I hope you know how to activate and register you
master card, if you don't know drop your comment
and you will get your answers.
Since you have activated and registered your card,
it is now ready to be use to purchase anything on
the internet where MasterCard is accepted.
Fortunately, AliExpress accept MasterCard as one
of its payment methods. So in this section, I will
be walking you down on how to actually place your
order and get it shipped to your home address
anywhere you are in Nigeria. So let’s begin…
Once you’ve made an informed decision on which
laptop you want to buy among the ones you have
in your Cart, login to www.aliexpress.com and
locate your Shopping Cart and then click the
Buy Now button underneath that particular laptop.
After that, you will be presented with a page
where you will have to fill in your Shipping
Address first. This is the address you want
the merchant to send your laptop to. If you want
the merchant to send the laptop to your own house,
then fill in your own house address. Make sure
the address is correct.
See the below information to give you clue of how
to go about this.
Number 1: Email
Enter your primary email address here. This is how
you, AliExpress and the Merchant will be communicating
to each other. Make sure the email address is correct.
Number 2: Name
This should be your name or the name of the person
that will receive the laptop when it arrives. Make
sure the name is the same thing with the name on your
ID Card because that is what the courier guy will ask
to use identify yourself. If you are not the one to
receive the laptop, then enter the name of that person
but make sure that is exactly what was written on the
person’s ID Card.
Number 3: Country/Region
Select your country here. Since you’re in Nigeria, just
choose Nigeria.
Number 4: Street Address
This part is very important. Make sure you don’t get it
wrong. Enter your home address correctly and descriptively.
Enter your own house address in the provided space, then
enter your City and State.
Number 5: Zip/Postal Code:
This is also important. It helps the courier to quickly
locate your area using the code. If you enter this
wrongly, you may never get your laptop delivered
successfully. My own Postal Code for my area here in
Ilorin is 240001. To know your own Postal Code, visit
NIPOST website at www.nipost.gov.ng and check for your
local government.
Number 6: Tel/Mobile
This is where you will enter your phone number. This
is also important because if the courier doesn’t meet
you at home, they can call you up to come get your
laptop. The first box is for your country’s code which
is 234, while the second box is for the network’s area
code which can be 080 or 081 or 070. And the last is
your mobile number.
Number 7: Continue
Click the Continue button to proceed.
Once you’ve successfully completed your shipping
address and clicked Continue, you will be able to
proceed with the purchase of the laptop.
You will then be led to the laptop page where you
will be placing your order. Once on that page, click
on the Place Order button and the laptop details will
appear. This will contain your shipping address, name
and every other information about the laptop including
the price. This is just for you to confirm that all
info is correct before going ahead to pay with your
card. You can then click the Pay Now button to proceed
with payment.
The following page will be where you will be choosing
your mode of payment. If you are using the GTB Naira
MasterCard, which is the normal ATM card you will
receive after you open a Savings account, you should
choose MasterCard.
If you have the GTB Dollar Visa Card, it is still
the same process of payment. Just choose Visa.
Fill in the information correctly. I think we’ve
cover this earlier. The first one is your Card Number
which can be found on the front side of your card.
Also, enter the Expiry Date and then the Security Code.
The Security Code is the CVV2 at the back of your card.
It is usually a 3-digit number (beside the signature panel)
at the back of your ATM card.
Then click the "Pay My Order" button.
You will then be transfer to MasterCard website where
you will be required to provide your Activation Code
and SecureCode. I hope you still remember all that?
Firstly you need to confirm your Personal Greeting
and then enter your Password. The Password here is
the SecureCode you generated from MasterCard website.
Click on Submit and the next page will come up asking
you to enter your Activation Code. Enter it together
with very other details on that page and click the
Continue button.
The next page will show up telling you you’ve
successfully paid for the laptop.
Click on the Pay for these orders now to complete the
whole payment process.
At this point, you don’t have to do any other thing
again. If you check your email, you would have received
a message from the merchant telling your the whole process
was successful.
They will start shipment within the next 3 days and your
laptop will get to your house within 7 days of shipment.
Once they’ve finished processing and shipped your laptop,
they will send you another email that your laptop is on
the way.
There are only two things you can do at this junction;
1) wait till your laptop arrives and
2) track the location of your laptop.
When you received that email, it means DHL or any chosen
courier has took over your laptop and they are already
on their way to your address. Most of the private couriers
are reliable so you don’t need to worry about your laptop;
they will surely get the laptop to the shipping address.
But if you are curious and impatient just like me, you
can know the movement of your laptop realtime. Once your
laptop is with DHL, they will issue a Tracking Number to
you. This is the number you will use to track the location
of your laptop. You can do this in two ways; it’s either
you call DHL and they will ask for your Tracking Number,
then they will tell you exactly where your laptop is. Or
you can go to their website, find where to enter your
Tracking Number, enter it and press Enter and it will
show you how your laptop is been moved from China to that
present moment you are checking it location.
If all goes well, within 7 days you should get your
laptop delivered to your house address. Immediately it’s
been delivered, you will get another email from AliExpress
letting you know that the package has been delivered and
that you should confirm if it’s the right package and if
you are satisfied with it.
If it’s different from what you ordered for or discussed
with the merchant, you are given the chance to send a
Refund Request within 5 days of receiving the package
so that you can get back your money.
So if you're simply not satisfied with the package,
log into www.aliexpress.com, click My Orders and you'll
be asked to log in again. You will then see the order
you've just placed. Click on Open Dispute and follow
the instructions to get refund.
On my personal experience, I have not had any course
to request any refund because I haven’t have any problem
with any merchant so far. I always received what I’ve
always purchased.
Wow… congratulations. You are now ready to purchase
your own brand new laptop for as low as N14,000.
I hope this series has been helpful a lot. Why don't
you send me feedback, reviews and whatever you think
about this series. You can do that by replying this mail.
MEET AT THE TOP
