So the last group buy before the year ends.
Similar terms as the last groupbuy of february.
Send mail to indicate interest and be added to the telegram group buy channel. Prices are a bit higher now..85 to 92usd per cell. Eves/Rept.
Seafreight 3 to 5months---- naija ports are congested, we waited 1 extra months cos of this the last groupbuy

Skyhigh0455 at yahoo dot com . send your request

I can attest to the port congestion (which I believe is deliberately done to make importers desperate enough to allow themselves be extorted) when a container with my items on it stayed from August till November! Then they made the importer pay extra ₦2m as demurrage.

earthrealm:
That would be possible, on a personal arrangment.best with whoever is in your city.
Shouldnt be a big deal.
However it may be for another groupbuy, as this present one is almost concluded...almost 200cells ordered ......omo men dey here wey believe lithium dieeeeeeeeee

In present day DIY energy storage system, in lithium we trust

bigrovar:
Although in my own case it was Sukam (a defunct Indian brand and competitor to luminous) I can attest to the rugged nature or Indian inverters. The pretty much use the same components. If there is one thing negative to be said about them it's they are extremely boring and just get the job done. That and the charge current which is usually low (so year 2 things)

The reason for this is most Indian inverters are designed primarily for the Indian market and thus are calibrated for the Minimum battery setup needed.

They try to ensure they stay within the 10% recommended charge rate of FLA which is the common battery type in India.

100% correct!

The inverter is a workhorse, super boring, but gets the job done. The boring display is taken care off by addition of an energy meter.

You just can't play with any settings, but this inverter is kept at a place most non premium inverter will fail- no external cooling, dust prone area. But the lil donkey kept trudging on. Lol

OkoroPeugeot:
Who has used this inverter?

Luminous ion 1.5kv.

What is the idle consumption like? Cannot find anything online

Yet to check the idle consumption.

I've used one for 7 years running 24/7 and powering two fridges during the hours of 10AM to 3PM

Inverter is just so super rugged, but its charging current is pretty low (around 13A).

That's usually the case of most Indian inverter of this capacity.

mohlanforex:

desmont004:

Good news

sonssyo:
U be high profile buyer,may be platinum or diamond! I guess

Yeah, I'm platinum. Didn't really think that that counts

Horladayod1:
I did but the dispute was closed. Aliexpress claims the item is with Nipost, that I should get it from them. Nipost said they didn't have it, I went to their post office more than 3 times.

I guess you can consider the package lost.

I haven't had a case of missing item that I did not win dispute on.

Yous:
It has been over a year now

Over a year? The item is probably lost. I hope you opened dispute after the purchase protection which is like 90 days after the item is shipped.

Lekan111:
Is their any penalty for leaving ones goods at the post office for about 2 weeks after arrival?

None, if it is NIPOST. If it is Speedaf your item may be in China if you waste up to a week.

obimind:
Instant power drawn from second life 600AH lithium ion battery bank.

That's some power draw! Me likey!

Make una dey use escrow o....I no wan hear "I sent Mr So and So ₦10,000,000 to make payment on AliExpress, now I'm blocked on WhatsApp"

Lixusheng:

Well, this looks so good you just have to buy it twice!

Did anyone cop a good deal on 11/11?

Ifesinachi22:
Thanks bro.

My GTB is already dormant. I've even forgotten the account number.
I will use Firstbank or Eco.

Please what of customs. How much will they likely charge me?

Search for reputable third party shipper to avoid crazy custom duty or outright theft of your device when it enters Nigeria.

Also you are better off reactivating your GTB as they are often preferred to the likes of Eco Bank for international dollar payment using naira denominated account.

Tomorrow is 11:11

Maks27:
good morning sir
You asked of it was the contact points that is faulty and I said Yes so I wanted to know if it is fixable, several phone engineers said it can't be repaired

I'm afraid the repair guys may be right. If under warranty see if you can return it, if it is ok to do that.

luvlyoracle:

Add jiji .ng in front of the web address

jboixxx:
[color=#0000ff]There's always a processing timeline given by all sellers. If you cancel an order within that timeline, they are at liberty to accept or reject your cancellation, even, if you used a reason not ok with them, they may not accept it.

Sometimes, the order might have been shipped but haven't been updated on the app. So, it's normal. AliExpress won't even address your complaint of you report such case except for a valid reason. [/color]

I know, the annoying ones are those ones that will ship immediately you cancel. Maybe your cancellation pushes them to update. I've only had one time a seller did this, other times I hardly place order on items I don't want to buy.

The thing is AE protects more of sellers than buyers. Alibaba don't even protect buyers one bit. Lol.

Most things I bought on Alibaba missed their review period and Alibaba closes review before I got the items. So I can't even review, the last item I bought, they closed the order and I gave the seller 3 star. Seller chatted me and told me to update it to 5 stars because the "boss is angry with her". Lol.

You can only update review once. I told her I'll only update it when I get my item. She insisted that I change it, I pointed out to her that I only have one chance to edit my review, that I'll do that once I see the product. She wasn't happy, but how do they expect me to give 5 stars on an item I'm yet to see?

I see Amazon allows buyers to update reviews 3 years after buying an item, that's what I like. They'll only give you 45 days or 30 days and you can't review again.

Alibaba and AE are just there to make sellers rich, so every person should do solid research before clicking buy, because if the item is bad, you can't even ship it back as cost of shipping is simply outrageous.

Maks27:
yes sir that's what I mean, Can it be repaired all the engineers here are saying unless I see a bad airport then I will remove the stuff

I'm confused on this reply, can you rephrase it?

Ordered a Fiil T1XS, let's see if it lives up to the hype

Maks27:
Please can this be fixeed
The charging sensors removed for both ears

What do you mean by "charging sensors"? Do you mean the charging contact points (that metallic connection that makes contact with the pins in the charging case) ? Also your photos ain't in focus, so kinda hard to see what you mean.

Meister:
Look at this one trying to lie to me even to the extent of sending me a fake screenshot, it was after all these that the bingo finally cancelled it

He is sure of 1 star, they don't care. AE makes opening a new account easy for sellers. Once an account has many 1 star reviews, they'll close and open another with a new name.

Meister:
It'll still take 3 to 20days and that's if the seller agrees to the cancellation, a number of sellers will still send an order after you cancel it

I don't understand why many AE sellers are like the bolded. You'll cancel an order they refused to ship after 8 days, the next day you'll see "Shipped"

thatebonyiboy:
Hey guys.

I want to order a phone via aliexpress. (Redmi Note 10 pro).

How possible is it that I'll get the product here in Nigeria?

And would i be paying any extra charge aside what i pay on aliexpress?

If you don't get your product and tracking shows you didnt, you'll very likely get your money back.

Extra charge is something you can't really tell until items arrive in Nigeria. You can also avoid all the drama when you use a third party shipper. I don't as a matter of principle, recommend any third party shipping company as I'm not affiliated with any. This is because in logistics things often don't turn out the way we want and I don't want anyone saying that I was the one that recommended any. Always do your own research before using any. The rule is never to use any random person that claims to ship as they are likely scammers. Use reputable ones that have been around and have loads of reviews. Cheers.

Mstick:
18$ for the cost of item plus 44$ for shipping, the item was sent to me as a sample so I can purchase the product in the future.

And I paid the 18$ for the hair to be wigged but the hair is free, I was told that custom revalued the package and said it worth 200$

Next time use third party shipper, they may be slower but you don't have to experience any issues with custom and crazy duties.

odimbannamdi:
Hello boss,

Any idea whether this inverter has a charging functionality? If yes, how many amps?

I have gone through the link again, but I can't seem to find any information about it.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks

No, it doesn't have charging functionality.

WHITELIGHTER:
481 today

I guess the economy is doing "well"

earthrealm:
Hmmm nice one.
Whats the rate for this gtb virtual card??.
I know physical gtb mastercard is about 460naira

The physical card rate is actually ₦480

iPresh4s:
For a product of 25,000

The seller will change it to 33,500

Remove discount and end up selling for 27,250

Also shipping is pretty sluggish after 11:11.

Too many people falling for the gimmick of "discount" makes for a pretty swift business with the sellers smiling to the bank

Ray1251:
Please how is AliExpress 11 11 like I need to buy shoes but ,should I wait ,do things get really cheap ?

Most of those huge discount you see on 11.11 ain't real. To get a real deal, you should've already known the price of what you want to buy prior to 11.11 or you'll end up buying goods that was inflated days before 11.11, and then "heavily discounted" for the 11.11

Eg this earbud was originally $42.64 from this store...but due to 11:11 they have raised it to $43.48 so you can get an 11:11 "discount" .
