Sure, and wait a month for an empty box to show up
- herbst 5y agoAliExpress has escrow. You are essentially less likely to be screwed than with Amazon (no escrow, and still many shady sellers) I also never had empty or wrong products show up, and I shop nearly everything that is made in china anyway directly from ali. And assuming it would happen, I just get my money back thanks to escrow.
- eisa01 5y agoI was still screwed, couldn’t get a refund on a 10 USD USB-C headphone adapter that hissed with my iPad. They claimed they couldn’t hear it on the video I submitted, and there was no possibility to protest or submit a new recording
- kube-system 5y agoI too have been screwed by Aliexpress escrow. It’s worthless and protects the seller first. I got a combined shipment that was missing an item. I sent a message telling them that one item in the shipment was missing. They responded by saying that the tracking number showed delivered, closed the case, and gave me no way to respond. I buy from Chinese sellers on eBay instead, their buyer protection actually works.
- herbst 5y agoI got my money back each time so far if the item was broken or different than advertised. No questions asked. Prolly they are more careful with European customers? Maybe because I spent relatively large amounts already? No idea
- allenu 5y agoI bought a couple of items there and they were great deals. Tried buying a third item and it never showed and the seller said to wait a bit longer and eventually it went over the time limit to get a refund. Seller didn’t respond after that, so I’ve learned my lesson and won’t shop there anymore.
