OK ok, I bought some stuffs from Amazon last Friday, when I got the charge on sunday they charged lesser, so I had 10k extra. I was elated cos that literally translated to an exchange rate of N187.

I've confirmed from a friend that he experienced same so i thought good times are here again, dollar don fall niyen.

Tuesday afternoon, na so dem send the money back come deduct the original cost at N207. I don quickly arrange something with that extra 10k wey remain before so my account don enter minus.

If I wan do am for the yeye bank, I fit forget the account cos I misplaced my wallet as well the ATM card later yesterday.

You dey owe 10k oooo

When I came on board, I read several post discrediting Chinese phones. The Star W450 phone came with frozen screen and the heat emitting from the battery compartment was able to roast ones palm, yet I didn't hesitate, I did my research, brought in the THL, Jiake, Jiayu, Xiaomi and Elephone, Doogee

There are original laptops in China. Apple, Dell, HP, Sony Computers all have retail stores in China where you can get 100% genuine laptops. I can supply you with links of such

That Star phone dealt with me. Still have one covered in dust in my museum.


The link you were talking about is it Aliexpress stores? Thanks

If it's Aliexpress no need for that

This yeye Aliexpress seller just made me lose money. I made an order and GTB charged me N208 per dollar. The olodo seller decided not to ship. Transaction was automatically cancelled after some days and GTB refunded me @ the rate of N199.5 per dollar. I just lost more than N8 per dollar because the olodo Chinese decided not to ship even when he confirmed that he will

gtbank charged 209 naira to a $ this morning, any cheaper option?

eph12:
This is the cheapest have heard so far and coming from GTB is why I don't think it's true. Access used to be one of the cheapest but they exchanged for 215 this morning. But if you say it's true then it's ok.

kendraloops:
Enterprise bank charged #229 last week and #208 this week. It fluctuates.

purplecircle:
Really This is the cheapest.. trying to get a Zenith Card once I do with Let the house know if deir rate is better. but we should all also know that the best days to make purchases are mon-wed Dollar rate is usually fair once its Thur - Sunday ii is ridiculously high.

Thanks for the updates. Looks like the exchange rate is very unstable @ the moment, its more like a 'try your luck' sort of a thing.

More users are encouraged to drop their findings to make prospective importers have an idea of what to expect.

Thanks y'all

I bought a shoe of $65 from aliexpress which was delivered to kizito address in china, I called him and told him to send the shoe to Nigeria. Two days later I received an sms to come pick up my package, I called one of the boys working for his agent to check what inside my package, he told me two men shoes, I was suprised as I only bought one female shoe so I called kizito to complain about this but he claimed he sent the shoe and he was sure of it but his agent kept telling me that he only saw two men shoes in my package.
This won't be the first time of them loosing my goods.
I asked for a full refund but they both started playing games with me, kizito will ask me to call his agent for my refund and his agent also will ask me to call kizito for my refund.
I got fed up with their game and called kizito this morning but instead of him to apologize or plead with me, he told me bluntly that he isn't going to pay me any refund, I was even trying to tell him if he doesn't have money now he should pay me later but he hung up the call and wouldn't even pick my calls anymore.t

I now understand why you took the position you did. I just hope kizito or his agent sees this and do the needful because one dissatisfied customer can make one lose 10 or more prospective customers.

Peace

blym4real:
stay away from kizito logistic. he is fraudulent

More info please

terrymason:
Hello every 1! Pls btw access visa card and eco master card, wch 1 is advisable to shop with.. Cux I know dollars rate varies with different bank.. Am paying tomoro for sometin, don't know d card dat would be cheaper

Why not try to use both cards to pay for cheap product, say $1 item, to find out which has a lower rate? Hard to know the rate as it fluctuates with time.

Anybody that has used both recently is also free to drop his finding. Info is free here

herboshedhe:
As@this morning,#220 on access visa card

dav8id:
#220 today access bank

You guys just dashed my hopes of going to the "dependable" Access Bank with lowest exchange rate.

Importing go enter Pending Mode now

honTim:
I checked it and its Nigeria and my right home address. I spoke to the seller but the seller even quoted my correct address. insisting that he sent it to the right address. He is of the opinion that I should be patient that it will get to me. I have 44 days left of buyer's protection. wat do u advice?

Ok. Wait it out till you have like 20 days left. Just let him know that the track details is showing destination country as Armenia

honTim:
mogbe oooo this Chinese people don kill me. why would they send my order to Armenia when am in Nigeria? pls wat do u advice I do?

Just go back and check your shipping address to confirm that you chose Nigeria as your country when you ordered

You may be surprised to see you were the one killing yourself
