I ordered this item since last week
Is this normal?

It will get updated

Johnnycadge:


The easiest and fastest way to get your phone order is when you order it via DHL, but their shipping cost is much

Not only that Custom duty sure for you well well.

Fremantle:

When shopping on AE, you must have come across this "Tracking Available" or "Tracking Unavailable"

When you pay for shipping with 'Tracking Available' that's a registered order as you will be able to track the item when it gets to Nigeria.

But,

When you pay for shipping with 'Tracking Unavailable' you can only track the order in it's country of origin (China) when that package gets to Nigeria, tracking ends, you can no longer track the item - therefore your order is unregistered.

Meaning it's not safe to order for item(s) with "Tracking unavailable"?

My last order, I purposely paid for "Shipping" thinking it'll guarantee the safe delivery of my item.

The shipping charge cost pass the item I order sef... On a normal good day, I for chose "Free shipping"

Hi,
Please, I want to buy human hair from Aliexpress but would like to know if it will not be regarded as contraband good and if there is anyone who has ordered hair successfully before or knows any better platform. Thanks.

Somebody on this thread ordered human hair last year, got it but it was heavily taxed as in punitively taxed.

I don't think there's any bank that charges this rate. This is what they i.e the banks mostly buy dollar. What bank do you use?

nothingzpoil:


I did all of that calcutions perfectly.

Even had a screenshot of the purchase containing the detailed amount including shipping charges.

My bank charged #415.33/$.

I did order a product last month, i was shocked to realise i didn't look at the shipping method. It was "Sellers Shipping Method".

I was surprised when Nipost called in less than 3 weeks to deliver the product to me.

The guy said he was coming to my area, that i will give him #300 for transport.

I just give am.

Funny thing is, I actually had two orders coming the same time, the other one with speedaf, which i paid for, i never receive am till now like this.

While the Seller's Method was free and arrived in less than 3 weeks.

All these shipping things and their outcome is just hard to predict.

Plz, does anyone have any idea if speedaf office will be open tomorrow, or the holiday affect them?

The "Seller method and Tracking unavailable", does it come with " Tracking number"?.

because it'll be useless to pay for " shipment" to arrive late and it will arrive earlier when it's not paid (shipment) for.

SarcasticMe:


Are you ordering the same phone?
If so, how much did it all amount to?

What about you?

Please, how do you guys receive mail from speedaf about your orders? The order I made is in Nigeria already but no mail from speedaf about the item.

nothingzpoil:

I'm going to answer your question about shipping that's not in this quote. Let me address your statement above.

The question that led to my answer was based on registered and unregistered parcel. Paid shipping 85% of the time can be track when your order gets into Nigeria, on the other hand when the shipping is free tracking the item is limited, as you won't be able to track in Nigeria.

Also note that there are exceptions, you may opt for free shipping and when it gets to Nigeria a reputable couriers service (Speedaf) may pick it up and you'll be able to track the item, remember it's was free shipping.

So to answer you first question, If you've mastered the art of Patience and Forgetfulness, not being able to bother yourself of items on the way, them you can opt for "tracking unavailable" shipping. If you don't have a GF, get one whose name is Patience.

For the most times I've followed this thread no one has been able to crack the logistics algorithm of AliExpress when it comes to shipping, few have only tried to narrow it down, that's why you see comments like 'RB......SG is Nipost or NG.....0R is Speedaf.....

There are certain factors that determines how your order moves, factors like;
¤Location of Product Purchased
¤Shipping Method and Carriers
¤Customs Processing time
¤Human Errors
¤Unforeseen circumstances
¤etc

The problem with most people (New) on here is that they don't take their time to go back even if it's 3pages back to read, you'll most likely get the info you need. There was an argument of almost 3pages on how AliExpress chooses who handles what shipment and how those shipment reflect here in Nigeria, which fall to Nipost or Speedaf, when you choose between AliExpress Standard Shipping, Cainao Super Economy Global, Singapore Post, etc... but most don't read.

Burner ordered phone and it took 2weeks, even if he showed you all the steps he took and you followed suit, there's 50/50 probability that you may not enjoy the same satisfactory delivery he had. If you take your time go back 2pages, you'll notice people complaining about customs delay since the beginning of this month, most paid for shipping, if you then go back 10pages more, you'll see people complaining about items stuck at Nipost, some of these items were also paid for, some were free shipping.

Most of the shipping on AE is 50/50, you might pick free shipping and get fast delivery, pick paid shipping and delayed delivery, might be vice-versa.

You can also opt for DHL or FedEx for peace of mind also, that if you can meet up with the shipping charge and know that Customs is 100% sure.

The only thing I can say is, from the experience of others, avoid these shipping methods and location for peace of mind;
Signpost........(when I compile them, I'll update) I've forgotten.... If anyone has any, you can add as well.

What about you?

I don't know what rate you're using to calculate but I'm very certain this amount isn't right at all.

I feel like people should know by now that AliExpress rate is not the same as bank rate

NACE13:


Hello. Has Access bank resumed international transactions with Visa Naira card?

No, I even had to call them to confirm but they advised I open a dollar account with them and get a dollar card. But I didn't.

Now, I'm using Payoneer virtual card and it has been going swiftly. Have not experienced any issues with them yet.

Alfabest07:
were you able to fund your card though?

Sorry for late reply. Yes, it takes it fund from my Payoneer account fund. Just fund your payoneer and connect it to the card.

Meister:

It's right, with shipping fee 184

Serenitys:

just know u are going to spend more than that 220k if u are using normal bank card (which is impossible due to spending limit) and ur next possible option is barter which is almost 280k so AliExpress naira rate don’t matter as you have to convert to current dollar rate

Being a Nigerian doesn't mean i am limited to banking only in Nigeria..
Nairaland will always show you different untrained beings mtchew.

loverbo1:

Good morning guys, please have anybody received refund with Barter card?

Secondly, if one have multiple cards on his Aliexpress account, which one will Aliexpress use for refund?

If you're not banking in Nigeria why then are you telling us the rate in naira ? Are you trying to stunt on us or what ?

Goodnuel:
Hello guys.

My order shows it has arrived the speedaf in my location but it has not been assigned to any rider... I also haven't received any calls from them.

It's been like this for 10 days now.

Anybody experiencing the same thing?

Go to their office if that's the case cause they'll return it if it exceeds a certain time

Saintmaker01:

They'll refund you on the card you paid with obviously.
Barter has probably the fastest refund time, you'll even receive your refund before AE shows that refund is successful

Oh. Okay. Thank You.

Never been to their office before. Their office should be within Nipost premises, right?
