I've bought quite a few items from Aliexpress and have never had to do anything like that. Lol

That is so loving weird then since I am not using a VPN and I live in the USA. I guess I'll try turning off uBlock and using a different credit card. I looked into AliPay but that also requires identification documents.

I ran into this:

You have to purchase from only one seller at a time for them, I think.

Most of the stuff in my cart goes on sale at midnight PST tonight, but the sale in general is proof positive that I will buy crap that I don't need if it costs less than the price of lunch and is about a third of its regular price.

For instance, buy this watch if a winner is you. Most of the faces are ugly as hell, but a couple of them are inoffensive if you like mechanical watches with exposed gears.

I think disabling uBlock and switching from VISA to American Express may have fixed whatever problems I had. Here's to hoping I become the proud new owner of a bootleg Chrono Trigger cart.

I highly recommend that people only browse on the website but do all of your account-based stuff on the app. Everything is cheaper on the app, and you never run into any of this authentication bullshit related to VPNs and adblockers.

I just installed the app and it asked for permission to make phone calls and I denied it, then got a pop-up that said

"We are not actually going to make phone calls, but really just want to track your device for purposes of verification and fraud prevention"

Very good advice.

I browse on the website and add my shopping to my wish list, then do the actual purchasing on the app, by adding the contents of my wish list to the cart.

That way, you get all the food prices.

Does the app still work? I remember denying a permission when I installed it (could have been that one, can't remember) and mine seems to work fine. I'm on an Android phone for what that's worth.

The new customer coupons don't seem to work properly, but I think I could still buy things for normal price if I had tried? I don't know, as soon as I saw that and it wouldn't let me continue, I said gently caress that and uninstalled it.

The select coupons don't apply to everything. And while they say "save $2.00 on purchase over $2.01" when you win them, that seems to be one of those things like "save upto 90%" where it's possible, but most of the deals won't be nearly that good. The actual deal for any given item is shown on that item page.



So for this one, I wouldn't be able to use a select coupon unless I bought C$74.69 worth of cat pillows.

Basically they are only useful for big purchases.

If your purchase qualifies for a select coupon there will be a checkbox on the confirmation page, not the buy page.

Has anyone else been having trouble logging in to AliExpress? I made an account & ordered a ton of stuff yesterday, went back today to browse a bit and I can't log in. The verification thing fails every time. For some reason it's stopped letting me browse the site while logged out, I can only see the first page of anything I search.

This happened to me once and it took over 24 hours to get resolved and I remember emailing them, but I can't remember if they actually did anything. Did you try clearing cache, cookies, etc? Alternatively just browse on the app. You should be checking out on the app anyway, unless you can afford not to care about mild to moderate savings.

I just had to contact six sellers and let them know my order was sent to the wrong address. Am I going to be blackballed? :ohdear: I still wanted to buy the stuff, I just accidentally sent my cart to a friend in California!

Also, these are cool: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1PC...2696594323.html I have some of them and they're super handy, and this is a good price for them :)

Probably not! As long as you're polite and apologize and admit you made a mistake, sellers are generally chill.

Yeah I've never said yes to that and it's worked for over a year. Through updates and everything. I went in and manually turned on tbe camera for an image search, it didn't trigger the popup.
