toideve: I hope you have gone through this thread very well. Many people are complaining that their items have not arrived after 60-70 days and you still want to go ahead to order from AliExpress. To your question, custom charge is real but you might be lucky. |
Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by toideve(m): 5:07pm On Aug 10, 2020 |
fibonacci2526: Yes I've gone through the thread. We all know the reason for the delay. My concern is about custom duty charge. |

mctfopt: Bro, how do you do your purchases on Alibaba? Is it in anyway similar to what obtains on AE? |

Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by mctfopt: 5:57pm On Aug 10, 2020 |
ceaser: It's kinda similar, but I think it gives you the buyer more work but it is more flexible. 1) Search for the goods you like. 2) Contact seller. 3) Negotiate both the item price and shipping fee. This negotiation is where the most work lies in. You'll see a seller that has, say lithium batteries 100AH to 250AH with price $4 to $300 (1-50pcs). But when you ask the seller the cost of one piece of 250ah, the seller will tell you $558, a cost not covered by the range. The next thing the seller is asking for your name and email address. Most firms may have like 20 salespersons. The only way they track the price offered to you is via that email provided. Notice the different salespersons can give you different prices for the same goods! So you better really know the price of what you are buying. Notice in the screenshot below one of the salesperson added a dollar to the cost of the charger. And also knew that Danny has given me a PI 4) Some sellers will even get you cheaper shipping method, but most of the time I don't use it as some of the shippers they'll get for you have no presence online and no guarantee what happens after your goods get to them. 5) I'm never in a hurry when dealing with the Alibaba sellers, we can spend 5 days negotiating till I get a fair deal. Apart from that, it is similar to AE, just that AE is more suited for retailers. While Alibaba is for people buying in bulk. Even stores with MOQ of 1 are still hesitant to sell that one when contacted. 2 Likes 1 Share

mctfopt: pls what is the cost of shipping in alibaba and can you recommend any shipping agency |
Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by HarrierJumpJet: 6:04pm On Aug 10, 2020 |
Mofolam: what was/is the tracking showing at the point of collection? |
Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by mctfopt: 6:18pm On Aug 10, 2020 |
chocolatee: Cost of shipping varies from store to store. Here are some few examples: I've shipped 10kg package for $175 via DHL, item worth $500 I've shipped 1kg package for $40 via DHL, item worth $45..very important item I've shipped 2.2kg package for $38 via FedEx, item worth $113 Funny enough virtually all sellers will tell you that FedEx is costlier I don't know how one seller like that shipped the 2.2kg package for $38! I use shipping agency for very heavy stuff, I can't recommend any agency as all of them comes with one wahala or the other. |

HarrierJumpJet:Up until I collected it, it didn’t even show EDI received. It was still dispatched to overseas 1 day after it was delivered. I didn’t check back since then. |

georgee:Lol. I placed my order on the 23rd of June with AESS but if I were you I won't get my hopes up. People have made two orders the same day and they arrive at very different times. But let's hope August is our month. |

Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by mctfopt: 6:37am On Aug 11, 2020 |
Jayveed: Paid import duty of 14k on the 10kg pack. I guess custom can't just let that pass without charging it. Haven't paid any other custom duty on the other packages. Import duty is random. You can pay import duty on same package that others will get free. The custom people are so random, but I've noticed that you are more likely to pay duty on goods shipped by DHL than other courier services in my experience. That does not mean the others are free of duty, custom duty in Nigeria is VERY random. 1 Like 1 Share |

mctfopt: Thanks a lot...you don't know how long I've been searching for this kind of information. So you're saying I might pay and might not? And if I was to pay does it depend on the weight of the material? What I'm importing is like a quarter of a kilogramme. |
Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by mctfopt: 7:55am On Aug 11, 2020 |
Jayveed: No, what you pay import duty on is not based on weight, it is often based on value. Eg if you use DHL or FedEx on Apple products like iPhone, it'll be hard not to pay duty. How much does an average phone weigh? I've received a 7kg item that costs nearly $700 but I paid no duty. But if I was to import iPhone 11 Pro Max, they'll surely hammer me import duty. Also, I think they check the value of the product declared, that is why most Chinese will under default never quote the real cost of a product on their invoice unless otherwise stated 1 Like |

mctfopt: Thanks for this bàbá. I've always believed that Alibaba thingy is strictly reserved for big time commercial importers and not few items meant for personal use. I go definitely need more tutorial and guidance as I continue the foray into that Alibaba niche. Edited: • But the "Alibaba payment method with credit card" option you selected is not the same as using the MasterCard debit card on AE, is it? • And is there anything like Buyer's protection on there, in case a deal goes south? • What's "PI"? |
Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by ceaser: 8:34am On Aug 11, 2020 |
Mofolam: Then this highly suggests that the non-update issues for weeks is from NIPOST side. Probably it's NIPOST that is supposed to acknowledge the "EDI received" info and update it on the tracking. And likely the item has arrived Nigeria since shortly after the "dispatched overseas" update, but as na NIPOST way nau, na to do things anyhow. |
Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by mctfopt: 8:56am On Aug 11, 2020 |
ceaser: Debit card or ATM card is what I meant. The PI is proforma invoice which gives the breakdown cost of item , shipping and handling fee (if any). You can use this PI to source dollars from bank for bank payment. See sample below 2 Likes

Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by ceaser: 9:00am On Aug 11, 2020 |
mctfopt: Thanks. So do you in most cases source for the dollars from banks to pay up or you just pay with the MasterCard debit card and the bank deducts the naira equivalent as it obtains with most users of AE on here? In fact, I dey go install that Alibaba app fess now now. 1 Like |
Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by mctfopt: 9:01am On Aug 11, 2020 |
ceaser: I sourced for dollars to make payment for orders above $500 or I can decide to max out several cards telling seller to split payment 1 Like |
