The fact that you had a bad experience as per custom ish doesn't mean others too will have the experience...

Get that, yeah?

I have been a very frequent aliexpress buyer for two years at a stretch and I had no custom issues.... Guess it's just God's favour and don't be surprised if it remains that way tongue

It will never be a bad device in 2019, the design will never not be trendy so long Samsung s8/s9 are still pleasing the eyes. Most people prefer the 18:9 display to 19:9 so I see no reason why it will be bad in 2019. If for anything the wide notch design will fizzle out next year, it will die a quick death.
Different strokes for different folks my brother

You speak as though you are physically went to customs to clear the cargo with 300 naira.

You were simply lucky that your package wasn't routed to customs. What you paid was nipost handling fee. Many people who order items in the past 4 weeks weren't that lucky. I'm quite sure you wouldn't be this assertive if you hard placed phone orders within the last few weeks.

A few weeks ago I had 3 phone package and all 3 were billed customs duty, the lowest being 4k.


I would advise you to mark the statement of yours so we can refer to it the day Nipost customs will decide to treat your file.
That was the main reason I had to stop any aliexpress orders till 2019; the heat would have reduced by then

Just because you have not had to pay more than #500 doesn’t mean everyone will escape it, scotweezy has made valid points tbh. Was at the PO today and a guy was billed 12k for a Redmi Note 6 pro. There is no guarantee that you will not pay custom fee if you decide to buy a phone via Alixpress tomorrow.If the seller declares $20, you will cough out that money if custom nabs you.
Yeah, right. All na luck

But am only talking about the stance of Redmi 5 plus come 2019
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by Maxcoded: 7:25pm On Dec 04, 2018
scotweezy:
You might probably end up paying custom fees(that may rise to as much as 6k or more) and you will only be able to get the global rom model compared to the global version model you will be getting on jumia.
At the end of the day, it is still an okay device and another plus is the fact that it is still trendy and a good alternative to the notch carrying models flooding the market of recent.
At times the additional 5-7k might be difficult to squeeze out after you consider the fact that you will still need like 3k for accessories, if not, getting the Redmi note 5/6 is a better all round deal if the fund is available.
...and trust me, Redmi 5 plus won't be trendy again come 2019; ask Redmi Note 4 of 2017, he will tell you how far

I have never had to pay custom fees more than N500 for all my orders in aliexpress... I got a phone worth 55k (Redmi 6 pro) around October from aliexpress and I paid only N300 to clear it
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by Maxcoded: 6:29pm On Dec 04, 2018
As much as I love this device, the build is what I hate. It's really getting too common this days. It's the same thing you will find in the Huawei Nova i3 and the nonsense phone tecno released about two weeks back

BTW, it's priced at $199

PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by Maxcoded:
scotweezy:
Nah! I beg to disagree. Point to a better spec'ed device you can easily get at that price in Nigeria i.e.Get within few days of ordering. It's only the Redmi note 5 and 6 you can get with a little bit of added cash, and it will take a couple of weeks to get it.
I really don't have problem with waiting... That phone cost less than that on Aliexpress

I guess it all boils down to the user itself. Plus that device will be a little outdated by 2019 because so many series of phones will be released both from the Redmi series to the Mix series. This year alone, Xiaomi released about 5phones. Now next year, we are sure of having at least 5 more.

Now tell me, what position will Redmi 5 plus be by then?

Now we are agreeing on a partial refund

Should I accept the amount the seller offers or should I bargain ?

I think you should be able to answer that question yourself. But to be fair, it should be the exact half of the order value

ubev01:
you are right. However I think what he was trying to say is that you shouldn't see the case as a standard, just enjoy it while it last. Mi Max 3 users can confirm that the was no case in the box from xiaomi
He shoulda been more clear, not just making it seem as if others don't know sh*t

It's not a standard as they (xiaomi) don't manufacture pouch/casing. Sellers include it as a freebie
You should prolly do your research well next time before giving false claims

All those screen shots are from the official MI website. Sellers don't add them as freebie; it been sent directly from the company.

The best you ought to have said is that they may pay companies to manufacture it on their behalf while they sell it together with their phones

Am not even here to start dragging who is correct or not, all xiaomi owe us is the phone, charger and the sim ejector (which is basically the standard package) If they add a case, good if they don’t glory be to God. Nobody should come and start cursing xiaomi tomorrow if they fail to ship their phones with cases o.

My Redmi Note 5 is black and it came with a transparent case, but thanks to the oga I bought from, he added a cool case which am currently using
Well, maybe that was prolly just a mistake from the factory.

Most if not all of the unboxing videos I have watched(black version) all came with a black case
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by Maxcoded: 8:25pm On Dec 03, 2018
MeshachMARTINS:
But those transparent case tho :\

Wish they were only black
It depends on the phone colour you order.... If you order a black version, you get a black case. If you order a gold version, you get a transparent case.

It will look really lame to give you a black case over a golden coloured back... I think they are just tryna match colours

All he is saying is that, it’s not a guarantee that xiaomi phones will ship with cases in their boxes .
Probably the old Xiaomi phones..... The new ones(2018 phones) comes with a case as standard; the only thing you might need to buy separately is the tempered glass

Bought a Redmi Note 4 during 2017 and it didn't come with a case. Bought a Redmi 6 pro this year around October and it came with a case; same goes for all the 2018 unboxing video I have been watching on Xiaomi phones

Nah, I disagree.

I got a sealed Redmi 6 pro from a seller; officially from Xiaomi.

Found the case right inside the box underneath the phone, not added outside.

It was only the tempered glass that was added separately outside the sealed box
