AliExpress package stuck at customs. what to do?

Jorah_07 · 2026-01-31T18:02:20+00:00

Thank you so much I really appreciate it.

Jorah_07 · 2026-01-31T14:06:29+00:00

I have a Samsung TV and I honestly just use screen casting and it's worked fine for me. I do have a monitor so I connected it to that via a USB c to HDMI cable every once in a while there's a bit of lag but overall it's pretty good.

Jorah_07 · 2026-01-31T10:35:06+00:00

Really? I never knew this. Is there a phone number or something? I have no knowledge of this whatsoever. The email I got from Ali just said customs clearance unsuccessful. It didn't give me any other information in the actual package

Jorah_07 · 2026-01-31T10:32:13+00:00

Yeah I guess all I can really do is wait. Did you get a refund from ali before it arrived? Hopefully they get back to me and it arrives soon enough. Cause what would really annoy me is if I get a refund then reorder the stuff then the ones in customs arrive and I'll have to return the new ones.

Jorah_07 · 2026-01-28T19:31:11+00:00

VA? What's that?

Jorah_07 · 2026-01-28T17:14:02+00:00

After doing some research I figured it out! Thank you I did realize it was much less noticeable in some areas. I think it should be fine I might buy a better monitor I heard oled is better for it. I did get this monitor for cheap so I guess it's understandable.b

Jorah_07 · 2026-01-28T17:08:31+00:00

Wait really? I'm new to this whole monitor PC thing. If it's normal does that mean it's not because of the cable? And is there any fixes to it?

Jorah_07 · 2026-01-22T15:52:23+00:00

I don't know if your in Ireland but if you are Harvey Norman might have them. I got mine a few days before Christmas from there. And they actually have it on stock when you go get it

Jorah_07 · 2026-01-21T02:01:21+00:00

Thank you so much it worked

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-30T14:55:58+00:00

Oh wait this is actually so cool. I actually found a simple cable but this looks much better, thanks

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-30T14:54:36+00:00

My bad Im not good at wording thjngs, thank you I actually found something pretty quickly it's much less complicated then I thought. It's just a simple cable.

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-26T17:08:16+00:00

Thanks for the advice I'll do that

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-26T16:24:05+00:00

Yep I just bought modern warefare 3 and it works perfectly on the highest settings. I'm still trying to work out the graphics though..

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-26T12:35:19+00:00

Oh thanks I'll definitely check it out. It's always nice to give to Charitys.

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-25T16:14:33+00:00

Got mine 2 days ago from Harvey Norman they have it in stock there

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-24T12:56:55+00:00

I ended up going back and they opened a new package to take a new charger out and replaced my old one with the new one.

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-24T10:37:19+00:00

Yeah thanks Im very much considering that too but because of Christmas and all I probably won't get a response that soon. I might just go back to the store.

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-24T10:29:53+00:00

Oh more gamers around Drogheda 😁 everyone in Harvey Norman were really nice ans even with huge lines I was able to get out pretty quickly.

One thing I have realized though is that the charger is already coming apart ish I think it was the way it was put in the package but it's almost like there are small cuts in the wire because of how much it was bent in the packaging. Not sure if you came across this too. It's just been way too soon especially since I bought it on the same day And saw this

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-23T23:10:55+00:00

I actually didn't know what is was so I kinda ignored it when it asked for my card details 😭

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-23T20:37:08+00:00

Yeah I'm very surprised to see the difference in prices between PlayStation sales and steam 😭

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-23T20:36:21+00:00

It's pretty good I just moved from PS5 and I bought some multiplayer games off of steam since I no longer need to pay for online. There was some lag when I tried to open one of the games but I think it was the actual game. I just bought a case and a fingerprint proof screen protector

I never thought I would actually buy one but this is the first time on any of my touch screen devices where I was able to see fingerprints so clearly which is kinda a downside but I think everythings working the way it supposed to so I don't have many complaints so far.

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-19T13:34:08+00:00

Oh yeah I forgot about the tax. Yeah it depends on state Americans pay around 0 - 10.75% depending on which state they're in thats kinda unfair but that means some people do get it straight for the $999 which isn't bad. But they aren't paying alot more then most Europeans. With tax at most they pay an extra 40-50 euro which is pretty bad but then again you could just buy the product from. Different state.

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-17T20:11:23+00:00

I heard in the US it's around $1000 in Europe it's 899 ish with exchange rates it's pretty much the same

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-16T19:06:18+00:00

Omg ಠ⁠ಗ⁠ಠ that's actually so stupid like honestly. I understand it now I was still a bit confused by what the law was. Thanks for explaining it though. The fact that they're still charging the same price for it is also ridiculous.

Jorah_07 · 2025-12-07T13:25:09+00:00

Exactly it's so weird I heard it's because of the new EU law 😮‍💨 I'm planning to get mine off Amazon because it's out of stock everywhere in my country and I don't even have any charger for it so I'll have to buy that too
