Sadly not, but maybe try reach out to them on Twitter or any social media where they are active - posts in the public light tend to get given priority above emails that are sent to their support lines. Sad that this is how things work nowadays :(

Do you perhaps have Truecaller? Just make sure that their (Customs) calls aren't being blocked by it

Nope, hadn't had any calls/sms/email from them. I checked my spam box and nothing there. I will try calling them tomorrow.

So how does it usually work? Do they ask you for the invoice or do they already have invoice from gearbest?

Aramex asked for my ID last Friday and that's the last time I heard from them.

I've had 2 experiences with Aramex that started out like this and ended in the package being declared missing/stolen.

Try this guy. He's the Imports Manager in JHB.

Good luck!

Dealing with Aramex was a real nightmare for me. Hopefully you have more success...

Thanks, will send him a message. Didn't expect Aramex to have such weak internal controls.
 
I had the earpiece speaker on my Redmi Note 2 repaired at the local corner shop. Only R120 but the guy had to match a speaker from a cheapo Nokia. It's amazing how modular the design of the phone is making it easy to strip down.

Hey guys, just figured this may be the best place to ask this...

What is the difference between the Redmi note 5A and 5A prime?
Besides the obvious memory difference, is it worth going for 5A Prime over just 5A

Note 5A

Not worth it?

Depends if you need a spare phone or not, you could always sell it
the extra ram and storage would be a no brainer for me - I can hardly cope with 32gb storage, wont be able to go back to 16gb

but the note 5a prime is a 32GB.. the 4A is 16GB which is free anyway...

is the note 5A prime worth a buy?

was using your initial choice for 5a prime 32gb is better than 5a 16gb
the 4a is a bonus

What is your budget? The 4x will be better with beefier battery and the smaller screen is perfect for 720p.
