I visited the Speedaf office to pick up my package. As explained by the rep, the owners of packages whose tracking numbers end with O (Cainiao Economy) will have to visit their office for pickup henceforth within 7 days of notification. On the other hand, owners of packages whose tracking numbers end with R (AE Standard Shipping) are eligible for home delivery.

I see,

They called me around 5pm today for collection. I arranged with them for tomorrow. The caller said they open 8:30am to 9am.

So yes, I believe they work on Saturdays.

By the way, there is this combined parcel of 6 items that AE shipped using Singapore Post. It was shipped around 20 days ago. I took delivery of it in the post office today after getting a "failed delivery" tracking notification yesterday. I was not called, but I went myself, trying to be proactive since there is a Singapore Post item that has gone missing since June and NIPOST did not call me despite "arrival at destination country" notification.

just 8.30 am to 9.30am? u mean only for 1 hour

Why would anti spam bot ban me for 3-4 days na? Simply because a member here asked me how to get 3rd party courier guys and I advised him to check importation threads here on tech market. Mods pls did I commit any offence? Na wa o

Just got a txt msg from speedaf to come pick my package at their office in area 11 garki. A 64gig flash drive I bought for just 2k

I will update the house when I pick it up

Benjaniblinks:
How do you do this?

there are 3rd party courier agents here on nairaland in this tech market section, chat one of them up, get the link of what u intend to buy either from ebay or amazon and paste the link in their thread, ask him how much will he charge to get the stuff for u to naija in naira, if it's ok by u, pay and in 2 weeks or less if u are lucky, u get ur stuff

I have been receiving my orders via the post office but lately a lot of my orders didn't deliver so I had to open disputes. I ordered for an item about 3 weeks ago and someone called me today that he is to deliver an item of mine from AliExpress, I was shocked at first because the normal thing was for me to get notified from the PO that I have packages to be picked up. I eventually met the man and I got my package, so I asked him why he had to deliver it himself and not me going to pick up at the PO, he said AliExpress doesn't use the PO anymore but they use agents. I was wowed.
Now the question is, are packages safe with so called agents? Is PO not better because they can be held responsible, what if the agent decides not to deliver and claimed it has been delivered....? I mean this is Nigeria, it will be difficult to lay claims that item hasn't been delivered by the agent in case of dispute.
Just airing my take on the new development I just discovered, opinions are welcome...

nothing to be afraid of, they are courier agents from speedaf courier services. No fear

Poopypants:
I have seen people here say , speedaf tracking starts with NG, well my tracking placed some days ago starts with NG, but it is showing oct 24th, as estimated delivery time.. is this normal ?

it's normal, estimated delivery date does not necessarily mean that is the day they will deliver, it means they will deliver on or before that date.

My estimated date was aug 30th, but I got my order 4 days before the date. Its normal bro

BoldassBadasser:
Can they ship from the US to Nigeria??

u mean speedaf? I don't know really.

I use 3rd party guys to buy and ship from eBay and amazon

I placed an order for a rechargeable cordless golden hair clippers from aliexpress precisely on 7th of this month aug, and I got my order yesterday 27th aug. I got a call from a courier agent from speedaf that my order is ready.
I asked him where he was he told me he was at area 1 garki, I asked him to wait for me at the shopping center area 1 garki as I live just a stone throw away, I got to him and picked my order.

Date of order: 7th aug
Date of delivery to me; 27th aug

I got my order exactly 20 days from the day I placed my order

Speedaf is bae

HowGlorious:
AliExpress service does remove negative feedbacks like the way mod here remove our comments, not a guarantee

there are some negetive feed backs and reviews I read there too. Do they also adjust the stars for each shop and seller too? I think not

Whenever you deal disputes on AE especially for fake items that you can establish and convince AE team of the "fakeness", never select "return item to seller" as an option. Neither should you agree with the seller that asks you to return it.

First, the seller breached protocol and trust by sending you a fake or substandard item and will be rightly punished for doing do by the AE team. It is therefore not your headache to send the item back because that will cost you money and the sellers know that fact, reason why they bring up the suggestion in order to frustrate your efforts to return it and eventually make you to give up on the trade dispute, moving on to accept your loss and licking your wounds.

Second, such items are yours to keep. And you still demand your money be refunded in full. In worst case scenario, you can negotiate a partial refund, an amount that will be dictated by you yourself. The seller might plead for a 50 50 split or may even wanna cheat you to a 60 40 split. It is you that will refuse to be railroaded. Stand firm on full refund or at worst an 80 20 split in your favour.

About 6 years ago during my heydays of hunting for a Bluetooth speaker, I came across an AE seller who listed Bose Soundlink 2 for a very discounted price, I think around 14k as against the 40k price of the original. It was AE 11/11 shopfest, so discounts are not unexpected. All the descriptions and pictures of the item suggested the real deal (for I had a friend who owned one). So I paid and got sent a dud, a poor imitation with abysmal performance. In less than 24hrs of receiving and testing the item, I borrowed the original from my friend, made a video of the two side by side with audio commentary on the stark differences thereby establishing beyond reasonable doubt the counterfeit in what the seller sent. I also took screenshot of his description and pictures of the item on his listing and how it seriously contrasts with what he sent. I uploaded the video alongside my dispute and also sent him a copy in a mail provided by him to go thru his folly.

I got to keep the counterfeit and still got my full refund. I shopped around for the original from another seller a year after. Meanwhile the counterfeit still works till now. It's just that the bass is wack and the battery backup has worsened, almost non-existent that you need to keep it plugged into the mains to keep it working, but the speaker is fairly loud. It also has an SD card slot, FM radio and poor battery backup, which are all absent in the authentic Bose Soundlink.

I later discovered that the seller had operated his account for just two months before I patronised him and he apparently opened the account against the 11/11 price crashes and I fell victim of his scam. The shop was no longer available shortly after I gave him my damning review. He had probably ran off to open another fake shop account.

wow, quite an interesting read, kudos for sharing. Honestly before I buy any product from aliexpress I first read the reviews, I check out the store, I check how many stars it got to be sure of it's authenticity. Reviews are very important, the more positive reviews I see, the more confident I get to buy from the seller

U mean a whole 16 still remain? That means dem no dey f**k na, nothing new, make dem enjoy abeg

Women, confused and unable to define what exactly they want from us.
Pretence is their second name.

Pere no smart at all for babe side, we bayelsans Dey sharp for erema side, pere fall hand, no be so him for take enter Maria, everything don dabaru.

Mikky do u buy from banggood? I need a product from there, if u do then let's talk

Hello Duke, do u buy from banggood? I want a product there.

Where is the link

Different currencies, different way of living, different cost of products and services.
Rent is expensive in the US and UK than Nigeria
While food, internet and other basic things (aside accommodation) are cheaper there than Nigeria. My take

Chai, praise fall hand. What a fuckery

CoolJulian:
Did Uchenna Kanu play?

yes

We lost 1-0
We lacked that cutting edge in the final 3rd, though we played a bit well, driving the ball into the opposition half well, but that cutting edge was lacking, uchenna kanu did her part, odega was not visible the way I want her to be, the Jamaicans didn't play better but took their chance when it matters most, unlike us they found the net with the few clear chance they got.
I didn't see oshoala, was she not with the team? The coach needs to do more. Let's see our next matches. NB the Jamaicans defended well.
