Guys, please help. I dunno what to do anymore. I ordered a phone on aliexpress using mi global store, two weeks ago. I used the DHL shipment method. Its just been one delay to another, from seller now to DHL. I dunno what to do anymore. They want to do physical examination on my parcel? Seller declared it as $41, actual price is above $200. I'm afraid I might be asked to pay custom duties. I used my savings to buy this phone(mi6x).

please is there anyway anyone can help me, I dunno what to do anymore. please please please
expect their email

That is actually a common myth.

Unless you're using all these low quality 5v 0.5A chargers, using your phone while charging doesn't change your charging time. If you get over 3 hours and you think it's because you're using it while charging, you're mistaken.

That being said i didn't use the phone while charging except to check and take screenshots in order to calculate charging time accurately.

You can try it from 15%, take screenshot before and then at 90% and then 97-100% to reflect how much time has passed. It may surprise you how long it takes.
it changes ur charging time. Using the phone while charging leads to increase in temperature, the phones charges slower when the temperature is high, this is not a myth. Temperature apart, your phone screen is part of what drains battery most so definitely having ur screen on and in use while charging takes its toll on the charging speed also.

DHL is mad..... When my redmi 6 pro arrived on Monday, the value declared by the seller was $45, but the original price was $145 and customs did not even care to open.And I only used #300 to clear it

Its total extortion if they are charging you high for clearance; highest should be #500 max. Besides, they charge according to size not price(normally)

What's the weight of the item?

lollllllllllllllll, #500 as custom fee via DHL? No freaking way. Will be in thousands.

You shld have kindly asked on here befor attempting to use dhl to ship your item,

Touts on here could have landed the mi 6x for you as well,without having to go tru dhl.

Expect to get a phone call/email from them,

You might be billed as high as 30k thou,speaking from experience,

Its best to avoid DHL to ship fones from china,

As customs are on high alert this days.

Once again, Mr. Noobody delivers.

This Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro is too sweet. cry . Just too sweet.

Prefer the bigger screen, the notch and feels a bit sleekier compared to my Sister's Redmi Note 5 Pro AI. Got that from Ifedith.

Welcome me officially to the family guys.

Thanks Noobody. You just earned yourself a loyalist.

Welcome boss,very glad it worked out great,all thanks to God and thanks for the continued trust,

Enjoy the new device,

Cheers

There is an online program where u can make N30,000 - N50,000 monthly by just opening pages. Pls this is not a scam and it's for real. Tested and trusted. It's not MMM and nothing like it. As long as u use a smartphone (Xiaomi and the rest). If u are interested and need more information just WhatsApp me on 08024015030.

Thanks for reading.

Ok.. They drop news daily every 24hrs. And each time u login per day u are paid N50 ( u are paid for one login per day). When u post a sponsored post from their website to ur Facebook page u are paid N100 per post. If u read each news u are also paid N2 per news. For example It's like nairaland posting news everyday and whenever u click on the news they pay u. If u refer people (which is not necessary) u are paid N1,000 per referral. So for more money referral is bae. If u comment on a news page u are paid N2 ( that's per news o). Go checkout the number of news posted on nairaland and imagine if u are paid for opening/reading and commenting, plus login in everyday. Like I said for more information WhatsApp me on 08024015030

U can make more than N1,000 per day for just doing all these even without referrals. And it's good for everyone ( Workers, Students etc) just as long as u want to make Extra income by the side.

You ship via DHL, pay higher money for shipping , expecting to get your item within 48hours. Now Nigeria customs 'catch or arrest' your package, detain it for 5 to 15 days , call you, and charge you almost 50% of the valued items, still delay it because you don't have much money to pay them
At last you are able to pay after borrowing additional money after 3 weeks of negotiations and sleepless nights. Time wasted , fast shipping turned to nightmare.

But shipping directly from AliExpress through standard shipping is free, and 85% of the time you get your item less than 2 weeks , and you pay less than 1k to clear it and you are happy.
Then lastly shipping from touts here that have it in stock take less than 3 days you get your item and most atimes with freebies. You should think twice before you take any orders these days. Avoid DHL totally if you can. To be patience at times makes a lot of senses. Be wise , be guided.
