Pls what does it mean that my order is with last mile carrier, is it talking of post office? Cus mine is stuck at that since 29th last month. Should I go to post office??

Not bad to go. I have a shipper that did not inform me my goods are in the country. I was passing their warehouse when I decided to go in and ask if my package has arrived, it turned out my goods has been there for the past two full weeks with my numbers clearly noted on it. So you can imagine what can happen when you move packages on the scale of NIPOST, one item must slip through the cracks and no one will inform the recipient to come and collect it.

I just de read things here from page 400 I'm really scared,
I want to order a 1:1 copy of the airpod pro from Alibaba and I need it within 15days, can you guys please recommend a courier service that can receive the item in china an Ship to naija within 15days.
Help a brother.

Use a third party shipper, most will tell you it'll get here under one to two weeks, but just keep it at the back of your mind it may take a month.

sofiscatedmoron:

sofiscatedmoron:
There are rumours that aliexpress logistics to nigeria will be handled by another logistic companies and no longer aliexpress, due to nipost slow nature,

Source?

globalfanz:
Safeplux is something else. He can run for some of the time but not all the time. He must surely take responsibility for his action one day.
I mentioned it here so that prospective businessmen will not fall into his cheap trap.

Thanks for the heads up

globalfanz:
Safeplux so you are still alive. You are not picking my calls and all promises you made on Whatsapp for the completion of the procurement I gave you for over 5months now is yet to be fulfilled. How can you take up business and disappear? Kindly provide my remaining goods or you balance me. I advise any serious individual not to deal with this dubious guy. At a point he disappeared and was claiming health challenges. My business with him is yet to be completed. Goods woth more than N100,000 is yet to be supplied for the past 5 months.

I don't like businessmen that mix personal issues with business. Even if you are on life support, a business deal should still continue. Nairaland should have a way of verifying people in the business section. One can't just be spending money on scam artists masquerading as businessmen

Samuelscott:
Guy pls what dose this mean

Your item has arrived your local post office. You'll need to go there to pick it.

Peterlove11:
Thanks......My installer installed only Surge Protection but no Circuit Breaker. Am bothered about it. Can someone show me a pix of a CB in a solar installation. Is it possible for a lay man to install it on my own, and if possible how can it be done

See line diagram and see if it's something you can do

Peterlove11:
Please what is the difference between a circuit breaker and a surge protective device.....which is more important in a solar installation?

Circuit breaker opens a circuit (connection) in the event of fault, overload or abnormalities in the circuit. The surge protective device as the name implies protects the circuit against surge from the system (lightning, or just a heavy equipment start or shut down). The two are VERY IMPORTANT in a system.

Ordered 5th May...picked from PO on 9th June

Shipping of some items has improved.

cafedeluv:
Yes, this works. This is exactly what I did when I ordered an item over $100. The order was splitted into 2.
Just chat with the seller.

Great, this is how to survive Nigeria

olopan:
True, at least there is fewer points of failure.

Haaa, sorry is their case, at least moving it to the new house covers for both house

Correct!

olopan:
Good evening Everyone,

Hope our week is up to a great start.

The importance of an SPD can't be over emphasise,
A client called earlier today sounding stressed that her house nearly burnt down, because the washing machine went berserk.

After independent check by three different electricians, it was discovered that there was a surge from the grid and the washing machine which was connected on the grid/heavy consumption panel took the hit.

Our installation is still kicking and performing like it should.

Below are pictures

SPD with a good earth both AC and the DC type together with good lightning arrestor rocks

The other day someone was arguing that their old house has lightning arrestor, why should they put on the new one. The old house is a bungalow and the new one is a storey building. But of course a roadside electrical "engineer" told them there is no need for one at the new house. I just dey observe

Ebaymaikel:
HDRC S608 GPS. 500g. It flies well, camera quality is 720p. I got it to learn how to fly drones tho and it is stable with minimum wind and flies well.

What's the flight time like? I saw 5k range and 30 minute flight. How does that compare to real world situation? You know our Chinese brothers often add "something" to their spec sheet to enable it "persuade" customers to click that buy button


I'm expecting a DJI this month.

Namzy:
I would have done this but I had to crack a wall to pass the wire of the original solar and land lord don warn me not to repeat such as I leave in a flat

Crack am again when landlord no dey

Ebaymaikel:
36 days from despatch to delivery. Had to go to the post office as tracking showed delivered but I hadn't been called. They said they've not entered it into the system that's why they haven't called. Anyways glad I received it. Second time I'm shopping for a drone on AliExpress from the same seller and it's going well so far

What's the make? How's the flying experience? Less than 250g?

shezy14:
Pls how can I buy stuff of 150 dollar on AliExpress with the 100 dollar limit on ATM cards

If I can get a dollar every time this question is asked, I'll be a millionaire. But since I can't, someone just answered this:

Onyeka90210:
1. Barter by Flutterwave virtual dollar card
2. ALAT by WEMA virtual dollar card
3. Wallet Africa virtual dollar card
..... just note that the rate would be at around 500n/dollar.
But there’s no limit, I use barter, and you don’t have to wait 5 working days for a refund, it’s shows within 24hrs.

You can also use two cards to make the payment IF SELLER IS WILLING TO SPLIT THE ORDER INTO TWO.

Gracias

bamdly:
I tire oooo
Although I have collected the items and it still shows delivery failed......I can still win dispute na.....

You can't win dispute on this one.

Lixusheng:
Especially Zenith

Naija bank no dey try.

Chika45:
Please who knows when AliExpress normally refund money after dispute has been won. My is 3days now and I haven't seen anything

3 to 20 business days. Do remember to log into your bank app or online to check if refunded as many Naija banks may not give you an SMS alert when this refund hits your account.

Barezzi:
No shading issues...
The South array is elevated with support and less than 10 degrees, while the West array is flat on my steep roof-I'd say 15 to 20 degrees.

I strongly believe this matter is spiritual!

Spiritual I'll say

Valto:
GBM is worst of them all

True, have seen sixteen numbers of 200AH GBM fail in eight months with loads less than 400w.

Israelicc:
Thank you Sir for taking time to educate. I always tell my clients that if you have solar in mind when you want to build, it's necessary you consider most of the things you've touched on.

Essentially, if you want the array to be roof mounted,
then you have to ensure your roof design is solar compatible. Let the pitch or slope make sense and not look like something that will kill the installer. A slope of between 6⁰ -30⁰ will be perfect. I'm always scared when I have to do installation for clients with the send down the rain roofing.

I also would advise them to make the most of the sun's trajectory if possible so that their roof can face east and west. They would get the best results that way (I stand to be corrected).

If they prefer ground mounts, you could also advise on types of ground mounts that they can opt for, eg. Carport etc.

Having a separate DB for inverter loads is also part of what you'd advise.

This is true. Sadly, most think of putting up alternative power solution after the house is built.

Abalado:
Bro, consider the risk in driving,dry morcel in peace is more better than the honey in trouble....go for the banking job jejeli

How about the risk of working as a teller? There's always risk, if you refuse to take a calculated risk you may just be setting yourself up for mediocre life.

SuleimanKano:
Voltage of System (24)=Inverter=Controller

No solar charge controller?

SuleimanKano:
Inverter 2kva 24V Genus/Synergy/Equivalent
2 Unit of 200/230Ah Tubular/Lead Battery
6 Unit of 300W Solar Panel (wired in parallel)
60A Mppt Solar Charge Controller
Battery Rack & Solar Frame
Cables, Breakers & Accessories.
Cheers

Considering your load, your freezer should be put off by 3-4pm so you can have the desired 5 hrs back up.

Can I ask why the six units of 300w PV have to be wired in parallel?

Unluckrees:
Someone should kindly assist us with the current dollar/naira rates for GTB, First Bank & UBA respectively.

GTB/ZENITH still ₦440/$. Dunno about First Bank and UBA
