I've collected two of my packages from NIPOST, one last week, the other one was few days ago, the woman that called me on phone to come collect my package was very friendly, i asked her why things had to take that long to get to owners, her response made me understand that once the head is not right, body no go dy alright, she said she likes it when people come to get their packages ASAP but the main problem they have is from the top offices, say na when they send to them being the final line, them dy call owners immediately, very nice woman indeed, 9ja sha, e go better

Hello everyone I am about to make my first order on AliExpress and would like to welcome ideas on what virtual card is best to use.
Also like to know how to make my orders arrive Nigeria in less than a month. Thanks in advance, appreciate you guys - you're doing a wonderful job.
Your best bet is Stanbic IBTC bank as the only local bank naira card working with a rate of #640/$ capped at $15 monthly spending

Or you go to bank, open a dorm account, get dollar at black market rate, go back to bank to fund it + card fee & all + stress

Or you create a virtusl dollar card, fund & shop from the comfort of your home

Your best bets so far are Klasha, Gotok(Crypto knowledge is needed for the cheapest funding rate)


I see Klasha as best option for newbies & even pros
-No virtual dollar card fee
-No funding fee
-No hidden charges
-Good Customer care services
-Minimum top up of $5
-Can spend your whole dollar to $0,no limits
-Flat rate of #763.20/$
- Welcome bonus of #1000 if you use a referral link

I'll provide a refferal link below, if you need other help, quote me

https://s.klasha.com/Uoiu



As for your orders making it before 1 month, this depends on a lot of factors, customs, logistics company used...

In your best interest for a start, go for shipping methods stating 'Aliexpress Standard Shipping' OR products labelled 'Choice' you stand a great chance of your items being shipped under SpeedAF mostly, go with this info for a start, goodluck!

Bro that's their policy, i once asked them, why don't i just transfer the money from my account to my dollar account instead of going to a branch, they said it's their Policy, i guess you must come with physical naira to make the exchange there with the people in charge of that one.

Again, i own a dollar card with them, a physical gold dollar card, all you have to do to get it is get two reference and apply for it, download the form, your two reference, should put their full details and sign, you upload it back and finish up the registration. All registration is done in their app.

You then apply for the card, after that it will be sent to your home address, you can use the money in side to pay for any local POS or ATM, u recently received money in it from Payoneer.

They don't charge you a dime for any transactions
Thanks for the explanation, now the real question
-What is their Monthly spend limit?
-What is their exchange rate?

I know Stanbic IBTC rate is #640/$ at $15 Monthly spending

What's Standard Chartered own?

I really don't know why a lot of you don't know about standard Chartered Bank USD card!
It's totally free of charge, they will ship it to you within 2weeks to your house/home address through fedex

This is their dollar rate.

I attached it to this post.

But I guess the issue here is the bank branch is limited to certain locations in nigeria

Because you have to go deposit the money in to your dollar account in any of their branch, they will collect your naira and convert it to dollar and deopist it to your Dom account, they don't charge you shi shi for anything, let me tell you the truth every other bank dom account na bullshit for nigeria here. If you have opportunity to use standard Chartered Bank, use them you no go regret am. Everything is free no charges, no annual charges.
Dollar card is different from Dorm account

What exactly do the bank offer you, free dollar card with no card maintenance or free dorm account with no annual charges?

You mean they sell $1 for #555 meaning if i enter the bank with #55,500 naira cash, $100 value will be deposited to my dorm/dollar account without me using physical dollar?

That's too good to be true for this 9ja wy we dy, lastly, if over the counter naira cash value is what's to be used to credit your dollar account, why not take the equivalent of the money from your naira account, why go to the bank with thesame physical naira?

Every items I've bought from the Choice so far has been shipped through speedaf and they ship almost instantly. Seems aliexpress already have those listed items in their warehouses assembled for instant dispatch once payment have been made.
Yh, i noticed thesame but limitations dy on the options of most goods they sell, for e.g you may want to buy an item with options of different colour, pouch, more batteries but it won't be available, they choose only the cheapest option most times

That aside, both NG******R & NG*******E are shipped with SpeedAF but one that ends with 'E' is self pick up but 'R' is home delivery, do 'Choice' deliver only for home or both home & pick up?

The blame for all the aggravations rest squarely on Nigerians, extremely greedy people.When the government were supplying the banks with dollars, people were doing roundtripping basically getting the dollars at official rate and selling at black market rate but then the fx dried up because most of the oil was being stolen so CBN ceased supplying the banks and we are now where we are.
I believe Nigeria is the worlds largest crime scene and the fools around don't even realize. There is no earthly reason why the dollar should be 750 to one,one naira used to be one dollar and fifty cents. The dollar has been having a tough time lately but not in Nigeria.
It's really sad & uncalled for but in all man must survive sha

That is what made me abandon my UBA prepaid dollar card-- Going up and down looking for aboki to buy dollar from and then heading back to bank to queue up for deposit. Upon all that, you still deduct 19 usd from my account for maintenance fee. It's not worth the stress!
It's really sad what we pass through to make money & to spend our money in peace

This 'Choice' tag on some products on Aliexpress with free shipping, does it always mean your order on it will ship using only NG******R via door step delivery or it can be anything (NIPOST) ?

Also do they have any special discount on certain periods of the year, i'm always seeing 3 items for $8.99 tagged choice whenever i open my Aliexpress app on its front page, its been like that since March

The dollar card is physical, you buy dollars from aboki and deposit in the account then GTB will deduct their own $10. You would also need to go with your nin identity card as well.The whole process takes little time.Note that you cannot transfer dollars to the account from another account but you can do that with a dorm account.
So funding of dorm account follow thesame process of going forth & back from aboki to bank right rather than funding from your naija account at official rate or something a bit higher?

All these stress just to get a card i'll still have to use my leg waka go aboki, waka go back bank to deposit, waste time, energy...it'll only be worth the stress if you can be allowed to fund from your naija account at even a rate a bit greater than official rate but less than black market, say like #500 - #600/$, i think fintechs remains the better & easier alternatives

[color=#0000ff]From someone that did the dollar card Only option recently, she was charged in $10 cuz she must provide it before issuance, not in Naira as before.
You fund your card yourself and funds can't be transferred unlike Dom account.
You must buy $ from off-bank source to fund your account, which means, nothing like official rate.
You'll get physical Dollar card. [/color]
Thanks for the clarification bro, if that's the case, i think both the dollar card & dorm account are not worth the stress, fintechs like Klasha, Gotok...still remains the better alternatives

GTB have two distinct fx accounts,the dorm and the GTB dollar card. You pay at least$15 per annum for the dorm account and you need two referees who are current account holders.
The second is the GTB dollar card, for that you only need a savings account,$10 ,bvn and passport photo.
If i open a GT dollar card since i only need my savings account, bvn & passport photograph, no referees of current account holder, now about the $10, will it be charged from my account using official rate or black market rate, also the funding, is it from my savings account to the dollar card at official rate or black market rate

Or do i still need to go to Aboki, buy dollars in cash & take to them on bank physically to fund the dollar card, will the dollar card be given to me physically or is it virtual?
