Dauchman:
I have actually noticed they do not notify you when you have items in the warehouse, which I think is very wrong and sad. You have to keep monitoring to know when your items get to the warehouse.

Anyways I have never had issues with their billing system though. And I do large amounts of shipments with them via air and ocean, most times I know what to expect as my bill even before it gets to the warehouse. Recently its been difficult because of the mad fluctuation of the naira.

My suggestion would be to go into their office at Ajao estate and ask to see someone in authority so that they understand your worries better. A lot of employees sit down and take laws into their hands at the detriment of the business. Most times management would not know except from feedback from the clients. Having tried a lot of other courier services before theirs I can authoritatively tell you it might be difficult finding a better Nigerian courier company.

That's been an issue for a long time and when I informed them about that lapse via email, they said it has been fixed. My last item arrived 2 days back and got updated today in the warehouse and no email update whatsoever.

About the billing, I guess you haven't noticed it yet because of the fact you have done a lot of business with them in the past and gotten used to their past fair prices and also, the major fluctuations in dollar too will also make you think it is still a fair price. But in my case, I have always been paying and dealing with them in USD and not with NGN. So, it was easier for me to notice the changes. As for going to their office, I don't think that is possible. I have a full time job in the island and have no time to head to Ajao. The best I can do was to call their customer care number in the US and speak with them. And after spending more than an hour on the phone with them with nothing to show for it, there really is no point bothering myself any longer. If they continue this way, with time, it will implode like it did for Shippyme.

As for finding a better Nigerian courier, you may be right there. But still, that doesn't give them the right to trod on their customers goodwill.

I naught a used HTC from us but is not recognizing any other Sim
plead help a naira lander

I think the phone previously used a sprint Sim
thanks

Hmmmm... Sprint is CDMA. Their phones can be unlocked to be used on GSM networks but not all and it is not usually easy. Try visiting the xda-developers page for your device, maybe you could get a step-by-step tutorial on how to achieve that. That was where I got for my Sprint Samsung Note 2

Okay I'll follow this thread. I'll likely go ahead with the purchase and ship through them; one thing I want to get clear is whether they will deliver it to my Nigerian address upnorth as I don't stay in Lagos

From what I know, they actually deliver items nationwide, so no problem with that.

lordkay10:
Nawa o, and I'm just thinking about shipping a refrigerator through them.
But going by my experience with another freight forwarder, I don't really think they are worse than the rest, it's just that they started well and couldn't sustain it. If I may ask which other shipping service have u used and would recommend?

Yeah, like I pointed out, they are much better than the ones I have encountered so far. I'm still looking for a replacement will let you guys know when I see one.

UPDATE!!!

After trying times without number to reach a customer agent on phone over here, I placed a call to their US office now and was connected almost instantly with a customer agent. After speaking to her, she promised to look into the matter. Will update on the outcome.

I'm finally thru with the review. You can check it out here https://www.nairaland.com/2467817/personal-review-shoptomydoor

These are the screenshots of the quote tool when I tried to get a quote using the amount and figures I saw in the reduced chargeable weight, the second screenshot was taken after they claimed they have an error and asked that I should go with the first figure.

These are the screenshots of the site showing the actual weight, blown up chargeable weight, the lower chargeable weight that is closer to the actual weight. This lower weight value only shows up when I want to pay for the shipment. B

The email I even sent was to enquire about a free shipping promo that they were presently running and to sort out an issue I was having with it. After all the delays in getting my messages replied on time, I finally opted to ship it by air and quit waiting for them, only then did a customer representative give me a call to "help" me out with the issues I was having. Granted, he was very courteous and explained things in detail, but unfortunately, it came too late.
Presently, I’m having an issue with them that started thus. During the 4th of July sales, I got me a bunch of stuff and sent them to their warehouse as usual. When the items began to arrive and populate in the warehouse, I started to notice some strange things. After the first item that came in, subsequent items coming in kept getting the wrong values assigned to them “Value Per Item” column. For instance, items that I got for $13 were being declared as $45. Another thing I noticed was that they kept messing up the names of the items as well, e.g. a couple of female shirts were named men's shirt. Now this wouldn't have been an issue in the old site because I had the option of editing those values myself. But the new site has taken away that feature and replaced it with option to upload the invoice you were issued when you purchased the item in the warehouse. I tried that option and uploaded the said invoices and yet they only updated one out of the 3 that were wrong. That was when I noticed that they only updated it because the name on the invoice tallied with what they had named the item themselves. I decided to re-upload and rename the pdf file (not the content of the file) with the names corresponding to the items ie the "men's shirt" invoice was saved as "men's shirt.pdf" but it still shows and written lady's shirt when you open the pdf file. Only then, were the items finally corrected. On the final item that came in, I had to upload the invoice 3 times and mail them over and over for them to effect the changes. And each time, the lady wrote back (after a few days) to tell me that it has been changed, whereas there was no change done when I logged in.
The last and strangest thing I noticed with my items was this. As more and items were coming in, I noticed that the chargeable weight kept on doubling. Now let me explain this for those that are a bit new to shipping. When you want to ship an item, you are usually billed in one of two ways per kg/lbs. Either using the actual weight or by the dimensional weight of the package.
The actual weight of a package is the true weight of that package. That is the weight obtained when you place it on a scale and measure its mass. So, when your package gets weighed and the result is 2lbs, that 2lbs is the actual weight. On the other hand, the dimensional weight is a bit different. The dimensional weight is obtained by multiplying the values of the length, width and height and dividing the total by 139 for international shipments. For instance, let’s say you have a package with dimension of 3x4x2, the dimensional weight becomes (3x4x2)/139 and that gives you 0.17lbs. Now, having obtained the two weights, you will be billed using the greater of the two. So, if the actual weight is greater, that is used and vice-versa. This is done because some packages can take up much space and yet weigh so little and make the shipping firms run at a loss if they charge only based on the actual weights.
Now, in my own case, I noticed that from the second item that came into the warehouse, the chargeable weight, which is listed next to the actual weight kept on increasing exponentially. In fact, for each item that was added, the chargeable weight became double + a little extra of the actual weight. This continued until all my items arrived with a total of 14.6lbs and a chargeable weight of 27.36lbs. I was livid. I mean, at first, I thought maybe that I somehow changed my profile settings and unchecked the options that tells them to strip and consolidate multiple items but when I checked, I saw that those options were still enabled. So, how come the drastic increase?

With that strange weight, my bill became $113 to ship it by air. So, I went ahead and ignored it and requested for an invoice to be prepared for me to ship the items through the $20 Ocean Promo and when I got that invoice, I got a shocker. The chargeable weight suddenly dropped to 19.55 with a consolidated box size of 19x13x11. I was like, if this was the actual consolidated package, then it wasn’t too farfetched from the actual package weight in the first place. To crosscheck, I used their online calculating tool that could be found here http://www.shoptomydoor.com/home.php?mode=get_a_quote and input the values of the box and I arrived at a lower value than what they initially wanted to charge me for the air freight. I then then did further checks and saw that not only were they trying to bill me using the exorbitant weight, they also increased their rates from the advertised rate of $3.29/pound as advertised on this page http://www.shoptomydoor.com/Nigeria.html, instead, they are charging me $4.14/pound on top of the exorbitant weight. I sent them a couple of mails to that effect, telling them how I noticed the discrepancies in the weight and the box size not reflecting the chargeable weight that I’m being billed, the rep, after some days as usual, got in touch and informed me that I should ignore the 2nd one that is closer to the real deal and pay the amount that they are billing me which is the 27lbs. She also claimed that they are experiencing an error on the page as well. That 2nd statement clicked a light bulb in my head, and I logged into the website. Lo and behold, they have removed the lower weight and substituted everything relating to weights and box sizes with null values.
I was shocked. Can they really go this low just to get my money? Is this what the company has finally resorted to? In my anger, I sent a final message and gave them a piece of my mind and promised that this is the last time I’m gonna do business with them. I can’t stand such dishonest and duplicitous business practices. I also requested that they prepare all my items for air freight so that I will pay that ridiculous amount and terminate the relationship for good.
In conclusion, Shoptomydoor was one of the best freight forwarders from Nigeria. Their prices were fucking awesome. I mean, you can’t get such prices elsewhere with that quality of service. I kept on recommending them to friends and colleagues that want to get stuff abroad. They also have zero tolerance for fraudulent activities and for more than a year I was their customer, I never heard a case where they were being investigated by the government, 9ja or US. Same can’t be said for others. But now, the business has gone to the dogs, literally. I just get apprehensive when my friends and colleagues talk about wanting to buy some item they saw on Amazon or Walmart because I’m afraid of what they might encounter when they use this service. So, for now, it’s curtains for Shoptomdoor. It was really nice knowing you. We had some great times and some not great times. But alas, we must part ways for our best interests.
I hope someone in management actually gets to read this review and do something to turn the company around cos I’d hate to see a good thing go bad.

UPDATE 1.... 21/07/15 5:49pm


After trying times without number to reach a customer agent on phone over here, I placed a call to their US office now and was connected almost instantly with a customer agent. After speaking to her, she promised to look into the matter. Will update on the outcome.

UPDATE 2.... 21/07/15 8:02pm

I called back after getting a funny email from them that says and I quote

"The chargeable weight for the items in your warehouse is 27.36lbs and shipments are billed based on the higher between the weight or the dimension of the items in the warehouse. This chargeable weight is what we have currently for your shipment. As earlier stated, there was an error and has been worked on by the unit in charge. We would have the unit in charge pull this shipment out of the ocean section so that you can have this shipped via air."

This mail in no way addressed any of the complaints that I mentioned on the phone so, I called back and spoke to a customer care agent Irene who kept going back and forth and not giving me straight answers, rather kept repeating the same thing that they sent to my mail as if that by saying it repeatedly, my issue will be solved. After spending close to 30mins with her, she transferred me to Andrew who now tried to further explain things. According to him, the packages are being stripped, measured and weighed immediately they are received and then only packaged when it was ready to be shipped. I asked him, how come you are able to generate invoice and charge a customer before the items are consolidated and ready for shipping. He then claimed that it was being done automatically and that due to that, sometimes a customer could even end up paying less than he should cos at the end of the day, they might end up with a bigger box than was quoted. I countered by saying that could also swing the other way and the customer ends up paying far more than he/she should pay. After all the back and forth, for over an hour on the phone, he still couldn't explain how come about the 19lbs that I saw, he claims that he doesn't have the records. When asked to simply go back to the system and regenerate it, he claimed that it gets automatically deleted once there are any changes in the shipment method (how convenient). When I asked him to pull up records from the warehouse, saying that the workers there must have their own records that they stored when they weighed and packed it, he claims that they were very busy and if I should need that, then I should pay a repackaging fee of $5 or so. I explained that I don't need a repackaging, but simply for them to check their already existing records. And he answered that any request to them will warrant that payment, asking me if that is what I want to do. In the end, I told him since he claims he has no records but was still able to invoice and bill me, that I will indeed pay to ship the item via air. And when I do get it, I will measure the package and using those values I got, I will check with their calculation tool and see if it corresponds with what I was charged. I wished him a pleasant day and then hung up. A perfect 1 hour wasted talking to Shoptomydoor.

UPDATE 3…. 23/07/15 12:03pm

I got a call from a customer care rep in Nigeria and she was very courteous on the phone. Even before explaining all these to her, she has done her homework by, at least, checking my previous emails and records and she promised to call THE WAREHOUSE TEAM in US not the CUSTOMER CARE TEAM to get the actual dimensions and find out for certain if I’m being properly charged. At first, I thought she meant that she will call the US customer care to tell them to get my records and I explained that I have already talked to them and they said they couldn’t get the records but she clarified that she is going to call the WAREHOUSE TEAM and get the details and not the CUSTOMER CARE. She promised to call them when they open for business over there and will get back to me right after she does that. She promised to call them when they open for business over there (3:00pm local time) and will get back to me right after she does that. It seems funny that someone here in Nigeria knows her job and what to do better than someone on the site at US. Kudos to you girl. For the fact that you did this tells me that you know your job well and if I were your boss, I would recruit more people like you and not those reading from a script like the two over at the US office.

UPDATE 4.... 23/07/15 4:38pm

The Customer Care Rep, Bisola in Nigeria just called me now to update me like she promised. According to her, she has put a call through to the US warehouse and got the actual dimensions of the consolidated package. And using that dimension, the chargeable weight was reviewed and updated to the correct values. The value of 19.5lbs was actually the correct value as was previous indicated when it was manually generated. Bisola has done a task that was supposed to be done by someone else. The job isn't even hers in the first place but she took initiative and did what needs to be done. This is the kind of service I used to get from Shoptomydoor in the past. I'm glad that I saw this to it's logical conclusion.

**********************************************************************************************************

Let me start by saying that what wrote here is but a pure and honest review based on my own personal experience which started on the 24th of June, 2014. Anyone reading this could have a much better or worse experience from mine. Now with that caveat out of the way, let me begin.
Shoptomydoor….. Hmmmm….. This is one company that had a very good start. Tremendous even. They provided a service that was very much in need when very few players in the market were keen on doing so. Plus, their service was like no other Nigerian company that I could think of. I mean, great service delivery coupled with great performance. I remember when I first started using them, they were so efficient in their service delivery, for instance, you get fast replies to emails (between 1 – 2 hours tops), give you calls to sort out your issues, issue refunds when they overcharge you in error. Yes, you read that right, they issue refunds and in my own case, the refund was discounted from my next shipping.
But all good things come to an end, they say. And in the case of Shoptomydoor, The Nigerian Syndrome has crept in and taken over a once honest business that can be compared with international franchises of the likes of UPS, Fedex, and DHL. But, I’m getting ahead of myself, let me recount my experience from the beginning.
Sometime in early 2014, I was looking for a way to buy stuff abroad and ship to Nigeria at a reduced cost. My search was prompted by the fact that I was informed that Amazon accepts Nigerian Cards plus the fact tha Paypal re-entered Nigeria and hence, eBay was opened up again to Nigerians. In my research, I got to know and understand what Freight Forwarders are and how they work. Cos they afforded a lot of opportunities to Nigerians wishing to shop abroad without having to travel out to do so. I did some research on freight forwarders and came up many of such that ship to Nigeria like Shippyme, Bongo, MyUS, Americanshipper, Shoptomydoor, etc, and 2 of them came highly recommended as at then. One was Shippyme and the other was Shoptomydoor.
On further research, the results I got on Shippyme wasn't encouraging. Lots of complaints going on and on about loss of items, slow customer service response to issues, theft, loss of customer confidence, etc. I kinda drew a big X on Shippyme when I read about items lost and stolen items by Shippyme staff. Although, to be fair to Shippyme, the culprits were found, sacked and handed over to the authorities. But unfortunately, the damage has been done. Shippyme never recovered from that and it ended up re-branding to Zaposta in the hope of starting afresh. But that is a story for another day.
On the other hand, Shoptomydoor at first glance was woeful. I mean, the website looked tardy and totally unprofessional. You think I’m joking, take a look and see for yourself here http://web.archive.org/web/20140729192156/http://www.shoptomydoor.com/? Anyone visiting the site for the first time will have lots of doubts of using their services. But I decided to look beyond the cover and flip a few pages before writing them off totally. So, I went ahead and registered, obtained my warehouse address and unit number. So now, I'm good to go and ready to buy me a few things.

So, I started off small. I purchased a few items from Old Navy and sent them to the warehouse. And did I forget to tell you that their service was great? It was topnotch. I mean, from the moment you get the email from UPS/FEDEX/USPS that your goods have been delivered to Shoptomydoor’s warehouse, in 24hrs max, Shoptomydoor will send you an email notifying you about it. When you log in, you can view your items with the name, package size and weight displayed correctly. The names were written properly helping identify which item is which. This is especially helpful when you have multiple shipments containing similar items coming in from different stores. You can even edit the values of your goods in Dollars or in Naira so that they can charge you the accurate customs duty you are supposed to pay. Every single thing was transparent, not a case of where UPS will declare your package to be one size and weight and they will declare something different. To cut it short, there was no mago mago or wuru wuru or ojoro there.
I had a couple of questions to ask Shoptomydoor before paying to have my items shipped to me, so I fired off an email to them and, voila they replied me within reasonable time. I was impressed. Subsequent emails were ALWAYS replied within reasonable time again and again. And by reasonable time, I mean within 2-3 hours tops. So, with all my fears and doubts been assuaged, I went ahead and paid to have my items shipped to me. The invoice was instantly processed and they kept updating me about the status of the items like when it departed for Nigeria, when it arrived Nigeria, when it was going thru customs, when they received it in their Nigerian warehouse, when they sent it to the courier to deliver to me and tracking number of the courier, etc. As you can see, the service was just impeccable.
Altogether, it took 10 business days for the items to arrive at my doorstep just like they promised. I was so happy that despite the mega mistakes I made by ordering wrong sizes of clothes in my first shipment (JJC for shopping online then), I still went ahead and ordered and sent more items to their warehouse again and again. And the level of service remained the same.
In all, I think I have shipped packages via them, at least, 30 times since then. And then, all my shipments have been delivered safely to my house. The only exception was sometime last year when the Shippers Council or Union went on strike over the increase in tax or something being levied them and during that time, I got an email from them telling me that my shipment was being delayed because of it. I also got another email notifying me that the issue with the government has been settled but the shipment will still be delayed due to backlog of goods.
I would have loved to end this in good taste and say many more nice things about this company and the quality of services they offer, but alas, this isn't a fairy tale. This is the real world. And here in 9ja we have something known as The Nigerian Syndrome. It is a syndrome that affects many Nigerian businesses today. It works like this, a business will start off well, offer great services for your buck, everyone is happy. After a few years, when the business have built up a veritable client base and become a household name, they then rest on their oars and let things degenerate, believing that their past records will sustain them no matter how low the quality of their service falls. This is very common and can be seen with some businesses like Jumia, Konga, etc, to mention but a few. Unfortunately, this syndrome has steadily crept up and taken over Shoptomydoor.
Sometime ago, Shoptomydoor expanded their business to Ghana and relocated to a bigger warehouse from Darwin Drive to Westbrae still in Houston to accommodate the expansion. Their website was redesigned and some "features" added. With this expansion came the first signs of the syndrome creeping in. The first sign was No more email updates when items are received in your warehouse. In my case, I waited 1, 2, 4 days and still no updates that an item has arrived. I mean, I can clearly see the item siting in the warehouse when I login, but they never informed me that it is there. I took up the matter with them by sending an email and that was when I saw more signs of same problem. It took them DAYS to reply. DAYS not hours. Ok, I thought that could be a fluke. I replied the email and the next reply still took days to receive.

Hello Henrywalker2003,
Have you sent us an email on the issues you are having? If not provide us with your order number to enable us look into it.
Also note that we tackle issues efficiently via contact@shoptomydoor.com. We'll advise that you send all queries to contact@shoptomydoor.com.

Thank you

Really Emails that take you guys more than 2 days to reply? If you guys were as good as you were, you wouldn't be asking me to send emails again giving the fact that I have been bombarding you guys with mails, tweets and posts on facebook. And guess what, I did it all using the same username that I use here on Nairaland. If you had made that connection, you wouldn't be asking me to send emails again.

latitidejavu:
I suspect that all these positive reviews are from shoptomydoor themselves. This service is TERRIBLE. Patronize them at your own risk. If you are good in lottery then you may win a good service. Alternatively prepare to have your business ruined by scamtomydoor. I used them thrice and all three times was a mess. I spent almost 5000a naira on calls to their customer care. The employees have no attachment to the company, they are carefree and uninformed about their basic operations. I hate bad businesses.

I want to believe that they could still sort themselves out because I personally have been using them for over a year and I know how much I used to sing their praises back then. But presently, their services are just appalling. They now have implemented a lot of shady and duplicitous practices that are aimed at getting more money out of the customer for the service they render. This is far from the Shoptomydoor that I used to know. Can't believe they could sink so low.

By the way, @Latitidejavu, which one are you using now? I'm jumping ship and need one that can offer reliable shipping service at attractive rates.

henryskywalker2003:
Shoptomydoor..... Hmmmm.... I'm writing a review of the company and will post it before the end of the day.

It seems I'll delay the review of the business entity known as Shoptomydoor for now. This is because of a pending issue that I currently have with them that is yet to be resolved. I plan to include it in the review pending when it is either solved or I see it to it's logical conclusion.

Bear with me for now, cos I wouldn't want to give a review that is biased and without giving them an opportunity to redeem their image.

Leopantro:
May my ears never hear of my death. Do what again? You need to see the look on my father when he talks about the war. Crates of weapons supplied only to be opened to see lead pipes. Going to the front line with counted bullets and deficient guns. People dying from hunger, every sunday, everyone in the family will line up to have a link of salt because supply lines have been destroyed.

There is a saying, better to die standing than to live kneeling. However, actualization of such a state is not possible now. You talk of oil in some states. Where are the refineries to work on the oil? In the states that betrayed us. Forget rivers, balyesa and cross rivers, they would not participate.
Another thing, how many intellectuals do we have that are actually committed to develop the land compared to the yoruba and hausas, and where are they located? Not in the east but in those regions you depise. We believe in ME, ME, ME not us, US.

It is said that history repeats itself. If we can't learn from the war and establish a planned frame work projecting 20 to 30 Years into future, if you are making such statements that those that fought in the war will gladly fight again, then the dream is as good as dead.
All I see is a euphoria of a time that once was, not a future to strive for.

My brother thank you for reminding some things I have forgotten, especially the part of queueing up to receive salt from Red Cross. My mum told me stories of how folks ate lizards as if they were eating suya. It got to a point that they couldn't even see lizards sef to eat. Malnourished children everywhere dying of kwashiokor daily. Like I said before, only those who never experienced it would want to start it again.

People and lies, this is a very ancient pic na. How u come dig am up come attach one fake story to it na. Haba

You are an Igbo man? Where do you know Igbo land is? You think knowing Enugu telephone code and the name of a few states makes you Igbo? There you are more concerned about how a tribe of over 35 million people should stay in a failed white mans experiment called Nigeria. If you are really Igbo, why are you not advocating for your own country? You need the Hausas and Yorubas to survive? We survived before opportunistic White men came to foist an illegal identity they called "Nigerian" on us but it is now, in this digital age that we can't survive. I may not speak for every Igbo man but I'm quite confident that I speak for the vast majority who are wise enough to know that the illegal entity called Nigeria is an unworkable union. It has not worked in 55 years and it sure as hell will not work tomorrow. Don't worry, when we Igbos get Biafra, Yorubas such as your self will learn a thing or two about self determination, sovereignty and free choice.

Seems like English is a difficult lingua for you to grasp so let me bring it down to our native dialect.

Only dumbass fools think about war when issue of secession is discussed. The only factor for secession is very plentiful on the ground in Nigeria.

Lol. I guess the Chechnians, Slovaks, Yugoslavs, Sudanese, Koreans, etc were all dumbass fools when they went to war. Wiseass

Duru1:
You should have kept quiet. I guess you are the spokesperson or representative of Nigeria.

Lol. awwww... You are so cute when you talk so cluelessly bro. Anyway, I am not representing anyone. I speak for myself and myself only.

pazienza:
Igbos who fought for Biafra would gladly do so again. My dad fought in the war, likewise my uncles and they remain pro Biafran. The young Igbos didn't experience Biafra, but we see the effect of Biafra all around us, We have paid the price of Biafra loss,a snake doesn't give birth to any short thing.


If you think you are going to scare Biafrans with those pics, then you must be barking at the wrong tree. I'd advice you show those pics to your people threatening to repeat such on Igboland again, seeing as they had never experienced such in their history, those pics only fuel the desire of Biafrans to ensure that the labours of our Heroes past be not in vain.

You are simply trying to extinguish a fire with petrol.

Hmmm... Your dad fought in that war you say? Hahahahaha. Please, if your dad and uncles really participated in that war, they would only have done so as kids or teens at best. None of those participants alive today will like to go back to war, hell even the one that lead them to war back then regretted it. And u are here thinking that war is as simple as all those movies you watch ba? They will give you a badass automatic rifle and you rush in, guns blazing, downing all your enemies with their own bullets always missing their targets while urs keep hitting?

Well, keep taking that good quality stuff you are on and kudos to your supplier.

I am in Igbo land, I can afford to speak for my tribe and my people around me

Ok. But I was born there, I grew up there, I schooled there. For close to 3 decades, I was part and parcel of that place. Despite leaving there to live in another part of the country, I still fly the Igbo flag. I'm from Anambra, but was born and brought up in Enugu, I still visit Enugu even more than I visit my own state Anambra, it's my birth place. A place I will always call home, despite not being from there, that's why I am 042 for life. But all through my time in the east, NO ONE and I repeat NO ONE can stand up and say he or she speaks for the entire Igbo tribe unless he/she was FIRST GIVEN THAT MANDATE and last I checked no one has that mandate, even if we are to give that mandate, it wouldn't be to a bunch of Indomie Generation miscreants that still sag their pants and see the likes of Whizkid and Davido as there role models. So, my dear young man. Speak your mind if you must, but only speak for yourself, cos I bet you don't even speak for your own immediate family, let alone an entire race.

Shoptomydoor..... Hmmmm.... I'm writing a review of the company and will post it before the end of the day.

I said in another thread that nobody fights a war for the fun of it. Every war has on one side, people who are fighting to be free, and on the other side, people who fighting to enslave them. I'm an Igbo man, I decide for myself if I am Nigerian or not and if I say I am not Nigerian, I should be allowed to go in peace. Right now, there is a peaceful agitation for a referendum to decide the fate of Nigeria. Should the Nigerian state decide not to grant my people their right of freedom then we will be left with no choice than take up arms against the Nigerian state to effect our freedom. Either way, this white mans contraption called Nigeria must come to an end.

If you want to part ways from Nigeria, then by all means do. But speak only for yourself, last I checked, no one made u our spokesman or representative.

pazienza:
It's really pathetic from parasitic Nigerias, showing us these Images. They forgot that we were the ones that experienced it, and are no longer afraid of it.

First Biafran war was fought in Biafraland while peeps were busy eating Gbegiri and tuwo in Odua-Arewanistan. Does the average Yoruba man know the meaning of war, have they ever withstood such hardship as shown in these pictures and survived to tell the story? Do you for any reason think that when you stand in the way of Biafrans again, that the war will be fought only in Biafraland while you are allowed to enjoy your tuwo and Gbegiri? You need to think twice.

Those pics should be for Arewa-Odua people shouting about war against Biafra, Biafra had withstood those hardship before and can easily do it a second time, but can the Odua-Arewa withstand such? Ask yourself that and stop threatening yourselves with terror, cos you don't know the meaning of terror and pains, Biafrans do.

Point of correction, you didn't experience it. You weren't even born then. If you were, you will be the last person trying to go through that again.

So you know that Scotland signed a treaty to be part of the UK? What treaty did I as an Igbo man sign to part of Nigeria? That's why Nigeria is a fraud. The important thing here is secession, if I don't want to be with you then you have no business being with me. It will be up to Nigeria to let us go peacefully or we fight our way out. Igbos are not afraid of violent secession, we have done that before. The difference if we do it again is that this time, there will be British War ships to stop food and arms coming in and no Russia to supply limitless ammunition to Nigeria. It will be a level playing field unlike the last time and it will be a fight to the finish.

Seriously, I don't know if you are being delusional or that you have actually being telling yourself these lies so often that you now take it as the truth. Please, while we are on the issue of signing a treaty, please which one did Bosnia, Slovakia, Herzegovina, etc signed before becoming part of Yugoslavia. Now, go and ask the Bosnians how far with their Bosnian War that lasted almost 4 years. Or the rest of the Yugoslav Wars which include the Croatian War (1991-95), Kosovo War (1998-99), etc. The adage that says look before you leap can be aptly applied here. When you finally get this war you are agitating for, trust me, we will all be losers.

A used Lg G3 for outright Swap while I balance ..

Ok. I don't have any at the moment, but I think you can get one for outright buy online on eBay or swappa.

Jumia, Konga, Kaymu, etc. They are all the same. They will start off well, gain and build up good, solid rep and goodwill from customers. When they have a large clientele and become a household name, they will then rest on their oars, believing that no matter what they do now, their rep will keep the customers coming. Anyway, God knows that I can't buy some certain items here in Nigeria again, especially phones and other electronic gadgets. I now prefer to purchase my stuff from Amazon, Ebay, BestBuy, Walmart, etc. When it comes to phones especially, to avoid "Had I known", I usually stick with branded phones that I can unlock and use (AT&T is my preferred telco in US cos their unlock policy is unmatched by none). Note, even buying from these sites mentioned still has their risks too and one can get a defective product shipped to him/her. The difference here is that if that rare case do occur, you can actually log a complaint and the seller won't send you on a merry go round or keep telling you stories for weeks on end.

But unfortunately, a lot of us have gotten so used to the Chinese OEMs that full market and will never dream of buying a phone worth more than 30k. If you are such a person, and you have the Patience of Job, then you can simply wait for any big holiday in the US, when they usually hold massive sales, and buy phones and gadgets at rock bottom prices.

Any??

What exactly do u want? A new LG G3 for outright buy or swap, or a used G3 for the same. You are not being very clear and the two guys derailing your post aren't helping either.

No. 1 is so not true. That doesn't mean that u are addicted to ur phone, rather it is more of always trying to get an argument settled once and for all via a reputable source.

For those wanting to buy a PayPal account, I will advise you not to. The risks are too much, it can be blocked, you can't trust that the person selling it to you won't login later and siphon ur funds, the ip could be blacklisted later and u lose ur account and funds, etc. In fact, too many things can go wrong. Instead, why not just open one yourself. There are lots of articles online detailing the steps. Besides, in that way, you can be sure that the account won't be compromised in the future and if you are very careful, it won't be blocked either. I opened mine myself and it is currently 80% verified. Cos me, I no wan hear story later.
