paga is #749/1$ Payday is #723/1$. Payday card is free while paga charged for creating cards

As you guys are comparing cheapest dollar card rates, also do well to include deposit fees and/other charges too, these companies play smart, they know what they're doing, it's just like Aliexpress showing you small prices on some items only for you to open them & find out they are just the lowest options available was shown just to get your attention in the first place

i got her number from someone that was called to come and get his parcel.

Oh, i see!

lagos residents gets thier parcel faster because that's where it gets to first before distribution to other states commence

Yh, that's understandable

i don't know why it takes 2 to 4 weeks to get to other parts, i wonder if they are using bicycle to distribute

That's the most annoying thing here o, lmao on using bicycle, abeg o

lagos residents are very lucky with nipost compared to other states
i tried calling someone from nipost close to my location, she picked, i asked about my parcel, she ended the call and ever since then she has refused to pick my call, i tried the number this evening it's switched off.
I would have gone there myself but I don't want to waste transport there and come back without getting my parcel, that's why i called to be sure if my parcel have arrived thier office before going there.

That's very bad of her, how did you even manage to get her number since most of their lines displayed on site are mostly switched off, like you said maybe na Lagos guys dy get their NIPOST packages fast & been called too, i expect Anambra State to be fast too cos its a well known business zone among other places too

Please how long does it take for customs to clear the order - Order was shipped with speedaf.

I don't know really, but so far so good, the longest my order has been with customs on my SpeedAF package is around 1 week, peeps here say customs clearance is unpredictable

That is because those other countries you're talking about are well organized, unlike we here. There's nothing wrong with our system, but bad eggs plenty for d system.

Yh, you're right, plenty bad eggs starting from top to bottom don corrupt the system finish

You would be surprised to know that some of these sellers don't know anything about Speedaf . It's Aliexpress that has dealings with them....Place your order and leave the rest for Ali to handle.

Oh, ok

Yes they will. After all, you're paying for the service. But such logistics company must be listed amongst the ones attached to the order.... Exception could be when a seller decides to make use of 'seller's shipping method' for the shipment. Although I haven't tried that before, you can chat any seller to elicit their response on that.

Ok

Some of them na only one default shipping method dy under them e.g i don observe say many electronics fall under 'Aliexpress Selection Standard' as their default shipping method, na to just try dy ask them if them fit ship using SpeedAF, if no, i lockup for now at least till 9ja get better small

Thank you boss, I opened the aliexpress app, went to cards, added my gotak card and $1 was deducted. And I was able to place an order.

That's the normal way, first add your card, then buy & pay, your $1 will be added back to your card

[color=#0000ff]This hasn't arrived 9ja yet "officially". So, don't stress it but wait like 5 days after expiration of buyers protection and open your dispute. NIPOST won't do sht if you go for enquiry except if you know anyone there. [/color]

Thanks for this info bro

I know nobody in NIPOST, i'm highly positive my package will reach me, one guy here posted about his package which has been on transit just like mine & we ordered thesame day from thesame store but different packages (Anker) on 22nd March, same RB****SG codes for our packages, i believe it might have been shipped on same container sha, his has arrived & was delivered to him in Lagos around 12th April while on Aliexpress it is still showing 'on transit' update, i guess mine haven't gotten to me because i'm in another state, i'm hopeful that on/before first week of May, i'll receive it, I'm highly optimistic about it

What do you think?

simce you're far from where you used as delivery address, I'll advise you to send someone to the post office to help you inquire about your parcel. it should have reached your post office by now

Not really that far, about 45mins journey, but that's not an issue though, i'll try let someone go check or travel soon & do so myself

Which of their(NIPOST) office numbers did you call that gave you a response, all the customer care line on their official website no dy go through

My order with tracking number RB********SG has been like for almost 1 Month now, No calls or mail from NIPOST, is it normal or should i wait further?

PS: I traveled for now but briefly from my main address area used on Aliexpress butcan travel back immediately to collect a package if its available, its not too far, I've written NIPOST on their official email with tracking number to make enquiries but no reply since, i reaaly need the package urgently

Anyway to know if the package is with Post office near me before traveling back & forth?

Incase of next time, can one ask seller if item can be shipped through SpeedAF in particular (even at extra cost) even if the only default shipping method is Aliexpress Selection Standard only, all my orders so far has always been SpeedAF & i thought that's how Aliexpress every order is till i entered this thread, i'm new to Aliexpress though, but now i know a bit better than b4, still learning more by the day sha

Please I saw an item on jiji for 48k but on AliExpress for 29k,if I decide to use either payday or the likes,I know I'm going to be paying more than the 29k on AliExpress,but what would be the range of the amount I'd pay. Cos I want to know if it'd be worth the hassle of waiting for two weeks plus.

Do the maths & decide what's best for you

-Here's a working example, when you click on 'Buy' it'll display the final price of the product (including shipping fees if any, discounts...) in dollars, when you multiply the dollar amount with the dollar card you're paying with, you'll know the real amount in naira that you're going to pay, compare & contrast, then know whether you're willing to buy & wait or buy from Nigeria straight, the choice is yours

-From what you said, #29k is about $63, now let's assume you're using Klasha virtual dollar card to pay, it'll be (63 × 763.20), it's around #48,082

-Also know whether you're buying from Aliexpress when the product is on sale, discounts etc, also know whether the Nigerian seller is selling new or used one, also know how long you're going to wait, is is Nipost, SpeedAf,....compare & contrast well b4 making your final decision

Good luck!

Cheers!

I filled in my address details and the continue button doesn't highlight and will not click

After filling each box, always click on next/done on your keypad, it's located at the bottom right of your keypad on your phone, keep doing that after filling each box till the last box, when you click next/done too, it'll highlight the 'Continue' button

Cheers!

What is the difference between pink and black card on klasha

No much difference from my little experience so far other than their validity period

-Black card's validity is 3yrs

-Pink card's validity is 1yr

Both are free to create, both works seamlessly on Aliexpress

My opinion: go for Pink card (No reason in particular) just a choice

Sorry brother, may I know how you made payment on Aliexpress as at now because my naira Mastercard card not going again

Naira cards no dy work again for international transactions except Stanbic bank capped at $15 Monthly spending at rate of #640/$ as at beginning of this Month (I don't know the current rate as at now)

Other alternatives you have include creating a virtual dollar card, the hot cakes now are Klasha, Gotok, payday, Cardify among others

Or

You can go to any bank and open a dorm account
