OCTAVO:I went yto first bank this afternoon to ask how much it would cost. they said the would charge me at 390 to a dollar. its a no no. Instead get two friends with gt account. ..transfer into their account then fund your alipocket then make your purchase. Forget the western Union part of it. |

Except u have d 500 dolls hard currency.. Buying at d xchange rate is high.. Against 320 Ali express charges on our gtb.. So u go lose more.. If u want to spend more Dan 500, u either use ur family ND frnds gtb or access, purchase 500 alipocket, or u open a domicillary account. If u want to use western union, u have to hint d agent first, then pay.. Just know Ali will serve as a middleman, in dis transaction. Wen ur goods arrive, Ali will pay the agent.. This method is much longer, cos d agent go message u tire. OCTAVO: |

Are both accounts well funded, like up to 25k on both cards? Cos im sure u want to purchase 70 Ali pockets... From both accounts.. I dnt know about access charges, but gt charges 320. Have u tried using a laptop? HarveySpecter1: |
Re: I Want To Order A Phone From Aliexpress I Want Advice From Gurus by Protein0: 9:22pm On Apr 19, 2017 |
HarveySpecter1: Yes you can use two cards for 1 item. Infact, you can use 50 or more, as long as the system accepts them. Hmm. Welcome to the "republic of appeal" Log in with a PC and click on my orders. You'll see "you've an appeal in progress" msg. Click "want to appeal" and upload the necessary documents as required. You can use chrome on phone but load desktop site. You can do this from your chrome setting. You can try paying using a PC if you don't find the appeal msg. I hope this helps. Further clarifications? let me know |

My advice? Don't buy those phones which seems to have great features at very low prices. The truth is that the cost of replacing something when it spoils is the same prices as the phone. Plus, no after sales care is really daunting. I suggest that you go for brands like Tecno and other phones to suit your budget |

Bottom line - Buying (especially expensive items) from them is hit/miss. Buy at your own risk. Remember, they are mainly a front for 3rd party sellers. |

Spicylate:Wow, that's like a waste. Thoughts of buying on Aliexpress has crossed my mind too with the way folks talk about it on here. Like it's the best place to get stuffs. I'll rather keep on getting stuffs readily available in Naija then like dem Tecno phones with first hand user experience. |
Re: I Want To Order A Phone From Aliexpress I Want Advice From Gurus by HarveySpecter1: 12:57pm On Apr 22, 2017 |
Protein0: Bro, you are 100% right. I have uploaded the documents requested for so theycan authorise the use of my access bank ATM. Processingwill take 1-3 days. I have a little problem. I need to buy a $150 phone. Can I also registered my friend s ATM card just like I did mine. Tried that but it isn't going thru. |
Re: I Want To Order A Phone From Aliexpress I Want Advice From Gurus by Protein0: 2:13pm On Apr 22, 2017 |
HarveySpecter1: what do u mean by registering atm card? |
Re: I Want To Order A Phone From Aliexpress I Want Advice From Gurus by HarveySpecter1: 2:29pm On Apr 22, 2017 |
Protein0: Phone is $150. Used my access bank ATMto buy $100 alipocket fund Want to use my friend's ATM to buy an additional $50 alipocket fund. Message that " this process can not be completed at this time" came up. |
Re: I Want To Order A Phone From Aliexpress I Want Advice From Gurus by Protein0: 2:43pm On Apr 22, 2017 |
HarveySpecter1: if i can get u right, u already have $100 in ur alipocket gotten with ur access visa card, after appealing it. you then tried using ur friend's card to buy $50 but got the error msg above. if yes, try to appeal ur friend's card just as u did urs or as i highlighted it in my previous post |
Re: I Want To Order A Phone From Aliexpress I Want Advice From Gurus by HarveySpecter1: 3:17pm On Apr 22, 2017 |
Protein0: The appeal on my ATM card is still being processed. Takes 3 days. Tried to do same with my friend's card and it isn't even going at all. When I clicked on the 50$ alipocket, that message came up. It has not even gotten to the stage where it would ask for card details. Is there any limits to the number or amount of alipocket that I can purchase? Or could it be cos I have an appeal that is being processed? |
Re: I Want To Order A Phone From Aliexpress I Want Advice From Gurus by rookidmart: 4:30pm On Apr 22, 2017 |
HarveySpecter1:You have a pending appeal . Note that you can't use any other card or perform any other transaction unless with the current amount in your AliExpress Pocket until the appeal is accepted. You can chat with the customer care agent from the App: Help->Live Chat to fast track your appeal. PS after your appeal is accepted wait for 24 hours before trying to use the card or risk having to appeal again |
Re: I Want To Order A Phone From Aliexpress I Want Advice From Gurus by HarveySpecter1: 4:56pm On Apr 22, 2017 |
rookidmart: Thanks. I will as you adviced. |
Re: I Want To Order A Phone From Aliexpress I Want Advice From Gurus by HarveySpecter1: 11:00am On Apr 26, 2017 |
Protein0: Sup bro, my appeal has Benn approved and guess what? I still couldn't make payment because ATM cards from Nigeria are no longer supported to make payments on AliExpress.com. A customer care representative told me this today. |
Re: I Want To Order A Phone From Aliexpress I Want Advice From Gurus by Bossman(m): 1:51pm On Apr 26, 2017 |
Common people! is it by force to buy these items from Aliexpress. There are more negative reviews about this company than positive, and Nigerians are still trying to take the risk. Just google for "scam by aliexpress". That should tell you all you need to know. |
Re: I Want To Order A Phone From Aliexpress I Want Advice From Gurus by Protein0: 1:57pm On Apr 26, 2017 |
HarveySpecter1: dont mind those cc, some of dem aint well informed. did u wait for at least 24hours after ur appeal was accepted b4 u tried d payment again? |
Re: I Want To Order A Phone From Aliexpress I Want Advice From Gurus by Protein0: 1:58pm On Apr 26, 2017 |
Bossman: why do u allow what u dont know to be ur rein? |
Re: I Want To Order A Phone From Aliexpress I Want Advice From Gurus by HarveySpecter1: 2:02pm On Apr 26, 2017 |
