dont mind these guys scaring u away from buying from aliexpress here, just get a gtb mastercard, paypal or uba africard, do ur purshase and thats it, ur good will arrive in no time. but before u buy make sure u view the rating of the seller, (mostly the replies of people that have bought similar goods from him, the more positive feedbacks the better for u), and look out for the amount of star rating the seller has at the top right hand corner of the page of the product u wish to buy, goodluck to u. they have good phones, no be everything wey come from china be fake.

When buying a used product on net.The things to watch out for are the pictures of the phone,the condition of the phone and other vital hidden problems which will always be told by the seller.This will be vetted by the company(Aliexpress)...If u are not satisfied do a pm bro the seller and ask other questions...you can even tell him to review the price which he can agree to.

Know that new phones come out every 6-8 months in these countries and they have a high purchasing power.So the tendency of changing there phn every year is high...

Good luck

@ op no one is discouraging you from buying on aliexpress, but the truth be told you want a branded phone like sammy, htc apple, LG and you shop from China.? Those sellers will insist it's original whereas it's another thing... My little advice if you want to get Chinese made phones like doogee thl Elephone etc you are safe. But if you want Samsung or htc oyo u dey....

it's not the authenticity of AE but the product he wants to get.
Re: Buying phones from alibaba pros and cons by jazz04(m): 3:29pm On Jun 11, 2015
bro, those refurbished phones are 100% original... some are repaired and repackaged, while others were simply swapped for an upgraded to the initial owner. But the accessories that come with them are not originals.

you might get lucky and also unlucky. because according to feedbacks, some get phones not working properly.... even at that, you can get your full money back if the phone is defective....

what shipping method do you wish to use?

I bought 1 Xiaomi mi4 and it's been awesome with great quality. Buyers protection is what made aliexpress wonderful.
If you didn't get what was specified, you get 99% of your money. Read feedback from other buyers and store rating before buying from any store

it's quite simple, before u click to buy any good first click where they wrote transport there u ll know if the selected good will be shipped to Nigeria, most goods on aliexpress are shipped to Nigeria. Then click the buy tab and everything there is self explanatory. Like ur name, address, email, phone number etc
