User Experience:
I started buying items from aliexpress.com and alibaba.com. During my period of search of laptops and other gadgets, I started receiving emails from suppliers and even messages on my Skype. Then I was one Miss Alice Liu (according to her, that’s her name) of the shining industry co. Ltd. It was around October 2016. They said they were into manufacturing and selling of laptops, tv, smart devices and tablets. I was sceptical in accepting their proposal and they continued sending me the mails. So, one day I decided to give them a try and we advanced into the next phase which is bargaining. Then I requested for their company registration certificate and other documents which was later sent to me. After some weeks had passed, we concluded and I was supposed to pay them 540usd for 3 laptops and they agreed to supply me in less than 5 working days. I went to borrow money my friends to buy these laptops and promised to pay them back with interest hoping that I would sell them and make an extra 540usd as profit within the stipulated period. Due to the high dollar rate in Nigeria as at the time of the transaction, I was only able to send them 530usd and I discussed with this Alice Liu, who posed as the sales rep. I sent this money on the 23rd of December, 2016 and according to them, they said they didn’t get this money till February 21 after their long holiday. When they confirmed the payment I was hoping the item would get to me in less than one week as they promised but from one day to another I keep receiving excuses that my item is not yet ready and have not been manufactured… At first, I was shocked and I began probing to know why a so-called company that manufactures laptop would not have laptops ready. This lingered to almost 2 months time and recently my calls, chats and messages have been ignored. They no longer reply my messages and I will send numerous messages but no reply. I asked for refund but no reply… I asked them to send me the goods but no reply… And this money was borrowed to me and these friends of mine assumed that I am busy making money without giving them back their money… They even called the Nigerian police for me to arrest me for duping them.
