Please and please free shipping doesn't mean your goods will be sent to the PO. The shipping company used determines that. Do you know that depending on your order and bargaining sense your goods can be shipped for free to your doorstep through dhl? So that it is shipped for free( as they make you think) doesn't mean it must be sent to the PO.
Thanks.

Please can you advise further on this?
Regards

International shipping companies like Netherland Post, Singapore Post, China Post, Hong Kong Post etc always handover the goods to the Post Office company of the destination country. You can also use NIPOST to send your goods to another country but they will hand it over to the Post office of that country. But companies like Dhl, FedEx will deliver your goods to your doorstep.

Since your goods are from different supplier, it will be sent differently once you are using FREE SHIPPING option.

If you want all your goods to be sent together, you have to use a third-party shipping company, which you will have to paid such shipping company personally, where by all the suppliers will send all the goods to the shipping company with your name written on all the packages which in turn, the third-party shipping company will help you to package everything into one carton and ship to Nigeria.

Mind you, if you later decided to use third-party shipping company for your orders, kindly renegotiate all the prices of the goods, because the FREE SHIPPING the supplier is giving you has already secretly added to the cost of the goods. For example, if the goods you are buying have been negotiated at $30, since you want to use third-party shipping company, kindly inform the supplier about your change of mind of using third-party shipping company and renegotiate the price of the good to around $25 or even less, that is what I always do, and it always work out fine.

1. Buying laptops from aliex is mostly a one chance affair ( I stand corrected though) 2 Third party shipping would have been more cost effective (#JustSaying) 3. Open a dispute sharply. #MyOpinion

You are absolutely right! Bought a tab ;the 5mp camera was terrible such that N2,500 Tecno has a better pix quality. Returned it, was told that $20 will be deducted for $7 for adapter that got missing on transit and $13 for dirty flip case. Well, since i cant confirm the adapter issue, told him to remove that cost but not the flip case.

I am still waiting for his response before i open a dipute. Most of the Chinese people are dubious and when Integrity international rank Nigeria Nig will be given a low rank .

Any way, I will NEVER BUY any ELECTRONICS from Aliexpress!!!

No my friend, there are powerful electronics on aliexpress. But the quality of the product depend on the price. Some people choose to buy counterfelt products based on cheap prices. There are great electronic producing companies in China. Check brands like cube, ainol, created, Lenovo. ETC

Didn't You read the product specification carefully, I came across a double sim smart phone but if I didn't read carefully the specification na one chance be that ooo e.g dual sim - single band, or selection of wrong bundle.
Always buy from sellers with highest number of order and 99% rating and above, though I'm still a newbie
