Hello skunks, Anyone having experience on buying goods on Alibaba and having them delivered to Kenya? -- Best Regards, Stephen Munguti. +254720425104
Yep, They are quite good at supplying stuff especially bulk. Problems came up on the receiving end. Taxes and all. 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 btw On 30 March 2016 at 13:53, Stephen Munguti via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

Thanks Jangita. Is the issue of debit card information stealing rampant or is it paranoia because they are Chinese. On Wednesday, March 30, 2016, Jangita <jangita.nyagudi@gmail.com> wrote:

Personally I have not had experience with unknown transactions on my card. I normally only transfer what I need when I need it, so essentially my card balance is zero all the time. ᐧ On 30 March 2016 at 15:12, Stephen Munguti <kamitu.sm@gmail.com> 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, Skype: heviejob On Wed, Mar 30, 2016 at 2:24 PM, Jangita via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

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).

Hello Sara, How do you use a clearing and forwarding company (which company would you recommend). Also those using seller delivery do they call you or do they deliver to your post office? On Wednesday, March 30, 2016, Sara Kagotho via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
