It has been stuck here for days. I think something is wrong with this order.

Your item ought to have left transit country long ago,but is still hanging there. This is quite abnormal!

Try tracking it with "postal.ninja" for detail information.

Macmilla:
All things considered, grey is not doing that well. Have you forgotten they still charge you 1% conversion fee?
GTB doesn't have any extra charges.

Addition of 1% makes it ₦1579.81.
They currently charge ₦1564.01/$.

Nawa ooo, the average Chinese is not too different from the average Nigerian. It's better to just avoid getting used devices from China then. If not for strict regulations on the part of Aliexpress, many of us would have been burnt ; even at that, some sellers still find their way around being dubious.

You've said it all!

Temu sef now facing speedaf customs delays

Hand don dey touch them

Abi now!

Starting a thing is not a problem, but maintaining the flow to the end is where the real issue lies.

May be customs don dey tìre for them small small!

Gptech:
That device is old sha. But some of those so called used phones on AliExpress have had some parts replaced by their previous owners. If you read reviews you'll see so many complaints. If you must buy used on AliExpress, ensure the seller is highly recommended from user reviews.

Interestingly, the seller has 5 star reviews from buyers, that's why I ordered from him.

Again, yes the phone is old (running android 10), but my plan was to unlock the bootloader and then flash the latest custom firmware on it (I already saw online quite a number of roms for the device). That's why I went for it, in addition to it's small size.

Gptech:
You won't get a new one anywhere! It's better you buy used from trusted sellers here, at least you'll get one with Global rom. The ones on AliExpress are used and some have Chinese roms flashed. You better check the description of items you buy on AliExpress, some sellers are dubious.

One reason I'll never buy used xiaomi phones on Aliexpress again!

I ordered redmi 6 pro in March this year to support my RN13, only to discover that it's a Chinese version running on global Rom. All attempts to update the software to the latest version have failed.

Besides, the device also fails product authentication test from Xiaomi, and when I contacted seller to know why I couldn't update the software and sign into Xiaomi account, his response was: "don't try to update the phone by yourself". At that point, and after much findings into the matter, I realised that na ẹbu seller con send give me.

GrandMufti:
you don't even know the difference between 'Voiding warranty' and 'passing integrity'.

You be joker Oga!
Where your tech knowledge stops is the starting point for another person's!!!

Update on this issue:
Two items were shipped together with this tracking number and were supposed to be shipped by speedaf. The tracking number is already on speedaf server. After this issue appeared, one of the items was suddenly cancelled without warning and I was refunded automatically.
Speedaf tracking now indicated "domestic return to customer".
Then the tracking number for the second item suddenly changed to an ordinary tracking number (not speedaf number).
Both the original tracking number and the new tracking number are not making any progress for more than 10days.
This looks like Speedaf is no longer shipping my package despite it being a choice item. They are basically returning it to sender.
Right now, I don't know if my item is still coming or not.
I have never experienced this before. This makes no sense. The two tracking numbers can be seen below.

Based on the information you uploaded, I'm not sure you can get the second item again. Open dispute and claim your refund.

lanre9ja:
I have an item which is taking too much at the point of custom clearance, today makes it 6days at that spot... I hope my items is not have issue just a phone screen and porch.

Please house what's going on, I have not experienced that before since have been ordering from ALIEXPRESS delivered by SPEEDAF

There's nothing to fret yourself about! Customs clearance is unpredictable, and can take between 3 days to 1 week (even more on many occasions). What you're currently experiencing with your order shows that nothing ever remains permanent.

Oshlander:
I need battery replacement for Umidigi A7 Pro.

Also, screen replacement for Umidigi Bison.

I'm in Abeokuta.

For your Bison screen, dm on WhatsApp. Check my contact above.

pendulasis:
Good evening house, please I have a package from AliExpress to be delivered by speedaff, they could not deliver to my office now the package is back to LOS INT. please how can I contact them and pickup, there numbers online is automated without redirect to a person

You can't get the parcel again because it's already on its way back to China. Open dispute and ask for refund. Select "parcel returned by carrier (or something similar)" in the options and upload tracking information as evidence.

senator282:
Speedaf is becoming shit recently. Package that is signed for delivery still not delivered after 3days.
They had to lie that my phone number was unreachable.

Those guys didn't just start today. Such attitude is in their DNA! And the objective is to divert their bosses' attention from their lackadaisical attitude!

Chimex1930:
Pls is this normal my parcel arrives destination country which is suppose to be Nigeria.. but the tracking says Netherland

Item on its way to destination enroute Netherlands

IBHussaini:
I bought a mobile phone on AliExpress on the 28 of May, and it has been stuck in customs clearance since 13 June, overall the device is in transit for 56 days. I have contacted NIPOST and they say the parcel is not in Nigeria, and when I contacted the Nigerian customs they referred me back to the local courier, I don't know what is happening, is there any help I could get.

Track the item with postal.ninja to see the detail movement.

bmichael22:
I have an Umidigi A7 Pro. It's not coming on, had screen issues and has now been abandoned for a while. I'll be needing a battery and a screen for it. Anyone?

The Screen is available. You can DM me on whatsapp — 08028870053

Mrluv:

"Type C otg flash drive" is the best option for backing up your files!

Alabaodu1:
Item has been stucked here since July 5.

Whenever items left transit country, it normally takes up to 2 weeks or more to arrive destination.Therfore, you've got to be patient!

Tesclaros:
Hello guys, is it advisable to order for home furnitures like dinning set, chairs, rug carpets and kitchen appliances from Aliexpress? Its gonna be my first time

Buy the items locally to avoid customs charges

Encitee3991:
Please house, suggest any aliexpress store that you've used recently that sells xiaomi phones

"Xiaomi Flagship Store". I got RN13 from there in January.

GreaterFuture:
The Nairaland Machine and Bot, or AI is very faulty. Very very faulty.
I posted something very generic and normal ( on having $20 thereabouts, anyone who wants to checkout), and I was banned instantly.
The thing is really really faulty. I thought it had been improved and corrected very well in the last weeks.

.

That Bot has no respect for anybody at the moment!

The day my post (product advert) got deleted, I thought it was Nairaland Mods. I said to myself: "what's wrong with these guys? What offence have I committed for posting in the right thread?" As I made attempt to re - add the post, then I discovered that I'd also been placed under ban. Later, I got to know that Nairaland Bot is the one responsible

Mrcalxy:
Here’s another NL user affirming it.


Hopefully you’re informed now.

Happy Sunday to you my Chief.

👍
I heard you!

nurez305:
Now the question is, should I wait for it to completely elapsed or before it elapsed before I open a dispute?

You need to relax and exercise patience while waiting for the arrival of your order which could come before your BPP lapses. You can't open dispute when the Protection is still active ( Aliexpress system will prevent you from doing so).

Mrcalxy:
You can also ask the seller to extend the protection period if it’s running out.

.

You're very funny! Who told you sellers do have such power on AliExpress platform?
For your information, the protection period is Authomated, and nobody can influence the countdown — not even Aliexpress agents! The moment it elapses, that's all!

Kessnorman:
Speedaf doesn’t do waybill,

It does!

Approach them with your Waybill item, then you'd know they can handle it. The only problem is that unlike inter - state transporters that could deliver items within 24 hours, speedaf Waybill could take 3 or more days to deliver.

nurez305:
Hello all, please I order a product on AliExpress and the delivery date was suppose to be July 3. Today is July 4th and there is no new update up till this moment since June 27. Do I need to open a dispute to get back my money? If yes, how do I do that?

The date showing there for delivery is just an estimate! Sometimes, items arrive before that date; at other times, they take longer. What you should be looking at is your "Protection Period" which is 65 days counting from the day the order was placed. If at the end of this period you still haven't received the item, you can then open dispute.

dustmalik:
Guys, how long does it typically take to get an item purchased from AliExpress these days? My location is Abuja. I mean, once it has been shipped.

Minimum of 3 - 4 weeks is what you should be looking at, depending on carrier.
If the order is handled by Speedaf, you could receive it in 3 weeks (all things being equal) , but if by other carrier, meaning that the delivery would be routed through Nipost or other means, I guarantee you a minimum of 4 weeks.

Where is the link to it the video. Make I go check sharp sharp. I hardly sit down to watch videos these days. 😂

peteregwu:
This is una secondary school boy question dey funny at times. If u got a new phone, bro go to YouTube and search for any video on the same phone and see how you can do to work with it.

Na so!
In fact, with the help of one YT video, I've been able to debloat my Redmi device, removing 95 pre-installed apps from it. The phone now runs faster than before and there's reduction in battery consumption.

GrandMufti:
Actually, unlocking bootloader is not the issue; you will have serious issues with google attestation services. Meaning that you would be unable to use most apps.

As for mtk, forget it. Go for Snapdragon if you want to tweak your phone. But I wouldn't advise you to use your primary phone for this purpose.

On the 1st paragraph, I totally disagree with you because, appart from the usual start - up message ( yellow or red state) that "...your warranty has been voided.... " on some devices, unlocking bootloader doesn't prevent apps from running. Rather, root access is what restricts some apps from working (talking from experience).

Besides, smartphone brands like Google Pixel, One plus, Samsung and even Xiaomi itself allow for bootloader unlocking on their devices. If that is the case, would you now say such devices won't pass Google attestation?

Again, your assertion in the second paragraph is not correct! I used MTK chip for 15 years before I joined Snapdragon earlier this year, and all the devices (MTK) I used during those periods passed through different tweakings and installation of custom roms. In fact, the introduction of Generic System Image (GSI) made the whole experience much more easier because with it, I kept experimenting with different Images in order to settle for the best among them.


Snapdragon is what I can't say much about at the moment, in terms of tweaking. I be JJC, trying to learn the rudiments of rom modification on the Chip. I'm only waiting for convenient time to unlock my RN13 bootloader.

ojosoft:
Gud day guys, seem like bybit is deactivating their card oo.... I saw this notification on my phone...

Yes, they are, for reasons best known to them!
No qualms! Na to create another one be that. Hope the creation is gonna be FOC as the former, and no attachment of inconsiderate conditions whatsoever.

Kessnorman:
My order has been stuck here can someone please explain what is next or what is happening to it

Relax! Just 3 days in Airport and you're already stressed up!
The parcel will be dispatched abroad shortly.

Good evening gurus in the house,

I bought a hybrid inverter and a Wi-Fi module from a seller through AliExpress and the package was delivered on the (05/06/2025). The first thing I noticed when I opened the package was that the manual and communication cable were not included in the package which I notified the seller. He was very slow in responding to my complain. I persisted and he later sent me a soft copy of the manual which I have printed.

I had the inverter installed and it was working. I went to town to get the cable and discovered the Wi-Fi module was not working. I have tried several cables but the Wi-Fi module still will not work. I have been contacting the seller but he has refused to acknowledge my complaints.

Can anyone give me an advice on how to handle this issue as I feel the seller is deliberately ignoring me and time is going.

It's so obvious that the seller doesn't want to take responsibility for the faulty item. That's how some of them do!

Go and open dispute and request for a full refund in respect of the item. Ensure you support your claims with video recording of the Module ( video showing the details connection to power source to confirm the fault ).
