Depending on how remote your location is..
If you use your address.. it will be delivered to same address or the nearest post office.
If you use the Post office address then surely youbget it at the post office...

I never knew they can deliver to one's home address shocked,maybe dhl does sha, but I used aliexpress standard shipping.
my place isn't a remote area,its a small place between Lagos and Ogun state.
if I knew they could bring it to my front door, who have dropped a better address.

please ma, how much total did you spend? did you add accessories?
About 50,250 naira, there about .
I didn't add any accessories cause there are many complains about the tempered glass and flip case being unfit for the phone. And the ear phone is expensive sha,so I ordered for the standard package

Its fine if you wanna pick it up at the post office and drop a post office address ... But i think even though u drop your house address it ll be shipped to the nearest post office near you but if u lucky dey might deliver directly to you

My home is not really remote, but i spend most of my days in the office, the package will probably be dropped off at the central office, but i don't trust those guys their, so i think i'll be more comfortable with the post office address.

No problem mistake already made.

The post office will still notify you when your item arrives;
Else, check on them when the tracking information shows "Arrival at processing centre. (Country code: NG)"

In all, you're safe with Aliexpress...... Either you get your product or you get a refund.

You can get mi 5 or better add about 8k and get mi 5s, or you can go for the top mid range Mi Max and get the 64gig rom version.

Forget about that, there is no mistake anywhere, the most important thing is getting your device to the post office nearest to you, which you already did. When your phone arrives they will either call you or send an sms. Of course you already have a phone number with which they can contact you.

The bold isn't always true especially not when you have the tracking information of an item saying "Arrival at processing centre. (Country code: NG)". Its a registered mail so its traceable and for that you and aliexpress will be on a long thing while trying to confirm you didn't receive the item. There is a very slim chance of getting any decent refund when a registered mail goes missing not with a message like "Arrival at processing centre. (Country code: NG)".

thank you so much for your response... But something is nt clear here. I google the spec of both mi5 and mi max, but i notice the spec of mi max beat the one of mi5. Mi max has 64gig rom and 4gig ram with 4400mah as against 3000mah of mi5... I thought mi max wil be more expensive with that kind of spec. Please explain why mi5 is more expensive than mi max.
Thank you

There is a 64GB version of mi5 and a 4GB ram version of mi5. I'm not sure if you looked at the chipset and camera.

Mi5 is the flagship .., mi max is the mid ranger ....
Snapdragon 820in mi5 vs Snapdragon 650
Ceramic vs aluminum/metal
Flagship design
The only difference is the mi max has a 4850mah battery vs 3000mah in the mi5

Simple explanation is the processor powering the devices.

The mi5 is powered by a flagship purveyor processor while the MI Max is powered by a mid range processor.

There are other reasons, but the above is the major one.

Mi5 is a flagship device, MI Max is a mid range device

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 MSM8996 on the Mi5 has a higher performing CPU compared to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 on the Mi Max.

Of course you are looking at mi Mix...

Mi Max is different from Mi mix... Visit GSMarena for clarification....

If you get like 85k...
Get Mi max 4GB RAM and 128GB ROM,
Mi 5 Prime 3GB RAM 64 GB ROM
or the Redmi Pro 4GB RAM and 128 GB ROM...
