Jumia Global ti take over ..Look at what I just found

Really!!! This is very good. Is it "shipped from overseas"? Please share the link.

Gptech:

Can you confirm if battery and durability are your priorities?

Yes please. The one I'm currently using does not last for 2 hours so I need one that lasts long and durable plus good sound too sha

I showed the woman in charge my national ID card, the woman thought it's ATM card . I blame FG.

The national ID card is actually acceptable. Ask to speak with her boss or contact Nipost online. (Twitter handle @NIPOSTNIG)

Cassie74:
Pls if your ntel reception isn't strong enough... will buying mifi help? I can't browse with it in my house but have strong signal outside my compound.

I get better performance on phone than on my mifi. So, I dont think getting a mifi will help.

humblesteve:
Anyone facing this ntel issue of no network signal? Bought a new sim yesterday and have been trying to make it receive network all to no avail.



I have been using ntel on my device, note 4x.

It seems your SIM has not been activated fully. Contact their customer care.

Na wa o..
But d one we collected today in warri na #500 my bro pay o.. For redmi 5 plus

I collected mine too from the same post office a few weeks earlier and paid only #500. Someone here even said he received two phones; one was charged and the other wasn't. I guess they randomly selects items and charge them. I asked Nipost the reason for this and they directed me to customs.

lavenderjade:


How e go pay 16k fr fone collection.. Na aliexpress e buy am??

Dem don dupe am fr Post office

Na so I see am o. Na aliexpress he buy am from. Dem show am the invoice and he even take a picture. I asked Nipost on twitter and they told me it's legal, that it was custom fees.

Gptech:

Both are fast, they have their own little trying times. AliExpress Standard Shipping seems faster recently. I placed this order on the 24th of last month, it arrived on Tuesday.

Thanks baba. AES it is then.

Pls guys, which is faster between China Post Registered Air Mail and AliExpress Standard Shipping?

Opistorincos:
Guys, help me make a choice between iPhone 6 and Redmi note 5

If you are used to android then get the Redmi Note 5. However, if you are used to IOS then get the iPhone 6.

macbeyland:


I paid and collected the items. I will follow it up again once I get my holiday from work. I have been in conversation with them online.

It seems most of the affected people paid.

macbeyland:
1 black and one gold color xiaomi redmi note 5 32gb global version currently available@72k for black and 69k for the gold color. Watsapp me on 08062907289 to book yours.

Pls what's the update on your nipost customs charges? I will really like to know how you resolved it.

uliyaah:


I am having this exact issue, in fact, you'd see my reply to your tweets to Nipost, how can they be requesting a ridiculous charge of 11k plus of a 35k phone??
I am still here wondering what to do because I actually helped someone order the phone and after waiting for 3 weeks to arrive, will then ask them to send back and wait till it gets there to get refunded. It's just an annoying situation.
No information, no broadcast before starting this rubbish, even the cargo company clearance charges was raised by #200, this NIPOST issue, I just don't get it

I replied your tweet and nipost also replied that they had nothing to do with the charges and that I should contact customs for further information.

Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus 32GB ROM 3GB RAM landed courtesy Mr Nairaland CBN, Noobody
Ordered on newly announced Democracy Day, got the tracking number d following day and eventually inserted into 'Domestic Bag' on 26 June. Checked d nearest post office on 29 June but no show for me. Fear of custom duty palaver ń Nipost delay come grasp me like Sanmij and Muyibabs but finally got a today 2 July from Nipost to come for my parcel. Hallelujah!!! No custom duty but paid 1k sha.
Total landing cost is N51,800:20.

Congrats man. Enjoy your Naomi.

alosbaba007:



Correct me if am wrong, seems express shipping only comes with China stable rom, nw also consider the non techy people who prefers global rom to Chinese rom and no single idea on how to flash/unlock bootloader

If our sellers on nairaland can offer global rom on express shipping I think it will be better.

As Protein0 rightly pointed out, express shipping comes with whatever option you want. Whether you want global version, global rom or Chinese rom, they have it all covered. My friend that was charged 16k+ for customs ended up paying a total of about 96k for his RN5 and waited for 3 weeks before getting the phone. If he had used express shipping, he would have paid far less and waited for only 5-7 days to collect it. Be wise.

A little warning to people placing orders for phones using normal shipping (through NIPOST), you may be charged ridiculous custom charges. You may want to consider express shipping being offered by the likes of Noobody, Protein0, etc. It is faster and safer.

I engaged Nipost on Twitter concerning the Nipost charge of N16,556 and they gave the response below.

bastien:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A (2G RAM version) LCD Display Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly + frame Replacement For xiaomi.

Location: Lagos
Call or whatsapp: 08108923383

Do you repair too or only sell parts? We need a reliable technician on this forum.

I think it's the post office guys that are trying to scam people with this exorbitant "custom charges". The invoice is clearly from nipost, and someone even said he didn't pay it despite getting the invoice.

I will definitely give them a piece of my mind next time I go there.

Gptech:

Where are they getting the 92,510 from?

I really don't know. The seller declared the value as 45 dollars. Maybe they checked the price online.

Here is the invoice.

gidieberry:
custom have d right to go thru d package jare.. even make seller declare am as junk, just pray so no b ya own package custom go check n c sumfin declared as gift turning into smartphone

They opened my colleague's phone. They quoted it as "redmi note 5 with accessories" in their charging document and quoted the value as 92,510

macbeyland:
how is my own good when I have 4 phones and they are charging 16k+ for each one, making almost 70k altogether.

Sorry. I thought you were charged 16k+ for the four. I didnt know it was for each one.

GrandMufti:


Was it his first time of using aliexpress /nipost?

It wasn't his first time o. He has bought several things before.

macbeyland:
Imagine Nipost charging me 16470 each for 4 phones. This is real madness.

Your own is good. My colleague was charged 16,556 for only one phone.

Guys, this custom charge is real o. My colleague was just charged N16,556 at the Post Office for a phone now. It was unbelievable.

veekid:


Abeg which remote can I get that works with GoTV?

Try PVR Remote from play store.

Ifedith:

Have u used the s8? If yes ... Answer honestly and shame the devil... Is it smooth?

Sincerely, I haven't used the S8 and I am not trying to take anything away from Android phones. I'm only giving kudos to Apple for running so smoothly on 3GB RAM. I can say it handles memory management more efficiently than many Android phones with 4GB RAM(Just my opinion though)
