@mayorall
I need some advice bro.

I wanna order for a phone, from dhgate, worth $180 via free shipping and $220 via dhl.

I know it's festive period and all that, will it the affect the speed of dhl delivery(about 7 days)?

If I order via free shipping in this period, about how many weeks will it take to arrive?

What do you advise?

Hi Daisy, how are you doing?

I am Sapienman and I reside in Nigeria.
I wanna buy this item and ship via dhl, but the total price is too high.
What amount of discount could you kindly give me?

Second, does it support up to 128gb through otg?

Also, could you include screen protector as free gift? I'll be very grateful.

Thanks.

Regards.

Sapienman.

mayorall: 6 days . When did the seller give you the tracking number. He might give have given you reference number, ask for your original trackinng number. The fake number might just be for you not to disturb him.
He gave me the tracking number on Saturday.
It is 6681141891.
Is this a tracking or reference number?

sapienman: Hello guys,

I ordered two watches two weeks ago. The tracking update for one has been the same since Sunday and the other since Tuesday.

Who's knows why the update is slow?

PS: they were shipped via China Post.

Thanks.

Hello guys,

I ordered two watches two weeks ago. The tracking update for one has been the same since Sunday and the other since Tuesday.

Why the slow update?

Anyone having similar issues?

PS: I shipped via China Air Post.

Thanks.

huzaifaidris: Yes but I couldn't wait for them and for the fact that the tracking is not updated made me go there. Also the address system in my location is not that good
So basically if you'd waited for a couple more days it'd have been delivered to your doorstep huh?

Why I wanna be clarified is I'm ordering a phone for a friend, shipped via dhl. I want it delivered right to his home [so he doesn't have to go to dhl office]

I need the transaction to be absolutely stress-free for him.
To foster future deals grin

huzaifaidris: I placed the order on Friday 8th of Nov,Aliexpress confirmed payment on saturday and seller shipped same saturday. I tracked it and after reaching lagos and getting custom clearance, it departed lagos and since then the tracking was not updated so I decided to go to the office to check. I went there and it was there already

Link: seller reduced the price by $10,when I bought it,it was $274 (without shipping)

fursh: I'm not sure, was in d testing process when a uncle of mine came, saw it, liked it and purchased it. But with the rate at which it charged my fone, I think it could do dat for like 3times or more cos d power signal in d powerbank didn't drop after a full charge of my fone
Okay.
Thanks for the info bro.

Business › Re: Do It Yourself Importation Guide Free - Season 2 by sapienman(m):
Hello guys,

1. A phone costing about $370 on aliexpress costs $310 on alibaba.
I don't really know how to use alibaba. It seems I'll have to send the supplier a message asking for price of products and shipping and then I'll enter these myself when making the order!!

Please someone who is used to alibaba help me out.

2. I found the same phone for $348 on dhgate.com. The supplier has over 1500 transactions with customer feedback of 96.3%.
What's item delivery(via dhl) from dhgate like, as compared with aliexpress?

Anybody?

Thanks.

fursh: It's 12000mah capacity

Okay.

How many cycles does it last?
As in, how many times does it charge your blackberry before you must recharge it?
