HOLD your Ali Express checkout until (EDITED: 180328)!!

Right.
I shoulda been quicker.
Thanks

That’s quite extraordinary.
None of the items that I wanted to buy got even 5% discount.
I mean real discount, not from some elevated price.

For those who may want a Wuben TO46R with a good discount , from AliExpress Wuben store:

Sofirn Store has some discounts and coupons as well for their lights :wink:

Very nice prices on 18650’s.
Panasonic NCR18650B 3400MAh
Panasonic 3400 mAh

LG M26 2600mah
LG 2600mAh

From the Panasonic page - Output: 4.2v 600mA
If that’s correct, not much use for protection with such a low current rating. $15 shipping doesn’t help either!

I came across ConvoyL2 $8.78 and it is so cheap .

Very tempting to buy 2 but im not sure if it’s a scam. So far they have 34 positive reviews.

Wouldn’t buy, it’s a waste of time. And unlikely, but possible lost dispute.
The price is too good to be true. And there are many contradictions in the description.

More than half of the money I saved was on the Lii-S1 chargers, and most of the rest was on a couple of Sofirn lights. I only got small discounts on the other stuff.

I do the same as you with discounts - I ignore the overinflated “normal price” and look at real prices. If I can, I compare the previous discounted prices with today’s price. In addition to that, I always compare prices between competing suppliers. All part of the arms race between us and the suppliers’ marketing people.

So…congratulations on scoring great deals! :beer:

It says in various places:-

USB Zooming Torch
USB Rechargeable
MINI
Brand Name: Supfire
Light Source: Halogen Bulbs
Battery Type: AA
Wattage: 220v
Support Dimmer: Stepless dimming

None of which look remotely correct, it seems like a jumble of random specs thrown together.
What you get, if indeed anything, would be a complete lottery, and it would be hard to claim it wasn’t as described, because they aren’t describing one product here, but many.

I don't have much luck with that Liitokala Official Store in the past but i still go ahead to place a bulk order for Lii-S1. I guess this is the only deal worth considering.

Thanks, I hope you get something good next time :beer:

Spot on. Such high shipping fees like yours sure kill the deal.
Shipping to my country USD 1.05.

I can confirm the Sofirn store takes PayPal. It cost me an additional 0.80 cents though. I haven’t tried it at any other stores.

I am new to Aliexpress, I would like to use paypal, some stores use paypal and some do do not. So that limits my selection? or is there a method to use paypal with all transactions?

Not all stores at Aliexpress take Paypal and when I have had items in my cart from 2 different stores that both accept Paypal I have had to pay for each stores items separately in order to use Paypal

I’ve been using Aliexpress since 2014 and made dozens of orders for over a hundred products. I just use my credit card directly. Aliexpress is like the Amazon of China so no worries. Aliexpress also protects you from frauds and defects. I have gotten full refunds from them without having to ship the defective product back.

With other small merchants, I would rather use paypal.

According to the current groupbuy, none of these are actually 90CRI due to manufacturer mistake. The real 90CRI version is being manufactured right now.

I was dithering around looking at other items on the LiitoKala store last night and when I went to checkout, the price on the S1 had jumped back to $7.99 :frowning:

I bought over $300 worth of flashlights from Ali. Among my most notable deal is two Sofirn SF11 for $32.48 shipped. I used a Sofirn store $2 coupon in conjunction with an Aliexpress select coupon of $4 off $30. These make great gifts since they use AA and the light output will surely impress the non flashlight enthusiasts.

First time using Ali for me, I got the newbie $4 coupon to work but couldn’t figure out how to get the $2 sofirn coupon to work.
Figured it out after I had already placed my order. :person_facepalming:
Ordered 2 sofirn sp10a’s, used paypal and they hit me up for $.80
Small amount to pay for full protection. :wink:
Ordered last night and they shipped this morning.
