Oh poo poo I forgot I ordered the AMERIGAN ORIGINALOO patches. They're bigger than I expected other than the UFO patch.

I bought a t shirt and paid for 3XL cause i figured that would be like 2XL and it arrived! However it was not only small the decal was applied crooked and offset slightly to the left like aint nobody got time fo dat when it comes to applying poo poo. Close inspection shows the size label had been removed and I measured it and it corresponds exactly to size XL on the sellers size chart. Sad!. So i messaged the clown and after sending him pics of the disaster he agrees in bad english to refund 'if I put personal reason'. Ok i says. Thats 2 days ago and I'm hosed if I know whats happening, am I supposed to open a dispute or what.

Yeah, open a dispute and say that the merchandise was not as advertised. That "personal reasons" poo poo is garbage and AE isn't going to hassle you for your legitimate complaint.

yeah so ok I put in a dispute to get my money back and didn't see a 'personal reason' option in there so I just told them what the actual prob was and asked for a full refund. I'm not altogether sure what the clown meant by 'personal reason', did he expect me to say I just changed my mind or ? gently caress him / her anyway. Everything else I bought of ali has been cool and good, first time I had a problem.

Apparently, I go to AliExpress when I'm drunk because that's the only explanation for this little box of trick arriving.



The whole box is about the size of a deck of cards, and is full of tiny postcards, hang tags, bits and bobs. I have no idea. And now I'm a little worried about what else I might have ordered.

Try Xingqui Retro Game Store or Yuan Dian Digital Game, they list all their black and white Game Boy games as GBC but they're still there. Also searching for the title of a game usually gets better results than searching for the system name.

A reminder that Yanwen Economic Air Mail is the worst shipping option possible. If there is the option to spend an extra twelve cents to upgrade to China Post Small Packet Plus, do it.

Duh Ugh
May 27, 2008
Meh, I'm ordering from China because it satisfies my impulse shopping habit in the most economical manner*. I can wait for whenever things show up. I haven't had anything fail to arrive yet. Yanwen seems like it just means I forget I've ordered something before it arrives. So I get a happy surprise in the mail instead of obsessively checking 17track to see when my <$1 junk from China is going to arrive.






*I say economically, yet somehow have managed to make it to reward level A3 w/ almost 1000 reward points. Accounting for points from feedback on everything, and multi-day shopping binges, I've probably spent about $400 on miscellaneous junk from China...

Cool man. Other people may choose to get their poo poo two weeks sooner for less than a quarter, but your preferences have been noted.

I do the same, as an A4, but honestly it's way cheaper than the impulse shopping habits I used to have for anything else.

Behold the magic of Chinese shipping. No one knows when anything will arrive. I've had stuff take less than a week to get almost literally halfway around the globe. Meanwhile something I ordered that shipped from inside the US took almost a month. :iiam:

It defies all logic beyond "China is really big and different sellers ship from different parts of it." I have ordered stuff from different sellers on the same day and had CPSPP items arrive before ePacket items. I would bet heavily that your item was not shipped by Yanwen Economic Air Mail, though.

The shipping has been really hit or miss for me so far with Ali. So far I got about 80% of my orders within 2-3 weeks, which is fairly typical. But a few things like this cheapo logic analyzer I just got took like a month and a half. Which would've been frustrating if the other order that has all the electronics I was going to analyze wasn't still stuck god knows where. Supposedly it left China a month ago :(

Banggod's been certainly way more consistent even with their free option, which makes sense since they have a centralized operation of course.

We've had this (or at least its non-Chinesium version) for years and it's particularly great for pans without any handles that can be conveniently moved into the oven when necessary. They're also easier to store.

"It's a pretty good post."
HATE post
"I don't understand"
SHIT ON post
"You shit on the post. Why."
I noticed with the shipping that if you take one of the ~$1 paid options, it's usually here in two weeks. That's China-Germany. That being said, for some stuff even that is not worth it. I hate when some of the sellers write "$0 - Gift" on the package. It makes German customs officers unhappy and is usually an automatic 2+ weeks and I have to fetch it in person from their office. Besides that, I love aliexpress. It's all the fun of shopping with none of the ruining yourself. I got some genuinely nice stuff there. I also love scrounging and finding the cheapest offer I can find. That being said, it's sometimes worth it to check eBay, as strange as that sounds. I had some cases where the same stuff was a bit cheaper on plain old eBay.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hig...2770073643.html

I have studio headphones with a way too long cable for my usage and I hope this will be a bit tidier than wrapping the cable around my computer. There are also some with an automatic winding mechanism that could be nice for on-the-go when you don't want that cable mess in your pocket.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Vin...2787009166.html

Key organizer. I got this one when it was $9. Very nice, although a bit big. There's a similar wallet. In person it looks way more expensive than it is.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/13Pcs-set-Silicone-Anti-Dust-13-Plug-Cover-Set-Stopper-13pcs-Laptop-anti-dust-plug-laptop/32620784635.html

USB-plugs Not really all that necessary but nice. The colors are even and bright and they fit into the ports snugly and don't fall out by themselves but also don't get jammed up either. Make things look a lot more cleaner and nicer. Can't really go wrong at that price. Also not only for Laptos. I am an old who doesn't surf on a tablet and I have a white ITX case and the black ones on the USB ports look cool.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ORI...2807239123.html

USB cable organizer. One of the things I didn't know I needed until I had it. The problem with such things is usually the glue that just doesn't last long with mechanical stress. I recommend attaching them with Velcro strips. the Velcro dissipates some of the mechanical stress and you can take it off easily if you have to fiddle with it.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NAI...2486940589.html

They are not silicon but plastic. Very though. Probably too expensive now, I got them in a flash sale. You can always use some extra feet! I use them to replace the decayed feet on old computer cases.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-1-pc-Beech-Wood-Coasters-Cup-Drinks-Holder-Mat-Coffee-Tea-Cup-Pads-Mats/32772321855.html

I like those. Probably too expensive for what they are but well made and they feel solid. Again, they look more expensive in person than they are.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hoo...2655729545.html

I often have screws or small plastic things I want to store for later use. I used to use these cheap self closing plastic bags everyone knows but they tend to open themselves and spill their guts all over the place and you can never completely fill them. There are several designs, I have these and plain white ones. They're nice.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...2795012316.html

That's how I label these bags.

That's my verbose aliexpress experience!

I’m mad too. I ordered some poo poo hoping it’d show up just before Xmas, and yet stuff is showing up in two weeks! Even worse, I was expecting knock off crap that’d be good for novelty gifts, but lots of it is good quality, therefore people think I care about them. Groan.
