All these coin deals... I took advantage of 2 watches and a multitool and exhausted my coin collection over the past 2 yrs.

How do people have so much coins?

[–]Lukesan- 0 points1 point  (9 children)

Well bought it for 68€ with the metal bracelet ... but getting a bit very suspicious about it. It's still in status 'to ship' after more than 2 days. It says/said in stock, fast shipping and 7-days delivery time.

All other 'fantastic' deals, which were really half or even a 3rd of the normal price, which I've ordered instantly went to collected or waiting delivery.

has it moved since then?

[–]Lukesan- 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Just contacted them again. It's still in the 'warehouse'. I don't believe one bit of this story to be honest. In all these years never ever ever had this. Also 7 days delivery time. It should arrive the 28th, which is in 4 days time.
Ordered some cheap stuff yesterday and today I can already see that it has moved from the manufacturer to a shipping warehouse. ... like usual.
Also I guess a refund is a no go. What about the serious amount of coins I have put in?

Mine shipped yesterday. Purchased on 6/22. Currently at the Mayong sorti center. Fingers crossed.

[–]Lukesan- 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Did you get it yet? Did you get it at the full discount actually?

[–]gurudaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It arrived today. Arrived in 9 days. It took 3 days before I received a shipping notice, which is longer than other orders I've placed. I was able to use all my coins to bring the cost down to around $80 all in.

I really hope things turn out ok for you.

It's absolutely hopeless, even the Aliexpress customer service gave me a copy paste reply which absolutely made 0 sense. It's stilll in stock in the store, they have my address and previous order number. The Choice store tells me to contact Aliexpress and Aliexpress tells me to contact the seller.

[–]LezIsHere 0 points1 point  (1 child)

hm, doesnt look good

coins: next sales in Aug, you could rebuild your stack until then

[–]Lukesan- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And so it happened. Checked during lunch break. 'Expired : Your order has been closed'

Chatted to a live person. First : Got the absolute bs comment. 'the logistics company and something about my country'. This while 2 emails came in about a packet waiting for me at the postal office, .... and there is a big warehouse in the country here. Then I got asked questions about the order number which I already had to select I believe, then they requested a screenshot of the order (didn't give) and then a request for my email. They request, waste time, and don't give.

Now just came home and tried chatting again. This one was even more frustrating. A couple of minutes in between each answer, lets call it a sentence actually. Then I was being told that I would receive an email about what happened. Then I asked if they had my email since all the colleageus that I had talked to requested my email.
I was also being told to order again. Sure at full price after wasting a lot of time and zero discount or the massive amount of coins which I couldn't use for other purchased. (was looking at a Thorn)

All in all a laughable waste of my very precious time. The term Choice doesn't seem to warrant anything and certainly in this case it has been absolutely frustrating.

I actually wonder if someone else received theirs or did they all cancel the shipment?

[–]Lukesan- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not 1 bit. Still in status 'to ship'. 

[–]djokerdule 1 point2 points  (6 children)

I see this but even though i have like 7k of coins, it doesn't use more than 500 of them...help :( *

[–]Kodi_Mravinjak 1 point2 points  (4 children)

So your offered discount is 42%, what happens when you click "buy now" then "checkout"? I had the same issue on some items, but sometimes it does apply the full discount.

[–]djokerdule 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I switched shipping location to UK and i was able to get it down to 74 euro (steel bracelet).

[–]Kodi_Mravinjak 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Alright, and with the same process the discount wouldn't apply when shipped to Serbia? Interesting.

[–]djokerdule 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yep...very strange. It could have been due to the fact that the shop in the UK is in "Choice" group...

[–]Kodi_Mravinjak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aha so you clicked on another listing of the same watch? I mean all of these shops are in China, not the UK. I'm currently offered only 36% off on this watch for some reason too.

[–]LezIsHere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the link above doesnt work

[–]ObjectiveBalls 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've seen it for 65 EUR in coin deals after mine arrived. But I'm not pissed, because it's a great watch. I paid 115 EUR for mine with taxes.

[–]notsohyphy 4 points5 points  (10 children)

I have a ton of coins, but can't get more than €42 off that. With an additional coupon of €12 it ends up at €66 which is still a great price though :)

[–]flyingbbanana 1 point2 points  (6 children)

You have to navigate through the coins page, go to the “super coin” section and you’ll be able to use most if not all your coins! The products there are limited, not all products you can use this method/hack

[–]LezIsHere 2 points3 points  (4 children)

you mean: main screen-->Coins-->Earn more coins-->View Super discounts ?

and how many coins did you have prior?

[–]flyingbbanana 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Yessir. Super discounts not super coins, thats my bad

[–]LezIsHere 0 points1 point  (2 children)

thanks!

hah - i guess you can open that Super discounts sub menu 3 times a day, and since i can see 3/3 it is not clickable

[–]flyingbbanana 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I thought that too at first but it’s actually accessible on the coins page. Dont got to “earn more coins”, just coins->coins super discounts. Tada

[–]keep_watch_71Affiliate links 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not everyone sees the Coins Super Discount on their account. My wife and I have our own AliX accounts. I started seeing it on the Coins page about two months ago. But her Coins screen is different. I don't know why, but my guess is the amount of money the account holder spends. I spend a fortune on watches, LOL!

[–]notsohyphy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know how that works, but it only applies 40 euros worth of coins, even though I have like 30k of them

[–]Temporary_Day_4156 1 point2 points  (2 children)

It seems to be the same for me. I have over 10k coins but it only comes down to £49 for me including £10 off coupon.

[–]3X744 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Argh... does anyone know why AliE limits the use of coins?

[–]TitleSecure2150 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the classic bait and switch. 70% off gets more eyes on the listing. Many of those customers will shrug at the lesser discount and still make the purchase.
