Meister:
How much did it amount to abeg and what method did you use ?

The current price is about $354, but I ended up paying 360 dollars.
I messaged the seller to help me split the payment into 4 parts so I can pay in bits. I paid with 3 different GT BANK cards and one go money virtual card. ($90 in 4 places)
Zenith and UBA cards failed for reasons I don't understand

When you ordered from this link, how long did it take the seller to ship the product? I just placed an order now and I'm seeing my product will be shipped in 45 days

Which Bank Card?

I'm trying to pay with Zenith bank card

I'm trying to make a payment for a product on AliExpress, and I got a transaction declined error. I was directed to this appeal page. But the thing is, the card I was trying to use for the payment wasn't even listed here. The cards listed are virtual cards. How do I go about this

Send a message to the customer care to activate your card for online transactions.

Hope you are in tier 3?

Yes. I'm in Tier 3. Thanks

JESSE2:
The limit is tied to ur account not the card's.

Chai. Let me transfer my money back to the main gt account then. Thanks

..

Evening Boss. I'm trying to make a payment for a product on AliExpress using that GoMoney.
I paid the first part with my normal gtbank account, then I paid the second part with the Gomoney virtual card. Then I created two more virtual cards to complete the transaction, but both are getting declined. What could be the reason? I believe each card should have their own monthly limit.

genius43:
Gomoney

Thanks Boss. Which of those two

genius43:
Track with track24.net or postal.ninja

Hi Genius, there's one online platform you suggested here once that has $100 limit for transactions as well. What's that app again?

There's nothing like poverty alleviation program in Nigeria.
Any of such is an avenue for the serial looters in power to loot. In case you wonder why government come up with such programmes to distribute money to the masses, and yet end up killing startups with tax and heavy levies, the reason is simply because the politicians already have their looting plans for those cash meant to be distributed.
The only poverty alleviation program that's going to work in this nation is providing ease of business, good roads, constant electricity supply, quality social amenities and tax alleviation. Any other thing is nonsense

99 appearances and 15 goals?? We're yet to get a super goal scorer

The goalscoring record of everyone on that list is extremely poor. We just love celebrating mediocrity in this country

Lixusheng:
Yes

Have you received your poco f3 as well

sajmark:
Will it be possible to get the anker soundcore 1 at the moment? or any other good Bluetooth wireless speaker below 20k?

Why not get soundcore motion plus once and for all? It's a bit expensive, but it's worth it

TheLoneCitizen:
Thank you, brother.

The store in mention here is Aliexpress.

Are the custom charges different from the nipost charges? If so, how much is each on Average?

Are all products eligible for free shipping?

My response is based on AliExpress stores in general.
Read the reviews and check the question and answer section before ordering the product.
And yes, custom charges are different from NIPOST charges. NIPOST charges range between #200 and #1000 mostly.
Custom charges can substantially exceed that. It depends on what you are ordering. But note that custom charges are random, and if what you're ordering isn't really valuable, there's is a high probability you won't pay anything

odysey:
About paying above $100 how can one go about it with the cbn restrictions
Thanks

You can try barter by flutterwave. But their rate is too expensive (About 525naira per dollar). Or you can chat the seller to split the payment for you into different parts so you can pay separately with different ATM cards. I don't think all sellers do that though, because I'm presently chatting with one who does not seem to understand what I'm talking about.
Another alternative is paying with a dollar card that's obtainable from banks, or try getting someone residing outside the country to order on your behalf with his own account on AliExpress and card details, then set Nigeria as the shipping address (I think that should be able to work as well)

TheLoneCitizen:
Hi guys, my phone got damaged recently, and because it doubles as my workshop, I urgently ordered the Gionee S11 lite from Jumia.

I'm not really impressed with the phone reviews and specs, but the price was the best of any phone on that site.

Then, I discovered Aliexpress and this thread, and was shocked to see better phones at the same price in this store (eg, Reno 6 Pro at less than $100 plus shipping).

I'm now banking on the house for knowledge and guidance on how to capitalise on this.

Please can I get answers to the following questions:

1. I already have doubts about overseas shopping, so please, is this store legit?

2. Which phones should I steer clear off? I noticed that some phones have model names but no brand name, are these scams? Eg, global version note 9, mini x50 etc

3. Is it true that any non-Chinese phones here are fakes?

4. Does the shipping fee cover all the cost to get to Nigeria? Are there other extra costs for me to acquire the product?

5. Which buyers should I avoid? For ex on Jumia, I avoid products with no Express delivery and with ratings less than 4.

Thank you.

Reno 6 pro is not less than $100 anywhere online. If you come across such, then it's definitely a fake product.
For the first question, you didn't specify the store you're talking about. Before you order from any store, read feedbacks carefully and check the ratings. It's always better if there are feedbacks from Nigerians as well.
For your second question, I think you know the answer already. No company sells a 8/256GB device for #35,000.
I don't understand the third question.
For the 4th question, you may run into custom charges when the phone gets to Nigeria. Its 50-50. And if there are no custom charges, you may still have to pay a little amount at NIPOST before the phone is released.
For the 5th question, once again, check ratings and reviews before ordering from any seller. I personally avoid sellers with less than 4.8 rating

Good Evening everyone,
Is there any alternative to Barter by flutterwave to bypass the $100 limit on AliExpress? Barter's charges is too high

Lixusheng:
I dont even know let me check. When i funded massively then it was around $475.

Today is #524

#524 is way too high

Lixusheng:
I used barter

What's the present rate? Someone said #518 per dollar the other time

Lixusheng:
No.. I ordered few days back. It was shipped with Netherlands post which they use for the OP. They have ditched Singpost because things usually doesnt come with it. Hoping to get mine soon

All right Sir.
Can you kindly help me order one as well? I can't bypass the $100 limit, and barter by flutterwave is too expensive

Lixusheng:
The tracking number started with RU right Postnl

Did you just order from the link the OP posted as well

chegzyshade:
Exactly, this custom wahala get me pissed. What is the likely charge on such phone assuming one is to pay

I'm not really sure. But it should be within 10-30% of the phone's price

If only I could find a way to bring this down to Nigeria without issues

bukolo:
So in essence, poco F3 is a win win. Thanks so much

Do you have a seller in mind to get the poco f3 from

Smartdepotng:
No! Thankfully. However, it was opened by customs but maybe the person that checked didn't know the value.

Thanks. I want to order the phone as well. That's why I'm asking

Smartdepotng:
Tell me about the bad experience...
I ordered this Poco F3 3 times and all problematic.
First one - after payment ($400) the Aliexpress app said your order will be shipped in 75 days. I literally went mad.
Cancelled the order the following day, waited another 4 days to get my payment processed back into my account.
Ordered again and this time, it was 65 days before order will be shipped. Had to cancel again and waited for the money to be processed back.
I ordered the 3rd time, it was shipped after two days.
A week later I recommended the seller to one naija guy I met on one Aliexpress seller telegram group.
He ordered and his order was shipped in 3 days.
Tracking was good and in 2 weeks tracking said it has entered destination country and that was the last update.
The guy I recommended (lives in Abuja) got his one two weeks after my first tracking updated my package has entered Nigeria.
I had to wait another 75 days to be able to open dispute. The seller was nice too. I won the dispute and After one week, I got my money back (for the third time)
And I still ordered POCO F3 and again...
This fourth one came in.
Here is the link to the fourth one store I purchased from:
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtjTNsF

Attached is the tracking.
NB tracking still says it is still undergoing custom clearance...

Thanks for the explanation. Did you pay custom charges when it got to Nigeria?
