Qcy t10 Finally arrived today was called to pick up at the PO

I like the shape, looks like a black version of Apple's Airpod Pro. I'm patiently waiting for my Edifier TWS NB2 to land.

If ur purchase is above 200 $

Just tell the seller to reduce it to 100$ or below.....

To avoid custom charges....

It's unlikely to happen sha

Some sellers that knows what's up will do this without you even asking. Eg I recently bought a $618 package. FedEx just delivered it and I did not get any custom duty. It turned out the Chinese man said the package is worth $75 grin

Funny I didn't remember asking him to reduce the amount. Lol

No they can't. They don't have the right/power to do that. It's the police and court that can give them the order

Ok. Then OP should go and report to the police.

Just got a job to power a 3-phase medical equipment. The equipment is the first of its kind in Nigeria and third in Africa.
I will post pictures here as the job progresses. I'm using a 15kva 3-phaae online interactive inverter

Congratulations, I'm now curious to see the medical equipment grin

Since you are using a 15kva inverter, I guess it's not a medical imaging device like MRI.

WELL done.

The banks should do more to stop scam. Sometimes they make it look as if they are aiding the scammers. Can't they at least put a lien on that account pending when both parties resolve their issue?

I wish we have CCTVs around many public places. It may not prevent a crime, but at least we may get to see the criminals and hopefully capture them. Sadly this case is dead on arrival...the police will just come and tow vehicle to their station. And demand some ridiculous amount of money when the relative or kin comes for it. The story ends there. What a country!

If you can afford the WF 1000XM3, buy it. It's very good, though I'm not really a fan of earbuds.

It's bulky. I want an earbud that I can use while lying on my bed. This Sony looks ugly and bulky grin

If you don't mind, could you reduce the volume of the outro music next time? I found it a little high. Just my opinion by the way. You did an awesome job and thanks for including the link to buy grin

The airpods max are not a bang for your buck.
Overpriced with gimmicks that'll make non tech savvy people empty their wallet.
WTF is high fidelity and computational audio?
How's that different from lossless audio??
They even made the ear cups a big deal.
If you have to charge 500 bucks for a pair of headphones, add a protective case in the box na, not that bra.

I own the Sony WH-1000XM4, Bose QC35 ii, beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250Ω, Audio Technica M50x and other headphones.

Hope to cop the Anker Soundcore life Q30 soon. Heard it's pretty good budget headphones.

Life of an audiophile lol.

You are truly an audiophile. I'm looking at the EDIFIER NB2 TWS with active noise canceling. Though I know earbuds noise canceling features cannot be compared to that of the headsets. Bose quiet comfort is on a class of its own. Wanted to buy the Sony WF-1000XM3 earbud (dunno why Sony likes all these complex naming pattern) but was turned off by the lack of waterproof and the bulky design.

Currently using Tronsmart Spunky Beat earbuds. Earbuds is nice, just lacks ANC and the touch control is as erratic as ever - it is downright out of control. But the sound production is pretty cool , bass is super cool with AptX and the cost is still under $40

Any idea why lead acid battery manufacturers don't usually state the number of cycles their battery can do on their specification sheet? Are they shy or just downright sneaky? grin

Good Day House,
I have some 150 watts (5 pcs) panels that I am using for my solar system and planning to add more, I will like to confirm if it is possible to add different panel watts say 250/300 watts panels to the present system considering am using Fangpusun 70 amps MPPT charger.

If you can closely match the open circuit voltage (VOC) of the 250/300w panel then you are good. Though you may lose some power due to mismatch, but your overall yield will be much better than running only the five 150watts.

So in practice, most VoC range of 150w is from 18v to 20v and that of 250w is from 36v to 40v. So if you connect two 150w in series and parallel it with the other two, you will have one left unconnected. You may need one more 150w to balance up the VoC then you can parallel with a 250w or 300w. The power loss then will be minimal. Still better than running only the five 150 watts cool

Or to avoid the headache, just buy more 150w or sell off the 150w and go full 300w or 250w.

Elitesplanet:
Hello Guys, i will love to make an enquiry, Ordering and Shipping a Laptop and a Phone worth 1300USD via Aliexpress does it warrant clearance from Nigerian Custom or will it be delivered to my nearest NIPOST Office without custom clearance?

Every goods undergo custom clearance. I guess your question is "will it have custom duty to be paid for it?" If that is the question, the answer is not sure but likely. The custom duty thing is a bit random, but the possibility that a good will get one increases with the perceived worth of the goods. Oh yeah, the custom guys are now not fooled by the declared value, they just randomly tag a duty to a good. You may get lucky and it will escape that, but if you are that worried about it, why not look for a trusted third party shipper (don't know of any) that you can use and let the shipper worry about that? cool

Goodluck.

Use WISH

They have better and affordable rings

Most real life reviews of things bought in WISH that I have seen is generally negative. Most of their products are not original or just not well made. I think @ oladele239 is better off shopping at AliExpress.

@ oladele239, just log into AliExpress and browse through their plethora of jewelries and check out those with many reviews. Hint, check number of orders vs reviews left. Eg a product that sold 20,000 times and have only 6 five star reviews is certainly worth avoiding as the other reviews not seen must've been negative hence the reason the seller decided to cut it off. Goodluck.

How do someone gets so know which shipping company a seller shipped with?

In AliExpress, go to Account > Orders> Tracking, and you will see the carrier the seller used to ship your item.

Good day everyone, I’m about to buy somethings on taoboa through an agent on Superbuy can anyone tell the cost of shipping something of 6kg to Nigeria with aramex

It's China, no fixed price for ANYTHING. You just negotiate and negotiate till you get what you liked cool

But if Superbuy is doing it for you may want to check their freight calculator https://www.superbuy.com/en/page/query/freight/

Hello, please is it okay to buy fairly used battery? (Not lifepo4)

Pros

1) It leaves less hole in your pocket- cost effective.
2) A good way to buy more for less or even use premium brands without breaking the bank.

Cons

1) You can't really tell whether you are getting a good deal or not as some batteries may have been vastly abused/extensively used, and most sellers will never divulge all information they know about the said battery.

2) It's used, one should not expect them to behave like brand new tongue

My recommendation: Only buy if seller is willing to give you a sort of guarantee to test if the batteries are ok (ok in the sense of it being fairly used, one should manage expectations here). Because the major way to find out is by using it.

Or give you some months (say 6 months) guarantee that the batteries won't perform below par. Before you do this deal, you gotta trust the person selling it to stand by their word (kinda hard to get in Naija grin

)
