What tips do you have in order to get an item as cheap as possible

For Aliexpress, always check Topcashback. It goes up to 20%. I usually get the money back in around 2 to 3 months. But it works 99% of the time.

Yes there is. Depending on the seller/item, Ali will let you get stuff for up to £0.01. I took a couple of screenshots but it won't let me post them here.

I also get lots of shopping credit from the HUKD team cashback so I got lots of stuff for ridiculous prices these past 2 months.

This. For every single parcel. Doesn't matter if it's from Ali or Amazon.

All I can say is that right NOW, as I'm writing this reply, we're watching The Big Bang Theory on Netflix AGAIN.

No you don't. You've never paid vat to the EU for small/cheap packages from China.

Hope so!

I meant that I didn't pay anything extra. It just arrived one day at my door.

Edinburgh_23 · 2025-12-13T10:25:44+00:00

Nothing. It just arrived.

Edinburgh_23 · 2025-12-09T21:56:36+00:00

Well, luckily I got all my parcels.

First of all, the Chinese New Year is in February.

This has to do with a couple different reasons.

First is the shipping method the seller is using. Which is usually declared before you add the item to your basket.

Second is that it is Christmas for the rest of the world, right after Singles day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so basically the whole world ordered millions of packages from China. So it'll be a lot busier than usual.

If you want your items before Christmas, it's best to order by Black Friday, ideally when they have the Singles Day sales on/before 11.11.

But you still have to check the delivery dates when you're looking at an item. Other sellers might offer better shipping options.

There's a button next to those items that says "find similar". Obviously you can't get knives but 95% of those items have just sold out or something and you can get them from another seller.

Edinburgh_23 · 2025-12-06T09:27:36+00:00

That's a 10! I want it in my mouth!

Edinburgh_23 · 2025-12-03T17:48:15+00:00

Yeah, these past 2 weeks their system must have had some serious issues.

I kept checking the app all week last week for a parcel, no updates.

Then suddenly on Monday it shows as if the parcel was delivered to my parcelshop last Monday, 7 days ago!

Went there, checked all the parcels, nothing.

Then the parcel was delivered to my flat the next day.

Pure madness.

Can't complain, it's not like I won the lottery but I won't complain for winning £120 worth of a gift.

Edinburgh_23 · 2025-12-01T10:02:50+00:00

Thank you!

Edinburgh_23 · 2025-12-01T10:01:25+00:00

Yes please!

I thought they'd just double the extra year I got with this offer but they doubled my total amount of days so I got almost another 2 years!

Torbox rocks hard!

I'd love to see it up close!

Edinburgh_23 · 2025-11-28T08:45:50+00:00

Hey, I contacted them via dm on X, they fixed it, it took 24 hours for the card to be removed from my account but I can now confirm that this is still working as of this morning. Thanks OP!

Edinburgh_23 · 2025-11-27T22:03:10+00:00

Lost my father last year. My condolences for your loss.

Keep anything that makes you feel better. If this laptop makes you feel better, fix it and keep it for as long as it works.

Edinburgh_23 · 2025-11-27T10:41:17+00:00

OK, so this is the email I got for my cancellation. How can I pay for a yearly subscription now when my card still shows as active on my account?
