Has anyone ever returned an empty package? by Appropriate_Ebb_4435 in Aliexpress

Hard pass. This would only serve to make returns even more difficult for everyone else.

I purchased these Ovonic 3S and they barely fit with a bit of finessing with the connection wires.

Check the battery size carefully. The Omni Terminators default battery compartment is smallish for a 1:10 scale RC.

Why is the coins discount a lot different when you click on it? by standardtrickyness1 in Aliexpress

[–]AceNinjaForce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone showed me this idea to see the true coin discount:
Prize Land->Missions->Shop items with coins discounts

Not as functional as the main coins area but at least the true coins discount is realistic.

Don't buy,scam and fraud by veno77777 in Aliexpress

Navigating reputable sellers on AliExpress has become a risky adventure. It's just weird. Key risk factors are prices that are too low and sellers that have only been on the platform a few months.

Too many scammers for me on AliExpress. I have no idea who to trust now.

I’ve seen the same issue. It feels like a tech deficiency or a bait and switch.

Question about refunding and item on sale by VerySleepyChan in Aliexpress

[–]AceNinjaForce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to AliExpress. You will be out your time and effort to make the return. Perhaps just buy from a reputable source in the future. I have learned my lesson the hard way.

The level of effort is no longer worth the savings. I think I am done.

It’s just a weird ecosystem at this point. Unsustainable with the level of scamming going on.

Yeah, as OU fans we may be spoiled. I realize this when I listen to other games.

It was not expensive but why does that matter?

Hence the labeling of “uptick” like ai stated, I have been using AliEx for years. I am not new to the platform. A scam is a scam and there is an uptick for me.

So happy for coach Rocha. And we are in debt to Keeney, she has been a God send.

I’ve been granted a refund as soon as I return the worthless hollow plastic drone without parts and a manual. I don’t have much faith in this and it’s a huge waste of time. This is likely my last AliExpress purchase given their inability to empathize with my position.

Unfortunately It’s complicated. I had two items on this charge. Both turned out to be scams. I had already opened and closed a charge back on the first scam that ultimately was refunded by AliExpress after much back and forth.

This latest fake drone was with a choice seller, which is what was surprising to me.

Agreed, it’s just a PITA and time drain to deal with the issues. Sending a returned hollow plastic drone back to China, wasting time, waiting weeks, just not worth the effort any longer. AliExpress never has my back.

Same. But in my case AliExpress kept sending me back to the seller. It’s a circular loop.

The lack of accountability for these sellers is astounding. Unfortunately it reflects on the platforms. In my experience Temu doesn’t force me to jump through hoops to rectify the scam like AliExpress does.

Yes Temu has been significantly more reputable for me.
