How many days before you received it and where's your location please ☺️☺️

25 days. The location doesn't make it faster or slower though. It has to do with if customs will release it in time.

FEGEITOK:
I spent some good cash on Amazon Prime Day 2023 shopping because those publicly displayed prices.

True, had to buy Soundcore Boom because I saw the price @ $77

Deal was just too sweet to miss

What's the update about your boombox

Rocking it.

Putting up prices of items for sale open to public view

There are several pros and cons to putting up prices of items for sale open to public view.

Pros:

Transparency: Customers appreciate transparency, and being able to see the prices of items before they ask about them can help build trust and credibility with customers.

Efficiency: It can save time for both customers and employees if prices are clearly displayed, as customers can quickly see if an item is within their budget and employees don't have to answer as many price-related questions.

Comparison shopping: Customers can easily compare prices between different items or different stores if prices are displayed.

Cons:

Price haggling: Some customers may try to haggle down the price of an item if they see that it is priced higher than they expected, this may still occur in DM though.

Price changes: If prices are constantly changing, it can be difficult to keep track of them, and customers may be confused if they see different prices for the same item at different times.



Conclusion

Ultimately, the decision of whether to put up prices of items for sale open to public view or by request is a matter of personal preference and business strategy. There are pros and cons to both approaches, and the best approach for a particular business will depend on a variety of factors.

I am in favor of displaying prices. At the very least, I would like to see a price range. For example, when I shop on Alibaba, I am more likely to contact sellers who display their prices than those who do not. This is because it allows me to quickly see if an item is within my budget and eliminates the need for me to ask a lot of questions in order to make a decision. In my opinion, displaying prices makes for a faster and more efficient shopping experience.

I downloaded DavidPov videos regarding Growalt videos on Friday night and watched the videos yesterday morning before seeing @ViperVIP comment regarding the inverter and I tend to agree with you on the claims of certain aspects of they inverter.

A friend bought his Growatt inverter from the US and has had no problems. Are they selling defective units in Nigeria?

It's interesting that you learned about Growatt from the not-so-technical YouTuber Poz. You should also check out Will Prowse. He's an excellent resource for information on Growatt inverters

Olawale86:
I've 2 orders as well,they both arrived in Nigeria one was received by local delivery company since 26th last month the second arrived on 3rd of this month, but none of the at my nearest post office yet and this what I'm seeing since 26th

Bought same Anker in June, rocking mine. You'll surely get it.

aeu1:
You will pay $1 - card creation fee.
And $1 - everytime u wanna top up
I personally stopped using them.
But they are working well.

So if I want to top up $5 I'll pay $1? That's some crazy fee

Naira really floating. I see

Why is Klasha ₦813.50/$

Any genuine reason

cyrusmillz:
Hello. It it possible to have a solar system that powers just my laptop and phone ..... or is there a product out there already?

Go to Jumia and type in the search bar "solar generators" or if you want to go for a specific brand "Qasa Solar Generator" or "Bluetti Solar Generator" or "Solar Laptop Powerbank". You'll see a lot of options to chose from if you don't want to DIY the system

TechGeek777:
Thanks, is there any website or ways to know the areas that are more prone to lightning strikes?

Those I'm Benin City, have your inverters, Cc or panels experience damages due to lightning strikes?

I dunno about websites, if you live in an area prone to lightning strikes, the results are there in the form of damaged inverters, TVs etc after a thunderstorm.

Also you'll notice a lot of strikes during rain.

TechGeek777:
Thanks, which did you previously used and what's your experience like?

Which can last minimum 5 yrs plus?

I used the Fangpusun FLEXmax solar charger controller, which has a lifespan that depends on a variety of factors. These factors include how close you run it to the maximum open circuit voltage, how cool it runs (which is determined by the location), the protective devices you have (a surge protective device can help), and the area of the city you live in (some areas are more prone to lightning strikes than others).

TechGeek777:
Fangpusun FLEXmax 60A vs Fangpusun Blue Series MPPT 150/60 vs Epever eTracer 60A, which of them charge faster and that's more durable?

As a biased one time user, go for Fangpusun FLEXmax

dacool1:
Can someone please explain why a resistive load draw more amps than inductive load of same power rating.

Sure. The amount of current drawn by a load is determined by its resistance and the voltage applied to it. According to Ohm's law, current is equal to voltage divided by resistance. So, for a given voltage, a load with a higher resistance will draw more current.

A resistive load is a load that simply converts electrical energy into heat. The resistance of a resistive load is constant, so the current drawn by a resistive load will be directly proportional to the voltage applied to it.

An inductive load is a load that contains an inductor. An inductor is a coil of wire that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field. When current flows through an inductor, the magnetic field builds up. When the current stops flowing, the magnetic field collapses, creating a voltage that opposes the current flow. This voltage is called back EMF.

The back EMF in an inductor delays the current flow, so the current in an inductive load is not in phase with the voltage. This is why inductive loads have a lower power factor than resistive loads.

The power factor of a load is a measure of how efficiently the load converts electrical energy into useful work. A power factor of 1 means that all of the electrical energy is converted into useful work. A power factor of less than 1 means that some of the electrical energy is lost as heat.

Because of the back EMF, an inductive load has a lower power factor than a resistive load. This means that for a given voltage, an inductive load will draw leas current than a resistive load of the same power rating.

First time of buying from Ali Express.

Oh, that's a sad way to introduce you to AliExpress. Being using em since 2014 with no loss. Hopefully, the CC may be able to work things out with you.

jboixxx:
[color=#0000ff] Except if it's been stopped, I once got compensated but valued in coupon (total order amount) and my case was genuine as seller asked me to open dispute for easier repayment but window had closed. That wa in 2018.

The cc made me to understand it was a one-off privilege. [/color]

Very likely made possible by a seller willing to make compromises. When they ignore your messages, you are on your own. But I'll like to be wrong here.

TheNewAgeFarmer:
Customer case is on it. I need the car part more than the money

In my experience, the customer care will use words like "I promise you, this will be resolved" bla bla bla. But in reality most of those words they use appear to be a template they just copy and paste.

I don't usually have high hopes of them doing anything much especially when the protection period has elapsed. That is why I watch that protection period like a hawk and will pounce on the dispute button when it's about to run out and I don't have the goods or something not right with the goods received.

Hopefully, your case will be different.

jboixxx:
[color=#0000ff] EMS is state owned! It must go through NCS. [/color]

Yeah, I don't eff with em, if I can help it.

jboixxx:
[color=#0000ff]It depends on the messages exchanged; what they're about and what responses seller gave. Remember also that some of them doesn't understand English (well). Someone once claimed a seller scammed him, but by the time he uploaded his messages with seller, we realised he was the one that erred!

I read descriptions and specifications, especially sizes and dimensions, well before ordering cuz of issues like this.

He may be lucky to get compensated by customer care.

[/color]

That's another way of looking at it. I triple check dimensions, this made me buy a good digital vernier caliper so I can measure the parts I'm buying down to the nearest MM.

If after doing all these and contacting seller to confirm these, if you sell me a dud, then there is zero mercy from my end.

On your last statement, I've never seen a case of customer care compensating a customer after the protection period is out. All they do is hem and haw and try to placate the customer.

winnerhero:
after 15 days aliexpress will release funds to seller, you were late for the dispute, beg the seller to see if he will refund part of the money

This type of seller won't refund the money. He won't even respond to his messages again. That's how they roll. Business is done.

TheNewAgeFarmer:
See what I saw when I clicked on refund. 182$ including shipping. Seller is not responding to messages.

Oh, it's too late. You should've opened the dispute when there is still time left. Of course, the seller won't reply you. That is why I'm just as insensitive and ruthless as them when you sell me a dud and I open dispute. No amount of "close dispute I'll give you discount on next order will make me budge." Especially when I perceive you are just a crooked seller trying to make a quick buck.

TheNewAgeFarmer:
Good evening guys. Got a car part for $200 and it didn't fit.
All along seller assured me that it will fit my car.
Are refunds effective on Ali Express.

If there is no way to sell this part to recoup part of your money, ask for 100% of your money back. After all you have assurance via AliExpress chat (which you can screenshot when you open dispute) that the seller have assured you that the part will fit. In your dispute tell AliExpress that it'll cost you about $100 to send it back hence your reason to keep it.

morikee:
Could you imagine the Package too closed to 4 months to get here it was at Lagos chilling for over 3 months.

I always avoid EMS if I can. I wonder why goods that go through them most likely than not always seem to attract a duty to be paid.

morikee:
EMS don kee me item of 41,000 Naira they're demanding 9,800 as Custom duty

So EMS is still doing this shît they do with crazy custom duty when goods arrive via them? Dang, I thought they've changed.

Janyves:
Good morning peeps, its been a while since I last walked through this virtual avenue.......... How you all doing? I'll join the PV-grid peeps next year, but for now I'm still on the vintage train. PEACE

Interesting setup. But I have some questions

1) Why is the inverter directly put on top of the battery?

2) Why is the tubular electrolyte glass indicator usually put on each six cell of the battery missing or is this battery yet to be connected?

Well done.

JUO:
how long ago? Cells are always available

Just 2019. Maybe available just like I said, didn't know where to buy.

brightk:
Boss abeg this oversizing matter pls I need some explanation.

Nothing much to be explained here, solar panel oversizing is simply having a little bit more than enough solar panels needed to charge a particular battery. So you can also oversize battery, eg having enough battery to last for say 4 days in the event there is not enough sun or mains (NEPA) to charge the batteries.

IAmRoot:
Hi, do you have any good shippers that you can recommend to me so i can use?

You can try Nonikings (search NL for Chinese WhatsApp contact ending in 2441)

FYI:: Not affiliated in any way to 'em. Do your own research.
