Baba seriously the thing tire me as e be self now, i have a damaged item only for me to make claims and I'm seeing return and refund as the only option, which time that one start? Abeg help me check and confirm this my observation.
I'm not ready to return anything to anybody

You must have bought an item that falls under "choice" category; as such products don't have "refund only", but "return and refund" as the only option. That is one disadvantage of purchasing such products, though they could be cheap bacause of reduction in their prices.

Guy Gotok is officially temporary suspended

You're right! its a general problem now, just the same way Klasha users once experienced. But, it's a temporary suspension. I guess they have issue with their card issuers......What pains me most about the suspension is the fact that Aliexpress Summer sales is around the corner. Mehn! I've fallen in love with this Gotok.... In any case, let's keep hope alive as we look forward to the return of "Abija Wara (the Warrior)."

Read the message carefully – They did promise to come back. That is why they told customers to keep their card details

Ok Bro, thanks a lot. If i cancel it will i be able to open another one inmediately?
Im worried if i cancel it shouldnt go and take it as accepted

You need not cancel the dispute if the option you selected is "refund only".

Technology Market › Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by Olamak1(m): 4:43pm On Jun 05, 2023

muhamm3d:
no i chose 'return only' please. Thanks alot for helping out

Do the following to support your dispute : take a video recording of the parcel while you're unboxing it. Ensure that the recording captures every detail of items in the box, and also reveal that the item in the box/ parcel is an IPhone (showing the model ) and not Samsung s21 ultra. Power on the phone to show the apple logo.

Next, go back to your chat with the seller and take a screenshot of every discussion you had with him in respect of Samsung phone (you can upload up to 6 pics as evidence in the dispute page)
Also, go to the order page and screenshot the details of the Samsung phone and upload it as well. You can make use of screen writers to highlight important information in the pictures before uploading them.

I would like to add further that in addition to the recording in the first step, you need to take a snapshot of the iPhone and write "Iphone 12"on it with the screen writer. Do the same for the Samsung and upload them side-by-side.

Finally, since you've made up hour mind not to return the item, then you have to reject the seller's proposal and ask for refund only. But in this scenario, you may not be fully refunded. That means you have to settle for partial refund. Well, you can try your luck.

bro, pls i need ur help. This bastard seller i paid on aliexpress to sell to me samsung s21 ultra send me iphone 12 mini instead. Ofcourse a cheaper phone. The idiot is now telling me i shoukd return it to get a refund. Already i have lodged a dispute at aliexpress already. He has replied saying i should return to get a refund. But i dont even have time to go through the hassle of refund moreover i learnt speedaf doesnt even do refunds sef. So abeg what can i do abeg. The phone is unopened sef and i just want my money back cos the seller was obviously fraudulent.

Did you accept his proposal to return the phone or you chose "return and refund" in the options?

The bolded, I don't think so. Even after winning a dispute, the seller will still rate me 5 star. What seller hate most is after you won a dispute and got a refund, you still went ahead and rate them 1 Star.

Many at time, seller sent me wrong item or broke item. I have to apply for a refund. I usually choose REFUND ONLY . No time to return anything.

Again! I'm addicted to AliExpress. I have purchased about 200+ item on AliExpress in the past 8 months.

At moment, I am a Diamond member

I'm beginning to think of deleting the app on my phone. I started using AliExpress last year October.

You really tried for attaining Diamond membership level in one year!

Nobody knows it all. But I have never lost any dispute to a seller. I have won about 15 disputes in the past 8 months. Here are some tips:-

15 disputes in 8 months? That could stand as a dent on your membership! I guess you too nor dey check items property before placing order.

Please i need help, I tried using my virtual cards for aliexpress but every card keeps giving me this error, and i have appealed but it ends with them telling me that my card can no longer be used and i have use a new one which will end the same way. Used Gotok and pyypl cards

Gotok sent me a message this evening notifying of their awareness of the difficulties in making payments with their debit card, and that they're working at resolving it. You can exercise patience and try using the card later.

SHOPPING ON ALIEXPRESS CAN BE VERY GOOD WHEN YOU BUY ITEMS FROM SINCERE SELLERS.

KNOW THIS, WE HAVE A LOT OF FRAUDULENT STORES ON ALIEXPRESS SELLING SUBSTANDARD ITEMS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEY ADVERTISED. IT IS WORRISOME BECAUSE ALIEXPRESS DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS EVEN WHEN YOU UPLOAD EVIDENCE OF ITEMS RECEIVED BEING DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WAS ADVERTISED. DISPUTE ARE MOST TIMES CLOSED IN FAVOR OF THE SELLERS. THEY ALSO DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU!

I HAVE BEEN SHOPPING ON ALIEXPRESS RIGHT FROM 2016 AND NO MATTER HOW SMART YOU CAN BE IN DEALING WITH THESE SELLERS, YOU CAN FALL VICTIM TO THEM ONCE IN A WHILE.

THE SHOP NAMED "HIGH TIP MOBILE_BRAND ORIGINAL PHONE STORE" IS A STORE YOU SHOULD AVOID SHOPPING WITH. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION!

I BOUGHT AN LG PHONE V60 THINQ 5G PHONE FROM THEM, BEFORE PLACING MY ORDER, I CHATTED WITH THE SELLER ASKING FOR A PROPER CHECK TO BE CARRIED OUT ON THE DEVICE AND ALSO, I NEED A SMARTPHONE WITHOUT SCRATCHES. I WAS ASSURED BY THE SELLER THAT ALL MY REQUEST WILL BE ATTENDED TO AND I PLACED THE ORDER.

FAST FORWARD TO WHEN I RECEIVED THE PHONE, I WAS SENT A SMARTPHONE WITH HARD SCRATCHES AT THE 4 ENDS OF THE SMARTPHONE AND THAT REALLY GOT ME WORRIED. WITH SUCH, I WAS TOTALLY SURE THE PHONE WILL HAVE ISSUES, AND TRULY IT DID.

I QUICKLY CHATTED THE SELLER AND I WAS TOLD TO KEEP THE PHONE AND I WILL BE SENT A COUPON OF $15. I SMILED! WHO DOES THAT FOR A PHONE OF $181.

I HAVE OPENNED A DISPUTE TO RETURN THE SMARTPHONE DESPITE THE HIGH COST OF SHIPPING IT THROUGH THE POST OFFICE TO THE GIVEN ADDRESS.

MY ADVICE FOR ANYONE READING THIS, AVOID "HIGH TIP MOBILE _BRAND ORIGINAL PHONE STORE ". THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU! THEY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES!

SEE SCREENSHOTS BELOW 👇!

I feel your pain! Honestly speaking, this is one reason I don't take it lightly with sellers....

I don do as you talk for referral but no cash back and you should receive something too. Guess I still have to wait, besides my $1 verification from AliExpress is still pending till now😄

Check your balance, you should have got something added though the amout may not be much as expected. I understand that the cashback is based on the amount of Busd ($) purchased, and calculated on 1% funding fee.

Do you have any solution to this my problem with Gotok card?

Leave that particular product and try your payment with something similar, or a diffent item entirely. I mean ''non choice" product

Technology Market › Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by Olamak1(m): 10:32pm On Jun 02, 2023*

Ominie:
Sorry for the disappointment, but most of your takes are green.
1. You should've bought busd directly to avoid the hassle of swapping.
2. You can fund your gotok account directly from your bank.
3. You don't need to appeal your gotok card if you follow the correct procedure. I didn't appeal mine.
4. Fund your account with the exact amount you need for AE purchase. You'd always be at the losing end if you wish to withdraw.
5. For those that are familiar with crypto, you can get busd for 700# or less
6. Gotok still remains the best.

God bless you for this your comment! Prople need to know that Gotok is not enforced on anybody, and making use of the platform is purely a personal decision.
Personally, I've tried a couple of other fintech platforms but come to the conclusion that gotok beats them hands down. That is why I stick to it and can also recommend it for anybody.

Like you said, I've discovered that one can get dollar on Binance at a rate cheaper that even the cheapest rate at any point in time ( you must possess the know- how)

Besides, am also aware that as a beginner, one pays a certain amout as fee for conversion of usdt to busd. But with time, the conversion becomes free ( that is my personal experience – had 21 usdt converted to BUSD for free yesterday).

In addition, the only time I appealed my card was when my payments for a particular item were declined severally. Later I got to know that the problem was not with the card , but Aliexpress. They didn't want me to buy that particular item — a choice item with fantastic reduction in price.

Talking about customer support, I can vouch that they have one off the best supports ever because I've had the opportunity of chatting with them on 3 different occasions, and their response was prompt. Those were the times I had the payment challenge I made mention above.
....... Until I see a better option, Gotok remains my number one choice.

All this Gotok user didn't inform us that there is a processing fee while topping your card using Binance.

I was on the process of topping my card, when I saw this.

When the 'Gotok matter' came on board this thread, it was expressly stated that there's 1% card funding fee.

No, it is not. You're free to use any method that works for you. In repone to the other guy's question on this, I was just trying to explain to him what I do that works for me when buying mobile phones. Honestly speaking, I've had the opportunity of purchasing quite a number of them for myself and for others and they were all delivered without any hassle.

Is it safe to order a phone on Ali express? Like redmi note 12 pro plus, what's likely the custom charges on it?

Why not?. People do order more expensive phones from there and get them delivered. But you need to first chat the seller and tell him to declare the item as either 'phone accessories' or 'MP4 player', and price it accordingly. This is to prevent suspicion by customs guys.

Do you guys usually call the speedaf delivery personnel when your product arrives?

Normally, the courier assigned to deliver your parcel will call to let you know wether you're available to take delivery of the item or not (this applies to home delivery items). But you can also call if you feel the parcel is being delayed unnecessarily or you need it urgently.

Thank you. I contacted gotok customer care, I don't know why they are telling me to create an aliexpress card, that the one I created won't work.
I'll try making payment for an item and see if it will work.

You're just stressing yourself chatting customer service in respect of that! 3 weeks ago, I led someone to create the card and she's made a couple of orders from AliExpress with it.

Thanks for your response. I did, it still shows pending.
Can I ask, when creating the card, I was given 3 options, I chose the card with "other uses" for multiple payments. Will this work on aliexpress or I have to create the one with the aliexpress option?

The option you went for is good. What the phrase "other uses" actually means is that you can shop elsewhere with the card besides Aliexpress, for instance, Ebay, Amazon and so on. But option 1( for AliExpress use) works on AliExpress only. That is just the difference.

[color=#0000ff]Haba! He's not obliged to reply his message or even consider his request made via message. Since he knew he ordered a wrong unit, why didn't he cancel the order and order again. Don't let him push his luck thereby abusing his dispute privilege.

I was expecting you to tell him he was wrong to have painted the issue as "wrong delivered item" when he knew he ordered the wrong item. [/color]

Thanks for your point! As a newbie, the guy might not know that he ought to cancel the order immediately and select the right one. Unfortunately, he got it like that. I agree with you that the fault is from him, but the point am trying to make is that If the seller had at least given much attention to the store communication channel, he would have seen the message andbthe mista would've been corrected.
