Hello Sara,
I have dealt with both Alibaba and AliExpress suppliers with no incident. However, I prefer to use my Nakumatt Global card to make purchases as it is not linked to any bank account, thus I only top up what I need to use (the exchange rates make you cringe though). For delivery, I use clearing and forwarding companies as it saves one the stress of having to handle customs (who can be very unreasonable sometimes).On 30 March 2016 at 15:20, Job Muriuki via skunkworks <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:I always buy from Aliexpress (retail arm of Alibaba) and so far zero cash lost and you get refunded if the goods never get delivered.Regards,
Job Muriuki,

I normally only transfer what I need when I need it, so essentially my card balance is zero all the time.ᐧOn 30 March 2016 at 15:12, Stephen Munguti <kamitu.sm@gmail.com> wrote:Thanks Jangita. Is the issue of debit card information stealing rampant or is it paranoia because they are Chinese.

There is a value above which you need to use a registered clearing and forwarding agent - can't really remember what that value is. This is 3 years ago btwOn 30 March 2016 at 13:53, Stephen Munguti via skunkworks <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:Hello skunks,Anyone having experience on buying goods on Alibaba and having them delivered to Kenya?
