    Has anyone ever used ali express?

    http://www.aliexpress.com more specifically? Some pretty cheap stuff on there! Just bought a filter to test to see a) if it actually comes b) how long it takes!

    I use it a lot and a few Taobao agents. Pretty decent service and lots of cheap stuff, babes love cheap stuff.

    Interesting to see some good feedback for them

    Google "ali express scam" for some light reading lol

    I was shown something on there - wrong pic for spec wrong model year listed - price way too low to be true = be very wary
    basically i said to the guy go on if you buy one i can double your money parting it out on trademe - but there are so many storys of stuff never arrived or when it got here was not even remotely what was ordered and costs more to send it back than to just throw it away

    I find with ebay or these ali resellers - just google the product itself and buy direct from the manufacturer or wholesaler that they buy from

    paypal by visa debit card gives some protection - paypal can be ass to deal with but as soon as you sic visa onto them they reverse charges pretty quickly

    what were you specifically looking at on the site?

    We get to read about every decision you make. I'm just wondering if you don't go out in public for a reason.

    Haha no you don't. And if it bothers you so, don't read? simple really, not sure why it concerns you enough to mention it, lol.

    Too far to commute for me now. Three times the distance, now that we've moved out of Petone.
