I ordered 3 items from same seller, they shipped and haven’t arrived after like 60-70 days at this point. Just shows nothing once hit America apparently 40 days ago. Disputed, Ali refunded one the other two they keep giving a count down of X days and says will make a decision, time comes Ali marks it as invalid and says still in transit, now it just reset again 10 MORE DAYS. WTF? Only

Hilarious as this is, I gotta wonder if it's Amazon product description hacking, but instead of using it to hijack positive reviews, it's a competitor using it to screw with a seller's listings.

Either way, Amazon appears to give no fucks.

I'm in Australia and some stuff I ordered in early July just showed up via the UAE, lol. The shipping showed as arriving in 'my country' back in August but I think that must've been when it was delivered to the drop-shipping company in UAE.

I guess the bottom has fallen out of the cheap shipping market and we're back to only ordering stuff if there's absolutely no urgency I in when it arrives.

You should contact the seller but they'll probably just tell you that your stuff is in transit and out of their hands.

I'm in Western Australia and shipping is faster than ever. Recently I had an item arrive in one week. That's a new record for me!

Two weeks is average at the moment though.

Isn't this because the UN or whoever decided to revoke the postage subsidies China used to have

I suspect that a lot of their advantage in the market was due to the fact that you could get almost anything shipped from China for very little. I also suspect that a lot of sellers found their sales going down once shipping had to be paid at closer to market rates hence why there are a lot of sellers using fake postage to send stuff.

I had been getting pretty consistent delivery times of 2 weeks earlier this year until this most recent one took ~8 weeks and it's made me hesitant to order anything else because I just don't want to have to wait that long to get stuff.

I thought maybe the original lister was mad about copycats using their listing to sell the same product by underbidding them. So they change the listing out of spite.

So I'm looking at making my first order on Ali, and I have a couple of questions:

First, this thing I want to buy is offering free shipping, but it's untracked. Is this fine, out should I pay for tracking? To be fair, it's only like $3, though.

Second, why does it only give me a "buy now" option instead of an add to cart? Or is that just the Ali version of "add to cart"?

Some products/deals are only buy now, its not the same as add to cart it's buy this single item

I wouldn't pay more for tracking personally

So what's the right thing to do when stuff doesn't show up? I've had a package that says it's shipped and in the US but USPS says it's waiting for it to arrive from the shipping partner. That was back on 8/31 and we passed the expected delivery date on 9/17. Sounds like I might need to keep waiting from others experiences. Does contacting the seller get anywhere?

This has got to be a tariff thing. Maybe bras have a lower tariff than Moto gloves and if you’re in the know you clip the string?

Does anyone have experience with the Bluedio headphones (and possibly other brands as well) that also take a microSD card of MP3s? I'm trying to figure out if it only plays the card in album (alphabetical, whatever) order or if the songs can be shuffled.

I have 'LOBKIN' headphones that take a microsd card (it calls it a TF card for some reason?) and it plays them in the order it sees them on the filesystem, there's no shuffle. The only navigation controls are by file, too, you can't skip ahead a whole album. Also it defaults to playing them at max volume.

Having albums and fm radio built right into the headphones is still very nice for putzing around the apartment. Sound is passable and they have held up a few years with only one bit of tape holding together some cracked plastic on the band

Oh also Im a nerd who uses flac instead of mp3 and it plays my files without complaint

Because I travel next week I ordered a power bank. I ordered at what is essentially a local variant of Amazon through a vendor advertising there. The power bank arrived, the box is open, and it has scuff marks. If I don't manage to get a replacement in time, can figure out if this is safe to use?
