I'm looking for an MP3 player that a kid could use but doesn't have WiFi. Strictly music, maybe coverart, no movies or games. A good ui is a huge plus. Y'all seen anything like that?

After we figured out that my ancient Shuffle wasn't doing so hot, we picked out this player for my son: https://www.amazon.com/AGPTEK-Player-Playback-Lossless-Supports/dp/B01LZVDMEL/
Other models from this brand have Bluetooth and more onboard storage, and one even runs off an AA battery. But basic will do for my son till he needs/gets a phone (probably next year). I didn't check Ali since he needed this fairly quickly (school trip), but who knows?
He's very happy with it, by the way. (He's 13.)

I ordered what I'm pretty sure is Ali poo poo off Amazon (knock-off Fitbit clips--yes, my One finally bit the dust :() because I needed it quickly. The package was due on a Thursday; then I got an update saying it would be late, coming Friday; then an update saying "It was damaged and will not be delivered. We'll return it and refund your money." :confused:

It arrived a day later, completely intact. :iiam: The whole experience was so weird. I spoke with Amazon customer service trying to reverse my refund, but I don't think there's a way to do that.

Amazon is real weird about stuff outside of their normal scope. I recently ordered some decals for use on some controllers, which were due to arrive the same day as some other item (charging dock for my switch controllers). I got a notification that both packages would be delayed due to delivery issues, though the decals showed up that evening, but not marked delivered, and eventually the charger was scanned back in at the depot and properly marked delivered the next day. Despite contacting Amazon and the seller multiple times and telling them in very clear language that I have the package and they can mark it complete, I still have it showing as "On it's way but late" and "Package Might be Lost". And this isn't like a few days, this was from the beginning of the month at this point. Might try contacting again on a lark but doubt at this point it's going to help.

Porpoise noise continues.
Every tourist-oriented store in Barcelona is choked with Ali stuff. There are entire chains here (e.g. Ziel) that are just jacked-up clothes from Wish.

I flip vintage and am always shocked by people who show up at markets/meets/etc. that have nothing but "vintage" dresses from Ali sellers.

I got the latest at the time Bluedio over ear noise cancelling headphones and I have never owned Bose but they worked good on a few flights and they have a ton of features I have never used, the battery lasts forever and are USB-C. I use them now just bluetooth at home while kids are asleep to watch car stuff on youtube on my surface. If you collapse all my comments you should be able to find when I ordered in this thread. They have definitely been worth the $35 I paid. I also got some airpod knockoffs that were rated good at the time but are complete garbage.

I like my Bluedio headphones, too. They do a good job blocking out the noise, sound pretty good, and as noted above, good battery life.

I've got a set of earbuds on the way for when I don't want to walk around with big ol' headphones on. We'll see about those. Also a bluetooth adapter I can plug into the TV for quiet. Another we'll see item.

I've never really had a problem with Ali shipping, and had a number of good ones in a row, but now have a bunch of packages lost in the ether that are about 6 weeks since shipment, which is close to when I lose hope.

Mostly posting because I know claiming they're gone forever will magically make them show up. One of the pairs of earrings did pop up the other day, but they were more recently bought.

I've ordered a bunch of crap from Ali because of this thread over the last 18 months or so. Here's some highlights:

Nail clipper, tweezer, etc set for $2.50 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32994706160.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.742a4c4duWPsdY
Power supply units for building custom LED strip setups. Hasn't set my house on fire in the last few months. Various prices https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32911389359.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.742a4c4duWPsdY
Decent "costume" watch. I've even gotten compliments on it, surprisingly. All the sub-$2 watches are hit or miss, and the bands are basically tissue paper, but so long as you don't wear them daily, you can't beat them. I get them to accessorize with specific outfits. $2 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32905287219.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.742a4c4duWPsdY
Cotton pocket squares. Make sure you order the blue one. $1.50 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32593888397.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4d15cSx8
Wireless charging stand. A little finnicky about where you put the phone, but I've been using it since January with no problems. $8 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32819533016.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dzpl9gW

If anyone wants a not at all chinese quality multitool check these out. The brand is Nextool which is apparently a xiaomi subsidiary like wiha
https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20191027155919&SearchText=nextool
They have a few different models and the ones I have are very high quality with tight tolerances
I bought mine from "E-Source Factory"

As I understand it, they were designed and crowdfunded in Japan then produced by xiaomi under license with lots of patents in China.
You can buy them for about double on amazon and they are generally well reviewed.

her most popular single and debut album were both international #1 hits! it’s not too obscure!

but also, that dress isn’t quite her style, it’s a little too feminine.

but also ALSO, this silhouette is having a moment:
