xalex77c:Very simple! Click on the item and locate "Cancel order". Select it and choose "i don't need this order anymore....or something similar" as reason for cancellation. Click submit. Aliexpress would have to wait for Seller's response before the cancellation is approved, and once it's acknowledged, you'd be notified on the order page that "your refund is processing". It could take between 3-7 days before you're credited ( puting into consideration bank delays ). |

mctfopt:Delivery is a bit faster now, expecially for Speedaf shipments. I got a package delivered last week, the item took 11 days from ordering to delivery. |

stuffs2002:If you ever experience such next time, the first thing you should do is to notify Seller. He might offer to send another item in place of the faulty one. But in the event of a seller proving stubborn, dispute would be the solution, with "refund only" as the best option (even if it requires that you settle for partial refund). Mostly, some sellers prefer to be notified in such a scenario like yours for any possible resolution because they know that bad ratings do hurt their business, and that's what buyers normally do at the end of dispute judgement — they give poor reviews. Therefore, they (sellers) try to avoid dispute as much as possible. Since you've already gone far with the dispute, I'd advice that you go ahead and drop a message for him ( seller). Ask him if there's a way he could help you out, notifying him of the challenges you've encountered in a bid to returning the item back to China. He might listen to your plea! |

stuffs2002:You of course! The moment you discovered the deffects in the item, díd you notify Seller or you just went straight to dispute? |

stuffs2002:You went for "return & refund" in the dispute options, hence, the reason you're mandated to return the item before you could be refunded. Next time, choose "refund only". Note, however, that unless the item gets back to China and is confirmed so by seller, your refund won't be issued by Aliexpress . |

Sonrexx:In terms of Cost-effectiveness, FedEx is better than DHL for international shipment. But while it's not all goods by DHL that are liable to tax, all shipments by FedEx are subject to customs duties. |

Qsand:There's nothing you can do about it. You have to wait for them to re-route the parcel to your address (location). However, pray they don't send the parcel back to China. Those guys are notorious when it comes to that. 1 Like |

Bunsenbun:You may have to open dispute and request for a refund for the omitted items. But your chance of getting refunded is subject to whether you took video recording of the parcel while opening it. In the meantime, contact sellers and notify them of the development. They should offer to re-send those items to you. But If they're proving stubborn, dispute would be the next option, to be supported by the unboxing video(s). 2 Likes |

Xanderone:Aliexpress is not responsible for whoever delivers your parcel, Speedaf is! You should lodge your complaints to their headquarters, but I can assure you that they won't do "nothing" about the situation. In a scenario like this, what I'll advice you do is to visit Speedaf office the guy operates from and report him to his Supervisor. He could deny the allegation when asked, therefore, make sure you do your assignment well before taking such a step: next time you have a package to be delivered by him, and he calls you, put the call on speaker and record it with another phone. That's a good evidence against him. What the guy is doing is pure extortion because all Aliexpress-speedaf home deliveries are free. Besides, he sees you as helpless, that's why he decides to catch your "maga!" If you don't reject it now, he'll continue playing the game with you. The worst he can do is to claim that your number is unreachable and then return the parcel to their office. If he decides to mess up with it, he'd be made to pay for it. |

okikigsm:Haha😂 The madness no get part 2! About 3 days after my parcel arrived China in March, they sent me an email twice, claiming that they couldn't deliver the parcel because my phone number was unreachable (this is after I'd already sent them email twice when the parcel was still within LAGOS, but got no reply from them o). They told me further to provide alternative number to enable them contact me for the delivery of the order, which I did. At the end of the day, it was a mirrage! Wọ́n yă wèrè găă!!! |

sonssyo:Sometimes you're lucky, your order gets cleared in 24 hrs to 3 days. At other times, you're not so lucky, the item seems to take forever to clear. That's the description of Aliexpress orders vis-a-vis NCS inspection. My order arrived yesterday, 17th, was surprised to see it cleared today,18th. |

icon91:As at 2021 the allowable rate for personal goods is ₦50,000 (equivalent to $100 then). Any litem valued about this benchmark attracts customs duty. There's no evidence, however, that the rate has been changed. Besides, import duty is always high. I remember someone said he once got a call from the PO in respect of a laptop someone sent to him, and the caller told him to come with 40k to pick it up. That was before the current administration. 1 Like |

IsinJoe:That's not new, as far as I know! But If seller declared the item as laptop, then your chance of escaping charges is slim: Customs fit open am to check what's inside. By that, den go know the true worth of the Lapi. Besides, items shipped by FedEx are generally liable to customs duty and taxes. Bear that in mind! 1 Like |

TemporaryHansel:I've discovered that issue like this one can easily be fixed by factory-resetting the device. I faced same hurdle after updating from miui to hyperOS on note 13 (8/256), but now the phone is up and running at expected speed. Besides, you may have to uninstall some unwanted apps (bloatwares) xiaomi pre-installed on the device. It helps also. |
