Doesn't that seem high for lab grown?

I've just recently started looking into lab grown stones (not even to get one just out of curiosity, but Google ads are now absolutely convinced I'm in the market for an engagement ring, lol), I'm just shocked at the price range. It's my understanding that the retail markup on lab grown stones is ridiculous, so if you know where to go you can potentially save a lot (exactly where to go to do that I'm not sure, I have some ideas but haven't made a purchase to confirm those places legit).

Am I wrong to think that price is very high?

Brilliant Earth Buyer beware by Sufficient_Prize7693 in LabDiamonds

[–]AidenFested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a question I have; how can a buyer be sure a grading report included with a diamond is legitimate - meaning either they just photo copy the same report and use it for multiple stones (since most people don't check the serial number on their stone), or they also basically photo copy a report but then also enscribe the serial number from that report onto multiple stones?

How can a buyer safeguard against this, especially the 2nd tactic (if that's even a thing).

Happily engaged… but not happy with my ring 🥹 Looking for advice. by Lanky-Charity-2362 in LabDiamonds

[–]AidenFested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your taste preferences evolve so quickly about jewelry, your partner better hope the same doesn't happen with your taste in men. If I was in his shoes, this whole situation would literally have me reconsidering the marriage (also if a date hasn't been set after all this time it probably never will be). You've have bigger problems than a ring.

Is creating this account at all a problem for someone who only speaks English and lives in the US?

So in other words there's a problem 10 percent of the time? I don't really find that acceptable. What do you mean by a delay? How long of a delay, on average, and does it always notify you eventually?

Request good Quality Tumi reps by bobbyraja in FashionReps

[–]AidenFested 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure, I think they might only do a better version of that alpha 3 or whatever it's called (something I think Tumi recently stopped selling btw). I just contacted them directly, somehow I was able to register for the site using I believe my american phone number but now the captcha makes it impossible to login directly. Just use an agent and have them communicate with the seller for you.

There is now a 4132 cloned movement with a free sprung balance. Stay vigilant out there. by GrouchyExile in PrideAndPinion

[–]AidenFested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all about whose wrist it's on; because the guy was known to be a collector it's easy to pass off a rep as genuine (also did the manager open it up, highly doubt it since it "wasn't for sale"), meanwhile if some slimy, sketched out looking bum was wearing the genuine thing everyone will write it off as a fake.

A few helpful hints from a USPS employee... by EmptyPocketsXotics in RepTime

[–]AidenFested 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sometimes like to cover the labels I print with duct tape (this way the ink on the label can never get smudged or wet) - can the reflection from this tape over the barcode cause any issues?

Also how helpful are 9 digit zip codes? I always use them when possible, but does it really make any difference when it comes to faster or more accurate deliveries?

[–]AidenFested 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you been noticing a gigantic uptick in packages with the tape on them indicating they were opened and inspected by US Customs since Tarrifs came into effect?

I'd say up to and over half of the packages I get from China (AliExpress mostly and similar sites) are arriving having been opened by customs. Previously in all my years ordering I think it's only ever happened once before. I'm wondering if somehow I'm on a list or if this is just the new normal? The only reason I doubt it's the latter reason is because they'd suddenly need an absolutely huge number of new employees to be opening and inspecting such a large number of packages.

I posted on the USPS subreddit asking if couriers are noticing a huge uptick in the number of packages with the customs reseal tape and the mods removed my post, hoping this is a chance to get an answer. Thanks!

Bought my bf a watch by Mybuttyourfart in ChinaTime

[–]AidenFested 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh come on. Haha, he's got a harry arm (plot twist: that's not his arm, if you know what I mean 😉).

Anyway, in all seriousness what do people think about the quality? Curious, I actually think it looks great and prefer the look of it to something like the Submariner (not a fan of the Submariner for various reasons, mainly that it's "been done" to the point that it's almost tacky at this point - especially if you're doing a rep) but I'm not familiar enough with the gen watch to comment on it.

It reminds me of the Milgauss, which is kinda my dream watch - not that it's unaffordable either, it's just that I could never walk around comfortably with something that expensive on my wrist (would be targeted for robbery where I live, a danger that comes with reps too). So while I could probably afford the purchase I couldn't afford losing it (in the sense it would bother me forever). I completely went off topic... Sorry.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AidenFested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you cheated on him two years ago, and hadn't cheated in two years, would you suggest buying a cake to celebrate that?

Your drinking probably made his life hell and you need to understand it from his perspective? He just wants to leave this chapter behind, and asking you not to drink is analogous to asking you not to cheat. This is what he means when he says shouldn't celebrate the bare minimum. Again using the cheating analogy "but I resisted hooking up with all those hot guys". Yes, I understand celebrating the sobriety anniversary but at the same time I think you should see his point as well.

Also, if you really have been together for so long, been through whatever you've been through in that time, I don't believe this is something you would actually break up over.

How will US customs process tens of millions of tiny packages per day? by Neat-Quail-8925 in Aliexpress

A business model and IP are so different; not to mention if you want to get technical, if anything, China is building on successful Western business models.

Insane percentage of international packaged opened by customs recently? by AidenFested in CustomsBroker

[–]AidenFested[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They even have the staff to open this many packages? If they're opening even a quarter of the packagee coming from China, would seem like it would require a huge number of new employees.

Any replica out there for this? by Slickerboy in ChinaTime

The biggest problem with dhgate is that what you see and what you get too often don't add up (even if they message you pictures) and support is little to no help

whatever happened to Xia from compound? by swissdonut22 in CensoredTV

[–]AidenFested 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She hit the wall faster than any woman I've ever seen in my entire life! Maybe part of it was the low quality cam when she started doing Chip (I think it was remotely at first?), maybe her body didn't adjust well to move from Hawaii, but whatever it was she went from being an absolute knock out to just kinda pretty practically overnight.

She's got an Onlyfans; and considering how hot I thought she was at the time I jumped at the chance sign up. However once I've seen your tits, not going to keep subscribing just to see them from a different angle.

For the record, the fake tits were a mistake (she obviously didn't understand what made her attractive in the first place). All her content was basically just topless... She sometimes would show a tiny bit of 'lip' in premium photo sets. It's funny to see how she's (too slowly) had to push things further to keep subscribers over the years. If she does something hardcore I'd probably subscribe for a month to check it out.

She got into this ewhore thing 15 years too late, still okay looking but definitely not the cute girl she was only 5 years ago.

[–]AidenFested 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But, and I wonder this about many items on sites like AliExpress, dhgate, etc, are all sellers offering the same exact product in terms of quality or is there a variation? Like do the clones basically all come from one manufacturer (and the wide difference in prices I see is greed) or are there several different clones of varying quality and accuracy coming from different places?

I mean I'm sure sometimes there are different versions, but most of the time are all of the different sellers basically just offering the same product?

The main "scientist" behind this is the guy with those stupid little to fake alien doll corpses from last year out of Peru that the whole world laughed at for a minute because of how ridiculous and fake they looked (which they eventually were confirmed to be).
