Hi Nairaland Family..

I don't know if I am the only one to have observed this. These days, when you buy items like phone from AliExpress, the tracking moves smoothly until it reads "Received by Local Delivery Company". Sometimes, when it gets to this point, it stays there forever..and if at all it leaves this point and you want to claim it in the local post office, you will be charged heavily by the people in the post office.

Bought so many items like a month ago, out of which was a Poco phone. All other items have been delivered except this phone which I first ordered. This phone got to destination country (NGN) on the 8th of May before other items...but till now, tracking shows it hasn't left the custody of Nigerian customs.

What is the problem exactly? Is it that the phone has been "hijacked" OR the process to clear items like phone is different from wears and other items?

Please help

It will be delivered bro, it's normal for items to pass through customs.

quentin06:


You pay the duty at the post office, I believe the item has not arrived.

I even contact seller, d guy is helpless also, if nothing happens next week I will open dispute resolution

That is not true.
I bought items yesterday with GTB MasterCard and it sail through

Homeboiy:
My problem is that aliexpress no longer accept mastercard


I don tire

And Access bank Visa card charges too high

Speedaf has been the courier company that always delivers my item bought on Aliexpress to me. They bring the item to your address.

Go to the customs office at the aircargo office inside Ikeja airport. Ask people and they'd direct you. Good luck.

Leemekzy:
they take care off that.

Did you read that it's from China?
They have address on China too??

Go to their office and have discussion with them. Go with your evidence of payment. you may need to part with some change after all said and done.

hmmm, mine arrived too but was sent to Gusau, which is a state I don't live in. Email NIPOST to know exactly what happened to your item, because that update usually means it left the custody of customs.

fadaroking:
Aliexpress still accepts Mastercard, the issue is that before now the spending limit on international transactions as stipulated by CBN was 50USD, in march the spending limit was further reduced to 20USD. So your order should not exceed 8,500NGN

Thanks but I want to order something of 6000 and it still failed

Sterling bank master card

Whenever I attempt to order it never seems like they'll deliver to my doorstep.

I want to completely avoid going to the post office. Usually all I see is Aliexpress standard shipping.

This is not true. I use GTBANK and UBA MasterCard only for all my transactions on AliExpress.

The OP can open a dispute for his money to be returned back to him if he doesn't receive the item. As easy as ABC

All packages are opened!

Speedaf now delivers items tagged 'tracking available' to your doorstep such as phones.
I've bought many of such items via Aliexpress this year and once I see 'received by local delivery company', then I know I will get the item the following day.
However, normally before it gets to the delivery company, tracking ought to show 'custom clearing started', then 'custom clearing complete'.
What people do myself inclusive when ordering items that might require custom fee like phones is tell the seller not to label it as phone. U tell them to write something like MP3, radio etc and also write low value like 30 dollars. That way, u will likely bypass custom fee.
Try contact Speedaf if they have ur item.

Ambassadors:
Anything more than $20 wont fly. I mean the card wont process

Nigeria is finished!
Two years ago, I was still doing $200 monthly on my Naira Gtb MasterCard.

How about clothes, shoes and wristwatches, do they charge much on them or are they delayed?

Doorstep delivery started recently I think. Years ago I used to go collect my items at the post office but since last year, it has changed.
It is however for only items with 'tracking available' option for shipping.

primeFestus:

They are not. Packages are opened randomly but not all. In fact most are not opened.

Nogymmarts:
Have never experience this type of thing, and theres nothing by held by custom. go to ur nearest post office to confirm from them.

i do buy and ship from 1688, alibaba and aliexpress and don't have issue with them

Do you pay with dollar or Yuan?
Kindly guide ���

It is the local courier company that now delivers items to doorsteps of customers.

Leemekzy:
Next time use shiptonaija. They provide you with address in america or UK where your items can be shipped to then they deliver it to your address here in nigeria.

chiefkpokp:

The limit on the barter USD card is $10,000 per transaction and you can carry out multiple $10,000 transactions in a day

Trust me it works perfectly fine

At what rate? Highest black market rate?

What difference does it make when compared with jumia et al?
