Hi guys

I just ordered for an item (cleaning/sweeping machine) on Aliexpress and it will be delivered through DHL. Will I have to pay extra charges at DHL when it arrives?

If the item isn't too heavy and customs don't think it as consequential, you may escape them. But if they should ever think of it to be in the leagues of smart devices like iPhone and android phones dem, you'll pay heavy.

Am new to this, How long do you think it'll take? Because nah the most important of the orders get that LP.

"LP" orders go thru the same weeks of purgatory that NIPOST is renowned for.

Patience is key and most important at this critical period. Then prayer comes second, that the item does not go missing.

Oh, okay. Ńa you be Jude.

Perhaps the guy simply signed it as received with the sincere intention to look for you/contact you what ever it takes and have the item delivered rather than wasting time repeatedly updating the tracking information with "recipient did not pick his call".

Please contact him with the number on the tracking info as soon as possible.

When parcels are delivered especially by the speedaf bike guys, they usually have the recipient append his/her signature in a log book against the parcel number and also sign on the parcel itself beside the tracking qr code. Then they use their mobile phone to snap all these as evidence before they hand the parcel over to you. The update on the tracking always reflects the identity of the person who collected the item. There has been a time when my Mother-in-law collected one as I was absent, after it was signed for and handed over, right in front of the house gate the dispatch guy called to inform me who signed for the item and I thanked him. Later, I was amused to see the update as "parcel signed for by grandma".

In cases where I visit their office to pick my "R" items even though they should be home delivered, they use their phone to scan the qr code on the item and it immediately updates on the tracking info. Then they hand it over to you. If you're new, they will require some form of identification to confirm you are the one the item is meant for but in my own case, I'm already a regular there.

From my interaction, I also discovered that these two delivery routes (the speedaf people with office and the speedaf guys on dispatch rides) are completely different arrangements with no official interaction or connection whatsoever. I initially thought they work together. With whatever algorithm DC-LOS uses which I am yet to figure out, your item gets distributed to either of both terminations and from the tracking info of either "T3" or "T2" (meaning termination, I think), I'm usually able to tell which of these two that I have encounters with will likely bring my item.

Note that if there is a T2 and T3, then there will likely be a T1. But I've not had an encounter with a T1 before.

Also there seems to have been an update to the DCs (Distribution Centre) of recent. Initially it used to be DC-LOS) and then to Termination (T) for the south west, but there are three items that I'm currently tracking and realised that there is now a DC-IBD where the item first went to from DC-LOS.

So in case things turn ugly, ask for all those evidences and of course you can take it up with speedaf main office along those lines of argument.

Thank you for making out time to explain to me what should be done. I have called the delivery guy's number, but it's switched off. I have been trying intermittently for the past 10hrs. I think the next line of action will be to visit their office. Thanks once more.

Please, what's the normal price I'm supposed to pay?

Highest is 100 naira

Wait this dollar card of a thing. the rate is crazy.
I want to buy a phone of 400 dollar and is showing 164k on AliExpress but on calculating it with chippers dollar card rate at 710/dollar I was shocked seriously.
Or did I calculate it wrong.

Samnonyellow:


Any other way I can buy something over $20 at a decent rate?

God I hate this country.

What a stupid country I remember buying my redmi note 7 pro around 70k+ now this stupid country has ruin everything how can I buy a phone which is showing 164k on AliExpress 270k+ because of dollar ban bullshit.

Today is almost over as they must have closed.
Before you visit their office for physical confrontation, I'll suggest you write to Speedaf.

Lay a complaint about what happened with a screenshot of tracking info from their site, and also a screenshot of having tried the dispatch rider's number on several occasions.

Then tomorrow morning you can visit the office.

Have you tried RAVEN ? their verification process is very swift. And they also lunched their virtual card service yesterday... Which supports international usages also... if anyone would try it don't forget to use my referral link..
ravenbank. page. link/YW9KYHLQagaC4cue6

They only issue virtual verve card and information available says AE doesn't accept verve.

Rayliousity:
There is Naira card and USD card option ... And the USD is Visa

I have been trying to create and they're telling me insufficient balance.

Have you successfully created yours?

What I have noticed is that on most occasions, that number written against their name is not available, and for obvious reasons - diversion tactics, I suspect. The numbers they call me with is totally different from the one on the tracking.

Visiting their office is the next line of action. Also you may need to find their email and send a mail to them ahead lodging your complaint. Try googling their website. That may also get you a faster response before you are able to get to their office.

The seller proposed half refund "in his message chat with you" but apparently went ahead to give zero refund (do not refund) in the dispute page AE arbitration team is concerned with. The seller is being dishonest.

So I suggest that before you reject the proposal, you should chat up the seller again and show him the screenshot. If he fails to answer on time (within 12hrs), reject his proposal and make your own proposal, typing in the amount you deem right for the agreed half amount. Then in addition, upload the screenshot of the chat where he agreed to half refund to the arbitration page.

This is for those finding it difficult to pay above 100usd.

I am going to be offering 3 solutions.

1. Go to providus bank and open an account. Deposit 5000 in the account. Request for a platinum master card. This card allows you 3000usd limit monthly.
Note: the charge at black market rate. As of now 690 or so.

2. Download Vella finance and register verify account and apply for a virtual card.

3. Go tp gaakpay dot afriac. Register and get an account. You can even get a usd account here. After verification. Get the virtual card

Rates are between 670-690 for all this cards.

Enjoy...

Please share this for others to see and get solutions.

Customs clearance 4 days now and counting, speedaf back to default?

I think it should be unlimited since they charge at black market rate.

The account details I was given is WEMA Bank account though and since it is a virtual dollar card, the limit will be quite high if there's actually a limit.
