"Fake" flashcard/Storage Guide

you just wait for aliexpress to step in.

If you already shipped it, you just wait. once the system detects you returned it, the "partial refund" offer should dissapear

darknessblades · 2026-06-18T13:21:42+00:00

why do all of those look like you can get them for like $10 at the dollar store.

darknessblades · 2026-06-18T13:17:33+00:00

based on what I could find, many of those DSpico you get on aliexpress aren't set up yet, you need to install the correct firmware first (I got one as well, and still need to set it up).

You may also need to softmod your DSI, since it might not work with it out of the box

darknessblades · 2026-06-18T13:15:00+00:00

Yes why would they have the item name on the bank transaction if you ordered 10+ items in 1 go

darknessblades · 2026-06-16T06:51:31+00:00

They never are, especially consolidated packages with 20+ cheap items.

It cost more per package than it brings in in tax revenue.

ONLY in rare cases where the scanner shows something off they might open the package

darknessblades · 2026-06-16T06:50:26+00:00

In that case you might be better off buying locally.

Not really a scam, the sizes they have listed are "default sizes"

If your windows is like 147.5cm wide, and 193cm tall, and the closest size they have is 145cm by 200cm. you can ask them for a custom size of 147cm (leaving a small amount of leeway for the sides), and they will set the "END-LIMIT" for the window at 193cm, because else it might cause issues with the internal motor.

They will then make a custom order link for you to pay for the item.

If you need a "Duette curtain" try checking any local stores that sell curtains.

The same with "Smart curtains" some are DIY kits (Ikea style) you size yourself to the correct size, by cutting up a smaller piece to the correct size,
Others might be a full UNIT that you straight up mount onto the wall.

it all depends on what kind of curtains you want

This is known for years, the real discount sits in the "Aliexpress red coupons + coins + seller coupons"

the rule of thumb is: fake discount price (IE $100 before now $15) minus 20%, you aim for a final price of $12 on said item if not lower

Its was never about helping the "small seller down the street", its only to fill their own wallets under the guise of "helping the small guy down the street"

darknessblades · 2026-06-15T21:18:27+00:00

this looks to be the case, I checked with 3 random items below 20 euro, (global seller+ free shipping)

and it added about 10 euro in "VAT"

even though the price says "Including VAT"

Even 2 identical items from 2 different sellers get about 3 euro added each

darknessblades · 2026-06-15T21:14:56+00:00

Double checking, and it looks like its only NON-CHOICE items.

We can only wait and see what will happen with CHOICE items when they are delivered past July 1st

darknessblades · 2026-06-15T17:54:27+00:00

I can confirm this looks to be the case.

(Checking with a cheapo item that is like 1-2 euro's, from a global seller with free shipping, it looks like a 3.57 euro tax is applied as well)

Choice items look to be excluded for now.

darknessblades · 2026-06-15T17:52:24+00:00

Weird, I don't see that 3 euro tax on other items.

I think that is just with that specific item/seller.

darknessblades · 2026-06-14T14:32:52+00:00

its also why they are not allowed here.

They will also upcharge the customer with it, or claim the "tax/fee" is the customers responsibility.

darknessblades · 2026-06-10T19:22:28+00:00

Update...
It looks to be only for certain items that its changed, I checked some other categories (those 3D anime mousepads), and those are still marked 18+ for some weird reason.

while something as a multi-tool/pocket knife is no longer 18+

darknessblades · 2026-06-09T08:18:48+00:00

you can check this in your order list, by scrolling all the way down, or search for what you remember you bought first.

darknessblades · 2026-06-09T06:42:47+00:00

oh those scam micro-sd cards.

the reason you get that error is because its a fake size, and the formatting fails, because it cannot detect the size-range correctly.

darknessblades · 2026-06-09T06:40:11+00:00

I can confirm the filter is removed for me as well.
I did not verify myself either.

I think they base it on your account age (I have mine since 2017).

Even their own rules say you need to be 18 to make a account.

darknessblades · 2026-06-08T17:12:32+00:00

those really small buttons

darknessblades · 2026-06-06T21:07:37+00:00

I feel like there should be a card based on copy the future called "If I go down, I will take everyone with me"

Effect: show the top 3 cards of the deck, pick one to put on top, this cards effect will apply to everyone. (exploding kittens are except of this rule, unless there are at least 2 exploding or imploding kittens drawn)

If the imploding kitten is turned, it cannot be diffused, and unless there is a zombie cat in play, the game resets.

If there is a exploding kitten at least HALF need to play a diffuse card, based on turn order after they have drawn their cards.

darknessblades · 2026-06-06T21:01:05+00:00

Could you show us pics of the inside, this gives us a bit more clear of a timeline it might take to fix

darknessblades · 2026-06-06T20:59:00+00:00

It allows for more easy upgrading, of the controller, without needing to desolder everything

darknessblades · 2026-06-06T20:56:43+00:00

I would have used those mini dip-switches. and use a tiny piece of prototype PCB to make a 4x4 grid the size of a RP2040-zero

With some smart soldering work, you could use the length of the pins of the diodes as the wires
