Why do Nigerians usually used the word "hard earned" when talking about money??
I've never seen any citizen of any other country use it.
I found it very annoying, as it shows how much value we place on money.

Because we are Nigerians.

Was the solar panel placed on the ground?

what about investment with 16% ROI every month?

Depends, you should do your due diligence before entrusting anyone with your hard earned cash.

my 3 years of working for this company I encounter people with doubts but later end up being too investors.i suggest if you don't want to invest with a company instead of talking down about the company it's good to keep mute because the way you treat other people's business that's the way others will do yours.so my advice to you is if you don't like financial freedom leave those interested.and please learn the difference between a Ponzi scheme and what we do it will go a long way..

Don't bother convincing me- you won't. You know this is a ponzi you are promoting; but as long as it is currently paying, you don't care. I've seen so many carefully crafted ponzi fail. Google NOSPETCO Oil and Gas. They had an office in Elephant Building Marina. I saw, first hand, what went down.

Run from wema bank, they just charged me #445/$ ����

These banks with crazy rates

muhamm3d:
Bro, which shipper or forwarder do you use please cos its been a constant headache trying to look for a honest and reliable one. THANKS.

Right now I use DHL and FedEx. I'm tired of shipper issues.

Rajioba1:
So guys what should I do now that they declared the dispute invalid?

Wait for the second judgement which has a date in the future (I'm assuming you opened dispute immediately your purchase protection expired). Or is this the final judgement? If yes, then there is nothing you can do.

saint2ace:
I have a prag 2.5kva inverter and 2 150ah Ritar batteries connected in series, but I've noticed a large gap in voltage on both batteries. When fully charged but with grid power on, one reads 14.22v while the other reads 13.45v.

When load is put on it there's almost a 3v difference as I've noticed one go below 10v while the other is still on 12.45v.

I have a 24v balancer hooked up to the system and both batteries are brand new, same batch and production dates.

What could be responsible, cos I've never since this before, but when separated each battery charges to 14.5v and maintains a relatively good voltage but when put together the wahala starts......

The one that goes below 10v is bad. I guess even in same batch some cell of a battery may fail before the other does.

Phone call

Oh, that may not be legal fee, just a worker trying to make money.

stanisbaratheon:
I've not paid

How did you get the info on payment? Via text? Or phone call?

stanisbaratheon:
It didn't come through NIPOST though.

Talking about how low the charge was, similar to NIPOST service charge...did you pay into the official account of the courier agency abi you paid to their agent without receipt

stanisbaratheon:
I was asked to pay 1200 as customs clearance charges.

That looks like NIPOST service charge fee.

Rajioba1:
OK.... I won't cancel it, I will just wait for 5 days and reapply?

The AliExpress team will produce another verdict after the date given. You don't have to reapply if you didn't cancel dispute.

Jecyangel:
Thanks if I may will it be much or is there anyway to determine how much one can pay?

Tell the shipper to reduce the actual cost.
It may or may not help. But the custom duty varies between 10% to as much as 20%.

Summary, duty in Nigeria is R.A.N.D.O.M

Rajioba1:
So I should cancel and wait for 5 days?

Wait, you can edit your dispute and add more evidence (if you have any).

Rajioba1:
How will I will o, I got invalid this morning

Open dispute after five days of end of the purchase protection and it will be valid. If you open immediately purchase protection ends, you will get an invalid judgement; this judgement is automatic.

I keep winning dispute. Yet I'm unhappy with it. I need these items

Some suppliers can act very funny sometimes. That was how I placed an order to be shipped via a particular shipping company but the seller changed it all of a sudden, telling me the option he chose was cheaper.

Like what d fvck, didn't I pay for that method of shipping??

Did you agree? I'll tell you then and there that I'll open dispute should you try that

I have an mppt charge controller that has fully charged my good battery on time. In order to use the excess solar power i want to connect the load terminal on the cc to one dead battery then connect the battery to inverter.
How do i set up the load terminal without using the stored energy in the good battery?

Some inverter can offer what you want, once battery is full and there is power, then excess power from solar panel is channeled straight for use. Unless you have such feature in your inverter you are then forced to either manually or automatically switch your battery source from the good one to the bad one, but doing this may result in two things, if your solar charge controller is not the type that can work without battery it'll fry when you are changing battery if the PV is not disconnected. Secondly, the inverter will go off when the sun momentarily goes down and the bad battery is not enough to handle the current load.


But why not use the good battery if your PV is properly sized?

As the battery becomes fully charged, the current will taper down to a value which overcomes the small losses in the float condition and the inverter standby load if turned on. If a load is introduced to the inverter the array will divert current to the inverter, as long as the load current dose not exceed the array output, the battery will remain in its fully charged state. If however the load is greater than the array output, the battery will make up the difference thereby discharging in the amount of the deficit the array cannot support.


Care must be taken to ensure the loads don't exceed the arrays ability by too great a margin, each system is different so getting to know what your system can supply is of paramount importance, watching the battery voltage during such loads can give an indication, if the voltage begins to drop, then the battery is being discharged. If you have a clamp on ammeter the current from the array and the load current can be measured to ensure they are close. Passing clouds will sometimes draw current from the battery but if the arrays output is sufficiently sized it will replenish what was taken out, one has to study the system over time to learn it's limitations and maintain a ballance.

Deluxe8000:
Pls house what suppose to be the cut off load on a charge controller in order not to use the stored energy in the battery?

Read this five times and I'm still confused, care to rephrase this question?

earthrealm:
I think he meant nipost " custom" charges

Oh, I see.

Got two June (28th June) orders today. Order date to today is 52 days. Well, that is considered fast these days

Ashirioluwa:
They are not suppose to charge customs duty on one personal item like phone and computer which is for personal use but they do charge because the Nigerian public are ignorant. The funny part is that they pocket the money for themselves

Most of their custom charges are payable into the official account of with DHL or FedEx or whichever entity that is package is on. I'm yet to see one being paid into a personal account.

dazzy4real:
Yes, i made enquiry about this and they said i have to source for dollar from beurea de change which is quite expensive.

That's why people hardly use that option. Try agents for help, their rate may also not be as friendly as that obtainable from using the debit card from your naira dominated account.

BoltSwith:
Good Day folks. I made an order for a refurbished LG phone since 3rd June using AESS. The phone is repackaged as if new i.e. in pack with earpiece, charger and user manual. I have seen some comments (on some seller's page) by some buyers from other countries that their customs office held back the phone with the reason that the seller lowered the price (i.e quoted a wrong amount on the pack for a brand new phone of that model) to avoid paying some custom duties. The buyer had to go bail the phone with some cash even after explaining that the phone isn't brand new. My questions are:

1). Does such happen with our Nigerian Customs? (Given that it was shipped with AESS).

I was called on Friday (14th Aug) to come pick up an item I ordered 3 weeks after I ordered the phone (through same AESS). After collecting the item, I asked them to check their system if my parcel (the phone) has arrived, I was told that their server has been down since Tuesday (11th Aug).

2). Does the PO computer only have record of parcels in that particular post office OR the computer can check Nipost database for parcels that have been received and registered by Nipost (countrywide)??

The Nigerian custom duty fees is a game of chance and luck. Mr A and Mr B can buy exactly the same product, while Mr A gets his package without duty, Mr B has to pay a huge custom duty. So no guarantee that a package will not get duty until it arrives and didn't get one!

The PC at the PO checks the tracking using internet and not intranet. You, too, can track your package. NIPOST tracking website (https://www.nipost.gov.ng/Track_Trace) these days works when it feels like. You are better off running your tracking yourself using the multiple tracking websites such track24 .net, 17track . net etc.

dazzy4real:
please guys , does anyone knows how one can now shop for a product on aliexpress without this dollar limits placed on our cards monthly? please help if u have any other means.

Open a dorm account. Fund it with dollars. Use the debit card. No limit

semid4lyfe:
Purchase protection expired yesterday on my Aliexpress order made on 16th May & shipped on 18th May via Aliexpress Standard Shipping (Singapore Post)

Today, I opened dispute, uploaded screenshots of the tracking details which was last updated on June 23rd as "Dispatched to Destination Country" and requested for a full refund of USD $32.85 but Aliexpress decided the dispute against me.

USD $32.85 is a lot of money to lose at this point in time.

Pls, how can I win this dispute?

Note : Orders I made after this particular one and were shipped via AE standard shipping (Singapore Post) have all arrived Nigeria and have been picked up by me last month.

I genuinely believe this one has been lost in transit and will never come.

Wait five days after purchase protection has ended to open dispute. If you open it immediately after it has finished, you will automatically get an invalid reply.
