London used or second hand?

IMAliyu:
Guy, abeg check your local computer shops first.
For the price of that Celeron, you could get a, 10th gen i3, or a 6th gen i5 laptops, new or fairly used.

I actually visited a local laptop shop, but them won reap me, imagine selling a mini laptop with 4gb max ram for 70k

jboixxx:
[color=#0000ff]Jumia and Konga serves as escrow for any purchase made on their respective platforms. So, fear not. [/color]

Oh I see, thanks

daamazing:
I've got an 8th gen laptop for you around your price range.

Ok boss please let's talk on Whatsapp (zero 9 zero 2 nine 66 eight six 3 0)

adubam:
I wish you were in Abuja. Happiness Computer sells almost new fairly used computers at reasonable price. Google Happiness Computer. I heard they have branches in Lagos and PH

Thanks I will do just that

Ibrothehassan:
guy don't buy a celeron processor laptop

I've made a u turn already
My problem now is choosing the best laptop for programing and video editing

adubam:
Why would you buy a Celeron Processor Laptop? That Jumia brand is inferior to that of the Jiji

I am only scared of potential scam from sellers on jiji plus I prefer getting a brand new laptop.
I want to start web development class and I need a laptop urgently

Goodnuel:
Most sellers on Jumia are on Jiji too. You just have to pick the one you like. I personally prefer Jiji as i can have a direct communication with the seller. Overall, it is about choice. Just don't pay any money first on Jiji, except the sellers gives you reasons beyond doubt to pay first.

Is there escrow service on jumia

eteebanky1:
If both laptop on jumia and jiji carry same specifications.... I'll advise you to order it on jumia, they only sell brand new sealed laptops unlike jiji, na foreign used/naija used upanda

Does jumia act as escrow just like AliExpress, I want to be sure I am shopping safe.
Can you open dispute like AliExpress

I know this is unrelated to this thread but please I need your help,
Would you advise me to buy a laptop from Jiji or jumia, jumia don't give option to chat with seller, can one dispute any transaction on jumia like AliExpress if the transaction does not go well, I would have ordered from AliExpress but, no be me customs go use build house

Fayrouzz:
He went there today, and they said the 50k. Everything appears fraudulent.

So you mean everything they said about the custom fee is not real, like they were trying to extort him?

dipson4:
Please when exactly did you ordered the phone? And were you charged by custom for it?

I ordered it on the 1st of April and got it on 15th May
I wasn't charged by custom, I only paid 500 naira handling fee to post office

ganie:
Please what is the delivery duration of most items like phone on AliExpress in recent times?

From personal experience, my phone used exactly 1month and 15days to get to me
Delivery duration depends on a lot of factors, among which is the level nipost service in your location, time or duration of shipping by the seller and luck

Olamak1:
For where? That was about a month ago! Dollar rate has increased astronomically in a couple of days on Binance. As at this evening, the least p2p rate is 766.60 naira/$, and it hasn't stopped. In fact, the rate could hit 800 naira/$ by tomorrow.

O.M.G
You don't mean it, damn omo I thought the price was still the same

Jaysolu:
Oh ok. what is the dollar rate?

if you're finding with binance the rate should be somewhere around 740-745/$

9jamemez:
Which state?

Akwa ibom

Broskyjames:
Shey your body go calm down now. Happy for you tho.

Lol, my body Don calm down
Thanks

Jaysolu:
I’ve also heard something like this. Also how did you make payment for this parcel?

I used gotok virtual card

So i got a call from nipost to come take my item yesterday,after almost two months of waiting,
omo it's was like a dream, I thought I'll never receive this parcel again, I was even getting ready to open dispute, but thank God it arrived safely
the seller declared the price as 30dollar, I guess he did that to evade custom tax or something

The woman that called me said something about parcels being sold, I really don't understand what she meant by that, is like some nopost staff are selling people's parcel.
I just pray none of my future items should pass through nipost again

please guys put everyone who's parcel is handled by nipost in prayers, na me know wetin i dey face right now
you cant track you parcel once it gets to Nigeria, it's like being locked in a pitch dark room

Macmilla:
So one of my orders that initially failed custom clearance just cleared now.
It seems aliexpress is aware of the strike. See the notification on the tracking page

sorry please is this particular parcel you screenshot a nipost or speedaf item

gonkin:
That's mine purchased for 48k from aliexpress in August 2018 it took 6 days to arrive in naija but custom hold am for 2 weeks last last na 5k dem collect

48k? damn
dollar don really show us shege

gonkin:
Cuz the kind of phone I use is not really sold in Naija. I currently use oukitel and im also attracted to blackview, doogee , and ulefone product
I like them cuz they are rugged devices and some have infrared night vision camera that let's u see in pitch black without using any form of light.

that's so true, i actually have used oukitel before, but it got damaged that's why i am ordering again but nipost

Broskyjames:
Bro...I know how you feel, but you have to actually chill!. Everyone is recieving thier parcel you say? Let me ask, is everyone in the same location as you? Have you thought of factoring this in? One month you say? and it's Nipost? You neva wait, you just dey start, i have waited for a Parcel for 3 months!, I have collected refund one time even and the package later arrived after 4 months! One month and you are crying? That is light work na. All this kati kati might work with Speedaf, because they are a private firm with rep to protect, but you see Nipost, they are assured salary whether they function or not, and they have very little rep to protect, i might even give you the post master general of Nigeria's direct phone number and i bet you 90% , he might not give a hoot about your parcel.

So first things first, Chill, secondly, From experience, Phones ordered from AE are usually routed through NIPOST, and so that's the risk one must bear for that juicy lower price the phone is sell ing for rather than outrightly buying it here. Distance is also a factor, You stay in Uyo, which is South, Shipments comes to Lagos in the west for custom clearance, before been moved to the NIPOST regional centre, so those those in Lagos have this advantage of getting thier package slightly earlier because of this, so after sorting in Lagos, the parcels are dispatched to other states, and NIPOST logistics in the last few years can be akin to a snail with arthritis, extremely slow!, and they might not even move parcels to a particular state in two weeks, if the parcels doesn't met a certain weight quota. So the irony is that, the package might have landed in Lagos, but it will take at least 3 weeks to get to you. Don't just check your local post office or the one closest to you, If there is a central post office in Uyo, also check, because there's where goods are dispatched to other parts of the city when they arrive from Lagos and so sometimes it might be stuck there.

I do hope you get your package, but for safety, monitor the buyers protection counter, and if you haven't received the package before it runs out, apply for a refund and state your case, also keep up with the seller. I have successfully negotiated a full refund for a failed delivery even when the goods supposedly landed in Nigeria! , so be vigilant and don't fret. Ordering Phone from AE is 50:50, sweet adventure but maximum risk!

Shallom.

thanks brotherly for this
I'll try and check the post office in uyo, someone here gave me a number to call
thanks

jboixxx:
[color=#0000ff]For real? That's why most people don't drop contacts. Why would you think of calling post master cuz of your package. Visit the PO and make enquiries. It's possible your line wasn't reachable and it's possible they didn't try at all and worst case, it hasn't arrived. [/color]

bro i have gone to the post office myself today, they told me it hasn't reached them, this parcel is more than 1month, what do you expect me to do, everyone is receiving Thier parcel from p.o but mine is yet to reach my local post office，even if you call they hardly pick your call, and when they do, they drop the call immediately you talk about your parcel
this parcel is worth 165 dollar it's a mobile phone, i just need someone to just help me confirm where my parcel is, I mailed them concerning my parcel but they are yet to give me a reply
what do you expect me to do in this case this is my first parcel with nipost

please someone should help o, this wait is just too much, i ordered a phone since 1st April, and up till now there's no call or message from nipost, the last tracking update was on 18 April which says "received by local delivery company".
i went to the post office today and they told me my parcel has not reached them, i don tire, even people that ordered after i ordered mine have started receiving calls to come for their parcel, wetin i do nipost abeg
please if anybody has the number of uyo post master should please drop it here for me abeg, this wait is killing me
please help me check the this pictures I don't understand the tracking update

Macmilla:
OK. So I went to the post office this morning. I made noise and para for them o. They had to listen to and guess what... I left there with my item. Can you imagine?
The same people that have been telling me my item has not arrived suddenly said they called me and I didn't pick up.
For those saying post office no get problem, this is another incidence. Imagine if I didn't go there to shout.

please which state is that
you did well, is it a phone?

Babalegba:
Nipost just called me to come and collect my item ordered on the 16th of April. It does look like they were unaffected by the strike.

please which state is that, mine has been ordered since 1st of April

abhosts:
I ordered a phone and phone case from different sellers on the 15th of April and I chose AliExpress Standard Shipping for both.

The phone seller shipped with Singapore Shipping while phone case seller used Speedaf. I got a call this morning to pickup the phone at the post office while phone case is still stuck with the Customs failed message.

Does that mean the airport strike did not affect shipments that came via the Post Office?

please which state?

Macmilla:
Yes we are. So..?

you made it look like i was asking a different question, i was just trying to say, your question and mine are the same

Macmilla:
I think the question should be how does the 75% increment affect us aliexpress shoppers?

it's the same thing, AliExpress shoppers are buyers, right?

aieromon:
Work to resume on Monday as Unions have agreed on 75% increase.

please i don't really understand this, how does this increase affect buyers
