Is it advisable to buy a phone like Samsung s21 ultra on AliExpress?

Yes it is, but you can tell the seller to declare the item as 'used phone' or something else but not Samsung s21.

Check reviews, the item reviews and the seller.

Take your time and do your homework on the seller.

If you see something that is too good to be true, Its probably not legit

Everytime I buy a Luxury wristwatch on AliExpress, it won't come.
I either get a refund or lose the money..
I think there're fuckers in Nigerian Clearing Houses.

1) Don't buy things on AliExpress that you can get in Nigeria cheaper, unless of course you've factored in the cost of transportation, the delay, the cost of the item and of course the rate at which you source dollars, eg I will not buy a product that is sold for ₦2500 in Nigeria for $5 in AliExpress, it is just not worth the stress.


2) Ask for dimensions of items if you are buying goods that has different sizes, don't be fooled by images used by sellers which may appear to exaggerate the size of an item when in real life it is just a toy.

3) Also if an offer is too good to be true 9.7 times out of 10 it is false. Eg a seller selling Samsung S22 for $70 may just be selling you a fake badly cloned copy of the real deal.

4) Be ready to wait. Goods can take between 8 days to 60 days to get to Nigeria. Every shipment has its own peculiarities, logistics is never an exact science. So chill and wait and after the wait and you don't get the items you ordered, file a dispute and get a refund.

Happy shopping.

Okay thanks

Your item is still in transit within Nigeria and will take a couple of days to get to your location. So exercise more patience.

For the number 3. I've not seen a fake device sold when it has the "original" tag.

If I see Original Samsung, then 10/10 times, it is the real deal.

Pls I need to ask;
Why is Pocket app by piggvest charging $10 to create a dollar card or is that the minimum balance or something else?
And what is their conversion rate to dollars.
