The enamel pins on AliExpress are a crapshoot

I've gotten some that look absolutely perfect and some that look like they fell on the factory floor, got wiped off with some spit and thrown back on the assembly line

One-up everyone and bring a coffee cup to work. I got a cheap (like 2 or 3€) Lomonosov from the flea market and when everyone else is drinking from company-branded paper cups at meetings I'm just sipping my brew from an actual cup and looking like the complete rear end in a top hat that I am :smugmrgw:

Alternatively, you can get photos printed on mugs fairly easily. I work over dozens of remote sites so did this using photos of my face. It helps with brand recognition when I'm not physically there all the time.

I'll be honest, I would've already bought this unicorn mug if I wasn't real worried about something I'd have to drink out of being made of poison:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3D-Unicorn-Mug-Ceramic-Coffee-Cup-Children-Girl-Boy-Cute-Creative-Hand-pain-Mug-Gift-Color/32831604559.html

However, if you order one of these fancy things, most of the lead will probably be in the enamel and not the glass. Probably.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Cre...2872489204.html

If this is actual bamboo and not bamboo-looking plastic, maybe it's not fully made of poison?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Nat...2837402038.html

If you'd love a cup like this, you probably already expect everything to be against you, including your poison mug.

I feel like if you drank from that unicorn mug at the wrong angle you’d lose an eye.

I probably wouldn’t buy a mug from AE cos all my packages from there arrive extremely squished. So I don’t think it’d survive the journey.

People seem to like a lot of intricate bongs from China, if they can make it here intact I’d guess a mug could too.

I own the unicorn mug,it takes some skill. However it is worked good and it doesn't lose coloring. It's a cute if impractical mug

It survived shipping to Germany no problem. It was wrapped in styrofoam and tons of tape in a box

I got 3 glass teapots from ali / banggood, without any issue. And with the thin glass they have they're way more fragile than a mug.
Give it a try, worst case, you could order some leaded glue to fix them.

I ordered a Buchner funnel from Wish and it arrived in a USPS "damaged mail" envelope, and make a suspicious clinking sound. The flask was fine, but the funnel was smashed to bits.

Sent a complaint, along with some pics of the shards and the envelope, and got a replacement in the mail pretty quickly. No charge.

At least some dealers there are decent with customer service.

I have a set of mugs like this that I got from a freebie! They're pretty nice, but I haven't used them (or lead tested them) because it looks like a giant pain in the rear end to clean, and honestly I have more than enough mugs already.

I use a glazed tankard with a picture of the HMS Lowestoft on it for a work teacup. It holds about a pint. I picked it up in a charity shop for a few pounds. I think all my crockery came from charity shops.

I ordered soccer shoes about two months ago and they just arrived. Quality is decent for total beginner shoes,but I'm a dumbass and can't measure my feet correctly, so they're four sizes too big. My error, so I guess it's off to Amazon I go.

In November I ordered a most likely unlicensed Star Wars shirt, buyer protection ran out in February. I messaged the seller a couple times asking to extend the protection and got no response and saw no change in the order. So the day after protection expired, I did what Ali says "if order doesn't arrive by x day contact support" - I initiated a dispute for an item that did not arrive. Ali then repeatedly extended the dispute by over a month until finally yesterday they closed the dispute and agreed to refund.

Does this sound like the normal Ali dispute process for an item that didn't arrive? In the meantime, I ordered 3 more items which all arrived (ie shipping should not take this long in my opinion) and I can no longer find the shirt for sale on Ali. I think I will either receive a free shirt in the mail 6 months later, or it maybe was seized by customs.

Did you talk to a chat person after initiating the dispute? Ive gotten my money back the next day both times.

I'm about to initiate a dispute on 43c stylus. Let's see if they've replied to my message yet. I want that loving stylus

I spoke to a live chat agent twice, the first time they said "I need a minute to check" and never came back, the second agent only said to keep waiting since Ali repeatedly updated the dispute saying "wait x days protection has not ran out" despite me never seeing it being extended.

Not sure what it would really represent but I am sure it would look hella sweet.

I've gotten stuff from these stores and have gotten good stuff. Kind of a mix between masking and backed tape that's tough to tell at a glance from the listing, but not a huge deal. The backed stuff is just a little annoying to deal with, but way easier to cut to length.
