Just Paid for item worth $117 with GTBank

Went through successfully

Naira debit card or dollar card?

jboixxx:
I once said it that Nigerians will either abuse the door delivery or see it as entitlement! Imagine.

He prefers NIPOST that even within Lagos, takes forever to deliver so that he can open dispute, get refunded and probably still collects the package upon arrival! Life's good.

So it's better for a the stupid company to be taking advantage of me?

I better continue using NIPOST.

Babalegba:
I'm glad there are still some decent Nigerians around, the rampant dishonesty of Nigerians tires me.

Don't talk nonsense. When the people that own the goods told me to keep it as compensation for my disappointments?

Just pretending, when real honesty is needed all of you will become thieves.

Meister:


You literally just mentioned collecting dispute money then getting your package later from NIPOST but you're here forming saint.

If you like don't pay the #400 they'll go back with your package,the way you guys complicate little things dey off me

And I will put dispute and collect my money back.

And they'll pay more than ₦400 to return the package to China.

I collected refund and later collected the goods after over 6months when they came because one AE CS told me do so to compensate for my disappointment.

This your WEAK ASS mentality is why they'll keep cheating you.

eteebanky1:


Just hear yourself out......

Don't talk nonsense...!!!

Babalegba:
AliExpress does not own the goods,they are merely a platform. The sellers bear the brunt. I do know that most Nigerians have stolen,are stealing or will steal in the future.Its extremely difficult to find a honest Nigerian.

No! You don't understand how it works at all. I talk with AE CS all the time.

Since AliExpress fulfills ie delivers your item, anything that goes wrong with delivery is borne by AliExpress. They settle sellers and turn around to make the delivery company pay.

I come to understood all these things when my Tablet was stolen on transit.

So if there's delay and AE settled me at the end of the day, they hold Singapore Post which holds NIPOST.

Babalegba:
Most Nigerians are thieves but always complain about somebody else stealing. The country is messed up

How am l a thief when AliExpress CS told me to always collect them as compensation for stress, delay and not keeping their words?

UDanny:
. Enjoying the view, i see. I get your point for preferring NIPOST now, cause its very close to you, makes sense. But the condition they put us in no make sense at all. 2 months now, my package never arrive, its not fair nau. Another package i ordered, in a space of one month, i was sent a mail to come and pick them at speedaf's office

Yeah enjoying the view!

Wetin these girls dey wear these days no waao.

UDanny:
No big deal bro. Thing is, i believe they will still open an office in Nnewi. But i think you should call their CC and talk with them. That's the best way they can hear your complaints, cause i don't think any of their workers are in this thread.
I even found it somehow to pay 400 for a very small item. So what i plan on doing is, order in batches, if hopefully they all get delivered by Speedaf, wait for all to arrive at their office at Onitsha Shoprite Mall, then pay a single 400 delivery fee for them to bring them all to awka. Hopefully, it works

Shit! They still don't have office at Awka too.

I don't order much anymore since this $20 limitation.

Trust me now I have called their CC they were all full of apologies telling me they will open office at Nnewi soon. I told them for the meantime let them stop charging us ₦400 because it notour fault.

But me and you know that might take ages.

UDanny:
See how you're saying it. Tbh, you don't have a sense of business. To think you can just pop up and drop shops anywhere... First of all, Speedaf is a new logistics courier when it comes to delivering for AliExpress, and they're still opening outlets in strategic places, which will take time. And they can't open outlets without studying the logistics of orders to know if many customers are in the location. So before you blab, put yourself in their shoes.

And again, If you paid for AliExpress standard shipping, i believe they'll deliver to you directly, so get yourself together man.
PS: NIPOST is way worse than Speedaf

See in the real sense even with the ₦400 paid they don't deliver to my address .

They have this spot in front of the NAUTH teaching hospital at Nnewi where they come and start calling us to come collect them.

Don't teach me business, I'm from Nnewi and I have been importing and reselling smartphone accessories since 2013.

If DHL EMS, UPS, FedEx, that are more expensive still gets enough customers and office here for over 15years, who's speedaf?

If that spot is convenient for them for a year now, why not pick one of those empty shops around the hospital for an office.?

And it's AES for that matter.

Please don't talk nonsense.

UDanny:
Oya nauu, cancel your item, collect refund and order again, extending your wait. The question you should ask yourself is, "Is 1 extra month of wait worth the 400 you should have paid? If its worth it, then no wahala, do your thing

It's personal item even if it comes in next two years. I don't care.

If it's what I have to resell that's where there is double trouble.

jboixxx:
You still haven't answered my question! Did you pay for SELF PICKUP items or registered item(s)?

My first sentence answered this question read it well.

UDanny:
But since you don't pay custom duties, why complain about the 400? If you paid custom duties and still the 400, that's when you should be angry in this manner

You have a valid point here but they didn't call it custom duties.

And I hate people cheating me and taking undue advantage of me thinking I can do nothing.

And we need to force them to open office at NNEWI. The volume of the service here demands such.

Thanks for being polite.

shezy14:
Pls I would like to order an LG g8 from AliExpress, I don't know if I would pay custom fees when the phone gets here?

Yes! You will pay. I paid ₦500 on my Lenovo in 2020.

Its around ₦500/kg. Except your seller wrote Gift on the package and devalued it.

Reddington:

I guess they'll still open an office in Nnewi; it is only a matter of time. In terms of economic/biz activities, Nnewi is razor-thin close to Onitsha. And so why not Nnewi, if Onitsha?
The N400 isn't necessary TBH, but no one can do much about it. It's their biz; they run it whatever way they want lol. If you must blame anyone, it's Aliexpress for sending your packages to Speedaf.
But wait, NIPOST stole your tab?

Nnewi is not razor thin close to Onitsha. Asaba is just next town to Onitsha and they have office at Asaba then another at Onitsha.

We can complain and hasten them. A sensible company should know that since it's their FAULT not having office at Nnewi, they should either forfeit the charge a creat a tiny temperary delivery spot at Nnewi for us.

I won't blame AliExpress. AE has paid them to deliver right to my address, they are just being exploiting like any other business in Nigeria.

My Alldocube Tablet coming through NIPOST was stolen on transit and empty package was delivered to me.

Thank you for being so reasonable and polite with your reply.

TruthUntold:

AliExpress told you...all that. Exactly in those specific words?

Yes! I chatted up their customer support to complain.

The woman went further to tell me to bear with them that these delivery companies are difficult to manage.

She said aside CUSTOM DUTIES AND VAT every other extra money is illegal.

Their guy I chatted up yesterday to complain is the one that told me about the dispute side.

jboixxx:
Some no know o.

I know! I paid custom and VAT ON my phone to NIPOST.

This one is not custom duties or VAT but cheer daylight stealing from people without option.

morikee:



E shock me and he is even bursting about it

Yes! I have asked an AE customer support. They told me to always collect it as a compensation for stress and delay.

Let it shock you again.

jboixxx:
Are you paying N400 for self pickup items or even registered (NG***R) items? If it's the former, forget AliExpress story cuz they labelled it self pickup and you're expected to pick it up at their office. In the absence of them having an office in your city/town, you'll have to go to their nearest office for pickup or pay the 400 or let them return it to Origin. Some bills are outside of AliExpress control.

No you are wrong. AliExpress didn't designate it self pickup. It's speedaf that did that nonsense.

AliExpress told me the shipping I paid in china is to cover to the address written on the package.

If in the case of my nearest office being in too far away i must go there or else pay them extra to bring to me?

Is it my fault that they didn't have office in my vicinity that I should pay for it?

Why are you people talking like this? Supporting people to take advantage of you.

aieromon:


Did AliExpress really say this?

If you take time to go through reviews of AE products, you will realise that nationals from other countries complain about paying all forms of duties that we don't even pay here.

Yes! You're right. They told me apart from CUSTOM DUTIES and TAX any other extra cost added to delivery is illegal. (Sorry I forgot to add this).

This one is not tax, it's not custom duties, but extra delivery fees for their rider to come to your house or else you come to their office to collect it. Then provide an office near us they refused.

Their nearest office is too far away.

So they kick us to a corner where we don't have option to extract undue money.

Is that not stealing and illegal?

UDanny:
Why you dey stress yourself? All these caps, yet you go still dey pay the 400

I will never pay that their thieving ₦400 again.

I have talked to AliExpress, they told me to stop paying, that the shipping cost I paid to them is enough to cover to my shipping address. That any extra cost outside CUSTOM DUTIES AND TAX is extortion and stealing, that they will warn them.

They told me anytime they add that extra cost I should put dispute and collect my money back, let them pay the extra cost to return the package to China. If they pay it two times they will learn sense.

They told me, it's because your people are paying the extra money that's why they're bold to continue the nonsense.

That's nigeria for us we help people to cheat and make life difficult for us.

Reddington:

Good point, bro. But I'd rather thankfully pay N400 or even N1k and get my package delivered to me fast, than having to wait a thousand years to get my order.
At this point I'd do anything to avoid Nipost. It's been 1 month & 11 days since my item "arrived country of destination" via SingPost & still haven't gotten a call!
I've already started contacting my lawyers Una go hear update for Channels TV

Will Nigeria improve this way. Paying ₦400 is not the issue.

The issue is why should I be paying for their own inability?

What will it cost them to open a tiny shop at Nnewi? A sensible company should know that since it's their fault they should not be charging us for now.

DHL, EMS, FEDEX, UPS, GIG, RedStar are all here.

Sincerely speaking, NIPOST is far better for me than this stupid people except for the stolen tablet. NIPOST would delay it, I put dispute collect my money back. After few weeks they call me, I go collect the parcel. Which is now 100% free.

@NNEWI ALIEXPRESS SHOPPERS.
WHY DID WE KEEP SILENT WHILE SPEEDAF IS ROBBING US.

IS IT BECAUSE YOU THINK ₦400 IS TOO SMALL? ₦400 EVERY WEEK DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT IS?

YES! IT IS SMALL, BUT FORCING US PAY IT WITH ONLY ONE OPTION IS VERY BAD. ITS DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.

FORCING US TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN INABILITY IS VERY BAD AND ITS STEALING.

LET US RISE UP TODAY AND SAY NO TO CHARGING US EXTRA ₦400 TO DELIVER OUR PARCELS HERE AT NNEWI.

IF IT MUST BE SELF PICK UP, LET THEM OPEN OFFICE HERE AT NNEWI, LET'S COME FOR SELF PICK UP.

WE ARE OVER 1000 PEOPLE HERE THEY'RE SERVING. WE ARE ENOUGH FOR THEM TO OPEN A SPOT FOR US NO MATTER HOW SMALL AND STOP CHARGING US EXTRA MONEY UNTIL THEY OPEN OFFICE.

IT IS NOT OUR FAULT THEY DON'T HAVE OFFICE AT NNEWI.

DON'T KEEP SILENT AND UNBOTHERED. LET'S DEMAND OUR RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

jboixxx:
Hahahaha. We keep managing NIPOST as dem be. Whatever happened to them is still a mystery and they don't seem to be ready to improve, from logistics to attitude to work.

Only asking for money!

Their workers are on paid salaries o but they keep asking for money from small hustler like me.

Reddington:
It's been over 19 days since my order arrived & Shameless Nipost has refused deliver. Not a call. Nothing.
Petition to get all stores, especially Anker, to stop shipping via SingPost! This's getting out of hand. Just hand everything over to Speedaf FGS!

It's not seller's fault. It's AliExpress that ships using SingPost which terminates with NIPOST.

So petition AliExpress.
