And risk a kazeem solar installer or the time and energy needed to put together and monitor such a system abi ?

Bro, it's too much work & time for "me". And there are plenty mainstream consumers like me in the market that prefer an alternative to DIY.

Ok, cool it appears you've already made up your mind. Good luck then.

samir101ng:
What do you all think ?

I think you should buy lifepo4 cells and BMS and run it yourself. It's not that hard. You'd get a better bang for your buck that way. DIY all the way

Quick question, guys... Is it true that speedaf are now charging between 500-1000 naira on 'Registered' parcel due to fuel scarcity? I was just told this now by a courier, address is Abuja.

May be an Abuja thing. Just received some package from Speedaf free of charge.

[color=#0000ff]I don't use Access Bank. My point is, refund completion time is dependent on the bank (and also the buyer's account's rating on AliExpress). [/color]

I'm a platinum member, Access bank is just being an @ss in refund lately. That was not how they used to behave. This is new.

jboixxx:
[color=#0000ff]This is not valid. With the likes of GTBank and Zenith, my refund is always within 4 biz days. With GoMoney, it always exceed the 20days. So, it's bank processing ish. [/color]

I'll love to see your feedback when you get a refund from Access Bank currently My refund is still hanging on same Access Bank, Business Day 6.

Zubby2005:
Hello I got a text from no post to come pick up my package even though my AliExpress tracking say delivery failed, then the person texted me to come with $200 then later called me on another line and told me to come with £500, dis Naija sef eh

My bro, abeg use ₦ before the numbers, no just give people HBP

Akinsete19:
Please help, I opened a dispute regarding an order. I was told I will be refunded but it's taking too much time. I called Access bank to request information regarding my refund but it seems they don't understand me. They are telling me to fill a "charge back form". Pls does the picture below means my money has been paid back??

There is a very likelihood you won't get the money even after 20 business days. Download the attached PDF and fill it and email their contact centre to help you get your refund faster. These days Access Bank is pretty slow in processing refunds. Goodluck.

revcompaty:
Simply means payment process is been done by AE, so stay calm.

That was before, from my last experience I never got the refund even after 24 business days not until I initiated a manual refund process by contacting their customer service.

Is this battery a good buy. Someone wanna sell for 50k each he claimed they are fairly used 150ah each

The brand is not a bad brand. I've, once upon a time when lead acid ruled the space, used 4 numbers of 200AH of same brand which was fairly used and it lasted for 3 years plus. I got lucky as the one I bought was truly fairly used. I can't say if the one you want to buy is truly "fairly" used or "brutally" used before being sold.

I'll recommend getting a good guarantee (something like money back if after two weeks you don't like what you see). But I know this type of warranty is like selling ice cubes to an Eskimo , e hard

bidexdo:
Guys I need to know original stores in AliExpress to be able to buy things

Read reviews. Buy. No guarantee when buying in AE. Just lower issues you are likely to get by doing your own research via reading reviews.

Ebubemg:
aliexpress don't send items to China or sell items in China

They may not. But I've had sellers in AliExpress send package to an agent in China and they got paid via AliExpress platform. In China, there are no rules, the only thing that rules is often cash

ceaser:
Imagine even in the tracking, there was initial problem with shipping out the item, and that was documented. But it seems to have scaled that hurdle sha. I seriously hope this problem with shipping will not befall it the rest of the way.

But then on a second though, note that the tracking number reads EX.....SG. This is the first time I have seen EX. I am used to RB...SG, which seems to mean "Regular". Could the "EX" mean "Expedited" which means it is expected to be quite fast?

But even if it is, so far it goes thru NIPOST, an expedited item that takes three days to get to Nigeria will take another three months under NIPOST to get delivered to its destination within Nigeria.

Fingers crossed.

My last package stayed at "Out for delivery" for ages until I got a refund yesterday from AE.

I think I'm getting ₦493.21/$ in GTB as against ₦470/$ with Access. Is this supposed to be ok? Thought that there should be regulation by CBN on this FX card rates?

GTB rate is now ₦490/$

Gnosticstudent:

smallsmall:
Haaaa!
Chinese don kill us finish or are we just the ones trying to defraud ourselves because Chinese wont ever do such in their own country/

Thank you for blowing the Whistle.

China will sell you anything you want.

zayyanumuazu01:
Boss man please is it possible to order on aliexpress morethan $100 dollar worth of goods and please if yes when u go to payment did they debit the exact amount they show you in aliexpress app or more than that, please reply.

You can order for goods worth more than $100 in two ways. Either get an Access bank card which can do $300/month or open a domiciliary account and fund with dollars.

Prices displayed in AliExpress is not what you will pay. That price is always lower than bank rate. It's best to use ₦480/$ exchange rate (if you are using a naira denominated debit card). Or whatever rate you sourced your dollar for (for domiciliary account holders).

ceaser:
Chinese love their holidays so much and don't usually joke with it, cos it's a time to get off hardwork. However I have had seller ship my items and even responded to my messages during their holidays. So I usually don't fret or under pressure if I place order within that period, except I need the item urgently and it is a must that it be shipped at once. In most cases, I haven't experienced shipping delays during their holidays.

Oh yeah. Never in too much of a hurry to get items I buy here.

Poopypants:
if e reach airport, e go still wait till then workers resume.

Well, I'm used to the delays in international shipping

genius43:
Chinese Holiday is not a good time to buy things. Always be mindful of that. All businesses are shut during this 2-3 weeks, so any orders during this period will only be shipped after the holiday.

It is not the seller's fault.

I guess I'm lucky, made an order yesterday. Item was shipped today. I know their holidays ends on 8th February, I guess my seller needs that dollar

Fayrouzz:
I mean for the same item from the same store.

So, i want to buy a watch but the shipping for 1 watch is $5 dollars, i want 5 of the watches which is $25.

Is there a way to pay just $5 for all the watches since they can be shipped at the same thing and in the same package?

Chat the seller and negotiate the shipping. Many won't agree though, but some may. Give it a shot.

TruthUntold:
Relax, mine is since December 7th

Mine is 22nd December...I guess SG is doing us well

Anyone got a fix for Google Pixel 3A that does not see SIM card? Every SIM has been tried still can't see any.

Interesting

saint2ace:
U can check Jumia, they have all capacities in stock....

Thanks a lot

Penuelseun:
Yeah, bought the 1.6kva version for a customer, they use the same case but the difference is the weight as the 1.6kva weighs about 2kg more than the 0.8kva version

How much is the 1.6kva? 12v system or 24v?

Penuelseun:
Tbb inverter

I've seen this TBB some time ago, the 4kw 48v size, stuff was just slightly bigger than this 750W, all with similar form factor. Pretty impressed by the performance of the 4kw.

OfficialDJ:
Officially ditching eBay.
Items I bought from eBay since 10th of last year is yet to be seen!
Aliexpress in conjunction with Speedaf; here we come

When you buy with eBay, use third party shipper to avoid long stories/tears. Lol

anthonex:
But I thought that figure is max for a month and $100 in a day

I've done more than $100/day
Dunno if they've changed their policy now

jakjohnny:
I think we bought the same phone. Mine never arrived too but I was refunded. The price here in Nigeria is quite ridiculous, do you have an idea where I can get it cheap?

I gave up and bought in the US

slimmiee:
Same with mine. I ordered in November and since December 6 it has been stuck on arrived at destination country. I sent a mail to nipost but that Prince Adeyemi told me my parcels are not with them. Nipost and Singapore Post put together is a bad combination.

I always wondered why most of their mails, of late, has issues.

Singapore Post is not known to be fast. My 30th November order is still showing "Arrived at Destination Country" since December 22nd. I just wished the seller used Speedaf, there is a possibility I'll be using the item since 20th December last year. Let's hope it doesn't "disappear" as the second package to do that last year (got refund by the way) by same SG post guys.

Ifeanyi4491:
