Elxandre:

Believe it or not, but I hold your moniker in high esteem, and I'm a bit surprised this is coming from you (condoning corruption)

When did it become a crime to buy a 300k phone?
You forget that the same 80k phone many people buy and term affordable is a great luxury to many poorer people.

I have friends who claim only a minimum of 6GB ram can suffice for what they do, and we argue and argue about it, so don't think expensive tech products are just a fashion or class statement.

A Nissan Micra moves quite well, but I'm sure you would want something bigger if you can afford it.
You aren't any better than the OP then.

By the way, the OP was buying to resell, so there goes your analogy right out through the window.

Felabiola:
Your own still good na..

WOW ...what did you buy to be billed this much?

mrjojo:
That money must surely be paid, no two ways about it. Next time use 3rd party logistics

Dear Wandeay, check this link, but this is the full content. I experienced same and showed FedEx pepper!

This is to increase awareness on my experience with courier companies (FEDEX in this case)


The FedEx affair....


1. I bought items worth 180,044 Naira, I was told Nigerian Customs wanted N60,634.84 as custom charges (Email of January 29th) within 5 days. I paid on 31st January, 2018, i got the item on February 6th and demanded for a Customs Receipt (Email of February 7th),

· The fictitious duty was paid only AFTER I had received my package and AFTER I raised alarm.

· Receipt showed disparity in the amount paid into the Customs (N55,392 vs 60,634.84)

· “Airport taxes” were claimed and covered by a FedEx receipt when the only body responsible for issuing such receipts is the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN)

I raised up the issue with a Team Lead who felt ignoring me would make me forget the issue.

2. I wrote to FedEx Nigeria Senior Management, providing ample evidence of the fraud and extortion by their staff, hoping for a simple solution – refunding the fraudulent charge in full and ending it there.

3. I started receiving an avalanche of harassing phone calls at odd hours (is this a FedEx policy?) culminating with a coercive threat call by a Director at 19.08 hrs on 6th March, 2018 (NOTE – The telecommunications provider can be subpoenaed for more details when we go to court) He was sorely mistaken, it just made me angrier.

4. I made covert investigations with legal counsel and I wanted to present evidence in America. I was strongly advised that the international offices would just cover up the case that I should reply to Homeland Security and FBI instead. I couldn’t unfortunately because I have some important issues to attend to in Nigeria.

I then escalated to 17 FedEx International Staff; mostly country managers about the fraud and extortion ring being perpetrated by FedEx Nigeria. I sent the mails at 5.30am and by 9.00am i got 17 "MAILER DAEMON" messages like all the messages weren't delivered (cover-up even at international level).


I had promised that i would escalate the case to the Presidency and the Head of Nigerian Customs. I received more threats and a letter from their lawyers.

They felt i was cowed, but they don't know i fully intend my money to be refunded.

HOW CAN ONE SEND A PETITION THAT IS SURE TO LAND AT THE DESK OF IBRAHIM MAGU (EFCC) AND HAMMED ALI (CUSTOMS)?

This is just the beginning.....

I'm that kind of person who buys from people, oyinbo inclusive but Mayorall simply put all eggs in one basket and won't ship from a white. Prejudice at its peak you'll call it

I've registered on shoptomydoor, hope they're reliable
I called them this morning and they said I need to register...

seriouzsam:

I pray you get this. Hope I won't have any problems with DSS or the customs when I use shoptomydoor

alababaju:


I'm not sure I understand, but do you mean Mayorall refuses to ship from a seller to you because the seller is white? That's confusing because on Mayorall's thread, the majority of purchases are from Amazon US sellers and they are majority white.

Please could you explain to me if I've misunderstood? Thanks

alababaju:


You would not have to deal with either DSS or customs for parcel delivery. I have made eleven orders from Shoptomydoor since 2015. I started using them a lot less and have made only one order in the past two years, but that is because they increased their pricing. They sometimes have hiccups in their processes, but I have not had a fraudulent experience with them. The thing I like about them is that they operate a door to door delivery service. Once you pay, you would not have to pay any other fee and the item arrives at your door. At least with standard air shipping, I have not used their ocean shipping service or their express DHL service.

I have been looking for a cheaper solution than Shoptomydoor but I would be honest and say they are at least legitimate and not that expensive. Plus when compared to websites like myus.com, they are cheaper.

To have peace of mind, ship something of a low value with them first. That's the simplest thing to do.

mayorall:



No, we ship from anybody.

But he's talking about boys who wants to send from their brothers uncles girlfriend who is white using our address and name.

bigt2:

Thanks. I appreciate it!

Lorya:


The cost of shipping was recently crashed oh. Simply pick a phone to call and confirm information you get on this platform. Last time i shipped a phone with them and it was about $28 but recently when i used the get a quote it was $10 lesser or more sef. But please verify pricing from their customer service and you will not regret it. It's the wisest thing to do in this country, speak to the source not social media.

greenhulk:


Lol, which one is pirated phone again? There is no such thing as pirated iPhone, it's either the real deal or a cloned copy and SLOT WILL NEVER SELL CLONED IPHONE. If ur iPhone runs on iOS and u can log in ur Apple acct then it's not fake.

I paid the exact amount quoted! No choice!

Lexusgs430:


You have 2 options....

1 - Pay charges and receive goods
2 - Forfeit goods and hopefully they send it back and you claim a refund (less postage)

Ali, needs to fund his largesse............

mrcoolautofix:


How do you forfeit goods?
