I just did, but I get error on AliExpress when I try using their card...

What might be the problem...

What did the error show?

Babalegba:
Everybody should avoid Vesti dollar card. Once your money is in their dollar card ,you can't use it for any purchase big or small and they keep telling you they are working on it. but you cannot liquidate your money so it's effectively trapped. Im mulling reporting them to FCCPC as well as other relevant agencies.

Report 'em. Show no mercy

misscjkeyz:
So.which is the most reliable and less expensive method to use...cause i keep seeing complaints on the thread

Go gotok, if you.understand binance it makes it stress free.

Blaqq2:
Hi guys
So I funded my gotok account today and tried to order something of $50 but was canceled by aliexpress and requested to appeal
I appealed and they said I should provide my card statement but gotok card no get bank statement !!!
So how do I do about it abeg

Used same gotok yesterday to make payment with no issues. You have to appeal. Maybe take a screenshot from gotok showing card details ( black out some numbers in the card).

The screenshot should show the exact amount debited in AliExpress. I guess this should do it.

Olamak1:
Your card funding was done through which wallet?

Bought BUSD from Binance

I've got just two words for my first Gotok experience- simply seamless.

A partner wants to go all in on PV installations so I did some research. Felicity solar are the only lower tier solar who have a proper website and proper documentation of all their products. They also have very wide coverage. Across Africa.

Most of these solar products Google searches takes you to jumia and ends there. Or the company ends in Ikeja.

We also went to felicitys main office in okota. They have a workshop filled to overflowing. Whether that is a good sign or not depends on you.

It's a good sign, at least it shows their after sales services is not just on the paper.

Trippledots:
I recently repaired a felicity hybrid on warranty. It's cooling fan failed and something roasted inside. It has been installed back and working welk so far... I think Felicity is trying in that regards.

That's true, I've had them repair a friend's inverter too free of charge. I was shocked, the friend only covered transportation cost of sending it to their office and back. They are trying.

earthrealm:
hahahahhaha, i have been on both sides of the table at different times, so i have an unbiased perspective.

errrm, but lemme ask you....since we all know that these chinese products are substandard, why do we still buy them?...why not go for premium products that cost an arm an a leg like victron or morning star?. the morning star 60amps charge controller is 650 dollars...wch is about 500k plus, then seller factors in profit..its heading towards 600k for a bloody charge controller -- but it comes with a robust 5yr few questions asked waranty, they sent out a replacement unit, sharp. but we all prefer the elcheapo 100k charge controller and still expect a world class performance. .

for these chinese products, most sellers are middle men and dont have the willpower & muscle to push for waranty from where ever they bought it from, only felicity, growatt , aedunamis to some extent, have i heard honor waranties. i would advice if you must buy these chinese products ..buy direct from the big distributor in nigeria, 2nd best option buy from the manufacturer/or big seller in china. they usually have a 1yr waranty, felicity i learnt does 2yrs waranty...Deye offers 5yrs waranty..but costs over 2x that of the average china inverter....so the avg nigerian runs from it. victron offers 5yr waranty, but costs about 4x the cost of avg china inverter .- na so people dey pick race, .....

I've had a Chinese seller replace my Fangpusun charge controller after 18 months by sending another charge controller free of charge and even used DHL to waybill it, I bought the charge controller then $276 in 2016. It may not be premium, but some sellers still know how to honour a warranty. They gave me 2 years warranty. Still using the replacement till date, got no reason to give it up, it simply still works

durodee:
I recently had an inverter that stopped working less than 3 months of purchase. Next i was slammed with a bill of 120k for repairs.
Reason: the components inside failed, hence it's not covered .
This then begs the question of what exactly is covered?

The last person that tried this had to share the cost of the repairs with me as I had to insist they tell me what exactly they cover in their warranty and how I voided it. You'll be surprised to see they have nothing to say!

NpvnStar:
I exactly asked myself this same question. and asked the person as well. what else happens to a stabilizer asides a burnt component? after sales service for Nigerian establishments who just order components and couple in the country.

Keep pushing till they tell you EXACTLY what their warranty cover, it'll be interesting to hear what they'll have to say.

earthrealm:
, cos this wretched country called nigeria manufacturers almost nothing and are relying on the warranty support&spares of the chinese, and the chinese knowing the end user countries have poor quality standards, ship in all sorts of cheap low grade devices that the average african can afford.

They know the products they are selling is substandard, the least they could do is offer a real warranty. This is the reason I don't take warranties from here serious as only very few will honour it when push comes to shove.

NpvnStar:
I bought it February this year. It just smoked without any warning or even protecting itself. The lead never even exceeded 60%. Even if it's a load issue, it claims to have overload protect

I've contacted the marketer I bought it from on their website and he is saying that their warranty does not cover burnings of components but that I should still send them the stabilizer

Do you have any idea how long it takes for them to fix it?

What exactly does their warranty cover? Paint chipping off the container? WTF is wrong with most Nigerian establishment and their crooked warranty clauses deliberately done to shy away from ever offering any meaningful warranty?

viperVIP:

BannedUser:
Generally for P2P Express on Binance, the higher the amount of busd you're buying, the cheaper the exchange rate.

If you were buying like 1 million naira worth of busd, your price could have been 744.

Shouldn't they at least state the rate they are selling for the amount a person wants to buy BEFORE payment?

Ifeanyi4491:
I called Nipost with one of the number on thier website so someone pick up the call and asked me to send the tracking ID, since I sent he has refuse to pick my call..
Who has experience something like this pls

NIPOST customer care is just the epitome of everything bad in public service in Nigeria. They don't care about your issues. They are just there to earn a salary and go home. Period .

cris83:
Yeah, all good since Monday. Lots of customers finished them on their twitter handle and eventually they got things working. My trapped money finally resurfaced and I was able to launch my virtual card and do what I needed to do.

We love social media. Driving more change than any other media for the masses

cris83:
Absolutely nothing. It's been 48 hours now and nothing has been done. There is no response from them at all.

I hope it's all good now. Customer service of these fintechs suck

cris83:
I am a victim too. The money is not there in my app. I sent 8500 from my main back account to the virtual Globus bank account created for me by the app. There is no information about the money on the app received. Nothing!! Its been more than 24hours and nothing has shown up. Money deducted from my GTB is shown while still no reflection on the app. Even the Globus account they created for me is gone. No be scam app be this?!

What did their customer care do when you contacted them?

Tolu91:
I tried them yesterday, my money is stuck in there, I don’t know how my money disappeared

You have to give us more details, money don't just disappear. Did you send money there from binance and it disappeared or did it disappear at Binance end? Thanks a lot.

Ex0rrcist:
Gotok is goated, tried it yesterday. Smooth like butter. Recommend it to anyone, cheap(750 p2p), fast and efficient.

That's a better deal

jetoraphy:
The price has increased to ₦760 this morning.

No hidden charges.

These guys are just profiting off of Nigeria's populace misfortune. Thanks for the update

jetoraphy:
Payday = ₦750

Any other hidden charges?

kingphilip:
Wanted to create a card with them today and saw the rate at 763.20 and I faced front o.

Valto:
any used panels with Canadian solar and jinko stickers are fake.
buy brand new original yingli or jinko.

I concur. Hard to see the original used sold in the open market. You can always see it when someone decommissioned one. Most Canadian solar panels sold as used are merely stickers of Canadian solar pasted on subpar used Chinese panels

Jefferyzz:
Lol. U dey follow AliExpress price. Check the currency to dollar inside settings. Anything u see, use 750 to multiple it. Nah 440/$ AliExpress dey use.

Klasha is now ₦755/$

jetoraphy:
Klasha rate now is ₦755.51 per $1

Damn! I guess they saw they are getting popular

Olamak1:
Do they offer platform for virtual dollar card or you're referring to the normal prepaid dollar card?

I used GTB statement to verify address on Klasha and it was seamless

genius43:
I have followed all instructions for the Address verification but not working. I don't get why two exact addresses copied as it is is still not approved. They can keep their services. Alternatives full ground.

Modified: Apparently they have a beef with the other banks used because I tried with my GTB which I purposely didn't want to use and it worked.

Oh, I used GTB too and it was seamless

morikee:
Klasha verification not working

It works. Just follow the instruction
