Your body can interfere with bluetooth signal on even decent devices, try holding it on the same side as the pocket your phone is in. If you don't need the microphone and are willing to spend probably 4 or 5 times what that cost I bought this for my car and it works flawlessly http://a.co/2Fw7ixo

A Pack of Kobolds posted:Ruh roh: GOP Senator moves to close shipping loophole that helps Chinese businesses on Amazon Yeah, the same thing is happening in Canada. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/rep...rticle36883687/ I'm fine with it though. The intent of the system was to make it possible for people in developing nations to communicate with people in countries that have a dramatically higher cost of living. A noble goal. The intent was never to have millions of small commercial packages pouring from China, that's just an unforeseen side effect. I'm not noble enough to avoid taking advantage of that loophole while it exists, but I won't be too sad to see it go either. Buying my junk from Walmart or a dollar store isn't a huge improvement ethically, but at least they have to help support my country through taxes and duties.

Because they look hilarious and I want a buff Patrick Stewart I bought a knockoff Chris Evans head for my Captain America that only came with a helmeted head, and it's been fine. Edit: I also remember seeing dozens of them at a hobby store in the Philippines. The likeness varies of course, but for $40-50 or whatever they cost now, they are perfectly acceptable. I'd say that the ones that copies Hot Toys are about 95% of the quality, but the real fun is in the ones that are unlicensed. evobatman fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Apr 11, 2018 |

so I bought these https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...2805671433.html They fit really well if you follow the measurements. I can barely walk in em but that's the point! I can share pics if y'all curious but i don't want to become BootDude 2.0. Anyway some of the straps are falling off, they're not super well secured to the shoe. I can fix it (I tailor) but would it be worthwhile to message the seller with pictures and request a partial refund? Idk what other's experiences are with that. They're really cheap for what they are and I'd def buy from em if you're into discount fetish shoewear. Quality may leave something to be desired.

You say that, but now I want to see a ballet/cirque routine by a troupe covered in straps and harnesses and whatnot. Hell, even get a bullwhip handle with a long black steamer for whatever that steamer dancing is called. Rope dancing on swings, the works

When you wear it you're on point, your entire body weight is down to your tip toes. You feel very unstable! kind of fun. I'm insanely skinny so these fit me perfectly. here's photos https://imgur.com/a/Yz4Vm i don't have a good phone camera. one of the pictures is of the strap coming undone. Is it worth to complain to a seller about stuff like this? Edit: I don't know if i should open a dispute or not.

I've ordered stuff from Aliexpress and sometimes the items come packed with this foam poo poo that just stinks like chemicals. I got some "Bamboo filled memory foam pillow" off Amazon and it has like 800 5 star reviews. The foam is the loving packing foam they use from china that stinks of chemicals. They tell you to spray it with fabreeze in the instructions. Everyones gunna die.

Is there any logic at all to the different shipping methods? The lowest / cheapest 5 or so are all "deliver in 20 to 60 days". And I've had "standard shipping" items show up I less than two weeks.

I've had some thing show up really quickly too. I think it just depends on where they are loading a shipping container with all these small packets. If you are lucky, you order when one is almost full and they throw yours in last, out first - also right when the ship is about to leave. If you order one second too late, yours is in the back of a container going on a new empty ship.

I think they just have one boat. If you order before it leaves it will only take a few weeks, otherwise you gotta wait for it to sit at some California port for a month, then it comes back and the rest of the poo poo goes out.

Ok, this thread has resulted in my spending far too much money so it's time to give something back. I've been mostly happy with my Ali purchases. I'll share the good ones. This bike gear has been decent as spares for when my good stuff is in the wash. The Good I think this is the best thing I've ordered on Ali. The glue on the phone mount is REALLY strong. The bike mount is extremely solid and well made. I use it every time I cycle and I love it. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Uni...2666393692.html I LOVE these woolen ties. I wear them as often as my $75 ones. You might need to resew the thing on the back but who cares, they're amazing for the price! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/tie/32254048117.html Nice jersey, very fast shipping, fitted larger than I was expecting. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Rac...2701120051.html This hat is ok, keeps me warm. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ICE...2829977143.html These shorts are fine for the price. The pad is actually more comfy than my $150 dollar Castelli pair. Material quality and fit isn't comparable though. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2104-New-Cycling-Shorts-3D-Gel-Padded-Bike-Bicycle-Outdoor-Sports-Pants-S-3XL-8-Style/1651699376.html These buffs are nice. I wear one on my face and one on my head when it's cold. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Liv...2807472065.html This under-saddle bike bag is great. I love how quick it is to get on and off. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/201...2600105191.html These lights are great. I gave some to my son for his bike. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/WHE...0002827059.html These dry bags are absolutely fantastic. I can't think of any reason to pay more. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Nat...2736453066.html This isn't the same one but I was very happy with the foam roller I ordered. Works out the kinks in my back. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/JUF...iceBeautifyAB=0 These fake oakley sunglasses are ok. I gave them to my sun and bought a genuine pair because the build quality and lenses aren't really comparable but if you're a casual cyclist then they'll be fine. Be careful of the really cheap ones though, they're not the same. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Aut...2835481223.html These rear lights are fan-loving-tastic. I bought 3 and I put them on everything, my dogs, when I walk them, my bike, my son, his scooter. They're sooooo good! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB...2822237533.html This bike tool is fine for emergencies. Not much fun to use if you actually want to get poo poo done though. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ROC...2421941820.html The quality and fit on this waistcoat isn't bad at all. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2016-New-Arrival-Dress-Vests-For-Men-Slim-Fit-Mens-Suit-Vest-Male-Waistcoat-Gilet-Homme/32719715571.html This waistcoat isn't bad at all. I'm happy with it. Not the best quality but it's ok in a pinch. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2016-New-Arrival-Dress-Vests-For-Men-Slim-Fit-Mens-Suit-Vest-Male-Waistcoat-Gilet-Homme/32654319367.html I really like this. The quality isn't super but it's very flattering if you're not a fat gently caress. I think I'll wear it today. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/201...2752624801.html The Lepin blocks are generally really good. I've bought loads of the smaller sets and my mate give this to me as a gift. It's really REALLY good and there were no missing pieces. The colour coding in the instructions were slightly inferior and the pieces are slightly lighter/sometimes need a harder press to make them flush but for 1/3 the price of the real set I can't recommend them enough. My one even came with free Bob Ross + Zangief + Robocop + M Bison minifigs! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fre...iceBeautifyAB=0 This mouse mat loving owns...as a surprise gift. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...2779033988.html I put my swim gear in this inside the dry bag. DO NOT use them for diapers because they are not loving waterproof! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Bab...2738058085.html I like these cable organisers a lot. They organise my cables. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ORI...2777277438.html These USB cables seem fine. I just leave them on my desk so they don't break. Wouldn't use them in bed. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/FONKEN-USB-Type-C-Cable-Quick-Charger-USB-3-1-Type-C-Cable-2128AWG-2-4A/32805226681.html I bought the 2m USB cable to play games on my TV. Seems fine, nothing notable about it other than it not having broken. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ugreen-Micro-USB-Cable-1m-2m-3m-Sync-Data-Charger-Cable-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-S4/32391749504.html The Bad This water bladder was strictly ok. It's a bit hard to clean but it seems to do the job. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2L-Water-Bladder-Bag-Backpack-Hydration-System-Pack-Camping-Hiking-Water-Bag-Drop-Shipping/32728229244.html This bike bell is absolute poo poo. Do not order under any circumstances. The spring broke after a few uses and it literally disintegrated and fell off my bike as I was riding to work. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ROC...2391981211.html These sunglasses were super uncomfortable and I looked stupid. I should have known that before I ordered them though. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...1892658992.html Someone in this thread recommended these pants and I fell for it. Dude, what kind of poo poo pants do you usually wear to think these are comfortable? Just buy some Kirkland or CK briefs! https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Best-Deal-New-Sexy-Underwear-Men-Men-s-Briefs-Shorts-Bulge-Pouch-soft-Underpants-1pcs-2458/32525423454.html These butterflies never arrived and they had them in my dollar store for the same price anyway. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/12P...2567749972.html These shoe covers are very flimsy and don't keep your toes very warm. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cyc...2647812196.html This fuckin' bike mirror does not work at all. bounces around way too much to see out of and the reflection isn't good. Frankly I don't like having a piece of metal next to my eyes anyway.

Just collected from the post office: LED Candle Multicolor These would be great for holidays. this tiny mortar and pestle.   More of a novelty then a practical piece of kitchenware but I like it. Googly eyes. Because gently caress you thats why. Note that the prices of all of these had gone up recently so shop around.

My chat with the vendor on that wrong Fitbit case didn't go well. Here's a slightly simplified version: : Hi! I ordered case A, but I received case B, and it doesn't fit. (sends photo of case B) What's our next step? : What's the SKU on the bag it was in?: Here. (sends photo of SKU): Yep, that's right. So what's the problem? It's...it's case B. It doesn't fit. I ordered case A, which is the one shown and described on the product page. This one (insert URL for case A), not this one (URL for case B), which is what I got, and which doesn't fit. I can't use it. (sends photo of case B beside visibly larger/differently sized Fitbit and visibly larger/differently sized OEM case, plus side view of Fitbit atop case B showing that it is much too big to fit into case B): [quoting case A specs] "Compatibility: All compatible" : So the pictures, product name, and description/specs for case A are all wrong. Gotcha. Time to open a dispute.Only one other AliExpress vendor sells case A, and only in lots of ten or more. Phooey.
