Pretty sure that viewing items fucks up your recommendation s. Also if you apply for freebies it favorites the store... I have literally thousands of favorited stores now which makes the feature very useless

These actually ended up costing $30 which is about the upper limit of how much I'd gamble on something off Ali but I just really liked how they looked.

I have order apparels on aliexpress, mainly because I can't find those weird poo poo anywhere else. For example I have ordered 2 vests which satisfy the follow check list: 1 down or synthetic down inner layer 2, outer layer made with reflective fabric 3, has a hoodie. As you can see these are some very niche stuff I set out to order. However, even after following the size chart on the sales pages, the vests are still one size smaller. So my advise is to follow the size chart, but add 1 size up for clothing.

GutBomb posted:Are the instructions that come with the fake Lego sets on Ali anywhere near as good as official ones? I’m thinking of knockoffs of official sets. Here's a follow up on this. I ordered this Simpsons house Lego knockoff on January 19th and it arrived yesterday (April 21st) which is by far my longest (and most expensive) purchase experience from Ali Express and... It didn't come with instructions. And the pieces came in like 30 different bags directly in the shipping box, not a branded "Lepin" box or anything like that, and they weren't packed in the same bag arrangement as the official set's 7 bags. We ended up just dumping them all and then sorting by color. It is a 100% knockoff of the official Lego set, so the downloadable instructions available from lego.com work fine, but man they are super low resolution. It can be hard to see what the pieces are. Here's an example:  Overall, I paid 5 times less than I would buying the legit set on eBay so I'm pretty happy with it, just unfortunate about the shipping time and the lack of included instructions.

The "feels like stepping in poo poo" sandals are nowhere near as squishy as that appealing ad copy would have you believe. They're made of a dense foam, firm and supportive. They're perfectly comfortable, but not like those super-squishy toys that are (were?) all the rage, the ones you could squoosh into oblivion before they slowly regained their shape. I think I would have enjoyed POOP FEEL sandals for the sheer novelty of it, but I'm sure this firmer foam is much better to walk on.

This is definitely normal for sets that are old enough to not have the newer high res instructions on legos site. I always just Google the instructions and check around to be sure, but 90% of the time everyone is just using the same scans, either as a pdf or jpegs made from that same pdf. Worth searching though. I usually don't find the pricing on sites like yourwobb.com to be much more than ali, so being able to see what brick manufacturer they're from and much more reliable shipping is always worth it for me.

Dresses are an absolute crapshoot on sizes, even following the size charts can't save you. Your best bet is to err on the side of too big and have enough sewing knowledge to fit it a bit better. The biggest problem is dresses where the waist is too big, and ends up riding up to mid-titty. I've bought at least four dresses where I needed to add tighter elastic to the waist to prevent this. And then there was this: I can fit most things as long as the bust will manage 48". The size chart when I bought this said I should get 4x. When it showed up, it was sized for a wacky waving inflatable tube woman 58" in diameter with massive honkers in her armpits. I managed to resize it well enough to wear, and as long as I wear a belt my waist doesn't disappear, but I should probably modify it some more so the straps stop falling off my shoulders. Since it was $21 total and looks cool I'm still not mad at it.

The Mr. Bean car arrived!  Instructions were clear and it even came with a few extra pieces. The fit isn't as good as LEGO but it's fine enough for the 6 bucks I paid for it.

Seriously, it seems a little disturbing to sit on something that has its mouth open, even if it's a cartoon.   https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33007757783.html Guess what this is for, because it looks really disturbing at first glance! (Also lol two of the images are screenshots of ali reviews)  It's a mat for your dog, you put treats in the little pouches https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002280711384.html I know these are for arts & crafts, but I love the idea of taking this to a knife fight.  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001298536036.html

Here’s some stuff I bought recently. If anything looks interesting, search for it again to see if there’s a better store for a similar product. Sometimes I give up trying to find the best one when it’s something generic. This store has a bunch of messenger bag hardware: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrlMe0T I got some fittings and 10 yards of webbing and it’s good quality. I was expecting cheap, stuff and was pleasantly surprised.  US $8.18 38％ Off | Black Plastic Gold Pan Basin Nugget Mining Dredging Prospecting for Sand Gold Mining Manual Wash Gold Panning Equipment https://a.aliexpress.com/_msfSpsr I think my nieces are going to love gold panning this summer. Also built pretty solid. There’s other accessories and tools available, but this is just for fun.  US $2.28 | Japan Wrap the cloth cotton linen furoshiki / Japan classic tradition style wave printed /Many Uses https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNeqibt I got a random few different types from this seller but couldn’t tell which are the better quality ones when they arrived.  US $11.75 20％ Off | TON09 6-Inch 150mm Stainless Steel Electronic Digital Vernier Caliper Metal Micrometer Measuring https://a.aliexpress.com/_msskpB5 Doesn’t include a battery. Feels solid and the action is tight.  US $13.43 36％ Off | Hongdian Black Forest Metal Fountain Pen Black/Golden EF/F/Bent Beautiful Tree Texture Excellent Writing Business Office Pen https://a.aliexpress.com/_mND1UIR Someone on here recommended this fountain pen and I can agree. It looks modern, writes well and feels good in the hand.
