My problem has been that the shoulders are too narrow so while the arm length and shirt length are ok, I can't hold my arms out in front of me unless I wanna do a fat guy in a little coat impression

Just FYI, Asian shirts tend to be narrower on the shoulders/across the back the sleeves are tighter

Marks & Spencer sell 'Asian Cut' shirts which are tighter in the arms under the armpits and the sleeves are 2" shorter.

Also Shirt Talk; a lot of the allover print shirts will use a 100% manmade plasticky nylon shirt that is not breathable in the slightest, and will sweat and stink you up in short order with even the least exertions. If you want to do more than post an instagram of LOL @ my new tee you may be disappointed

I've got one of the shirts on deck. I'll defo post a trip report once it arrives. The size guide mapped pretty close to American sizes and I ordered a size up anyway, so we'll see how that goes in like three months.

most place around here just sell them as "muscle tees" because only people I see wearing them think they have muscles but rarely really do

It's a bit impenetrable, but I think you win coupons for the store you selected when you entered game world. So if you just click a random store because you don't care, you'll get coupons for that random store, not a store you actually want.

Nah, its def. Hair stores, didnt play the game at any.

By the way for anyone confused, Select coupons are the ones you can use anywhere. Each store's bubble game has one $2 select coupon (usually at the back), its not a bad idea to try two extra attempts for them, since it's still a better coin exchange than the typical usage.

When's the sale?

4-5 days, I don't know what exact time & date it starts. It's the anniversary sale, a lotta sellers participate and some go nuts every year, but there's no obligation to participate, so not everything is on sale. There's also the site wide coupons stuff, like mentioned, and copied-from-Amazon specials where there's hourly sets of X of something for a super cheap price, limited quantity etc etc

You can tell if something will be on sale because it will have a "7th Sale" badge with a cheaper price (sometimes just a penny less) right under the price. If that's not there, it won't be on sale.


I got 90% from something marked $5.90 with "7th Sale $0.59" under it, but I apparently didn't put it in my cart.

I think these sale prices are app-only? Or some of them? Not sure. I usually browse on the computer for ease of finding cheapest thing with best shipping and then pay via the app for the savings.

I've done that a ton with multiple cards and had no trouble, BTW.

I ordered a couple things worth around seven dollara that havent come and get autoconfirmed as received tomorrow. I messaged the seller a few days ago with no reply. Do I open a dispute? They seem to be more for items that dont work like the USB cord mentioned here. Or do i just let this seven dollars go cause I got all my other cheap poo poo successfully lol

If they haven't replied you should be able to extend buyer protection, which I think applies to items not yet received. If not then sure, open a dispute. Getting away from shady scam-dealers was half the point of them rebranding to AE.

If its the same vendor who sent you all the other stuff though I'd just extend BP and move on tho

Definitely open a dispute, it's not hard to get your money back if poo poo from aliexpress doesn't show.

8:1 When he opened the seventh sale, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven neon-colored miniature trumpets were given to them.

3 Another angel, who had a golden tomagatchi knock off, came and stood at the altar. He was given many undersized t-shirts to offer, decorated with the prayers of all God’s people and random misspelled curse words, on the golden altar in front of the throne, which was adorned with low resolution images of codiene bottles.

4 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Control Art Restriction 666 T-Shirt anime Hellsing 3d print summer t shirt women men tops tee fashion streetwear 2017!”

This is a great shirt to wear to Burning Man if you want to ruin everybody's day

Got my tank top today and the feeling is like... imagine a fabric that's as close to wearing rubber as you can get while still being "fabric". Mine was also just a hair too tight so I kinda peeled it off me when I got done trying it on. I can't even imagine what it would be like if I wore it for a day, it'd probably glue itself to my body permanently.

Also my seller graciously sent me a pair of tiny person's ankle socks. They were small enough that the only use I'd get out of them would be a cock sock.

Yeah, they're pure polyester. Any kind of physical movement results in sweat pouring from your body. I'll never be able to wear that Carlton banks t-shirt to work now.

Though looking at the second picture it looks like it is just hanging from the anchor strings and not floating at all. Hmm, no, surely not. If you can't trust random aliexpress sellers, who can you trust?
