Man, AliExpress Stores Sure Take They’re Time Shipping Orders!

That’s funny! I do remember watching a documentary about USPS and FedEx a couple of years ago and it showed all these complex conveyors completely loaded with packages
and employees plucking packages from one line and actually throwing them to another line and some bouncing around on the floor.

You want to talk about crazy tracking? This is for a Banggod order shipped 18 days ago. The last update, 17 days ago, shows it was loaded on a plane. Nothing after that. And what the heck happened at 9:41- exported to open and demolished? I’m hoping that’s a translation error.

LOL, now that's what I call tracking! A wonder any parcel even makes it to it's final destination.

@klrman, this will be both of us these winter season. We’ll have to wait until next year to receive our packages lol.

Shipping to Canada is that long usually (not counting strikes) ?

No. It’s usually pretty quick for China shipping. I usually get my packages within 2 to 3 weeks.

With the strikes on the west coast however, that waiting time has been doubled.

So I’m not expecting to get my Sofirn C01 until the holiday, so that will probably be delayed until next year.

And let’s not talk about the Fireflies PL47 lol.

Whoa !
That’s more than twice as long as what i’m used too.

Holy smokes!!
I wonder if they sometimes accidentally ship an employee with the packages…

Depends who you are ordering from. Except for sofirn and a few others, I've stayed away from Aliexpress because of the ridiculous transit times and fake tracking updates.

At least 2019 is going to be a great year lol.

Finally got an update to my tracking. The package that was shipped from China, by airline, October 31, arrived in New York at 9 pm, Nov 17. That’s a 17 day flight from China to USA.

Yeah, when I ordered a bodycam, I never expected to get a whole body with it.

Since the most shops don’t have warehouses themselves, all they do is order the part from a bigger company to you and mark the order as shipped…

That’s what happened for me. It took 14 days from ordering to receiving.

Yeah, it seems if you order from stores at A.E. that advertise here, you get them reliably and fairly quickly most of the time.

Otherwise, I’m about through ordering from A.E. unless the store is aboard here on BLF. I just went through 2 more disputes with them and luckily Paypal came to the rescue.

My go to Chinese dealer is still Fasttech. 7-8 orders in past several months and they’ve always come through.

Ordered Raspberry Pi heatsinks (copper / aluminum 2 sets of 2 each). The order was paid on Feb 13th. The seller just sent me a message tonight that they’ll ship it soon. Almost 3 weeks have passed and there is still no date for a shipment.

This isn’t the first time this happened and all these stores have stellar feedback profile (98.8% or better).

I really am through with ordering from AE! Three orders and two I have to file disputes! Like I said, one was refunded by AE and thankfully the other was refunded by PayPal! If you still want to order from AE, make sure they accept PP!

Like your experience USA, the AE store tells me they received my PAID order and it will be shipped soon. A couple of weeks go by and then they say it’s been shipped. Then more weeks go by and nothing. When I placed my orders, both stores said the items were in stock. When I finally put in a dispute, both admitted they weren’t in stock or couldn’t ship them because of postal limitations. WTF?

I’m soured on AE! Use at your own risk!

I only order from known & trusted stores on AE. That usually leads to a more pleasant & harmonious experience for me. :wink:

Looked fast, thought you wrote “pleasant and humorous”… :laughing:
