We learn and also unlearn everyday.

I gave my reasons for Jumia (Custom charge palaver and affordable home delivery). You never countered my points with benefits of your own choices.

Only another person explicitly said you get to see more vendors on AliExpress with lesser price.

For novice like us, when you disprove our points, give us the benefits of your own choice.

Hope I made sense...
ok .

Aliexpress is preferable. Imagine I ordered a perfume of #1400 on Jumia only for them to charge me #1700 for shipping. Rubbish!
Hmmmm

To the best of my knowledge, When it comes to statutory laws of the land on your item, and you fail to oblige, AliExpress will not refund you. My emphasis is on custom charge. I am not saying, don't pay as a good citizen of Nigeria, but following recent trends in Nipost writing arbitrary custom charge that is equivalent or more than half the cost price of the phone, I will say Jumia is best option for now, at least you are seeing the custom charge N600. Not the one, your item will land Nipost and one dude will slap a receipt and want to rip you off. For DHL, they are known to submit parcel to custom for check. Thats their policy, no corner corner. Except, you are bringing it to our knowledge that the trusted shippers here know how to deal with custom favourably or bypass the hassle. Fine
You are basing your argument on phones alone? What about other items like phone accessories, clothes, memory cards, cameras, etc?

But they're not mates to start with. AliExpress is on another level. Jumia orders through AliExpress sef. Respect your elders.

Aliexpress is cheaper, but the waiting after placing order is what I don't enjoy.
Like how much will they charge me for custom/nipost duty if the phone gets to their office here

I've ordered more than twenty times on aliexpress and the rest of them, only paid 500 naira at the post office and even the money is negotiable. Aliexpress all the way!
I ordered a phone from Aliexpress and am already scared of how much they'll charge me for custom/nipost duty.

Am in Nasarawa State.
Any idea how much?

Like how much will the custom or Nipost duty cost?

I ordered for a phone on Aliexpress and am so scared how much they'll charge me before I collect the package.

Any slightest idea?

It's dependent on the officials at your local post office. A friend that bought a phone was charged 1k and eventually paid #500 after a serious begging. Lol
The Max they can charge is 1k for a phone cos it's not weighty.

*Sighs*
Now I can have rest of mind.
Cos 1k is no biggie, even though it's illegal.
