I only lost two officially. The remaining 3 I'v bn searching 4,I realised d sellers didn't even ship it.They confidently told me because it was less than $10&no shipping fee dat they didn't mak it.
They Just gav me fake tracking code&u knw hong kong post is nonsense. 2track somethng there,they'l b telling u 0 days abi wetin.

Nipost has gone global walahi. They bring myn 2my office sef lik once any arrives,I'l get a call&because my office is a working distance frm d post office,omoh 2secs e don land.

They only ask for 500 if its a big parcel but ask for any amt if its vry small. Me I tell d seller 2reduce d value of d item wen writing it on d package so dat wen nipost ppl brings it,I'l b lik "can't u c its just $1 so how on earth wil I pay 500 naira 4dis thng"? Then I'l hav my way. Just sharing free tips here.

Yes o, my face is well known there now. I just walk in and they give me my items. No long thing and I tip 'em when I'm happy. Yeah, the last item I collected was worth $240 but the yeye seller mark am $8 and described the item as toy

francawilson:

Recently i'v bn getting parcels lik 10 days afta ordering dem. Nipost don go global ooo.D items i lost were some of d'ones i ordered in Dec&1st wk of Jan. Mayb they got missing at Lagos or somethng.Hmmmm

Just about to order when I saw the bolded. Make I park well

NIPOST is truly cool. Got over 40 packages via them with NONE MISSING

sniperwolf:
Thanks, I was able to receive the package today from the post office in Owerri and it was exactly what I needed. It was perfect.
What is one wants to cheat the seller by claiming dispute after receiving the genuine thing as expected.

Note: That is not my intention, just want to know if there is something like seller's protection too

sniperwolf:
How do I track this package from Hong Kong Post Air Mail? My tracking number is RT235734501HK

Track it from here http://www.17track.net/m/en/result/post-details.shtml

When it enters Nigeria you can then track it here

http://www.nipost.gov.ng/TrackAndConfirm.aspx

Track after 10 days.

The tracking number you pasted has not been updated yet to the tracking site

Ohana:
must you have an id card before you can claim your goods at the post office or the tracking number is just enough?

Depends on the post office and your level of familiarity with the NIPOST workers.

My first time they refused to give me my package until I presented an ID

So to be on safe side go along with your ID

Mcslize:
Nokia C3

It may be from the phone

BrokenTV:
I notice what he is saying on Operamini, but it does not affect when you use Ucweb.

Thought as much.

Mcslize:
it has never be like dat before o. It just started last week. D site don cast. I tried UCWEB d same rectangular boxes displayed. Aliexpress site is getting out of hand
Looking for way out.

What type of phone are you using? Because I just opened the site now with ucweb and there was no issue. They upgraded their site though.

Mcslize:
so whats d way out? I want to search for some things in Aliexpress bt dat rectangular display couldn't allow one to do dat

If you are using an android phone download the app. Alternatively you can try other browser like Ucweb, I'm assuming you were using opera mini browser.

francawilson:
Imagine ooo. 'V gone 2Wuse&Area 10, they were vry reluctant 2search 4it. They told me 2go 2area 1 shikina cos dats d closest 2my office. I hav 3 parcels missing road since i ordered in dec meanwhile som items i ordered on 20th Jan arrived on 1st feb&d post office guy brought dem 2me. Was super amazed. Anyway,dats unfortunate&thank God d seller understood.

This Chinese ppl understand business eh! I ordered a particular handbag and they sent me another bag. I told dem i'l sue their asss&they begged me dat d one i ordered was out of stock so they sent a substitute. They agreed 2refund my money but they said i shld giv dem 5 star&positive feedback. I told dem i don't need d money 2b refunded rather i'l use it 2repurchase somethng in their store. Imagine negociation

When it comes to positive feedback aliexpress sellers can literally kill for it

As per your missing items they are most probably gathering dust in one post office.

If you promise to raise hell plus dust you'll be surprised how efficient they'll suddenly become

Or you can grease some few palms and watch your missing items located.


Mini importing got it's twists as well as thrills.

Peace

sniperwolf:
And which postal service does Aliexpress use when parcels arrive Nigeria

Free shipping by China Post, Singapore Post, NL Post etc all land at the NIPOST office

sniperwolf:
Can someone help me make sense of this tracking information. I've not received any info from the post office in Owerri

Your goods arrived Owerri Post Office on 3rd Feb 2015 by 3PM. Go to the Owerri post office with the tracking number and an ID card (National ID card, driving licence or international passport or student ID) to collect your package.

Hold small change for 'tipping'

francawilson:
I havn't recieved it but i don't even knw where 2trace it to since it says unsuccessful delivery but i told d buyer i stil want to pay 4it but he said i shld forget it dat i shld tak it as valentine gift frm him to me.

Well i tried!

Wow. Very cool seller. Most unsuccessful delivery means that the item is at the post office just that no one has come to claim it.


Imagine a valentine gift you no enjoy. Kai!

francawilson:
Goodmorning my dear frnds. I ordered somethng on aliexpress but it cudn't b delivered. This is d evidence; woteva it means. I opened dispute&now i'm getting a refund but i feel so bad cos d fault is frm nipost&not d seller. Now i just want 2repay d seller d money even though d item travelled 2kafanchan. So how do i go abt it?

If you have received the product, order the same product again. Tell seller not to ship. Confirm it received. Aliexpress will pay the seller. Case closed.

The English information on the official website of China Post is translated from Chinese tracking status, but not all information can be successfully translated. So “NULL” is a technical problem of the website, not your parcel.

PEK refers to Beijing Capital International Airport.


In other words, your goods is on its way to Naija

No cause for alarm

condi1704:
Dear all, pls how do I track this tracking number 11202198918. The seller stated the carrier as "other" which site do I track numbers like this. Pls help I am not used to this kind numbers.

It should be between $25 to $35

Whizkel:
wow
gotta get access account asap. thanks man

Access @ 190.76 this evening

Whizkel:
uba exchange rate was at 198.81 per dollar as at yesterday night when i made some transactions. so access' own should be lower. one day the dollar would drop. arms crossed

I like this, others should keep us informed as per dollar-naira exchange rate

csckid:
I was charged #204 to $1 by uba yesterday when I made payment

Many thanks

Abeg importers, how much dem charge una as per exchange for the rugged dollar?

Me wan transact biz but fear hold me

goldincome:
Are u saying that if someone have 10kg, he has to wait until you get up to 45kg before you ship to nigeria?

What will be the cost of 10kg? Do you do custom clearance and does it have different price? Do you have office in Lagos for people to collect their goods?

Good question.

There's need for a verifiable physical Naija address just in case things goes south.

Also most importers don't import up to 45KG

herboshedhe:
From friday till 5:32pm today,access has been charging #190

Thanks. Here I was complaining when I was charged 188 by GT . Naira just dey fall dey go

Ndukings92:
u are right bro,that's what my guy told me so i decide to stick with s2.dis postal code aint connecting,its showing error message

Try it with ucweb browser

AkProsper:
I Dnt Underdtand. Is It Nt Thesame Atm I'll Use To Make Payment?

Yes of course. If you can't make payment then no impulse buying.

Another tip I can also give is when the urge comes to buy, put the goods in the shopping cart. Postpone payment. After a day or so you'll be like what da heck is wrong with me? What do I need a digital mirror for $25 when the broken mirror you have can comfortably do the job

AkProsper:
PLEASE HOUSE, HOW DO I AVOID IMPULSE BUYING.

Destroy your ATM card. Trust me it works

Ndukings92:

Beware of cheap Samsung S4 as they are most likely cheap clones that Techno N3 can beat

mirikashi:
NIPOST IS AT IT AGAIN!.
Just about when I, and people like me, started to regain confidence in Nigerian Post services, something very annoying has started to give customers of this service ugly experiences and an urge to sort some other options.
I received a text on my mobile phone, as usual, that I have a parcel to collect at the Zaria post office. On reaching there, I was told to pay N500.00 for each envelope that that was a new development. I tried to inquire what the charge is for but had no good explanation. I had to pay N500.00 'cos I was in a hurry and the parcel had delayed. A week after, same thing happened and a man who appeared to be the manager or the head of a unit explained that the management was at his neck to collect this charge. I insisted for a receipt and they issued me one 'for bulk delivery'.
Pleas can someone who understands how this works explain what bulk delivery is in the post office terms? I only received small items in three envelops. they were registered mails that had been paid by the sender.
If we do not take care of stuffs like this early, maybe mails will begin to get lost once more without trace.
