Dear Nairalanders,

The Jelad crew wishes you a happy new year and may the year not bring tears and sadness but may it bring success, excellence and greatness.

Our target in 2015 is to make sure that your vehicles are cleared from the port or borders with ease,in time and without dents to your pockets.

In order to achieve this,we need to abide with some rules and we believe this will help us work better and faster in the year 2015.

1. Time wasters will no more be given priorities. What this means is that customers/potential customers who waste our time and time meant for other serious customers won't be given attention again,once we discover that you're in that category,we'll stop our discussions with you.

A sample picture of a time waster can be seen below. We wonder how a customer will believe he can get a 2012/13 Pilot for N2M and what has kept surprising us is that people still get scammed daily by agents who quote ridiculous prices in order to lure them into the market.

2. We will not accept jobs involving impounded cars,jobs transfered from custom officers or agent-agent jobs and we'll also stop handing out jobs to other agents. We'll only accept such jobs with a written note from the direct importer authorizing us to takeover such jobs,also we'll only accept the job of processing duties for smuggled vehicles if the vehicle registration papers are submitted and inspected by a police officer.


3. If your vehicle gets to seme border in the evening and we can't clear custom officials in time,the vehicle must either be parked at the vehicle seat of the Seme customs command or the importer must lodge in an hotel in Badagry or it's environs till the next day. If the importer insists on moving the same evening the vehicle gets to the border,he/she must give us a note authorizing us to hangover the vehicle.

4. Your custom duty papers come with what we call a Customs reference number and it's used to verify the authenticity of the documents,if any importer wants to verify before leaving the border,the vehicle will still be parked at the vehicle seat till the document has been verified by the asycuda unit of the local customs command.

5. If you're shipping your vehicle through cotonou port,you can start processing your duty papers immediately your shipping agency has acknowledged that it's in transit,this will go a long way in hastening the processing when the vehicle gets to the port.

6. We still process plate numbers,tint permit and comprehensive insurance and what we need are listed below-

A. Name
B. Address
C. VIN/Chassis
D. Engine number
E. Model of vehicle
F. Color

7. Only two agents are recognized by Jelad agency and they're authorized to change currencies for customers but kindly note that they'll only operate if an alert has been seen and verified.The banks at the border are listed below-

A. First bank
B. U.B.A
C. Ecobank
D. Diamond bank
E. Zenith bank
F. Union bank

If any transfer is done outside any of these designated banks,an alert must be seen before exchange is carried out.

8. If we give a quote and the customer insists on paying a lower rate,he/she must give us a written and signed document,this will be produced if the vehicle is impounded by NCS personnel as proof that the amount given to us was below the quote and we didn't skim out of it.

9. Our service is still N30,000 but it's negotiable for vehicles below 2005 and it must be paid before vehicles leave the border. Also note that deposits still remain at N30,000 for cars below 2005 and N50,000 for SUVs below 2005,N50,000 for cars above 2005 and N100,000 for SUVs above 2005.

10. We'll still continue with quoting asking prices plus custom duty payable. The reason we do this is just because we want you as the customer to prepare your mind and budget when coming into the market,also you're expected to bargain when you get to the market. Also note that bargaining can only be done by you,we will only bargain on your behalf if you've given us cash to act as proxy.

11. All vehicles must be checked by our mechanic but you can bring your personal mechanic for a second opinion buyt transactions will be stopped if the customer's mechanic starts acting funny,like asking for money in order to convince his employer or when he starts insisting he has better people who can handle your job,we'll stop transactions immediately.

12. We may not accept jobs from clients who go behind our backs into parks in Cotonou and they've been hooked by touts at the gates cos at the end,it endangers our people even when the customer has left with his/her vehicle. What customers don't understand is that you're going into another country where cultures and languages clash,the touts there are after your money and may even steal your money or organize for your vehicle to be stolen,they'll only leave you alone when they see that you're with a licensed agent.

Please note that this rules may seem harsh but they've been set as a guideline to a company that wants to give better and more efficient services to our numerous prospective and old customers in 2015.

Thanks.

By the way, Mr Gbenga, when you say Golf 3 is a no-go area for now, does this mean it's not available in coutonou right now?

It's available in large quatities but exchange rate has made it expensive for those looking for cheap cars,some people even complained when Golf3 (auto + AC) was been sold for N650,000 with Nigerian custom duty,so how can those people now afford to buy for 650,000+.If you're looking for quality over price,it's readily available but if you're looking for price over quality,it's better you buy in Lagos if it has original duty papers and it's not accidented.

@Ilade/SensualMan/Saintjoel......... I am not much of a fan of SaintJoel seeing that I had 2 deals I wanted to run by him and he bungled them by not handing me vital info as when it was required (even though I gave him notice prior to the time) but SensualMan has not denied certain things that saintjoel has said (of which, you brought the issue to Nairaland and not saintjoel which is a sign that you are still upset/bitter about it! My advice? Take heart)

1.) That U bargained for the car yourself!! U don't know that side of town better than Saintjoel and since its on his advice you went there; shebi U would have insisted that he followed you to make sure you get the best of what U seek?

2.) That you were suspicious of him from the beginning!!! if not; in a place where you don't speak the indigenious language and you went to make a purchase, why did you go and change money by yourself!!! Especially when the person is practically your host in terms of the fact that he made arrangements for your trip, where you would stay etc.


3.) You Ignored his advice!!! He insists that, he based on his expertise, adviced that you take something else but you refused and said that you were still willing to take that particular ride against his advice (even when you clearly couldn't afford it on the spot)!! If you read in a thread online somewhere that someone was guiding folks to make purchases and will clear the purchases for you, will also assist in hotel reservations and advice on exchange rate and cash transfers as well as assist in delivering the car!! Is it not to give the person the benefit of a doubt; travel, get there and wait for the person's counsel (at least it is the counsel that made you go to cotonou in the first place to meet him there) before you take any action!! Instead you chose to change cash without consulting him; you even bargained for the car ni in his absence, you insisted you will take a car against his advice (even when you couldn't pay for it there and then) and then at the end you weren't satisfied you prefer to advice others to ignore his services!!??

Of which Saintjoel is insisting that you didn't state that it was precisely XLS you wanted so he just gave price for basic model hence the initial price difference between what you wanted and what you eventually saw on ground in terms of price!!!

Habaaaa!! I sense that you were not exactly patient with the fellow! Plus you were to overly suspicious!! Else the critical things in this transaction process is cash (buying cefas and to buy the car and to pay for clearance/duty as well as to pay driver delivery) and actual inspection and bargaining of which you ignored his advice on these 2 areas!!

On saintjoel side (though I wouldn't blame him too much because life is precious); it would appear as though you were too much in a hurry to close the deal especially since home delivery was involved and given what your driver went through the last time he was shot, coupled with the fact that Oga was already showing sign that money done dey finish; you topped up so the car could be cleared early and weren't able to notice the glass already losing strength!!! Much of what he is complaining about are things that could have easily been resolved offline if everybody was not in a hurry to get rid of each other fast and everyone was communicating freely without suspicion!!!

At least let other Nairalanders learn from una 2!! U wan buy car through person, cool down and allow the person to handle matters properly; that way if it goes sour, you will know that you gave dealer/Agent the benefit of a doubt and he messed up!!! Chikena.....#MyOwnTenKobo

Sir,I'm so sorry if I've at a time or two delayed vital info and I promise to be fast and efficient when next you need my services.

Sensualman (Mr I.K) was a customer and is now a friend,I want to believe every issue has been sorted out and we'll continue to be best of friends regardless of what happened.

Thanks sir and your concern is highly appreciated.

Oga Gbenga abeg give me last price for that clean Golf 3 nau. People here in lag are telling me the intial 510k + 140k you mentioned is too much

I want to come and buy as soon as I can take leave.

Sincerely sir,I don't think you should even be posting this on Nairaland when the same people telling you it could be gotten cheaper can actually help you purchase it.

deathwing:
Oga Gbenga abeg give me last price for that clean Golf 3 nau? People here in lag are telling me the intial 510k + 140k you mentioned is too much

Sir,1999 camry and Golf3 are still in contention for now,people telling you it's cheaper may be into smuggling cos I don't know where they want to get golf3 lesser than what I've given you.

Normal asking price for a golf with automatic transmission and AC is 1.7M cefa with cotonou clearing,multiplying with N373 which is the current exchange rate,it'll give you N634,100 which is even higher than the amount we've been purchasing it. If you even manage to get an accidented one for like 1.3M cefa with cotonou clearing or even manual,it will still be around N484,900 with the current exchange rate.

Now,if you're paying custom duty,if it had been a time we were paying N75,000 as bank charges,N120,000 - N130,000 would have sorted your custom duty by with the 35% increment,the least amount we can pay for duty is N98,200 and with park charges now around around N5,000,you can see why we started charging N140,000 as custom duty.

Unless you want to go into smuggling or decide to buy in Lagos if you can get it cheaper than the quote I've given,cotonou is a no go area for golf3 and 99 camry for now but if people tell you that you can get it cheaper,you can go with them but please don't forget to give us a feedback when you're back from your trip.

There are some cars you can still buy with the increase in exchange rate but certainly not 99 camry and Golf3.

SensualMan:
Now my experience buying a car from cotonou through gbenga is not worth it.
I will be back to post details step by step

I wish to apologise if you feel annoyed or not satisfied with our delivery.I felt I was doing everything within my power to satisfy my customer and if you feel you were wronged,I'm so sorry.

If at anytime you decide to take the winshield for replacement and also fix the CD player,kindly let me know the expenses incured and I'll pay at least half into your account when I've enough cash on me but all that happened is normal for tokunbo cars,anything can just come up any point in time.

Once again,I'm sorry for all that transpired between us and we wish you all the best.

Thanks.

@ saintjoel I have read all that transpired btw u and SensualMan as posted here and want to advise that:
1. U shud make it a point of duty to try and make ur clients feel satisfied by doing ur best and being honest
2. Even if u come across special customers like SensualMan, do ur best and leave d rest for God
3. Try and limit any dispute to personal private communication btw u and any customer, extending it to nairaland will only make people have reservations about u.

Thanks.

Sir,I tried my best to explain things to I.k but I guess he's one those people that there's no way you can just convince them,they'll always believe you're scamming them.I called him last night and I explained things to him after the driver delivered the car but he decided to come to Nairaland and I guess till this morning,he still had the feeling that he was scammed.

I was honest althrough the transaction,he was the one that saw the car,he was the one that bargained for it even before I got to the car stand,even when I kept telling him that he could still get something cheaper even if it meant doing one or two fixes right there in cotonou,he still decided to go ahead with payment,so how was I dishonest?. Till the time he paid,I was like how can you buy a car and also run into debt at th same time by insisting you wanted to buy the avalon,I have seen a scenario where you buy a car and need to start loaning money to go back to your base or where someone else has to foot you hotel bills and meals,it wasn't worth it at all and that was why I was against the payment but I think he was fixated on the avalon.

Anything can happen to tokunbo cars while in transit,I have seen a car go up in flames when it was been test driven and I've also seen where gears or engines break up in transit,these are vehicles that have been previously used abroad but I guess maybe it's his first car,that's he desnt know about problems that might come up.

I wasn't there when he bargained,I wasn't there when he changed money,I wasn't there when he paid cos I knew it'll come down to this but God can see my heart,I did everything within my power to make sure this deal will be hitch free.

Thanks sir for your concern,it's highly appreciated.

SensualMan:
BULLSHIT. EVERYTHING UV WRITTEN.

FYI. I TALKED WITH SOME PEOPLE AND I GOT A BREAKDOWN OF THE WHOLE DEAL.
U ALWAYS CLAIMING SAINT WITH UR WRITE UPS BUT IN REAL LIKE U R ON THE CONTRARY.

U DISCREDITED A NAIRALANDER I MADE MENTION OF TO U SAYING ALL SOR OF TRASH ABOUT HIM(THAT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS THO)

ALL I'M ADVISING U IS BE STRAIGHTFORWARD TO ALL THESE PEOPLE MAKING ENQUIRIES. U R FAR FROM THAT.
I'M DONE EXCHANGING WORDS OR TALKING WITH U ON PHONE.

LAGOS REMAINS THE BEST BAIT FOR RIDE.

I am so surprised with what you have written cos we didn't even exchange words at any point in time,you only called for explanations and I gave you valid explanations and I'm also doing that on Niaraland again.

The picture below shows you the bank charges avalon pays into the bank even before the 35% increment and that's why NCS agreed on a compromised value cos who in the freaking hell will pay almost N480,000 naira for an under age avalon,as you can see from the table below,01 avalon pays N338,983 as bank charges while 02 pays N376,663 as bank charges,my mistake was not charging the original value instead of using the compromised value for you.

The people you actually talked to,how much did they tell XLS avalon is sold in cotonou,kindly tell us and I'll gladly refer my next customers to that person.

Is there any crime in telling you that the nairalander you mentioned wasn't an agent but was posing as an agent on Nairaland and even at that,the information was shared and meant to be kept secret .

Sir,how have I not been straight foward with people when they make inquiries,if I've not been doing that and I've been luring people people into Cotonou,you won't meet me in the condition you met me.

Pictures have been attached and they show discussions between a customer and I,although he initiall doubted me but he when he went into the market himself with another agent,he later saw I was right with my analysis, so how come you're now telling me that I'm not straight forward.It's not all abouit money,what's the benefit of having millions in my account and my soul isn't at peace?

Why didn't you take the lagos option,even when you had over eight-nine hours to make that decision.

It shows the kind of person that you are and seriously you've managed to dissapoint me.If after all I've done to convince isn't enough,then maybe I'll need to cut my neck for you.

SensualMan:
The duty u paid has a receipt of 104k and u charged me a whooping 180k. Dude ur neva honest.
This niccur has only one intention. And dat is to lure people into cotonou by portraying himself as a saint here making his posts look sincere.

ONCE HE LURES U IN THEIR, NICCUR WILL START SPEAKING FRENCH.

MY ADVICE TO ANYBODY HERE IS FORGET COTONOU. IT'S A HOAX.

KINDLY BUY UR VEHICLE IN LAGOS.
IF THIS DUDE GIVES U A BUDGET OF 1MILL, KINDLY GO WITH EXTRA 300K COS HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE JELAD VENTURES, ITS JUST A FRONT AND A ONE MAN'S SHOW SO ITS FUNNY TO ME WHEN THIS DUDE SAYS WE AT JELAD VENTURES.

THIS NICCUR BROUGHT BAC MY RIDE WITH A SMASHED WINDSHIELD WITH THE EXCUSE THAT THE SCREEN SMASHED DUE TO SUN RAYZ. CAN U IMAGINE?

SECONDLY HE DELIVERED MY RIDE WITHOUT THE REMOTE, SPOILT CAR STEREO, MISSING JACK AND WHAT HAVE U.

THIS NICCUR IS NOT HONEST.

FORGET ALL THESE SAINTLY POSTS U READ. I KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING AND I'M WAITING FOR GBENGA TO COME AND ANSWER OR DISPUTE MY POSTS.

https://www.nairaland.com/1572889/custom-duty-payment-made-easier,this link should serve as a guide to you if you want to know more about duty payment.

If you insist that you don't want the car,you can send it back to Lagos and we will sell it cos that car was a tokunbo and anything could've happened along the line.

If my french disturbed you,I wonder why you didn't object.

Seriously,you've managed to dissapoint and this is my second time of dealing with people like you who don't even believe in themselves.

I stubbornly insisted that you shouldn't pay but you insisted on paying,I was even the one that raised you loan to N10K when you had nothing in your pocket top travel with and as at now,I am still owing your hotel bill cos I've been dodging those people since you left.

What's my gain if I went through all these only to defraud you.

Before the increase in exchange I explained to you that we normally buy ordinary valon for 3M cefa and XLS for 3.1 or 3.2M cefa.

Calculate the 3.2M by multiplying by N345 as at the time you made the request,it's going to give you N1,104,000 and if you know multiply by the current rates of N373,you will get N1,193,600,now add N180,000(custom duty) to it,it gives you N1,373,600 against N1,284,000 if the exchange was still N345 when you made your inquiry,so am I the one that has started fixing government policies?

It's nice to know your kind still exist out there but I know there's a reward for everything we do and either nagatively or positively,we will all be rewarded.

THIS NICCUR IS NOT HONEST.

FORGET ALL THESE SAINTLY POSTS U READ. I KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING AND I'M WAITING FOR GBENGA TO COME AND ANSWER OR DISPUTE MY POSTS.

1. " The duty u paid has a receipt of 104k and u charged me a whooping 180k. Dude ur neva honest. "

When you pay custom duty,do they write the whole amount you pay or just bank charges,did those papers you have with you just fly into your hands or did we pay for processing.I think what you should have asked me is how the money was divided and I think I explained to you because it was part of the reasons we took it to idiroko,when I told you that I had to pay N127,000 as bank charges in seme,thereby raising your duty expenses to N200,000 but since you claimed not to have enough cash,I had to take it through idiroko and paid N104,000 as bank charges.

Even if you call any agent from idiroko,they pay bank charges of N97,000 but I decided to boost it because after the shooting incident which you knew about,I didn't want to put any driver's life at risk with unecessary delays at custom points and that was why customs even decided to do physical examination cos they thought I had something to hide since I was paying higher than an average agent.

2. "ONCE HE LURES U IN THEIR, NICCUR WILL START SPEAKING FRENCH."

You and people on Nairaland know my root is in Cotonou and french is my third language after yoruba and English but to say the fact,I wasn't there when you bargained for this car. I only got there when you had already negotiated and I can remember advising you to go for a cheaper avalon which you'll have just fixed the bumper.Even in the morning,when you saw a lexus GS500 and you asked us to bargain for it,I advised you to buy cos it'll save you N150,000 and also stop you from loaning money up and down,which you eventually did when you couldn't pay your hotel bills,meals and transport back to Imo state.

3."KINDLY BUY UR VEHICLE IN LAGOS.
IF THIS DUDE GIVES U A BUDGET OF 1MILL, KINDLY GO WITH EXTRA 300K COS HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING. "

That's one of the reason we now put "SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATION IN EXCHANGE RATE" when we are giving quotes. If you were given a quote with exchange given at N345 - 1,000,you definitely can't expect it to be the same when you change money at N372 - 1,000 cefa.

The other mistake made was that you never asked for XLS but you later claimed you asked me for XLS which is full optioned but I can vividly remember that you just asked for avalon but when you got into cotonou,yopu wanted to buy 2003 avalon for the price of 01 avalon and I told you that it wasn't possible,that it'll be cost effective if you buy 01 for a cheaper price since they all have the same body shape.

When you started throwing tantrums in the office,I asked one of my boys to take you back for your deposit because I knew you didn't trust me cos you thot I added something to it and I kept insisting you shouldn't pay if you found it too expensive but you later decided to pay,you even had more than 6-8 hours to make up your mind,I kept telling you to buy the GS500 which would have saved you about N150,000 but you insisted on going ahead with the payment.

****I wasn't there when you bargained

**** I wasn't there when you changed money and that was the reason why I didn't follow my boy to make the payment.

You called for your receipt but I explained to you that it was going to be written in french,that's why many customers don't bother with it but since you insisted,I can remember telling youi that I'll scan one and send it to you cos I have nothing to hide.

You neglected to tell people that I was against payment for this avalon when you kept insisting that you had no money,even neutral Niegrians told you that the exchange caused the difference in rates and I asked you if I was the one fixing the rates?



4. "THERE IS NOTHING LIKE JELAD VENTURES, ITS JUST A FRONT AND A ONE MAN'S SHOW SO ITS FUNNY TO ME WHEN THIS DUDE SAYS WE AT JELAD VENTURES."

Yes,I am the owner of Jelad ventures but the reason why I use "WE" is unlike some middlemen/agents who like to be at different places at the same time,there are people behind the scene working for Jelad ventures and I just play a supervisory role. Dan,Emille and other guys in cotonou are the people watching my back there cos I can't be in Nigeria processing Nigerian duty and also start processing Benin customs at the same time,in a case where we have to beat the 48hr mark,I need more hands to work with me in Nigeria and Benin,your vehicle only got delayed till that moment cos customs demanded on physical examination cos they thought my enemy was mad to have paid N104K on 01 avalon when I could have paid N97K and my driver refused to move until he collected his full payment cos we thought you'll might decided not to pay back once he got to Imo. So,you can't expect me not to have a company and I believe there is nothing wrong in using "WE" cos we sample peoples' opinion when giving quotes,during the buying process etc.

5. "THIS NICCUR BROUGHT BAC MY RIDE WITH A SMASHED WINDSHIELD WITH THE EXCUSE THAT THE SCREEN SMASHED DUE TO SUN RAYZ. CAN U IMAGINE? "

I swear to Almighty God,God should punish my entire generation if I am lying. I explained to you that the windscreen must have been expiring cos even when it left cotonou,there was no crack,the first crack was noticed at the customs vehicle seat in the evening when it was been released and I was also shocked,the other side showed up the next afternoon and a mechanic explained that it was heat that caused it. You know that I've not worked for some months and your job was the first job I'll do in months and what would have been my gain to deliver a car with cracked windshield,if I had been able to gather cash,I would have gone to ladipo for replacement but I was seriously in debt over the other driver's issue,even you could attest to the fact cos part of the rumor mongers met you in your hotel and they must have told you so many stories in order to discredit us.

6."
SECONDLY HE DELIVERED MY RIDE WITHOUT THE REMOTE, SPOILT CAR STEREO, MISSING JACK AND WHAT HAVE U."


Now when you say I didn't deliver your car with a remote,did you tell before the car was delivered in Nigeria?

I learnt you personally met the dealer and discussed about the remote key but you left without informing me about it and that's one thing I've always advised clients never to do,once a dealer is dealing with you behind your agent,he has something up his sleeve.

I had to go back to Cotonou on Monday for the key but the dealer denied he made any agreement with you and I can also remember asking why you kept that deal hidden from me,if you had told me earlier,I would have insisted on it and even refused to move the car till when he provides the key.

About the jack,I just called the driver and he insists it's in your boot under the boot rug,if you check and it's not there,I'll pay N2,000 into your account next week to cover for the expenses but I physically checked those items myself and they were all complete,so I am now surprised with your claim that it's not there. The driver as you know drives a serving asst. Controller of Customs that owns my mother - agency so he should know the consequence of stealing a car jack from your car.

About the car radio,must people know that when you buy a tokunbo,you get to fix one or two things in it. At the point of purchase,the manager promised to fix the CD player which we discovered was faulty with the radio was working and we could listen to radio station,he effected the repair and we even used a CD to test but along the line,the CD refused to load again and we guessed that the mechanism must be weak and it's something you can get any radionic to services for you,so where did the case of a damaged radio come up from?

At exactly 1900HRS,Jelad ventures landed this lovely avalon in Imo state and it also marks our resumption back to active duty.

We thank God for the new lease of life for our driver and also thank some Nairalanders for their help financially and spiritually during our trying moments.

Our driver was shot by armed robbers on his way delivering a space bus but he managed to keep his cool and escaped with the vehicle before it could be snatched.There were days we were at loss over what happened to the driver cos we couldn't communicate with him and we were already preparing for the worst case scenario but we thank God that it's all behind us and the driver is now recovering.

Much love to people that really showed us love,I can remember the embarassament of having to borrow from friends,family and some people I met on Nairaland.Everyone pitched in and the owner got his space bus back and our driver is also back in cotonou recuperating,after almost two months of sitting at home because of the increase in exchange rate,this wasn't what we expected when we resumed operations.

We thank God once again and has we've always pledged,we will always strive to be the best in what we do and has God liveth,we will do just that. Jelad ventures is still waxing stronger,we may have made some mistakes in our teething stage but we are now up and running.

Thanks and God bless you all.


*******Please note that this post was created to dispel some rumors making rounds at the border and to assure our customers that we have their interest at heart,armed robbery cases can happen to anyone but the driver escaped with the vehicle,which to us is a bonus**********

Hello Gbenga,

I have tried to call you but you have not picked my call so far. You still have not responded to my inquiries via BBM. You also have not responded to my email and SMS. So busy, I guess. Kindly let me know the landing cost of a 1999 Toyota Camry (auto transmission) and VW golf 3 (manual with factory A/C, the long body type, sorry I dont know the year model). I await your quickest response.

Thanks.

Sir,I am so sorry.

If you want me to be sincere with you,buy the two cars in Lagos if you've seen them with original duty papers and they're not accidented,thanks.
