I bought a phone, see me thanking my stars say I don see cheap phone, 8000mah, deca abi octa core, 48mp camera
Less than 80$ 12g 128g I rush buy am no mind high shipping fee
Phone don show everywhere don burst
Battery no dey reach 6hrs, phone don dey lag, camera rubbish
The mistake I made was I asked to return the phone
After the sending of proof gengen shipping fee to china 30k 18k last and the item might not get to the owner
Now the due date don expire
How do I get recompense for the crap

I had to advise a friend against buying such mobile phone around March, this year ,when he came to me that he saw a particular unknown brand with amazing specs. According to him, the phone has 12gb of ram, 256gb of internal storage and all that ,and the price is ridiculously cheap (less than 100$). I told him not to buy it because it's fake, but he found it difficult to believe me. I asked him to check the reviews on YouTube, using the model name as keywords in the search box to confirm my findings. He came back later to thank me for the advice..... If you're familiar with Wish website, you'll discover that such mobile phones are the major sales brands there, but of recent, they've been able to penetrate Aliexpress platform (am still surprised why aliexpress would allow such). Looking at the model names, you'll discover that majority of the phones are cloned versions of Xiaomi and Huawei brands. For example, you could see something like 'Radmi note 10' instead of the real 'Redmi note10'. So, they are all there to deceive buyers into buying them. That's why it pays to buy from known brand when shopping on Aliexpress.

Thank You for the advice. Without this thread many of us will keep loosing their money to this sellers.

One thing with those sellers is that they like to 'prey' on buyers' ignorance. So, they shouldn't be handled with kid's glove .

He probably packed the wrist watch shoddily. If it was well packaged with styrofoam, then placed inside a cardboard box and then the box further wrapped with more foam materials, it wouldn't have broken that easy.

Exactly.

Hello AliExpress shoppers, I received a watch on Tuesday I order in AliExpress last month. I received the watch with a broken glass. I try contacting the seller and he told me the glass broke during transportation but I can order for glass replacement from another store. He gave me the glass specs so that I can order for the watch glass replacement and I don't know the size of the glass I will order for. Please can anyone help me with the glass I will order for.
Here's the glass replacement specs;
Glass 35mm diameter
Division hole 36.8mm diameter
Glass thickness 1.4mm

Please help��

I'll advice you to open dispute ASAP and request for a full or partial refund ,whichever Aliexpress would grand you. The seller should have opted to send you another watch in place of the broken one ,yet he doesn't want to take responsibility for that. That's why he's asking you to buy the replacement glass from another store. Aliexpress sellers can be tricky sometimes . So, don't be fooled. Open dispute right away and attach the pictures of the watch together with the broken glass as evidence ,and then request for a refund of your money.

Attention AliExpress Shoppers: Urgent Notice!

As you all know, Nigerian banks have placed a limit to the maximum amount of dollars per month we can use for international shopping at $100.

And this is causing a lot of difficulties, especially if you want to order anything above $100 on Aliexpress.com.

To solve this the only option we have is, to tell AliExpress to;
1. Enable INSTALLMENTS payment for us Nigerians on any item from $100 and above.
2. Enable "Aliexpress POCKET" for us Nigerians too, so we can accumulate dollars in there and use it to pay/shop.

They did this for Brazilians so why not us?

To make AliExpress heed, each and everyone of us must head to Aliexpress App on our phones, chat up their customer service agent, tell them to enable 1 and 2 for us in Nigeria.

Then also head to "App Suggestions" and tell them the same thing.

If up to 200 people can talk to them today about this, they will listen and help us pay in installments to get things we need all the time.

Please let's have one mind and help ourselves to shop unlimitedly on Aliexpress.com. Thank you.

In case you don't know how to get to Aliexpress customer service agent, follow the steps below;

To Chat with an Agent
1. Open Aliexpress App
2. Tap "Account".
3. Tap "Help Center"(Wait till it opens).
4. Go down, tap "Online Service".
5. Tap "Get Help" on the left
6. Tap "Payment Failed".
7. Tap "Payment Method Introduction".
8. Tap "Installment"
9. Tap "Chat with an agent now", down below.

For App Suggestions
1. Open Aliexpress App
2. Tap "Account".
3. Tap "Help Center"(Wait till it opens).
4. Tap "App Suggestions" on the middle right

See directions pictorial below.

Thank you.

God bless you real good!

Did you ordered the phone during the just concluded mid-year sales or earlier? Because a phone (about $98) ordered by a friend last week has it's tracking number start with NG.

By the way, how were you able to pay for the Xiaomi phone ? I had wanted to sign up for 'Barter fluttewave'. But the reviews I read about it is not encouraging.

Hello everyone, who has ordered a mobile phone recently from Aliexpress through split payment? Kindly drop the name of the store here. I'm about to order one of about 150$. I've contacted 2 stores so far but non of them is ready to accept my offer.

I need explanations on this please from the experienced guys.

You've got to exercise patience. It happens to unregistered orders these days, and it might take up to a month before it gets to your local Post office, depending on your location. In my own case, it took a whole month before I was called for a pick up at the PO ( Lagos state), this was after Track 24 had already shown that the parcel had arrived destination country.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
Is it too early to go to the PO and ask about thes items?

Yes, it is. This tracking shows that your order has just arrived destination Country. When you see "failed delivery", that means it has gotten to your local post office. By then, you should get a phone call or sms from the PO for a pick up.

Please I want to order an item from aliexpress, what's the shipping duration to Abuja? Folks with the experience should help me out

If you would flip the pages back, question like this had already been treated.....
Anyway, delivery of orders from aliexpress these days is unpredictable. Sometimes, you are lucky, your orders get delivered quickly. While at order times, the only option left is to open despute because the orders refuse to deliver within the Buyer protection period,which is now 75days. But be informed that even in the midst of this uncertainty, people have not stopped shopping on the platform. All is takes is being able to take Risks.

Oh! Its way past 90 days
I have attached screenshots of tracking from 3 different sites and even one from sellers own tracking
He supported that I asked for a refund too
So, 5 days or 5 working days? I.E Friday, from today.

Just relax! You will surely get "valid" judgment at the end of the 5 days period. Normally, Aliexpress gets in touch with sellers for their proposal on disputed orders before passing the final judgment. In your own case, you are at an advantage to win the dispute because the seller is the one telling you to go ahead with it.
In addition, the five-day-period starts counting from the day the dispute was opened.

Opened dispute and got this in "AliExpress judgement details"
Is that it? They rebuffed my proposal? Or do I still wait 5 days?

If you're certain that your Buyer protection period has lapsed and the order is yet to arrive, then track the item from different tracking sites, take a screenshot of the tracking and then upload as evidence on the dispute page. Then wait for the next judgment. Yes, it takes about 5 days

The problem with newbies is that they are not patient enough to read posts by experienced members on this thread. The truth Is that some of the questions they ask had already been answered in previous pages, if only they could dedicate time to flip back. I've said it before, I spent months on this thread reading posts and comments of people on how to shop successfully on Aliexpress before I finally signed up as member.

Guys please help me out.. please because I'm in a state of confusion. Yesterday at about 10:pm I ordered an earing with a necklace set on Aliexpress everything went well, I was debited and after confirmation of my order in no time I was notified my order has been shipped. I was quit happy because everything went smoothly. Not until this evening I got an alart of my account balance debited from www.Asos.com London. God at that moment I don't know what I was thinking immediately I moved the balance in my account to a friend's account to be on a safer side. Now from my calculations 16k plus was removed from my account, the alart showed that it's from Www.Asos.com London. Gurus in the house please help me. What should I do, how do I go about this Please. The amount is too huge, have been down since. Please help

Are you sure you use your debit card to make the actual purchase via the authentic aliexpress website?
