See, the guy na fake. AE don't really vet sellers like it's done on eBay, Amazon etc. Heck, the Chinese government don't even have punitive laws to discourage such. To the Chinese, it's seen as a thing of pride to outsmart others, mostly in cunning ways.

So the red flags for that guy is that the store was recently opened, probably in preparation for Black Friday and gadget Monday sales. The second red flag is that the items are dirt cheap, those items will most likely be fake.

So here is what happens. You're not the only person that will be attracted by the "juicy offers", at least a million other shoppers likely are. So if each one of you buys 10 dollars worth of item from his store, that makes 10 million dollars. He will ship the item of course, but it'll be fake. The purchase protection is what he is banking on. Not many AE shoppers know about BP and so it always run out on their profile without they knowing it. Also not everyone has the luxury of watching the last few minutes of BP expiry with the hope of filing for dispute the moment it runs out. Not many buyers know that you can file dispute for fake items.

These are the categories of people that this seller plan to capitalize on. If out of a million buyers, 500 thousand failed to file dispute as at when due and funds have already been released to the seller.

Four years ago in preparation for Black Friday on AE, I had spotted this store with dirt cheap prices and I bought a Bose Sound link Mini I had planned to acquire that year.

Come and see how disappointed I was when was delivered was total fake and imitation. I had to make a video evidence back to AE to refund my dues. After Black Friday, I wanted to write reviews to expose the seller, alas the store no longer exists - It's like the store was in existence for just like one month.

I was later to buy the certified Soundlink Mini from another reputable seller.

[color=#0000ff]Make I add Zenith Bank join. [/color]

Exobank isn't a very serious bank. Mailing the custocare does not guarantee that I'll get response in record time. I don't wanna waste my time with those guys.

And worse still, Ecobank charged 400 naira to the dollar. I just calculated it now using the amount I was debited.

I guess Zenith's 200 USD cap at 390 naira to the dollar is the way to go.

ceaser:
So I guess I was right after all. I tried a 2,800 naira purchase on Ecobank and was turned down. I've made purchases nearing 10k on the card in the past four days or thereabout.

So I guess it's safe to say that their cap is around that kain 10,000 naira or 25 USD. Abbysmal, for lack of suitable words.

Sadly I squandered that small cap trialing Ecobank card on inconsequential items. Now that I need to get the important stuffs, I'm outta juice.

Make Monday come make I obtain my Zenith card.

Each tile is rated 30 watts, the voltage isn't indicated though. But it'll be interesting to know if the efficiency at 30 watts is as good as that from flat panels currently in use widely.

Midex88:
What site is this pls

ceaser:
This is really nice. Even with junction box and MC4. Very neat and good aesthetics.

It's likely gonna be deadly expensive for now sha.

I have some questions to make troubleshooting easier.

1) Did you buy the battery new? --YES ITS NEW

2) What is the total load (total device power) connected to the inverter?---200watts approximately

3) Do you have any idea the maximum charging current and voltage of the inverter? Do you know the cut off voltage of this inverter? That is the lowest voltage that it cuts off the battery?-- NO TO ALL

4) Do you usually run the inverter with NEPA or generator?- NEPA

If generator, do you have any idea the frequency produced by this generator?


If NEPA, do you experience low voltage a lot in your 'hood?-160V minimum... usually around 180-203V

Dellaxlogistic:
For shipping out of the country with 30% deal can never go south. For custom and other agencies clearing, it's either we get it done or not. And if the job is not done, why do I need to hold on to your money? If the shipping is on its way to Nigeria just notify me before it arrives, we get it done without any problem at all.. And if it is already here too before you notify us, we find a way around it. Be rest assured we are building a relationship that should last for a long time so far we both are still in this business.

Dellaxlogistic:
I give 30% off normal DHL price for international shipping and door to door delivery . If your items enter Nigerian via DHL I can help you clear with Custom, DSS and other agencies. Thank you

I posted something earlier about that spaceX guy (Elon Musk) planning something of this sort. But I don't think this is his own exact concept.

His is flat tiles, but this seems to follow the traditional undulating roof format, which makes it more beautiful, that is if it can guarantee adequate electricity output from varying illumination that will occur on the exposed surfaces.

But the pictures look high definition like it's CGI. If they are real pictures, then that's cool evolution.

Dellaxlogistic:
DHL express extremely discounted price

Valto:
this is nice. solar roofing sheets but those curves might make it lose some efficiency.

It seems the problem with logistic right now is more of NIPOST than Singpost or AESS. Accepted that covid had it's own toll on them but they seem to be trying their best to get items across.

NIPOST here however seems to have enjoyed the lockdown (salary without work) so much so that they are not willing to get back to normal and routine work of transporting and delivering parcels within the country. At least we have gotten stories of guys here that got to the post office to insist that their arrived parcel (according to tracking) be searched for, something which they did and found out it had gathered dust in their storage. It seems Lagos people are not forwarding parcels to other PO nationwide, or if they do then they are doing it in trickles. I strongly believe that many of our pending deliveries are like that.

Do they have a Twitter handle that someone could bombard then to force 'em to giddy up?

adanny01:
Like how much is the customs fees for a phone and at what stage will I pay.

I have found the a phone I want to buy, with AliExpress standard shipping is about 79+k on one seller and another seller is 78+k via DHL (overall cheapest). If I will pay duties of 5k or less, I will do DHL but more than that would be a deal breaker.

I need an idealistic amount of duties.

I just tried GTB card just now. Is no longer working....telling me to contact my card provider. It seems they block card transactions on GTB. And other option Guys?
When last did u use it to make payment

feflo:
Many thanks for your apt reply

ceaser:
That's all that's required.

I'm opening a savings account.

Although there is a modification to it. I had no NEPA bill (I don't have business with useless NEPA, I have only God and His freely given solar energy to thank). So according to the custocare agent, if I open the account without NEPA bill, the account will be called at 500k max inflow and balance. That can however be modified later when I'm able to provide a NEPA bill.

Olamed89:
Do zenith bank offer zero balance account like gtb?

Getting late to Zenith bank on Friday, I collected an account opening mandate from the custocare. I've filled in the form and instructed it be returned first thing on Monday.

I've jumped ship to Zenith as I no longer enjoy the guarantee from GTB.

Abigai:
please bros, how long can this 12v lifepo4 lithium battery back up or last.

SirNeroDee:
No qualms sha... Na dis useless corona cause am.. It's been long since I last needed to open a dispute.

SirNeroDee:
For no 1, I think they were the one who asked me to fill in the refund amount I wanted as I opened dispute.. And I asked for full refund.. I didn't know of any Aliexpress law court where I could counter anything..
No 2 isn't possible at all.. Like how can I lose that percentage of money cause of fall in Naira??
It just doesn't make any sense

Xender10:
it's a minor item so I didn't collect the money. Does it mean the item would never get to me?

Adefowowe89:
At which rate where you refunded please
