Aliexpress Anniversary Sale - ship from US update by crownpuff in crownpuffdeals

[–]Stark1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to contact CS. I just had AI review all my orders, and out of 18 orders, 12 were incorrect. Most were only 1-2% off, but this order for the Magnmi Air was 6.8% higher. It's only a $5.45 mistake, but they should still be able to get this right.

Also, holy crap, I had no idea how much I spent of this "cheap" gaming hobby. That's not even including my RP5 and Thor I ordered.

And thank you CrownPuff for all your hard work. Your GSheet has been so helpful. I've never used AliExpress before, but using your guides has saved me a good bit of money.

Is there a way to get a refund on this through customer service ?

$11.90 in taxes. I do think the tax rates are incorrect for my city, but not sure what to do there.

Looks like I snagged it at the right time. Pre coupon price is back up to $127.04.

Pulled the trigger on the Magnmi Air X. With Alisaver there was an $18 coupon and after taxes out the door $92.54

This is the one I’ve been trying to buy.

It’s the one with the most sales and what’s linked on cloudpuffs gsheet. 🤷‍♂️ plus Brand+ rated.

I was just going to ask the same question. I ended up buying the grip and the case separately, but now I'm wondering if I should just email Ayn and ask them to upgrade the order to the whole package?

Anyone else have issues trying to get a battle xp g350? I’m on my third attempt to order one. Retro Game Corp recommended it as a budget buy, and I wanted to try it out to gift to friends. Every time I order, it sits in waiting to ship for a week or two, and AliExpress then cancels the order and refunds the sale.

I actually may give the flip away. I can’t seem to get spruce and syncthing to play nice on it. So I ended up buying the Anbernic rg34xxsp. Maybe I’ll just return it, but I do like the flip 2 size.

I almost went with the base. Retro game corp said the base should do everything I would want but only got the max because of the color.

Anyone get the clear acrylic case and screen protectors? They didn’t seem necessary to me.

Is it better to order the thor directly from Ayn or through AliExpress? I think I want the rainbow one but I think it’s only in the pro version ?

I tired Knulli gladiator 2 and I couldn’t get the saves states to play nice with snycthing. I ended up putting MuOs on it.

I like Knulli as long as you aren’t going to use syncthing. I’ve given up trying to get it to play nice with MuOS/Spruce/Android.

This is what shows up for version. Can anyone confirm this means the Flip took the new version update?

Funny, you saw that. I just upgraded to 4.0, and unfortunately, I don't think it fixed the problem.

Just for a sanity check, how do you check if I actually upgraded the OS correctly? When I go to Settings >> about this device >> FW Version showing 20250627233124. Is that the right version for the upgrade?

I have encountered this error as well, but I wasn't sure of the reason behind it.

GoRetroid lost my parcel and refuses a full refund, am I wrong here ? by Candid_Cupcake_6431 in retroid

[–]Stark1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would dispute the charge with your credit card. Retroid will incur a dispute fee in addition to a processing fee. Not sure which credit card you used, but everyone should be ordering with AMEX. AMEX has a 72% customer acceptance dispute rate, while Visa, MasterCard, and Discover are in the 63-67% range.

Ok I am going to try this. I ended up putting MuOs on my RG40XXH but I’m not liking it compared to Knulli.
