I bought 30$ from aboki.
I walked into a UBA branxh asked for a dollar prepaid card and filled a form.
Also Required was:
Nin, bvn utility bill.
They took my photo and fingerprint.
45minutes later, they gave me a Visa card and told me my number (sent to my email and phone too)
Went to counter to pay in my 30$.
Went home and completed my AliExpress $20 transaction.
23$ was deducted. The extra 3$ is charged as Annual maintenance fee. No other charges.
7$ balance left in my àccount.
I will have to buy $ from aboki to deposit anytime I want to make more transactions.

$3 annual maintenance fee on UBA prepaid dollar card? Are they Father Christmas that they'd charge such a ridiculous amount? Don't be deceived into believing that! I got the card last year but didn't use it after realising that their annual charges was $19. Be aware that by the time the real deductions begin, then the reality will dawn on you. So, get prepared!

t33why:


The $3 should be activation/ transaction fee, the annual maintenance fee is $22, at least that was what I was charged last year.might have changed

Thank you very much! He could even be charged up to $25 now

This cracked me up! As low as GTBank's is, it got me when they charged me this year as I wasn't prepared for it!

Really? I ordered 7 items on the 28th of October and the 6 which were shipped via Speedaf have all been delivered to me, some last week and some even the week before last. But the one shipped thru Nipost has been showing "Arrived at Destination Airport (Nigeria)" since on 14th Nov, and then moved to "Arrived at Facility" on the 16th Nov. Since then there has been no movement nor communication from Nipost, and I'm told here not to expect to hear from them till in about 7-14days.

In Abeokuta for high pilferage items like phones and tablets,nipost is not good but they are fast and reliable in delivering all other items. They give you thirty days to collect your items from their office which is easily accessible in the town center and give you reminder calls.
Speedafs office on the other hand is six miles out of town. They give you fifteen days to collect your parcel. When the parcel is ed, they give you a call to be available and then you hang around all day waiting for the courier. With the post office you can just go anytime you like.

It never came nwannem

Chaii nwanne nka bu Ife mwute, mine is that I made 2 order an angle P20i Earbud and the silicon case so I got the silicon case in 19days from AliExpress but the Earbud itself was processed via PostNL (Netherlands) which is now in Nigeria but no update yet and from the tracking I was told to my local post office which is NIPOST so I emailed them with my tracking code and they told me my item was shipped to their headquarter in Awka which I visited via Google map and that was last week Saturday but they don't work on Saturdays the security man told me to check on Tuesday you know Mondays are for Sit-at-home, so I'll check there tomorrow even though I'll waste money and time I don't wanna regret buying this from AliExpress and also NIPOST are very slow and lazy because this item got to them since 11th November, 2023..

A word of advise?
Quit wasting your money & time visiting their office, they'll call you when your item is ready for pick up & tell you which particular office of theirs you'll come for pick up, get small change for hand for handling fee ranging from around #200 - #1000k


Another word of advise?

Whenever you have any of your good(s) coming through NIPOST, always comot your mind & wait till they call you for pick up, but if no call for pick up after like 65 days, open dispute

Please what's speedaff's delivery price for Lagos? They're telling me it's 1k meanwhile the email I got says it's 400.

Please oo, my package has used 6days at arrived airport in china, hope is not only me

How many days does it take to get a refund. Tried to get something with a Grey Virtual Card, got accepted but later cancelled by the seller.

It could take up to 5 days or more! I once cancelled an order like that on seller's request. Na so I dey wait, thinking I'd get the refund the following day. Like play, like play, the thin no gree hit my until the 6th day.

Nipost just called me to come along with N400 to pick up my delivery. Is that how they roll nationwide?

I wished I had seen your message on time, so I still visited the NIPOST headquarter in Awka and I met the man in charge of the deliveries I showed him that email screenshot attached on my previous so he said that they haven't gotten the package that's the email simply means they've packaged it for Awka but hasn't landed yet that they even last got their last package since 3rd of November, 2023 that this my package might come at the end of this month of unfailingly the first week of December....

So bros my main address on the package is "Onitsha" so now I'm not in Onitsha because of some school I'm in a town close to Awka which I explained to the man from NIPOST headquarters Awka and he gave me his number and asked me to text him my name, phone number, email and the address I used for the shipping, so I haven't don't that because I feel I might lose my package from him is this safe to do because he planned on letting me know when it arrives to them instead of waiting for it to be shipped to onitsha which is far from Awka so I wanna hear your opinion on this so I can text the informations to him.

Thanks in advance.

Wasn't expecting you to visit the NIPOST going by the email you shared. The man was right.
I don't know how trustworthy the man is but what he asked are needed to identify your package upon arrival at their office. You may wish to send to him or unlook but as he said, it may take awhile for you to receive it at Awka.

Onitsha is likely to be received via Post Office along Old Market road near Main Market Onitsha, as to giving the man the details he requested which are actually needed to identify your package, its upto you whether you can trust him to do that for you or not, its a personal decision

My personal opinion?

Leave everything & wait till you're called which will most likely be from PO in old mrkt road, Onitsha, if you're not available, send someone like good friend, close relative, siblings...anyone you can trust residing in/near Onitsha to help you collect, some of my packages were collected on my behalf when i wasn't around in Onitsha, if no message or call is recieved from Post Office after around 65 days from the day your order shipped from Aliexpress which will be counting through your 'track order' on Aliexpress, open dispute before time runs out, just relax & carry out your day to day activities & remove your mind from it

I was once in your shoes sometime this year & the likes of Jboixxx, Olamak1....help calm me down & you should definitely know that NIPOST is mostly slow

Customs ke! Something wey don through them already before e reach the local post office!
For the Postmaster to have called the owner for a pick up, that means the parcel has left Customs domain, never to return there.
