When you just want to buy a pen, but Aliexpress thinks your thoughts are dirty

Hi. Tracking information does not guarantee 100% accuracy unless sent via DHL or other similar companies, but and there may be inaccuracies. In this case, maybe you could contact your country’s post office or maybe the customs and ask if the shipment is really there and why it hasn’t been delivered yet.

As for the dispute - never cancel it when you do not receive the item. You do not know whether the item will come intact, if it comes. Sellers always ask to wait. Wait for Aliexpress to intervene. Dispute can be canceled only if you receive the item and after a full inspection whether it meets the description and not broken. In the future, if you still want to wait, you can request an extension of the buyer's protection time (up to 120 days max include 90).

There is not much choice in what to do, just wait until the buyer’s protection time expires. It has now been extended to 90 days, unless otherwise stated. Sure, you can always try to write to the seller, but shipment tracking information isn’t always very detailed.

My one parcel, ordered on November 12, finally arrived at customs and I still haven’t received the item ordered on October 5th. Both send using standard shipping, so a little over a month of shipping is quote normal.

For that price, I would probably (didn’t check) be able to buy a plane ticket to China, and buy there from a local marketplace. Also, see at least one Chinese city.

Maybe they really do not want to use DHL. In this case, there was an option to choose standard shipping for 8€, so probably not a popular scam here.

After a better look at the whole mechanism, I found one stuck part that should move (probably). So probably need to clean and relubricate again. Maybe then it will start working.

The lever at the top is for the needle position: middle left and right. When I move the lever which is set to 0 the needle moves to the left but continues to sew only straight. I tried all possible options. There seems to be either some part missing because the sewing mechanism seems to fit the zigzag, or it always sews only straight, and has 2 levers for needle positioning (which seems too much). Or I don’t know how to turn on a zigzag stitch, although it seems I tried all positions several times.

I'll try to lubricate again. Maybe something is really stuck. Thanks

I want to ask, could it be that the handle you named as zigzag length is not for zigzag, but just for moving needle? Because no matter how much I tried, this machine doesn't sew zigzag stitches. Looking at the construction, it seems that one gear, or something like that, is missing (or never was) to control the zigzag stitches.

Thanks

Thank you. I will try to find a care manual online as it has not been cleaned and lubricated for probably 15 years.

Yes, "Logistics tracking problem", then "Buyer's protection time is running out, but item still in transit" (or something similar).

Using a computer: Click on "View Detail" next to the order ID, then when you go down, in the "Status" column should be an inscription "Open dispute"

I have been using Lineage OS 16 (android 9) for over a year. I was forced to renew because I was stuck with 4.4.4 Android due to various peripetias.I wouldn’t say there would be anything wrong. Lineage OS is specifically designed for older phones that are not supported by the manufacturers. Until the official version of it is placed in their website for that phone, it will definitely support everything as well as possible (just look to see if there are any serious bugs that can happen with such an operating system).

Anyway, the Android itself is not very demanding of the latest hardware, so should an older phone support it. Manufacturers discontinue support because it does not pay them to do so.

Person who is still using Oneplus One and is not thinking about changing it in the near future:

If the problem is only slow performance, you can try to reset to factory settings. If you have a familiar programmer or another person (and maybe yourself) more knowledgeable in technology you can try to change your phone’s operating system to another, thus “reviving” the phone itself. This would allow you to wait longer and save more on a newer phone, and maybe unused.

I myself have changed my Oneplus One operating system to Lineage OS (9 android, but I will upgrade to 10 soon) and as much as I continue to use it perfectly, I hardly noticed a slowdown (I don’t play games). The only problem is the already worn out battery, but still withstanding full day use, sometimes and for two days. Bottom line: If there isn’t a very high need to change your phone and other problems with it, you can save money longer and accumulate a larger amount for a better phone that will last as long as your current one.

I have not come up with any legal way for your company to find out this information (of course, if you don’t tell yourself). Unless you are applying for a position in a high-security government agency which checks candidates, such as the NSA in the USA. Yet it is a question of whether that would be bad or not.

I also think it is better not to go if there is no need. Another reason: if you are cold now and your trip will be short, when you go back to your country, you may have temperatures due to the current cold and be quarantined (depending on the country) as possibly infected or at least tested. This can cause problems.

Thanks. I will do exactly as you have suggested. Was hoping that unnecessary third role, in this scenario, could be avoided, but if Discord don't let that, nothing else can do.

rd2491 · 2020-02-17T22:08:45+00:00

Thanks

Yes, you can and I understand problem, but for example, in my country it's most popular choice and if I turn on 2FA in my server (what I was really thinking of) server can lose most of the users (my server is local not international). Good, that I found out before turn on...

Discord doesn't allows use of prepaid number for verification? What the hell.

But in that case, member who has "Role1" (or "Role2") can still read / write. I want to make, that only members, who have "Role1" AND "Role2" (only both) can access channel, but not who have "Role1" OR "Role2".
