Wow this is nice

We should keep doing this and also talk to them about speedaf. En masse

Shimmaa:
Okay


What advice do you have for someone who wants to be buying in bulk and sell in retail here in Nigeria

Aliexpress is not the best for bulk buying, expecially of big and expensive things like phones.

I don't know where retailers in Nigeria get theirs but you can check Alibaba and 1688.
Bear in mind it's not as straight foward as Aliexpress. You'll have to employ agents for this and that.

Shimmaa:
Pls whats the exchange rate for GTbank and which shipper is the fastest on the platform.

Don't know exactly, the exchange rate is not static, can change within minutes

Aliexpress Cainio(Speedaf) is the fastest (Not Cainio standard for special goods)
Most times it is shown as Aliexpress standard shipping for sellers on the Mainland
But since it is a phone you're buying, AESS will most likely be SingPost which can take forever

Shimmaa:
Good day guys

Pls, this will be my 1st time buying off aliexpress,
I want to purchase Samsung note 10+ with charger from a seller but I have no idea how to purchase from aliexpress.

What's the current official exchange rate and how long will it take to get to me.

Another thing I need to know, pls put me through..

Exchange rate depends on your bank.
How long it'll take depends on the shipping method used.

Most banks have a limit of $100 dollars, Access bank has a limit of $300
Since the phone is 495, you'll have to contact the seller to split payment so that you can pay with multiple cards or use a service like barter(They use a much higher rate though - around 570)

Ask the seller to mark it as Gift and devalue it

we can, aliexpress customer care is very active, we just need to do it in mass, they will definitely listen, speedaf is the way to go now, just that speedaf don't ship anything battery for now and they are only in china.
if we keep the pressure, they can always find a way to commit to speedaf and help make the company take on more responsibilty

I've not been able to get past the bot lately.
How can I get past the bot to chat with a customer care agent

annass227:
Good morning.
Please what are the possibilities of receiving a package(Order From Aliexpress) here in Nigeria, if shipped from China by Sea.

The product is Lithium ion phosphate battery of about 5kg.

I guess it will take more than 100days if I will ever receive it.

Any One with experience on receiving parcel sent by Sea? Please Share with Us. Thank you.

Check more options and see if there's anyone with tracking

PoorUgly:
Has anyone experienced this wickedness of recent?

I went to NIPOST on 4Th January,2022 to pick up my package only to notice it was very light, cut open and sealed back with cellotape. On opening it right there in front of their staff ,lo and behold all the contents was stolen.

It was meant to contain a tablet and it's accessories.

I have been in shock since. Why are we so wicked in the country?

It got stuck in Lagos for almost 2months before I complained to AliExpress customer service which alerted the seller to force it's delivery. Only for them to deliver empty package.

I normally receive my orders through Speedaf. I don't know why AliExpress sent this one through NIPOST, which I know is very unreliable, inefficient and too slow.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh
This is so painful and annoying

Is there no way to mass complain to Aliexpress to make all "Aliexpress Standard Shipping" Speedaf

Open dispute and submit your evidences and hope for a good judgement

fibonacci2526:
LOL, you played yourself tbh. These people are also business people and would not give out their goods just like that. You go manage tempered glass or case like that

Tempered glass or case? Do they know the phone I'm using

Meister:
When they send you the nonsense they'll send to you come and share it with us here abeg

It's coming by Nipost I might not even stress myself for it

fibonacci2526:
Mystery box for $2? Honestly what do you think would be in the box?

I don't know...
Anything

Reech:
This?

Yes exactly

TruthUntold:
Didn't you notice that most of the reviews were made by anonymous buyers?

Wasn't paying attention to that. Dem don chop my $2 be that

Adegbem01:
please which app or site do you use in tracking

[url]postal.ninja[/url]

lilachiever:
Lol. I bet it was a perfect 5 star.


Those are fake reviews all of which were done on same day, and that's impossible

Wow, that's terrible. Now reviews cannot be completely trusted. sigh

ceaser:
I don't know why someone will narrate his experience of getting a phone from AE in Nigeria and not mention "if he paid duty or not" or "if he was charged NIpOST delivery fees or not" as part of his narration. That is like telling someone you were stopped at a roadblock mounted by Nigerian Police and not mention if you were asked to roger them or not. Your story no get head or tail; which kain story is that!

Tell us if you paid duty or not, or if NIPOST charged you. And no forget to mention the amount too.

I was charged NGN500 Handling fees by NIPOST of which I got a receipt.
The package clearly had "Android Phone" written on it. Though I had clearly instructed the seller to declare it as gift and devalue it. He marked it as Android Phone and the value $40. Which kain Android phone dem dey sell $40 abeg

The Nipost workers though were trying so hard to get money from me shaa, saying we should celebrate because my phone has landed, asking for new year gift and stuff. I sha gave them NGN300 make dem hold body

All in all I gave them NGN800 (500 compulsory and official, then 300 because they begged)

Below is my tracking info for those interested

Gptech:
Should be antenna issue. Try to open up the phone and check the antenna wire.

Wow, I'm not a technician. Won't even know the antenna if I see it
Guess it's to take it to a repair shop then

toyad24:
Congratz bro,,, please when exactly did your item arrive destination country?

Gptech:

Sometime in October last year

Reech:

XploraBen:
I want to order a 64GB OTG flash drive from Aliexpress for the first time...

What are the buying and delivery safety tips I must know?

Use AliExpress standard shipping.
Check reviews first, if you're satisfied then order.

alaricsaltzman:
Me sef wan buy this phone.

So e mean say i gats get patience be that? �

Everyone doesn't get the same experience with Singpost. You can get it earlier or later or never

lilachiever:
Don't. It's a scam

Ooops too late. But they have soo many good reviews.

My Redmi 7 all of a sudden started having mobile network issues.
It can't connect to 4G anymore(Using a 4G sim and in a 4G area, If I put same sim card in another device it connects 4G without stress). Even the 3G it connects to is very very terrible
Also, the network bar goes off every now and then. Sometimes self, when I have bars, my number would not be reachable. I've tried many different sim cards and they all experience the same problem when in my Redmi 7.

I've rebooted, formatted and even flashed EU ROM (from global ROM) all to avail.
Right now the only way for me to browse is by WiFi.
Anyone ever experienced something like this?

Ray1251:
Will they reattempt to deliver it? ,I never asked for reschedule, infact I was not contacted ,tried the number there na Hausa man pick, first time experienceing this with speedaf

It's normal for them. They have been doing this for most of my packages. They'll contact you soon for delivery or pickup
