I sit down jeje on my own as I no dey do pass myself. See AE now got my attention with this "exchange for coins" thingy. I have always ignored this by the way and so also are their nonsense games on the apps which they claim will earn you coins that you can use in purchases. I saw all that as gimmicks to make people spend more screen time on the app.

So I decided to just check out their "exchange coins for purchases" advert and I discovered it is a scam. Screen shots show what I encountered trying to use it.

Got a call from Fedex for a delivery at my office. Opened it and there is my Anker life Q30 headphones.

Seller gave me a Singapore post tracking number, every thing was intact saw the paper containing the SG post tracking number self.

The person have to go with a written letter of authorisation from you, a photocopy of a government issued ID of yours and also an ID of the person collecting it.

vickystaring:

Jeez.
I've sent numerous messages to nipost and the only reply I got is “my package is awaiting collection from their delivery location at Akure since last week", and I've been sending them emails since last week that my local PO is at ogun state. Now, I know someone at Akure, so I want the person to help me collect it though I told the person she will have to go with photocopied ID and the screenshot of the email sent to me.

genius43:


You can do the others and scan them for the person to print and take along with her. Worst is you speak with the person at the collection point to confirm.

vickystaring:

Do they really ask?
Cos ordinary telling the person to go and meet nipost wahala is stress

speedaf is only fr mainland china sellers...

abi u wan carry speedaf go Hongkong??

shayubobo:
Do you mean even if i select "aliexpress standard shipping" while checking out, as long as the seller is not in mainland,speedaf won't be used for shipping? Cos it seems all stores on AE has aliexpress standard shipping as option irrespective of their location

oluvicki:
Good day guys, please I need to return an item to a seller and the return window on AliExpress has passed, so I have to send it to him directly not through AliExpress anymore, please which courier service can I use?

ceaser:


Shipped already. Within 48hrs of making order. Na Singapore Prison dem sentence am to o.

Lixusheng:


Exactly... if u select Aliexpress Standard Shipping... and if d seller is in Hongkong, aliexpress will use Singapore post.. cos thats the default for Hongkong sellers.. but if d seller is in Mainland china.. dey wl use Speedaf

The people at Ado may turn down your request to have it collected there, except maybe you know someone personally there. The reason is that the monies they charge on the parcels are usually recorded against each local post office as the IGR to be later forwarded to the Ado Central Post office. So if a parcel addressed to Ikole is dispatched to the recipient at Ado, Ikole post office will be cheated of the charges on that item as it will not be recorded for them but most likely for Ado.

However as I said earlier that if you know someone personally there in Ado, they may hand over the parcel to you and collect the money, but it will be recorded for Ikole and once the postmaster from Ikole comes around to Ado for dispatch, the money will be handed over to him as his branch revenue.

I have misplaced my contact number at Ado Post office, otherwise I may have suggested you contact the person. But except you transit to Ado from Ikole on frequent basis, I will suggest you wait it out for the parcel to be dispatched to Ikole, just give it about a week extra.

Return fare from Ikoke to Ado will approach about 1k5, if I'm not mistaken. So except the item cost price is worth 10k above, it may be wise to kúkúma wait for ikole post office to finish their job. If you also have the number of Ikole postmaster, you may just call him/her about an impending delivery cos at times those suburb NIPOST staff try to wait for their office-bound parcels to accumulate appreciably in Ado before going to haul them.

sureteeboy:

It also depends on how popular he is at the post office. If he's a familiar face, those formalities can be skipped. Just an ID card from the person he is sending is enough

Lixusheng:


for example if u r buyin a global version phone, just know the seller will ship from Hongkong.
Better still you can just message d seller and ask..
you ship from Shenzhen or hongkong?
.. example I asked this external portable ssd seller the question... The order was shipped via Singapore post

Lixusheng:

Chimex1930:
Since when ?

ceaser:


There has always been "customs clearance" stage. But the tracking information has not always been as detailed as speedaf usually presents it. With speedaf, it appears every little stage is shown to you in their tracking information.

My last "customs clearance" took just 4 days. The information changed to "clearance successful" on a Thursday and by Monday the following week, the speedaf agent was already chasing me about with my item.

I can't say why clearance is taking longer right now. Perhaps there is a large workload for the officers due to 11/11 orders and usually by December, hands on deck in most Nigerian workplaces are usually at the barest minimum because of the yuletide.

Clearance usually is often long with items that will require duty payment depending on how fast the buyer remits the money, not duty free items.



I lodged this particular complaint with one of the bike delivery guys and he told me that I will simply tell him the time I would be around at the designated address and he will gladly make a rescheduled delivery.

Another speedaf bike guy (a different dude from the first) that did his round the following week simply did the opposite. He got on my nerves as he was insistent on delivering the item at that round when I clearly told him I was about 45 kilometers away from the address. So what I simply did was to give him a tougher choice - I also insisted that I can't afford to to rush down, so he should begin to look for the address on the package and call me when he finds the place. After a while, he later called me he's at the address, so I spoke to a neighbour to sign for me.

kizileo:
My problem is I used my school's address, and we're on vacation, and I'll be leaving for another state in like two days time. My package just passed custom clearance, and I'm guessing by next week, it will be available. Now I don't know if the delivery guy will be willing to wait till school resumes to reschedule the delivery, or can I just call the number provided in the tracking details now to make further arrangements??
I no wan even think about this looming ASUU strike
