hi guys, I ordered for a phone on 29th March on Aliexpress. first question, will there be customs charge, if yes, how much and how is payment made pls? second, with this covid, when can I expect the phone pls? thank you

1. NCS charge is by luck. If you're unlucky, you'll get their invoice. Amount is dependent on their how they value your item/phone. Payment is dependent on courier (if DHL, you'll pay before it leaves Lagos but if AliExpress Standard Shipping or any non express courier, you'll defray the attached NCS invoice at your NIPOST office before collection).

2. There is no sacrosanct delivery time cuz of this lockdown. Nothing is certain at this time but keep monitoring your item. This isn't the best time to order anything anywhere in the world.

Best of luck.

To those AliExpress shoppers: If a seller ships your order with EX......SG, kindly ask him to change it (if it hasn't been dispatched), else, be expecting NCS invoice to accompany your item to your PO.

farydah:
pls how do I know if there is EX or SG on my order. p.s I use the app to shop

Good morning, boss mi.

Jumia orders are not likely to be affected that much; not sure though. I have an inbound order via Jumia too, so, we should just de wait and see how this pans out.

Hello guys, well my Case is I ordered for a phone on the 13th of March, it shipped on the 17th by Aliexpress standard shipping, it left originating country on the 18th but hasn't still landed in Nigeria till now, the expected date for arrival according to Aliexpress is 2nd to 17th of April, and I am still waiting. I'm just a bothered that after 20 days it still hasn't landed in Nigeria. At least if it lands I'll know our interstate borders are the only things holding the delivery, but right now it's difficult to ascertain the exact cause of the delay. Really I just want that phone as soon as possible. Thoughts?

Exactly my situation too. My estimated delivery is 12th April and it was shipped since 9th of March. It is still showing in transit. I’m also confused as to why it is taking so long to atleast land in Nigeria. When it’s not as if the package is coming from another planet

The issues with this kinda cases is that the offices in Nigeria, NIPOST and NAHCO that updates the locations about the parcel is lockdown. Our parcels are under cargo, they would arrive or have prolly arrived but won't be updated not until the lockdown and restrictions of movement in our country is lifted.
I'm sure you don't expect a call from the post office in this lockdown. So just chill, don't be scared nor in a haste to open dispute. You're parcels are safe and would be accounted for. Last I checked.

jboixxx:
Very correct. There's an item that ought to have landed long time ago, I checked my tracking yesterday but still displayed 'on transit" but got a notification this evening that it has landed Nigeria since 21st of March!

We shouldn't be in a hurry to open dispute. Some of us know that sometimes, items would have been delivered but tracking would still be displaying "handover to airline" or "dispatched to overseas".

iKingsley:
is that AliExpress and are you saying you haven't logged in since 21st but this evening?

akashi01:
I guess the Post Office in your state is still active, right? Mine has been on the "handover to airline" since 21st of March too with no update since then. Final Destination: Abuja

jboixxx:
Not AliExpress tracking page but a third-party's. It's same item that's bee displaying in transit till yesterday that just changed to "arrival at destination country" and dated 21st of March.

This isn't new anyways. CPAM does that most times.

iKingsley:
Please, what is the maximum spending limit for Ecobank MasterCard holders on international POS?

jboixxx:
We all should be fair in our dealings and be reasonable. If you place order anytime from January, you should know that that time till now is a bad time everywhere and delays will surely be experienced. Rather than filling for disputes just cuz you haven't received your item, you can request for extension of your protection.

Delay from dispatch, delay from countries these cargoes would stop by to deliver to and delays + ineffective service delivery of our own NCS/IPMC and lockdown effect on NIPOST will surely cause delivery setbacks to Nigerians.

These guys are out there to make profits and we should not use this sorry situation we've found ourselves to benefit self unjustly.

If you can't wait for 60days and more, please, don't place orders now until lockdown is lifted or everything is okay globally.

Hello, I'm trying to order a device from Aliexpress and I want to know whether custom charges would have to be paid. Does it depend on method of shipping? Or is it wiser to use DHL?
