE's rate.

You might be surprised, the sufficient amount you claim to have might not be sufficient after all.

Which bank do you operate?

Goodnuel:
I just called but they close by 2pm on Saturday according to the machine response. I will call on Monday then.

Thank you for the help, Dco

Relax, call back on Monday by 9am. The delay for you not getting your item within the time it was scanned would be due to location proximity. Mine was scanned on Saturday and I got it by Monday 5pm.

It so happened that large amount of orders the delivery guy had to deliver was around my location, so it was easier and faster for him.

So chill, he probably couldn't get to your location hence the rescheduled update.

My only concern is, that female Commentator that commented on the NIG vs MAR match shouldn't comment on this third place match up.

Her commentary coupled with the loss to Morocco is still boiling in my head, abeg CAF should allow me watch this match with peace of mind.

KUDOS SUPER FALCONS.
NIG 2 - 0 ZAM

Goodnuel:
I don't even know the part of China. Is there a way to know this?

The package has been in "Leaving transit country"since July 5th.

Is there a way to know where the store is located in the app?

Most times AE won't tell you, my first shipment, I got to know the location of the parcel through tracking details. Note that not all tracking app/websites will give detailed information on your parcel.

Go to the store of the item you intend to buy, under store go to about, there you should see the stores information and location,..... but if you don't see it there, do a little Sherlock Holmes and search the store on Google.
Or
Better still, chat with the seller, to know the location and possibly the shipping method if the seller is the one responsible for shipping.

Goodnuel:
Is there a way to be sure of avoiding a shipping method like Singapore Post in this case.

I recently purchased something with aliexpress standard shipping, it ended up with Singapore Post 4x. I think this method is slow.

For these cases, I think Location is key.
What part of China did you purchase your product?

Cuz from previous purchases of people on here, Singapore Post seems to be tied with locations in Hongkong and some parts of China as well.

I stand to be corrected in case.

My last order, I purposely paid for "Shipping" thinking it'll guarantee the safe delivery of my item.

The shipping charge cost pass the item I order sef... On a normal good day, I for chose "Free shipping"

For the most times I've followed this thread no one has been able to crack the logistics algorithm of AliExpress when it comes to shipping, few have only tried to narrow it down, that's why you see comments like 'RB......SG is Nipost or NG.....0R is Speedaf.....

There are certain factors that determines how your order moves, factors like;
¤Location of Product Purchased
¤Shipping Method and Carriers
¤Customs Processing time
¤Human Errors
¤Unforeseen circumstances
¤etc

The problem with most people (New) on here is that they don't take their time to go back even if it's 3pages back to read, you'll most likely get the info you need. There was an argument of almost 3pages on how AliExpress chooses who handles what shipment and how those shipment reflect here in Nigeria, which fall to Nipost or Speedaf, when you choose between AliExpress Standard Shipping, Cainao Super Economy Global, Singapore Post, etc... but most don't read.

Burner ordered phone and it took 2weeks, even if he showed you all the steps he took and you followed suit, there's 50/50 probability that you may not enjoy the same satisfactory delivery he had. If you take your time go back 2pages, you'll notice people complaining about customs delay since the beginning of this month, most paid for shipping, if you then go back 10pages more, you'll see people complaining about items stuck at Nipost, some of these items were also paid for, some were free shipping.

Most of the shipping on AE is 50/50, you might pick free shipping and get fast delivery, pick paid shipping and delayed delivery, might be vice-versa.

You can also opt for DHL or FedEx for peace of mind also, that if you can meet up with the shipping charge and know that Customs is 100% sure.

The only thing I can say is, from the experience of others, avoid these shipping methods and location for peace of mind;
Signpost........(when I compile them, I'll update) I've forgotten.... If anyone has any, you can add as well.

nothingzpoil:
Meaning it's not safe to order for item(s) with "Tracking unavailable"?

I'm going to answer your question about shipping that's not in this quote. Let me address your statement above.

The question that led to my answer was based on registered and unregistered parcel. Paid shipping 85% of the time can be track when your order gets into Nigeria, on the other hand when the shipping is free tracking the item is limited, as you won't be able to track in Nigeria.

Also note that there are exceptions, you may opt for free shipping and when it gets to Nigeria a reputable couriers service (Speedaf) may pick it up and you'll be able to track the item, remember it's was free shipping.

So to answer you first question, If you've mastered the art of Patience and Forgetfulness, not being able to bother yourself of items on the way, them you can opt for "tracking unavailable" shipping. If you don't have a GF, get one whose name is Patience.

nothingzpoil:
Yes...

Zenith Bank

Sorry to say, you're mistaken
Zenith Bank Charges N494.3/$1

I made an explanation about that several pages back when I made my first order on AE...

Please, can this cause my Android stereo to always restart while my headlight is on.

Probably...... There are a number of factors that can cause this problem,
¤Wrong connection
¤Weak Battery
¤Inadequate power supply
¤Over Heating
¤etc.....
In your case it could be 1 & 3, If your Android stereo is not getting enough current, it will turn itself off. If your Android stereo shares power with other accessories that draws current (air conditioner, headlights, or Fan), the stereo may shut itself off when there is insufficient current.

I have been troubleshooting the problem. The stereo keep restarting anytime i put the light on. Play for a while and then restart several times. Help

For how long has this been happening? And was the headunit installed recently?
Was any accessories installed newly to the Android stereo (Back up camera)?

You can also watch the entire tournament on Startimes World Football. Or Starttimes App.

Item has been sourced and bought, from Apo mechanic village. If you'll be needing anything of this sort, you can check out at App. Thanks

Like this one....
Is it trackable in Nigeria

Yes it is

Fucklove:
Congratulations bro, Gives so much joy having that experience for the first time

Yeah, But bro to be sincere for that 2weeks I was steadily monitoring tracking apps and websites, you know that feel. I don't think you can preach patience to a first time online shopper they might agree but that feeling of follow up and eventually getting your package must be there. I can't tell you how many tracking websites I've bookmarked just for updates

Fucklove:
I have bought an item, a charger with "Tracking Unavailable" and still got it tracked down to Speedaf office

There may be exceptions. Based on your own experience I think it's bcoz your untracked order to handed to Speedaf that's why u were able to track it. Who handled the shipping, AESS?

I only gave info on what I gathered from previous/past experience here on AE thread. I stand to be corrected tho, just as someone said earlier, you never know with this Logistics company.

damotche:
Some one should enlighten me..
How will i know if the product I am about to order is a registered or un-registered..... thanks....

When shopping on AE, you must have come across this "Tracking Available" or "Tracking Unavailable"

When you pay for shipping with 'Tracking Available' that's a registered order as you will be able to track the item when it gets to Nigeria.

But,

When you pay for shipping with 'Tracking Unavailable' you can only track the order in it's country of origin (China) when that package gets to Nigeria, tracking ends, you can no longer track the item - therefore your order is unregistered.

News reported that they were stopped at a traffic light when a trailer speeding from behind rammed into their car with all the family members inside but luckily, nobody was hurt among them.

Oh OK, short on info, that's why I said what I said. Thank you
My bad.

Babalegba:
Does anyone know speedaf's email address. I'm trying to find out about my package but their number is not going through.

This was the mail they used in contacting me:

intl1@speedaf.com

Speedaf-Nigeria-CS@speedaf.com

The first is international mail and the second... you know the rest.

Qinglong:
Yeah, you should be able to send and withdraw smaller amounts.

Yeah, use P2P for the black market rate. Official exchange rate no help anybody abeg.

Lol alright, thanks.

Qinglong:
Really? I use Airtm and they haven't asked me for any identity verification for my transactions yet. I thought they only make it compulsory when you want to make transactions of over $1000. Not for smaller amounts like tens of dollars (which is what I deposit).

I only have NIN as well but I've been making transactions without uploading that yet.

Is that so, and I've been struggling to verify the account for over a month plus. So I can send money in and withdraw.

Chai Airtm, and they didn't tell me. Thank you very much o'jare.

You use Peer2Peer Abi? Cuz the last time I checked peer2peer seems to be using the black market rate N608/$1 while Airtm sending to your Bank account is at N420/$1 or thereabout.

Hello Guys,
Please I need the following wiring harness:

20 pin connector for Camry 2008 with steering wheel control and a 10 pin Female RCA video connector.

If any of these item is available please let me know. Pics below

Qinglong:
They just approved it yesterday after I posted here. I used that NIN card, laminated sha.

OK, thanks
One more thing which payment portal are you using for withdrawals? Airtm is giving me headache, they've refused to accept my NIN slip, even after speaking plenty grammar, cuz it's only NIN I have as a form of ID.

Qinglong:
These guys have started asking for government ID before you can withdraw, and na only NIN I get sef.

That's new, did you try using your NIN Slip? Try the NIN and see if it will work. I dey wait your update abeg.

Qinglong:
Lmao, don't mind them. The jobs are mentally stressful because of how long they want you to stay on their site.

Yea, but I found a way around it, for SEO jobs I use my laptop, that way I can open multiple tabs without the fear of reloading pages that's bin opened for long, like on phones. I can be doing YouTube jobs and at same time doing SEOs, it's easier.

But technically easy. I avoid the jobs with codes or timers tho.

Those jobs can be annoying, I've had a few "Not Satisfied" jobs, since then I've washed my hands off.

Greenscientist:
Ah no dry understand this thing self, is it because I'm just a starter?

Yes. When I started initially I avoid SEO jobs for a very long time, reasons bin that each time I opened an SEO job, the instructions where scary, I would read and get afraid cuz the employers would give a strict warning on how to go about the job.

But as time went on, I decided to give it a try and the job was very easy to do. With time you'll get use to it.

If u're having issues with any job, search YouTube for better understanding on how to go about it.

Thank God for their lives.

In other issues, I'm sure the wife has been telling her husband to drive gently/slowly, but Oga didn't listen.

See the look on her face.

Hello Everyone,
Being a first time (Online) shopper on AE, there's this excitement when you get your first package delivered and not just that but also on time. My parcel took 2weeks to get to me right at my doorstep, all thanks to Speedaf.

Break down:
Purchased item on the 20th of June
Item got shipped 21st
3 stages of Customs clearance;
China - Lagos (NG) - Abuja
Item got dispatched to the wrong Location 2nd of July
And finally 4th July I got an update and a mail about who's handling my parcel, called him and item got delivered. No extra charge involved.

Now the only thing left is to test the item, before I click 'Confirm Receipt'. Hopefully in future purchases I will enjoy fast deliveries. To everyone who assisted one way or another, thank you.

Timekeeper452:
they’ll send it to your right location, they probably sent to a wrong location within Abuja and are re addressing the issue. You’ll get your item this coming week.

OK, thank you. I'll be expecting.

Be like my Package don miss road inside ABV o.

Who has had similar issues, and what does 'Efab' mean. I tried Google Search but nothing shipment related came up.

damotche:
Please i need someone to clarify this for me..
Is it the money shown in Naira on the AliExpress app that will be deducted from my account when making payment or my bank will recalculate it...... because on the app it not show the money in dollars but in Naira.....i will be ordering laptop motherboard this week and i wan to be sure if the exact money will be deducted.....
Thanks in anticipation

Your item will be calculated based on your bank rate. Don't rely on the calculated amount by AliExpress cuz the rate AE uses differs from your bank rate.

Hi peeps
I need someone to help me out, I don't know what else to do, I need to replace the screen and the price that they are calling here is too high couple with the fact that, they don't have m20 screen, what they have is a20.

Zenith exchange rate is N494 and dollar limit is $20, maybe ur purchase has exceeded the limit.

Also take into account past transactions, if they amount to the dollar limit for last month.

Latest at least from what I know.

I just received a message from Speedaf as well about my package. From what I know, those packages that are being handled by Speedaf are being updated, that's the reason most of us are getting emails from them.

If your shipment update that's handled by Speedaf has been stuck at a particular date when tracking, be rest assured your track will be updated and you'll probably get a mail from them. At least for those that made purchases in the month of June.

My package that's been stuck at Cargo Departured for 3days has been updated once. Something I checked this morning and it was still at cargo departured has been updated once. Custom cleared and all that. This was after I got the mail from Speedaf.
