Seen them too. A little concerning cause their reviews looks sketchy. First you can't see review of their store when you click on their page, also on my w few of their products have reviews and they claim to have sold 1k products.

Seems sketchy to me that's why I haven't thought about using them.

Ok

"Xiaomi Flagship Store" is another store I can recommend for you because I got Note 13 from them in 2024. But right now, it seems they're completely out of stock. However, they could re-stock any moment from now, so you can check the store before sales is over.

Anyone knows which legit AliExpress store that sells Xiaomi/Redmi products that's ships to Nigeria?

Check "GloTech Flagship Store" with free shipping.

Please what's the condition attached to zenith bank discount

On the Aliexpress homepage, click on "Zenith bank logo" and read up the conditions.

You're claiming something that is objectively correct to be not true?

The very first AliExpress/Nigerian bank promo I enjoyed was Zenith bank and that was August 2025. I remember it was a $50 discount on $150 purchases and the card PAN that qualified was also listed. At the time Naira MasterCard in Nigeria weren't enabled for international card transactions so I had to look for a zenith bank dollar card to take advantage of it. I quoted the post I made to that effect.

Even UBA and Access also lists specific card PANs that qualifies for said offer. I've attached a picture of same promo from UBA listing the card bans that qualifies, so it's factually incorrect to say otherwise. Also UBA had multiple card deals, the $10 on $30 discount was in 3 purchases but subsequent promos like $20 on $40 purchases was a one off if I remember correctly. Point is it differed from promotion to promotion.

Do your research and you'd know that this issue of Primary Account Number (for instance), currently listed by Zenith as one of the prerequisites for their offer, was not highlighted by GTB and Access when they partnered with Aliexpress in 2025 and 2026 respectively. The emphasis was only on MasterCard. That's all.

So Zenith and UBA T&C shouldn't be generalised!

That has always been the case for every promo like this.

That's not true! Zenith bank is just inconsiderate!!

Access bank's offer of January wasn't like this. Although it was only available for MasterCard users, it's not restricted to specific card numbers.

Besides, the deal was $10 discount on orders of $30+, and was allowed on multiple checkouts (that was my experience).

Zenith bank is not just serious with their embarrassing conditions!

Hello. Please I would like to ask how delivery on Aliexpress is. I have ordered on Temu and the delivery process and time was seamless, about 2 weeks, to my door step with speedaf.

How does it work with Aliexpress , is it also doorstep delivery ?. Is the delivery mode dependent on what is ordered ? And how long does it take ?

I would appreciate input on how it works. I don't want to have to deal with post office, I want a door step delivery if possible. Would have gone with Temu, but some things I need are not there .

Thank you.

Depends on what you're ordering!

AliExpress "Choice items" have a higher chance of being delivered by Speedaf (delivery timeline is between 6 days and 2 weeks). Aside that, no guarantee for other products delivery through that logistics.

Please House, Is it safe to order PHONES on Aliexpress now if it is paid shipping?

For fairly used phone, I'll say, yes it is!
There's 90% chance of it being delivered through Speedaf. However, If the price is above $100, you need to chat seller to cut it down before declaring the final amount on the parcel.

Made an order on the 22nd of this month (5 days ago)…….got this update today.

I want to believe that your comments is about excitement rather than that of complaining. Yes, it happens sometimes seeing orders arrive in less than a week.

In this scenario, mother luck decides to smile on you such that your parcel was dispatched abroad immediately it arrived China Airport, arrived destination the following day and then cleared customs in less than 24 hours.
Bear in mind, however, that cases like this don't occur every time.

Hello, please I need help.

I want to open a dispute for a screen I bought because it started malfunctioning a few days after I received and installed it.

I completed the dispute description, but when I try to upload my video evidence, it keeps loading until it eventually says "Evidence submission timed out." At first, I thought the video file was too large. The maximum allowed video size is 500 MB, but my original video was only 111 MB. I even compressed it further to 60 MB, I also tried uploading a 8mb video just to test if it'll upload but I still get the same error. Only photos upload successfully, but photos are not enough to properly show the problem.

Can I use the AliExpress website instead of the app to open the dispute and upload the video evidence? My customer protection period will expire in a few days, so I need to resolve this as soon as possible.

I guess your internet speed is too slow for the video upload.

Yes, you can use the website on PC or activate "desktop version" of the site on your mobile browser. It should work.

Let's not forget, the volume of work on their hand. Was at their office some months back, and seeing much packages(the floor was literally filled with different bags). I asked one of the attendant, why this much package? She replied, that they also handle some last mile delivery for Sharp logistics.

The more reason they should employ more hands to do the job!
After all, they're being paid for the services. More responsibility should equally necessitate comensurate manpower! But their stinginess won't let them do the right thing.

I know quite a number of their workers and delivery agents who'd stopped working with them on the ground of poor pay.

The truth is, I've had countless number of ugly experiences with Speedaf since they started. That's why, I, personally prefer to pick my items from my local PO which is just a stone's throne to my residence.

The other day, they mis - routed my order to the Eastern part of the country. By the time the item was routed back to their LOS - Distribution centre, I had expected them to dispatch it to my location. Instead, they sent the parcel back to China. All mails sent to their head office in respect of the item were never replied to.

It's a matter of time – Speedaf sef go whorwhor pas Nipost!

How does one explain a scenario where an item arrived their "DC-Lagos" on Wednesday 17/06 but as at the evening of Friday 19/06 (even as I type this), the item is yet to dispatch to their office in owner's location within the same state, considering the fact that the possibility of getting the item delivered on weekend is not certain? My experience with Speedaf right now!

Parcel arrived destination in less than 2 weeks, cleared customs in 48 hours, but Speedaf intends to add extral days (at least 7 days now) to prolong its delivery timeline. Too bad!!!

Just 2 days?

You've got to relax and look forward to 'Customs clearance completion' in respect of the item, which could take between 24 hrs and 1+ week.

Honestly, I don't mind paying a huge amount to get my packages from Nipost delivered to me.

I had the intention of setting up a gadget business, so I ordered about 40 phones/tablets since October/November/December and up till now, I haven't received any of them.

Sorry to say, you really gambled with the whole thing!

For gadgets of such quantity, why didn't you employ the service of a third-party shipper to help you deliver the parcel in Nigeria?

Avoid such a mistake next time.

If the item is under "customs clearance", then there's nothing you can do but wait till it's completed. It happens this way sometimes, expecially after a major holiday when there are backlog of orders to clear.

My package has been pending here, another parcel it arrived same time with has already been delivered, none of my packages have ever spent so long after being collected by speedaf. Please is this normal
NB: there are 12 small items in the package

What's on the tracking is not abnormal!

Your item arrived Regional carrier facility on the 26, which was Tuesday. Then a 2-day holiday followed. This is what you need to consider because those in charge of your parcel may decide not to move it until next week when activies resume fully.

Can one choose their preferred logistics? I noticed that every phone that I have ordered for have all come through NIPOST

Also, I think this issue of missing items for phones and tablets started late last year. I anever experienced it years until early this year

Unless you intend going for express deliveries like DHL, FedEx and etc, Nipost still remains Aliexpress' choice for last mile deliveries for New mobile phones and some brands of Tablets.

I remember taking delivery of Redmi note 13 in January 2025. The phone was deliverd through Nipost within 4wks of ordering.
Unfortunately, things seem to have gone worse in the country's postal system in recent times.

This country, ẹh?

Thanks!

Your item is at "Onitsha Unity". The delivery agent couldn't deliver it yesterday, 16th . I guess he'll re-schedule the delivery for tomorrow, 18th. If not, you may have to visit speedaf office to pick your parcel.

Good day everyone, I ordered some products, after inmade the payment through opay, I check the products for shipment, but I found out all the products I ordered has been closed,

I chatted one of the store to confirm if he received payment for my order but he said he didn't receive payment.

Since yesterday that I made the payment, all the products is just in "to ship", please what can I do?

I have logged a complaint but they said I will wait for 10 days that all my orders are in preparation to be ship.

You may have to expantiate on this: "but I found out all the products I ordered has been closed"

In the meantime, I'll say that you're getting yourself walked up over nothing! You need to relax and allow sellers process your items for shipping.

The moment you check out on order and your payment is confirmed by Aliexpress through notification on the app, leave the rest for them. The processing and shipping of orders could take up to 5 days or more.
You can see why you need to calm down and allow your items to ship!

Hello guys, so the vendor gave me a tracking number that starts with APO, I read somewhere that it will change later. Is that always the case? Or the AP number may remain unchanged till it gets to the country? Status has been showing "package left sorting center" for like a week plus. What's the usual TAT for change to next status?

At the point the parcel is out-bounded in sorting centre, the tracking number would've changed to NG... That's when Speedaf is in charge.

Don't try it. They will steal your phone. We don't know if it's Nipost or Custom staff doing that.

The phone I ordered came in with a different name and address but same tracking number.
When checked by Nipost at the delivery office, it was past questions they put inside.

What saved me was that I quickly went to the post office immediately I noticed it has gotten there on the tracking website I used.
If not, someone else would have collected the parcel and AliExpress will mark it as delivered and that may be all with your money.

Don't generalize it because that's not everybody's experience!

That you encountered difficulty in receiving your item doesn't mean others will experience same.
All my mobile phones from AliExpress had been delivered through Nipost, without any story of theft.

The only reason I won't encourage anyone to place a direct order for mobile phone at the moment bothers on the delay in delivery being experienced in recent times.
