So, I've a situation on my hand right now. I ordered for a tpu case since on the 25th of Jan, but of course, because of the holidays, shipping was delayed till on the 3rd of Feb.

Now, my item was supposedly shipped out on the 3rd, but till today, it's still at the "Waiting for pick up" stage. So yesterday, I sent a msg to the seller asking why my item was still at pick up stage after 7 days of being shipped out. The seller got back to me, apologizing, telling me that there may have been an accident, probably why. And that if it's not delivered within the 'Purchase Protection' time, we could then renegotiate for either a refund or re-delivery.

My worry is, there is still over 50 days of purchase protection time remaining. I'm considering canceling the order. My question is, if I cancel the order, will I be automatically refunded? What exactly is the best course of action to take in such a case?

Meanwhile, my RN3 SE shipped through Aliexpress standard on the 2nd is almost here, and another flip case and glass shipped via China post registered mail on the 5th has gotten past a few stages.

You cannot cancel the order once it has shipped.

The 'waiting for pickup' message is not really an issue. It usually happens with shipping via China post.

Your item will eventually still get to Nigeria, albeit somewhat late. #patience

Just ordered this

You will love it, if your expectations are in line with what you paid for it relative to what it actually does. I bought mine last year.

Quick question; I want to order a $400+ phone on aliexpress. Just to confirm, could I buy five $100 alipockets and apply them all at checkout?

Nothing was handed over to any airline,I tell you. I traced the complaint down to SingPost and they didn't have the package in their database. The seller just booked down a tracking number which was never activated because SingPost never received the package.


Oga if you are tracking your order on singpost then you are in for a frustrating time . You will keep getting "this is not an acknowledgment blah blah blah" until it is dispatched",so using tracking on singpost as an evidence of nonshipment will mislead you.

I salute the house.. You guys are doing great..
I am a big fan of xiaomi.. I believe it's one of the best brands presently.. From last year till date, I had used redmi note 3 and redmi note 4..( trying to use as many xiaomi phones as possible cheesy)..
I stumbled on this trend and guess what?..
I was reunited with my child hood friend and brother..Step forward God'sPower aka Gptech...
Now I have placed orders for mi5 prime and Max pro prime.. grin

I was trying to help som1 order a phone ystday with a card dat is not mine and I was told to appeal. I av previously appealed twice, that of ystday made it d third time and av been uploading d same set documents for all d 3 appeals.



Wat baffled me most was that ystday when I was told to appeal, my friend's card dat landed me into d appeal mode was not among the cards/douments to be uploaded.



Any1 experienced dis b4 pls?
Aliexpress has hired a big bouncer for Your account, any card apart from the card you have successfully used before will keep landing you in the appeal page..my guess is u already have up to 4 cards used in ur account.. just give it a 2/3days rest after ur appeal,then try again with luck or just use one of the cards uve successfully used before.. #peace

I used the aliexpress android app for the description below:

On the home page, swipe from the left. Click on 'My account.' Scroll down and click on 'Shipping address' and then click on 'Add new address.'

Check the attached pictures for clarification.

Type your full address in the space provided, and Google for the postal code of your LGA. It will be shipped to the nearest post office.
(Alternatively you can input the post office address as your shipping address but you'll always have to go to their office to collect.)
Don't forget to input your phone number in the correct format so you can be notified when your package arrives.
Happy shopping.

How did you discover that it's hard bricked?
A phone cannot brick itself.
What error did you get with MiFlash?

Bro, I am scared and tired at d same time about this whole thing grin. I cnt use my verified cards again because av exceeded the normal $100 for the month. The owner of d phone sef don tire wit all dis wahala.



But what do u guyz suggest? I want to purchase a $204.99 phone (Mi Max) for som1. I av $190 in my alipocket already. I only need $14.99 to be able to purchase d phone. I wanted to use a gtb card to finish d transaction when I was told to appeal again. The card dat landed me in d appeal room was not among the document to be uploaded.


Should I try to fund my wallet with $20 after my appeal av been accepted or I should try complete the transaction through the card?



Cos I no wan enter dat appeal room again o embarassed
