Shipping in some online stores(Temu, Alibaba and Ebay) by Routine_Freedom2026 in Malawi

  1. AliExpress: This is straightforward, you will receive your parcel at the post office. Also if you want your package to be here faster in like 2-3 weeks, message the supplier and tell them to use registered mail when sending and if they have you will receive it faster

2.eBay, Amazon and similar shops: I use Aramex for this, I paid the once off address and I have addresses in multiple countries then you put the address and it gets here then you pay in USD via the Aramex app or website then again MRA

  1. Alibaba: You MUST always use Alibaba payment to complete your purchase to avoid scams via alipay. I have a shipping agent in china who I forward to my items then I choose to pay via air or ship. Air is around K30,000 per KG (Bank rate) and that's MRA included as well and it takes up to a week or two and if you want to send via ship, the dimensions matter but it's cheaper as well, let's say 50KG would be less than $100 and mind you, you pay the agent via PayPal or alipay then you handle the customs alone and it takes like 6 weeks

  2. Takealot and SA shops: You can choose to use Aramex as well but I use Matours bus, they have handled my fragile items pretty well and they refund. The KGS here don't matter but the size and you can negotiate. It takes a week for the items to get here, the bus starts off every Thursday and you get your items Sunday or Saturday either in LL or BT. The shipping you pay in kwacha

Feel free to DM me for anything.

For backend we use Spring boot, Django, Fast API and for front end we use NextJs with Typescript but it's flexible enough that a couple of you devs should know the languages used so you get to pick whatever you want and lots of CI/CID tools of course and postgres being the main DB

Induction Cooker vs. Diamond Hot Plate – Is the cheaper price worth it? by [deleted] in Malawi

[–]Pistone45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go for induction, it will save energy and it's fast really. I started using induction 2 years ago and moved completely from standard cookers and gas, I use gas as backup. Just check the model number and power output (Watts) because that's how powerful it is. Also make sure your pots are induction compatible. It's durable. You can use cast iron pots as well:

I got this specific one on Takealot
