I mean the purchase you said you already made recently. What was the exchange rate that was used?

As in you bought it for $XX and NXXXXX was deducted from your account.

.
$156 x 365 (gtb exchange rate when I bought it) =
N56, 940

henry007:
You missed the question about exchange rates. How much your bank exchanges for a dollar.

Better to show price in dollar so as not to play yourself.

.
Oga look well.. You will see the naira aspect of it. I don't know how they do it but whatever stated in naira is what I pay.. Look under the dollar price..

fibonacci2526:
Can get it for way way lesser than this price.

If you know, you know.

.
Lol, like I said. I'm still learning about aliexpress.. There's tonnes of options I'm yet to explore..

Ifedith:
And this is global version... Just saying that ur 72k seems like ur not using the app well, you can always contact me wenever u want to shop on jumia..
Check my signature

.
I already ordered from aliexpress at 56k. Maybe next time. I buy lots of phones for people.

henry007:
Ah you buy from Aliexpress to avoid issues? Aliexpress?? How?

The reason i said "some" is coz not all Jumia Global prices are better than Aliexpress which is the default place people go to shop.

Shared screenshots of Pocophone 128GB. Can vendors on Aliexpress beat that price even without adding customs?

How much did you pay per dollar?

I have used Aliexpress some 10 years ago or so but the last thing I want to be doing rn is going to post office.

Aliexpress is not an option for me if they can't deliver to my house but everyone needs to make the best buying decision for themselves so i would say go with your gut if the price is smaller on Aliexpress. Especially after you've added Custom issues, Case & Screenprotector.

.
I understand the some aspect of it. It's same with most online stores even with aliexpress..
.
In this case I would go for jumia even though there ones cheaper at aliexpress but that can be overlooked..
.
I wouldn't be against jumia if their prices are at ok levels..
.
I rather use jumia to buy my computer accessories but for phones? I already switched.. Lol

Ifedith:
Hope u know one is global rom and the other is global version... Just saying sha, no quote me o... I'm having serious discussions with my wifey...
And i do also know that alot of times its cheaper on aliexpress... And also sometimes, aliexpress dey get caveat... With jumia, it's always safe, nothing like custom or vendor rom, some ppl don't mind that... At the end, na ur money dey speak...

.
Lol boss.. I know.
.
That is why we have experts in here. We learn from their experience and pray for the best. I have ordered products esp phone chargers that end up being trash by jumia. I ordered my mi max 2 last year that ended up having a global developer rom disguised as global version.
.
Look at jumia black friday
.
Before black Friday let's say:
Redmi 5plus 65k once 100k
.
Black Friday sales
Redmi 5plus 72k once 155k
.
Which kind lie be that na? The one lie Mohammed dey tell never do?
.
All I'm saying is risks are everywhere not just with aliexpress..
.
But you be my boss forever Sha.. � �

henry007:
If you say so, Why did you turn a blind eye to "Some prices are better, some are not"

.
Did you see the offers given on aliexpress? Let me start
.
1. Aliexpress tells you the version while on jumia they didn't. They rarely do.
.
2. It gives options of color in aliexpress but in jumia, you must manually look for phones that has the choice color.
.
3. And you can add protective screen and case in aliexpress, on jumia you will have to order separately and pay another N600 + N600 for global.
.
And all these are plus and you get prodicts way cheaper with direct contact with sellers.
.
I'm a serious jumia fan but custom or not, aliexpress is still better..
.
I did buy my mi max 2 from jumia. It had issues. I'm yet to get a help from jumia or seller. They just told me they can't help. I'm just finding out that the mi max 2 came with a global developer rom disguised as global version. No wonder it stopped getting network signals after an update.
.
Why not try and look into aliexpress as I did and I'm still doing. You will be blown my friend, you will..

henry007:
I was talking to grinface98 who bought Redmi 5 Plus.

Pretty sure he spent more than 53K of which shipping on Jumia is free and they deliver to door for that model.

Every buyer is spoilt for choice now.

The vendors on Jumia Global can reduce and increase prices at any time.

Some of their prices are better and some and not.

.
Let's not do the blind argument. A picture is worth a thousand words

henry007:
Jumia Global is the way forward o.

.
.
How much is mi max 2 on jumia? Around 78k if you get it cheap and how much is the same phone on aliexpress? Around 54k. So even if we pay 10k as custom fees, it's still cheaper. How is jumia global the way forward, by selling things extremely expensive? You think na only you dey use jumia?.. �

henry007:
Samsung is launching this for N54,000 looool

)
.
Did I see 1gb ram for 54k? Wow that's awesome. I will go for it.

Harryfrosh:
Yeah... But max 4 is going to be a good upgrade to max 1... 7 inches screen... 6000 mah... And with the video I just finished watching... Even though its still speculation but if they happen to produce the same phone on the video... It'll be a really good upgrade to max 2... But maybe the video is going to be true or false... The features of the phone including the camera will be a better upgrade...

pyrex23:

Can i Install miui on a2 lite?.
Gptech grandmufti noobody protein0+others. Advice needed

.
Abeg is this not a global version of redmi 6 pro on aliexpress?

My first order from aliexpress..
.
Thanks to
Protien0
Noobody
.
I never believed this was possible.
.
And oh yes, i paid nothing..

Can someone help interpret this? .. I tried tracking at nipost but it's not showing anything..

lavenderjade:
That was the only order i made today o..

.
Maybe you have exceeded your monthly spending or its just an error.

macbeyland:
I suspect so too because it's no use for a bank as big as gtb to make 4 dollars their maximum daily limit. It's as good as stopping the whole forex.

.
After I read his post, I loaded my alipocket with $10 and it went through. What happened to him is either an error or he actually did exceed the daily amount.
.
And boss, I need your number..

lavenderjade:
GT bank don de kolo..declining $4.73 sey daily limit exceeded for naira master card.. Wetin come be daily limit or are we back to $100 per month?

.
Daily limit for Gtb is $300. Maybe you bought some other things today..

Tiger2020:
Pease guys i need an honest comparism,a friend of my mine wants to buy either redmi note 5 or infinix s3x but her priority is camera and performance,on paper s3x camera is better than note 5 but I want to know if note 5 camera preformes better than s3x even though it has lower camera mp

.
From a scale of 10 to 10 of standard midrange
.
Note 5 =. 8 to 10.
Infinix s3x= 4.5 to 10.

Ifedith:
Thanks bros... Easy doing business with ya
Goan spread the good news...

Do you order for others in aliexpress?

fibonacci2526:
The importance of having mi account activated on xiaomi devices can not be over-emphasized. Congrats!

.
I never took that serious.. Wow. Now I will..

JOETITUS:
My baby (Note 5)have just arrived. I picked it from post office some minutes ago. I believe I am a member of the family now

.
Welcome to the mi family

jboixxx:
In this 9ja?

..
.
Yes, we communicated through WhatsApp..

GrandMufti:
Were you able to flash a new rom?

..
I told you I couldn't do it.. Xiaomi sent me an engineer that said it was hardware fault.. That I should contact my buyer.. So what part should I order?

After all and done, my mi max 2 signal issue persists.. Please if its a hardware issue, which part should I order for?..

You guys are doing a lot to help us. I'm amazed how cheap phones are at aliexpress that left regretting all I have bought from jumia. I also love the select options given. This doesn't mean jumia is bad. Jumia is still a lot cheaper with things like computers and computer gadgets and offers home service for a much cheaper price. But as long as it's China phones, aliexpress is the place to go. I wouldn't have used them if not for the reassurance gotten here and to that I say, thank you..

Just made my first order from aliexpress.. I am scared... �

jagbasneh:
But GTB and ACCESS BANK change dollar at the rate of 368 and 367 respective not 320 and 325.

.
Gtb is telling me invalid account.. Must it be a dollar account?

muyibabs:
Have you checked if radio is turned off?

Dial *#*#4636#*#* -> select Phone information 1 or 2 -> Look for "Mobile Radio Power", turn it on if it is off.

.
I have done all that. It didn't work. This may look like simple problem but this is close to a death sentence from my research..
