Good Afternoon Friends.

Please, I need your help with getting a Gadget from Aliexpress. A laptop actually.

I will appreciate a step by step approach on how to go about it.

Also, I intend to use a UBA naija ATM for the transaction.

Is it allowed?

Please epp me o o
Thanks in advance.

UBA MasterCard and Africard only work at 12am -12:02 am... Apart from this period,you won't be able to use the UBA ATM card till the next 12am... Get Access bank Visa card and experience smooth business....

Based on laptop you want to buy, from experience, their own issue is on battery. I have used AliExpress laptop but battery was the only issue and it's unbranded in nature..
So, it's advisable to buy branded laptops from eBay and co.
Thanks.

Abeg ooo, why can't we fund $100 outrightly oooo, it's so frustrating buying $10 over and over again. What gives?

I heard that CBN has now pegged dollar at N375/$ PTA and school abroad:

https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2017/02/18/cbn-pegs-dollar-rate-for-school-fees-pta-at-n375/

The question is, will this affect our online purchase of phones and other items on sites like AliExpress?

Why not buy $50 twice?

Dam5reey:


What bank? Is it your cards?

Yup. It's the app that is having the issue not my card.

Gptech:

Can't do that as it keeps throwing out error, just the $10 that's acceptable.

You can try on your app though. The problem is with the app.

Nope it cant affect sites like alixpress,because interbank rates is diff from what cbn posted,if we wia to buy dollar at interbank rates it wud always flutuate,for example today it was 305 but gtb pegged dias at 320permanant to avoid such flutuations,now back to the matter,remb dos paying for school fees abroad cant be subjected to 100dollar limit like we are monthly,so cbn deviseed a means in which rather than sourcing at blackmarket rate,dey allow dis rate 375 for dos who which to mk such payment and the highest any individual can purchase is 15k dollars which would only work tru wire transfer,

Hp u understand a bit,not too gud at explanation

it is well maami...
Im all down anytime ya need me buh it also depends on ur budget too....

I believe it's because of the Australian card, in fact it should be, I had similar experience last year when trying to order for a phone from Geekbuying using a South African PayPal account. Transaction was declined and had to wait for about a week for Paypal to refund. Maybe similar issue is affecting your Australian card.

thanks but other minor things I bought with the same card went through and have actually been shipped. could it be that it was because my account was not verified as the time in question and they saw the amount I attempted to spend (less than $500) though..

i have reordered again this morning though. The customer care robot gave me a misleading info that they do not accep debit mastercard which is not correct as people here have made me understand

willian10:

Yes @bolded, it's very simple, tell the person with the card in Australia to create an account to buy it nd use ur naija address as the shipping address, better still create a new account with Australia VPN. Make sure the account is verified

thanks. they processed other cheaper items paid for with the same card..I will also like to know more about the australua VPN thing and how to get the account verified since I don't have any document to back it up that am in Australia

Aphrygian:
fanks soo much for the response, pls for how many days should i project for it to enter Nigeria.

I paid for something on the 1st, it 'shipped' on 7th (Chinese holiday palaver)

it was 'dispatched' to Lagos on 15th

it still hasn't landed in Nigeria today 21st



on the other hand, some other things ive ordered before have been collected within 10 days


so tailor your expectations accordingly.

The first two are around $300 each, while the xiaomi is over $700.

Has anyone purchased on aliexpress since gtb announced their ban on international transactions last weekend?

You can still buy using your GTB card.

To those whose AliExpress app is showing prices in Naira:

Have you tried to buy anything?
Does it go?

Because the rate they are using is less than the bank's conversion rate so I doubt the bank will honour the transaction as they would make a loss because they'd have to remit the dollar equivalent to AliExpress .
I could be wrong though.

Can someone test with a very cheap item?
http://s.aliexpress.com/bQf6FBf2
Costs 19 cents (roughly ₦60)

Tell ur relative in Australia to create an account with his info, he'll just have to change the shipping address to urs in Nigeria, I won't advise u to use VPN
