Do combined shipping items get the same tracking number on ali? I can't tell if the thing I got in the same package as something I ordered is just a random thing that got packed in by mistake, or if I've been shipped the wrong thing — I ordered a laptop stand, and this package has what I assume is some sort of cellphone holder.

The other thing in the bag was correct, but looking on ali they've got two different tracking orders (and also both unhelpfully say they're at usps).

Now buy a bucket of aliexpress fake blood along with some eyeglasses with thick plastic frames and very strong prescription lenses to complete the look.

Got a link for that one? Years back I got a very decent Penguins throwback jersey (pale blue, all stitching) and then got a modern jersey that ended up just being printed on number and name. I’ve been wary every since.

You plug one end into the outlet, and the other end is now bare electrified metal.

They are used for two "applications"

1: dumb people string their holiday lights the wrong direction. They use this adapter to be lazy. The bare plug on the other end of the light string is now hot.


2: to plug a generator into a home power socket, to backfeed into house wiring to power things in the event of a service outage.
If the house main panel is not properly isolated, it can backfeed into the grid and threaten the lives of lone workers who think a section of power wiring is safe.
And even if "oh i flipped my main breaker", ground leakage can cause the same problem.

Do not use these.

I had an ex who moved into an apartment that did not have a kitchen (there wasn't even a place for pipes coming out of the wall) and whenever you flushed the toilet, the lights would flicker. Super cool stuff! Very legal and up to code.

I bought Scrub Daddy knock offs and they suck. They're just sponges. They're not like Scrub Daddy at all what a bummer. But hey it was only $3.84. I should have expected as much.

what i'd really love if aliexpress had a replacement for is a pot scraper. i dunno how to get another one of these, the one i got was a hand-me-down from like my grandma's kitchen stuff when she died. but it's a piece of plastic, roughly the side of a credit card, with slightly curved sides coming to an edge. it's just the best at scraping off absolutely blackened/caked on poo poo when you've hosed up or done something absolutely hardcore, and i keep looking at various kitchen/cleaning supply places and no one seems to make that kind of poo poo any more.

I've definitely bought those from Ali before. Mine were shaped like birds and the beak part is great for getting into nooks

The plastic is hard and very scrubby with cold water then softens up under warm water for less scrubbiness

So I managed to get Australia Post to send me an email saying "we never received item with tracking number XYZ from AliExpress-Cainao".

The guy I ended up talking to said he had no way of knowing if it was true or not, but was happy to help.

The seller refused to refund even with that "evidence", so I went to customer service as all my appeal options had already been burned. They told me they'll be banning the seller from the platform I'm the next 48 hours as he was required to refund in the event I have proof of non-delivery.

It's still unclear if I'll get my $3 back.

By the way, this is their guide for evidence of non-delivery. A helpful service agent supplied me with the document. You may wish to use it as an example when explaining to your postal carrier what you need.

I bought a couple of nerdy tshirts. I picked the largest size because ali sizing isn’t made for fat white guys and they actually seem to be 6x which is really huge.
