Your item gets to your local post office 2-3 days after arrival at airport.

Very true.

I am not understanding AliExpress and speedaf this period. Normally in the past when I order stuff, it gets to my hand FIRST then I log onto my AliExpress dashboard to click/acknowledged receipt and leave reviews.

Today it's like speedaf now accept and receive goods before it even gets to the final customers hands. Can you imagine a package I have been waiting for since a 3 weeks had finally cleared customs and gotten to speedaf regional office as at yesterday morning ONLY FOR MY TRACKING DETAILS TO SHOW THAT THE GOODS HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO ME THAT SAME YESTERDAY

I saw nobody, I saw no notification or calls from any speedaf personnel but somehow AliExpress says my goods have been delivered

This is a new experience for me

Yes, you're experiencing it for the first time. But it's not new.

It's a strategy those Speedaf delivery agents use, and their motive is simple: to prove to their supervisors that such item has already been delivered, even though it hasn't. And the moment the parcel is scanned as delivered, it automatically adds to the number of their deliveries (I learnt that they're now being paid based on the number of packages they're able to deliver daily) .

Based on my experience, you shoud receive a call/sms tomorrow from the delivery agent. In the meantime, you can track the package on Speedaf website to retrieve his phone number.

I searched for one pouch for over 2 hours boss

It was only in one place and on Bundle deal

I had no other options

I did all filters and looked individually

Once i click it, it takes me to bundle

➖➖➖➖

I agree with you that some items could be scarce, and only found with few sellers. However, try using both "word and image" search of the item. You could still find it outside the "bundle deal" domain.

Boss

Why do some items show only BUNDLE deals

Like I am being forced to pick 3 items whereas I want just one.

Cc olamak1 jboixxx aieromon offpoint1

One thing that makes Aliexpress webpage fascinating is that they arrange their products in different segments with varying prices attached to them. This, I've discovered, allows buyers to get satisfactory shopping experience, irrespective of what their needs are.

The "bundle deal" is one of such. If you check properly, you'd discover that prices are lower in that segment than in order for the same products. Therefore, to enjoy the benefit of the lower prices there, the condition has it that you must buy at least 3 products.

But, if you're only interested in one item, you have to check other segments of their webpage for it. But bear in mind that the price would be higher.

The discount is applied immediately after entering your access bank master card number not before.

Did you do your calculations after the transaction? If the answer is yes, how much were you charged/$ by Access? Or is it a usd card?

Hello guys,

Is it possible to re route an order by speedaf to another location in the same state?

The item is already in Nigeria and the last update was that it has departed for the state distribution center.

How possible is this!

Thanks

They won't do it for free!

You have to pick the item at the current location address and then Waybill it to the new location.

True. with the coupon aliexpress offers shoppers. There's no way their items will be costlier after applying discount.
I recently bought the Anker p20i for less than $8 before applying UBA payment discount

Nor be lie!
Applying coin discounts is a routine for me when ordering items, even on a normal day; as AliExpress has now place premium on coins.

I currently have this challenge, i ordered multiple items and I've received the ones handled by speedaf. But the one not handled by speedaf has been stuck at arrived at destination country.what's the next step! It's been ages i ordered from aliexpress last

I'll advise that you exercise some patience and be hopeful to receive the item.

According to your tracking info, the order arrived destination about 7 days ago, and one thing to note is that the package could still experience some local logistics delay on it's way to your location (no thanks to Nipost lackadaisical attitude), especially if you're outside Lagos.

So, keep your fingers cross and look forward to receiving the order.

l saw a watch on FB ads, they say it is N96k but l copy the image and search on google but aliexpress say it is N34k and Jumia say it is N32K. I was like how come

Even with the purported high price, you can still get the watch cheaper during major sales on AliExpress, like the just concluded. Knowledge of 'coupon and coin' combination during checkout is what it requires.
In fact, I got one KUMI smartwatch for as low as $12 (around 18k). The selling price during the sales was $41( about 60k). So interesting!

Nah, it's just from personal experience, and the experiences of people posting on here.

When I started shopping on AE in like 2018, I used to receive parcels with a certain reliability.
I could track registered parcels, and I recieved them in roughly A month ± 1 week.

I have lost a few small untracked parcels with them, but this was during covid panics and lockdown.

There have been some regulatory changes to NIPOST under the Buhari administration, an attempt to financialize NIPOST, since then the quality of service seems even worse and slow now.

And I've gotten a much worse experience with them now, even with Standard AliExpress shipping, with tracking.
The last and most recent order (some SSDs) I got from them, stopped tracking after arriving Nigeria, and took another 2 months to arrive my Nipost office.

Hmmn!
Un-palatable experience, really!!!

Hello guys. Please has anyone ordered and received a power bank recently.
Please share the order duration, the carrier that handle it

Got one in April, this year, and was delivered within 1 month of ordering.

Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the logistics company again. But on the delivery day, a call came in and the caller introduced himself as a delivery agent from one particular company ( he mentioned one strange name), and that he'd got my parcel to deliver to me (I almost missed the item because I'd thought the delivery would come through Nipost).

Baba you get PhD for this shipping o

Please I need tips from you as an expert in this

I want to get chargers, pouch, power banks on AliExpress.

how do I know the original and how to avoid customs wahala

Have you used Temu too?

What's your advice?

Personally, I have no business with Temu for now unless they incorporate USD payment gateway into their system!

Besides, if you want to buy original products on Aliexpress, you have to go for notable brands. Buying products from well - known brands reduces your risk of getting fake products. Also, for any product you intend buying, check the store overall ratings and buyers' reviews of the product, especially additional reviews.

Moreover, beware of buying all the items in one order because, If the parcel is bulky and weighty, you could be heavily taxed by the NCS. To avoid such scenario, ensure that you split the items into about 4 or more different orders such that each order is assigned a unique tracking number. The implication of this is that the parcels would arrive separately, and be delivered to you one after the order.

They only state that if it is a registered package.

If it is self pickup they state in their messages we can call to arrange for delivery of the package for ₦400

That was what the person that called me to pick up told me, she said that after 15 days or so they will send it back to the sender. And if I wanted them to deliver it I will pay ₦2,000 for delivery 😒

Whoever told you that is a crook! He's a scammer!

I don't know where you're located, but here in Lagos (my area precisely) , all packages, registered or not, get home delivery.

Besides, in the notification message by Speedaf for parcel delivery, it's stated clearly that parcel owners shouldn't pay extral fee for delivery.

An AliExpress seller sent a damaged motherboard to me. Please what is the procedure of returning an item back to the seller in China.
Is it only through NIPOST?

Only Nipost!

But wait! Don't return the item to seller. You'd spend more than you budgeted if you do. Settle for partial refund and more on!

Besides, you could lose out on both sides — your 'money and the item' if the parcel gets lost in transit.

Interestingly, they're making in-app coupon codes available for our region this time, something they stopped us from enjoying in the last 2 years after blacklisting us. Intimidation from Temu must have forced them to revert that decision.

hello, please i ordered a phone battery from Nohon on AliExpress since September 30th. up till now the tracker says package still waiting for shipping. any help?

This item might have been shipped abroad, but tracking information won't show it. That's the nature of batteries generally! Because they're seen as explosives, their shipments don't go through the normal channels — sellers have to find a way of getting them to destination. That's why monitoring their movements through tracking could be difficult.

You can track the order using "postal.ninja" or "parcel track". The latter is an app from playstore.
