cheesy

I am thinking of buying note 9 pro; Chinese version with Global ROM.

I am not a fan of using the "latest" phones which are overpriced. My strategy is to stay 2 versions behind.
Lol.. I might try something different when I'm ready to leave the club.. grin Oppo or Poco perhaps grin RN10Pro is another banger, but I'm sure Xiaomi will create something better in the coming years..

I have been using redmi note 5 pro for almost 4 years and no problem. Although it is the Chinese version with global rom, which I learnt is stronger.
I recently replaced the screen and battery. As it is now, I can use it for another 2 years.

Following up on this, I visited my PO earlier this morning and queried them on the delay...even showing them the mail from Adekunle. I was told to remain patient as I wasn't the only one with same problem of delay. As she said, Nigerian Customs now has an office at Awka and until they clear the said item, it'll never be released, and this takes time - not to mention the additional time it'll take Nipost to move the item after clearance. Omo I shock sha shocked Gonna still verify this tho
To anyone residing in Anambra and making orders with Anambra address, now you know why your items are being delayed.
With the continous sit-at-home orders, backlogs go dey pile up.. Omo we go wait tire shocked
Follow up:

So after 87 days (2 months & 27 days) of painful wait, I collected my March order yesterday noon from my PO - Unexpectedly got a call from the attendant. This's without doubt the longest wait I've ever endured. I already lost hope of it ever coming, but I remember a guy here reporting of having to wait for 3 months & 1 week to collect his order.. And so I clinged on to the tiniest of hopes..
Glad it finally arrived. And hey, if you must know, the supreme quality of this product made me instantly forget the anguish of waiting. What an absolute sound monster this speaker.. & to think I used coupon codes to drop the price in March..This machine completely destroys JBL equivalents Lmao! It's no contest! Lol. Absolutely worth every penny!
BTW major lesson learned: Your patience must be infinite while dealing with Nipost especially if you live in the east currently. Always remind your seller to ship with Speedaf even if you know it won't make any difference. I think it worked for me a couple of times or maybe just a coincidence.. I'll continue doing it regardless. The fear of Nipost is the beginning wisdom.
Thank you for coming wink

Story ends.

Hmm Tried making an order worth $19.40, but it never went through "....card limit" blabla, even when I haven't used the card in over 2months
Was your order worth up to mine bro? I think they reviewed the limit to something below $15 or so

I was at first bank to complain about declined card on my AliExpress transactions and I was told CBN had directed that they all stop international transactions with naira cards be it visa, master or whatever service provider. First bank's monthly limit for dollar transaction was 50 dollars before this development.
Wow. And they didn't even bother to duly inform their "esteemed customers"?
It is just a matter of time before Gomoney joins the list.. I may have made my last AE purchase last night until the Forex nightmare ends.. Barter? I can't, abeg

Wow. So it is true, after all. Thank you.
Very true. Tried last night.. "card declined".

BTW, I think First Bank further reviewed their dollar limits to something below $20 without informing anyone.. Got "...limit exceeded" while trying to make an order of $19.20. This's coming even when I haven't used the card in over 2 months.

My bro this's all frustrating.. So if I don't have a connect my package would just remain unaccounted for?
BTW I don't think that they meant Awka was the final destination from their response. "...waiting collection" could mean waiting to be collected by their agent & delivered to my PO or maybe not. But I seriously hope it doesn't have to do with anything "rerouting". My town is just a few km away from Awka & so I'm wondering the real reason for the delay.
I plan on visiting my PO tomorrow & showing them the mail & then asking if there's anyway they can help me get my package sorted at Awka.
I've also considered going to Awka myself to see if I can claim it directly from there.. I wonder if they'd listen to me since Awka wasn't the destination address on the package..?

[color=#0000ff]They won't respond to that enquiry AFAIK. If you have a connect at your PO, ask him to help you enquire from Awka. If you have a proxy in Awka, s/he can go to make enquiry about the package with your details. If it's for you, a rerouting request can be initiated at that instance or you initiate from your end as someone said rerouting automatically isn't available anymore.

Just checked the package reviews from Nigerians & just two days ago a guy was complaining of same issue of long waiting periods & even warning the store to stop sending via SG.. He'd just received his package after over 60 days of waiting & he used his review slot to plead with the store to stop sending via SingPost but Speedaf instead lol.. It's that frustrating! I equally do same!

*Anker is the store. You're welcome
Technology MarketRe: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by Reddington(m): 9:56pm On May 20, 2022
So it's 3 more days until my protection time runs out and I still haven't gotten this particular package. The 4 separate items ordered this month shipped via Speedaf have all been received.
I wrote Nipost on Tuesday & got a reply that my package was "..at delivery location Awka awaiting collection." since the 16th of April, even when I used NNE as delivery address lmao. My follow-up response to the mail demanding to know who was supposed to collect the parcel & reasons for delay wasn't replied.
This's all funny, guys. Easily my worst experience with Nipost. I actually feel sorry for some sellers on Aliexpress; imagine incurring losses thanks to an infinitely incompetent & super horrible postal service.
At this point, I wouldn't wish Nipost on my worst enemy.

I saw that in the gomoney app. But I am wary of the caveat "subject to changes".

I'm yet to use go money for any purchases though. Maybe my next purchase will be with the virtual card.

My bro and I finally decided to dump our Redmi note 5 since 2018. It's been a good journey with it.
So we upgraded to RN 10 pro. Enjoying it so far. Thanks to oga Macbeyland. Having the best price out there.
Lovely. Sad that you decided to leave us. I feel so emotional right now cry
RN5ai is an absolute legend & I haven't seen any need for an upgrade. This machine is over 4 years old & still performing optimally, baring the little drop in the battery stamina which is absolutely normal & expected. Truly one of Xiaomi's best.
RN10 Pro is a worthy upgrade TBH.. Hoping to upgrade to something much better in the future. I really don't care the brand, provided it gives me exactly what I want at a reasonable price. Transsion is off limits tho grin
Congrats on your upgrade bro wink

Will Nigeria improve this way. Paying ₦400 is not the issue.

The issue is why should I be paying for their own inability?

What will it cost them to open a tiny shop at Nnewi? A sensible company should know that since it's their fault they should not be charging us for now.

DHL, EMS, FEDEX, UPS, GIG, RedStar are all here.

Sincerely speaking, NIPOST is far better for me than this stupid people except for the stolen tablet. NIPOST would delay it, I put dispute collect my money back. After few weeks they call me, I go collect the parcel. Which is now 100% free.
I guess they'll still open an office in Nnewi; it is only a matter of time. In terms of economic/biz activities, Nnewi is razor-thin close to Onitsha. And so why not Nnewi, if Onitsha?
The N400 isn't necessary TBH, but no one can do much about it. It's their biz; they run it whatever way they want lol. If you must blame anyone, it's Aliexpress for sending your packages to Speedaf.
But wait, NIPOST stole your tab?

@NNEWI ALIEXPRESS SHOPPERS.
WHY DID WE KEEP SILENT WHILE SPEEDAF IS ROBBING US.

IS IT BECAUSE YOU THINK ₦400 IS TOO SMALL? ₦400 EVERY WEEK DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT IS?

YES! IT IS SMALL, BUT FORCING US PAY IT WITH ONLY ONE OPTION IS VERY BAD. ITS DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.

FORCING US TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN INABILITY IS VERY BAD AND ITS STEALING.

LET US RISE UP TODAY AND SAY NO TO CHARGING US EXTRA ₦400 TO DELIVER OUR PARCELS HERE AT NNEWI.

IF IT MUST BE SELF PICK UP, LET THEM OPEN OFFICE HERE AT NNEWI, LET'S COME FOR SELF PICK UP.

WE ARE OVER 1000 PEOPLE HERE THEY'RE SERVING. WE ARE ENOUGH FOR THEM TO OPEN A SPOT FOR US NO MATTER HOW SMALL AND STOP CHARGING US EXTRA MONEY UNTIL THEY OPEN OFFICE.

IT IS NOT OUR FAULT THEY DON'T HAVE OFFICE AT NNEWI.

DON'T KEEP SILENT AND UNBOTHERED. LET'S DEMAND OUR RIGHT.

THANK YOU.
Good point, bro. But I'd rather thankfully pay N400 or even N1k and get my package delivered to me fast, than having to wait a thousand years to get my order.
At this point I'd do anything to avoid Nipost. It's been 1 month & 11 days since my item "arrived country of destination" via SingPost & still haven't gotten a call!
