recommend a third party shipper please

Ehmmmm...can't recommend any. Just do your own research as each has their own wahala (not fraud)- delays, disappointment, etc. Logistics is often a game for the patient. So, check em out and decide to deal so you don't have anyone to blame if transaction did not go as you expect. Gracias.

Please how do I contact Nigeria FeDex? I’m having clearance delay on my item.

Clearance can often take time, you may just have to relax and wait it out. A package I sent to China took like forever to pass custom clearance. I no even bother. I just chilled with a bottle of zobo

Nope, abuja

Are you in Lagos? And did you use Lagos address or post office?

How can I make speedaf as my default/permanent logistic carrier?

I think that decision is left to the shipper or AliExpress team. AliExpress exclusively handled items may be shipped by a particular verified-as-reliable shipper. And "Speedaf" may soon be in line as a favourite option for AliExpress handled items, so tagged "AliExpress Standard Shipping" if they keep up their efficiency.

However for other sellers, among other reasons that affect their choice of shipper are price, proximity of their location to the shipper etc.

But more and more sellers may begin to opt for Speedaf. This is why I think so. A particular item I bought took 71 days to get to Nigeria on Singapore Post. I took delivery of the item 4 days ago. I was impressed by the performance that I decided to purchase another from exactly the same seller. I was willing to ignore the long shipping days in other to get that good item. I placed the another order 3 days ago. By yesterday, I was notified of shipping. But guess what? This time it is no longer on Singapore Post like the first time, but now on "Speedaf". This is still the same seller/shop changing his choice of a shipper within weeks.

Mind you, for the first item, I got billed 200 naira by NIPOST to collect it. I'm sure speedaf will deliver this second but same item from the same seller for free. But I will still keep my fingers crossed.

So except you categorically pay for express shipping like DHL, UPS etc, I think there is little you can do to influence the seller's choice of shipper.

Barter by Flutterwave is ₦516. I feel it is a better alternative when compared to the stress of buying USD and funding a dollar card.

Please how do I use flutterwave to fund a dollar domiciliary account?

Gr8teejay:
has anybody received any package that says arrival at destination but Nipost still says EDI received that has an RB tracking number?

See my attached screenshot. It is "RB". 79 freaking days in transit.

Item has "arrived destination" (Nigeria) since June. But up till now, I have not received a call from Post office. About 4 days ago, I called one post woman there and sent her the tracking numbers (there is actually a second item too) for them to know that my item has arrived but they have been lackadaisical in delivering them to me.

You can't.

This is the fastest order I've received so far, my order arrived just within 14 days. This is wonderful

Your tracking number starts with RU?

When buying expensive items such as phones, drones, and other items likely to be "confiscated" by our crazy customs, I use third party shippers to avoid the 50/50 percent chance of items getting missing, "seized" aka stolen by "rats" in customs, or having to pay high ridiculous amount of money as duty.

Also I have found that the shipping of these items by the third party shippers are often competitive with the amount the sellers are willing to add as their shipping cost.

The only phone I ever bought from AliExpress and shipped by AE (which arrived Nigeria without any issue or duty) was a Xiaomi Note 3 phone some years back. Back then Xiaomi was not a known brand in Nigeria, and luckily customs guys are not as aggressive as they are now on things imported from China.

After that, most my phone purchases are often done either from the USA or other countries but with shipping done by third party shipping agents.

Good day sir

I want to order for 2 wrist watch worth about 20k using AliExpress shipping, I hope I wont experience any issue with custom or stolen or missing items
Please kindly advice

Oh, okay. So I can only use it for purchases? How easy is refunds in case transaction with sellers go bad and disputes have to be filed for refunds?

They are just a lazy and nonchalant group of people, until there comes an efficient technical partner for Aliexpress, I'm sure they won't change. Later, when sales don't come and Govt is forced to sack them or sell them to a private hand, who inadvertently will have to sack many of them, they won't regret their actions.

See my order trail too, China to Nigeria was just 2 weeks and since then NPS hasn't moved an inch. I have been to the PO twice and my supervisor too has been there once because he doubted the order ever existed.

This unregistered packages tracking usually ends once it gets to the airport. And usually takes longer than registered items to be delivered.

Be mindful of shipping methods when placing an order.

You will never get it. It didnt show lagos air.. it was discarded by impc workers. I have experienced many of such. The issue is that the nipost workers can really explain the problem to you because they are dumb

This is exactly what mine says but what do you suggest I do because I went to my PO yesterday and they said nothing has come in

So I guess I'll wait it out then open dispute later but is there a way such thing can be avoided in case of next time? Or a way to report these IMPC workers?
