Any third-party shipper to recommend?

I recently ordered vehicle parts on AliExpress and one of the stores I bought from has some other parts I need.

Now I want to buy from him again but he's not ready to list the items on AliExpress....he said they don't use AliExpress for such items with lots of money, and I am not ready to send over 1m to someone I don't know beyond whatsapp....

please how can I go around such transaction. I urgently need the parts.

Meanwhile, out of almost 20items purchase over a month ago....he's the only one that his ordered have been delivered.

Please guyz....some of items are showing Accepted by Last miles Courier.....over 10days and no contact from anyone.

Please what should I do

I don't know what's going on, but any gadget i order from ali doesn't get to me, but if i order useless stuff i will receive it

The last two two things i ordered, i haven't received any, the 90 days period given by Ali has expired, I'm about to get a refund

The tracking info is still stuck at dispatch to overseas.

What's going on exactly, where's the problem from

The sellers are not happy and complaining too

As a banker with over 11 years experience I advise you to please resign and take the business risk. Giving out your car on hire purchase or rent would be your worst mistake . And you know weekend only is almost impossible. Best of luck.

I visited a client yesterday and right from d staircase I could smell acid from batteries. I quickly ran up to check up the batteries only to find out that all 4 batteries are hot including the cables from solar panels and the bottom part of d cc was a bit hot too.
However, I disconnected one cable from d panels from d cc bc I suspected overcharging.

N.B : A freezer was connected to it during this ordeal.

Inverter is hybrid 2.4kva psw mercury.

Pls wat could b d problem?
Help pls

I had a similar experience with the guy and I even opened a thread about his scam. Once in a while, I see new "likes and shares" on my old thread and smile to myself knowing that another "mugu" has entered his trap.

He has many accounts on nairaland to upvote himself and attack those who complain about his scams. I believe that is why he has survived so far. For me, he sold a 55" LG to me for 170K some years back. He brought the TV down himself protectively packed like a dead body. When we set the TV up, it had several thick and unsightly lines which were not in the picture he showed to me while we were negotiating. He pretended that the line got there as a result of movement during transportation which I knew was a lie having personally transported TV almost unprotected on the back seat of my car from Alaba to Ibadan at least twice with no damage.

ceaser:
Damn! This is crazy.

As to him knowing how to take nice pictures of TV to look attractive and you get sent something that looks old, i suspect (just an assumption) that he probably takes pictures of the good ones from some nearby shop, then sends the scam down to the buyer.

The easiest ones for 'em to fix and sell as good are LG products because of high demand and availability of cheap and imitation spare parts.

The Modus Operandi with your guy and with me looks like variations of a specific script.

ceaser:
I indeed fell flat for the scams on LGTV in one of the TV threads on the TV section, dealing with one Acunon guy like that. Of course what attracted me to the TV was the apparent power efficiency not minding the fact that it was fairly used. Plus the touted claim by the guy that fairly used foreign (Europe) TVs generally including the ones he sells are much more energy efficient and better than the new models sent down to Nigeria by the original LG manufacturers themselves. In fact he claims that European and US version of all TV manufacturers are far better than the versions sent to Africa and Nigeria from the same manufacturer because of the laxity of our standard organisations; a claim which made sense of course.

And so I saw this 42 inch model he advertised as 2019 edition and the specs he claimed were so inviting. I googled it and boy, I read more attractive specs. It's a smart TV with much more specs than a 60 inch Hisense smart I've had for 2 years which I thought was a great hit.

Sent him 85k and I must confess I was already imagining the smart life I was gonna have with this stuff. I was gonna be able to Netflix, browse the net and watch music videos at night with Bluetooth earphones on without disturbing wifey's sleep, WiFi direct, sorround sound etc.

Third day, it arrived and I was shocked! See scratches here and there. And I was like WTF! I read some reviews from sellers that the TVs he sent to 'em were as good as new, so what on earth was this?

On further examination, I saw clear signs (screw holes and labels and plastic edges) that indicated this thing was worked on. The model number on the sticker was even different from the model number on the damn screen!

Okay, I convinced myself that as long as the internals provided me with what I wanted, I can live with the flaws of the outside.

I come start to Netflix o, na in I get another shocker. Netflix was just blurry video. Okay lemme mirror my phone, same blurry response on the TV screen. Ah! Wàhálà dey. I come start to dey Google diagnostics on day one of purchasing a TV. Suggestions showed that either the screen resolution of the TV was incompatible with Netflix or my phone's 1080p movie resolution. Sho! For a Full HD TV! This pointed to the fact that the screen may have been replaced with a 720p type. Another is that the board may have been replaced with one that does not support that full 1080p resolution.

I contacted the guy and he was telling me some technical stuffs that weren't so convincing, me being a tech geek myself but I still tried to believe him with the hope that things will be good. I updated the TV to the latest firmware as he suggested but the nonsense no stop. After updates, the buttons of the included remote decided not to work accordingly.

To cut a long story short, the TV was indeed useless to me, so he asked me to send it back and being a meticulous person, I packed it veeeery well and included more protective layers than he sent it down with.

Dude called me after and claimed that the TV I sent back now had a line on one side of the screen. How does a TV develop such within 72hrs for goodness sake? Well, all I just aimed at was getting back the money even if not in full. So I settled for 55k payback from this dude (that's 30k less within 5 days). I was pissed with myself for expecting so much from such arrangement, so the following day out of annoyance I went to pick up a "made for Nigeria and Africa" android TV from a walk in shop for 132k and I've had rest of mind using it ever since.

What I learnt from that experience was that most fairly used and maybe new LG and few Sony products are easily repairable and imitated in the Nigerian market because of the high demand for such. In fact, fake and Chinese made replacement boards and screens for such abound in Alaba so it's quite easy for guys to couple boards and TV screens from different models into a casing from a totally different model and just slap a sticker from another desired model on it, then sell to unsuspecting victims like me. It's sad.

This story is fairly long, but it was a traumatic experience for me and I licked my wound in silence that time. This event by my friend here just unlocked the memory and I can really identify with his pain and disappointment too.

samnaija:
I disagree, no one is a baby you should make your research your self before buying a product. Besides it was greed that brought the buyer to just emmanuel.
Every nigerian knows fouani is the original importer of genuine lg products, but he chose alaba boys because of price.
Warning only buy from alaba boys when you have done your own investigation. This is greed plain...just emmanuel don start.

sintolord:
Just Emmanuel have been advertising LG inverter ac for sale. I bought 2 from him, only to realize that this AC's are not made by LG and they don't have inverter compressor. See the the pictures below. The company that manufactured the AC is called LGEFF Electronics. I tried googling about this company and came up with nothing. After installing it, the AC behaved exactly like the normal AC with a normal surge. The LG logo print on the AC is poorly done. Each time I compare these AC's with the ones I bought from LG outlet(Fouani), there is a world of difference. I wasted money. I would have bought Hisense inverter AC for the same price. I called just Emmanuel and told him about all my observation, he was insisting the AC is made by LG & it has inverter compressor.
I also bought 10mm2 PV cable from him at a very cheap price, only to discover that, it's not 10mm2 but somewhere btw 6mm2 & 8mm2. Olopan can bear witness. I personally will never have any dealing with Just Emmanuel.

ojeysky:
I think WECO is Europe and coincidentally the few Chinese I have dealt with honoured their warranty.

ojeysky:
Is WECO Chinese? One of the reason I find MPP to be good..... They honour their warranty very well.
