Hope it's not that something is wrong with all shipments done on Oct 2nd . I have items shipped on Oct 6th in Nigeria already. Eh!

have your parcel arrived?

I've been trying to get an item on Aliexpress for months now but I couldn't because I'm having issues with my card issuer. I tried calling Zenith customer care they told me they didn't recognize any of my purchase attempts. I'm really confused and frustrated, what is really painful about this nonsense is that the price of the product is increasing as the day runs by. I really need your advice and opinions please

Try it with another bank card, like GT Bank. I experienced same last week with my First Bank MasterCard. I reached out to them and it's like they didn't understand me so I used my GT and it worked.

I don't have GT bank master card :I tried using Firstbank same issue occurred '(

Nope I didn't. It was actually first time users sales

tugrow:
TUGROW1688 is 100% legit, nothing to fear.

Do you ship from Hong Kong?

It is still in a way a coupon and of recent not all sellers accept coupons.

I didn't use any coupon code and moreover can I seller reject my card? I'm still new please

Not the card. But the payment. I encountered such error lady month when I used a coupon but I was debited and the money reversed two days later, if you weren't debited no cause for alarm, you can try another card like someone suggested.

By the way how much was the item you were paying for in dollars?

That's because it's lithium. Lithium batteries (both small and big) are prohibited items on air planes, so shipping such is via sea cargo which takes up to three to six months in transit. But if it will have to be shipped via air, then it may have to be thru expedited shipping like DHL, FedEx et Al and those are expensive.

Don't be surprised after paying that much money for shipping and the carrier turns out to be AESS. Sellers are trying to cash out with lithium battery shipping.

The only two times I have successfully received a lithium battery without expensive shipping from AE was two years ago. Even clicking on the same seller/item now, it says "seller does not ship to your country".

Does this last update means my item is in the PO?

It shows it is now in Nigeria. I don't know if this shipping method supports tracking to your Local P.O

All those coupons thingy of AE I keep saying are most times dud. Only coupons that have worked for me are those individual store discount coupons that when you want to buy 5k worth of item from a particular store they say "you get 700 naira discount when you increase your order in that store to 13k naira" etc.

The only AE first timer that I know successfully paid for the item with the first time coupon ended up NEVER getting the item till date (that was early 2019) and in hindsight I could have sworn that the seller did not ship that item because of the coupon thingy meanwhile the buyer was expecting the parcel and got disappointed when tracking was not forthcoming. As at January this year because of that experience, he's still much doubtful that seamless shopping on AE is possible even when I have evidences for him.

So it might be that your first time user coupon is what is giving the issue especially if you the same response using different functional debit cards. So in order to be sure, re-add the same item to your cart this time with no coupons and try to pay for it.

Thank you boss. I'll place a call across to the PO tomorrow.

Cos most airlines dont allow battery cargo cos of fire risk.
So shippers have to use alternative methods. I used 35usd to ship a battery of 10usd.dhl.
Though you can ship upto 5 pieces at about same price

it is very fast in getting it to destination but afterwards,it begins to move slowly.
getting it to Nigeria is faster than getting it from lagos to ur destination most likely bcus its unregistered
