My mechanic laughed me out the shop when I said I needed blinker and headlight fluid. Can't wait to show that bastard. Finally, I will be the one laughing. Me. At him. edit: Ok, I went to check out the tracking number for my ear buds using 17track just out of curiosity and saw this:  17track says this package kept traveling though and went from California to one state above me (I live in the Southeastern US) then to my state and then BACK to one state away and back here. So there's all kindsa shenanigans a-happenin' if this package of ear buds actually exists. Unperson_47 fucked around with this message at 10:06 on May 24, 2022 |

A while ago I ordered gloves, and received them in less than two weeks! Not sure what was going on there, had to double-check if it really was delivered from China.

Is there other local buyer service website that's reliable? Also, is this guide missing a step? Where is the actual shopping link? I find the model code and the chinese price of the bootleg shoes and then what? Where is the actual shopping link? Am I supposed to search the model code on taobao?

I can't speak for things from ali specifically, but in my experience of working with shippers they were probably reusing the label or postage info on a bunch of packages. You think they'd have an automatic flag for "wait this thing was already delivered don't let it scan again" but no.

I'm not sure about this either, sometimes there's a taobao link right on the page like here: https://158sir.x.yupoo.com/albums/96109828?uid=1 then you can paste that link. If there isn't a link, I'm not yet sure if you're supposed to try to contact the seller yourself, or just send the link to the agent and they would figure it out. evobatman posted:Is there an English or AliExpress link?

Added enough credit to the account with the credit card. Then paid off the first order.

I bought mine from what looked like a reputable seller the first week of April and there was a flurry of activity the second day, then complete radio silence for a month and a half:  Everything I've ordered since then has arrived, but not the drat earbuds. Weirdly, I got a text from Fedex yesterday out of the blue saying they needed me to email them my last name for customs pre-clearance on a set of earbuds (the address was a legit FedEx domain, so pretty sure not a scam, dunno what anyone would be able to do with my surname anyways). I obliged and got a curt "received" from the address, so here's to hoping they show up in the next few weeks.

Ethics_Gradient posted:Did you get those AirPod style ones that were posted back in the thread a couple months ago? Yeah, I bought mine from a seller named "CCC Digital Global Store." Also, the bad thing I just noticed about submitting a dispute using the interactive chat is that I was not able to attach screenshots of the tracking info as evidence so I don't know how that will affect my dispute.

Does that message I get about the package being seized for counterfait postage mean that my package was in a group shipment of other shipments which just so happened to include fake Forever stamps or whatever so the entire box got held or does it mean that the postage affixed to the package itself was counterfeit and/or reused. Could be all of the above, I guess. I'm just curious is all.

A bit of a gamble with the size and quality but the reviews seem decent athere are none real ones in stock in the country so worth a shot imo. Ordered throught CSSBuy as above.

In February I ordered Pokémon cards and a Pokémon card album for my nephews birthday in April, cards arrived in two weeks and were excellent - I ordered the “Sun and Moon” option and it’s like a booster box so he got to open lots of packets, sort, and talk endlessly about all his new cards for weeks. The album never arrived. The seller extended the confirmation period which finally ran out this week, lodged a request for a refund and seller declines as “package is in the country. please contact your postal service - Australia Post” and included the website and phone number. I didn’t do that because I know from past experience they have no tracking on cheap Chinese parcels, I did stick the number in their online tracking but it comes back “we can’t track this” as expected. Back to seller “they said they cannot track that parcel”, request refund seller declines again, I request again and today Ali stepped in to approve the refund. On a more positive note the nostalgia piece I ordered last month arrived today and I love it. I’ve been flipping it for hours and working out the best way to do it to make the sand fall slow/constant. They included a syringe which I’m assuming is to add air or remove liquid to balance that out, no instructions came with it but it was well packaged in foam. I saw there is some videos around about adding water, adjusting flow so I might watch them on the weekend and fine tune it. I get the feeling a little more air would be good as it’s not easy to get it to go slowly like in the second pic.

100% fake. I don’t have any actual Pokémon card experience to compare them to but as cards in general go they were fine. The cards had a decent gloss, not raw cardboard feel. The colours looked good and there were some shiny cards in the packs. The text was in english and I saw a few I definitely knew were real Pokémon - going by the little nephew I assume they were all actual pokemons.

you can get some amazing fake cards on aliexpress. i've gotten a few that apart from being slipperier are fairly indistinguishable from real cards. then you can get run-of-the-mill fakes, with slightly off colours and worse quality. or replica fanmade art ones, though it's hard to find search strings for those and they're kinda overpriced. then you can get the truly amazing cards, i got some chinese language ones that are smaller than regular cards, use very strange art (a mix of fanart, including a big titty gardevoir, and anime screenshots), and have insane amounts of health i cbf pulling them out and getting my own photos, but they're pretty much like these ones i found on google:  i checked my past orders and the store i got them from shut down, but i assume you can still find them on ali somewhere

Just FYI people one thing you do not want to try to save money on is US stamps or defrauding the postal service. I'd steer you more towards drugs and guns to mess your life up less. They do not F around.

(For years I wondered what the gently caress wire fraud actually was, and turns out it's literally almost anything the prosecutor wants it to be.)

Anyone have any recommendations for fashion watches? Like, are there any brands I should be searching for in particular? I’m not looking for Rolex copies, just like funky watches that work, and that I can wear without worrying about because it’s from AliExpress. I just searched for men’s watches and felt a bit lost.

I received some stuff in 9 days (ordered on the 16th, arrived yesterday) using the super cheap shipping. I'm pretty sure the shipping volumes to Russia are way down, so all the shippers are able to get poo poo out to other countries easier. It arrived along with something that was at the 4 week mark so... Could just be random chance

You just keep declining the sellers "offers" until AliExpress steps in and gives you a refund.

Oddly enough, I've done a few refunds, and the only one I lost was just like this. Ordered a replacement battery for my hand-held radio, and after 4 months of waiting it was delivered.. to a town about 600km away. Did the same back-and-forth and showed that the tracking number doesn't work on local post tracking, but in the end AX said "Package is in your country, so your local post messed up, not us." and closed the dispute. Goodbye 12 Euro  [edit] Tried to look up the details on this, but it seems the messages for this dispute were deleted at some point. I can see when I opened the dispute (Mar. 12 2021), and when it was updated/closed (Mar. 20 2021), but the actual messages are missing.

Just paste that link into CSSBuy or Sugaroo or whatever and they'll buy it for you.
