Sofirn Aliexpress Store added some stock in US, Poland and Russian

You have to use the 5$ off 65$ select coupons, the 1$ or 2$ shop coupons and a red Aliexpress coupon if you have. Then the price will rock. Sofirn’s Aliexpress store and some other stores allow you to use them all together.

It’s still very poor form to raise the price from (all prices USD) 48.99 to 61.24 (25% increase), and then advertise an 11:11 sale price of 40.42 (33% off, save $20.82) - when it’s more like 48.99 to 40.24 (~17.5% off, save $8.57).

While I don’t disagree that it’s still a nice drop from the average price, it’s nowhere near as large a saving as advertised, due to the immediately-before price jump. I know that laws in other countries don’t apply to AliExpress, but there’s definitely consumer laws against this in a lot of countries due to misrepresentation. Example here: Price displays | ACCC

I’m just disappointed that Sofirn has chosen to do so, when other brands have not. I’d be lying if I said my trust in them hasn’t been shaken.

Wellp, I was hoping to get an item with a full }) :LOVE: discount, guess my balance will probably remain unused for now. O:)

Whinners never get em deals, this aint the the US where complainers are king

Dont like it then dont buy :stuck_out_tongue:

More coupons for me !!!

Less than an hour for sales to start. We should see the lowest price of the year I guess.

I don’t disagree that the prices will be the lowest of the year, or that they’re a good deal - they’re just far less of a deal than is advertised.

Everyone can enjoy the deals, but I’ll be a conscientious objector on this one.

Nice, you managed to actually score one of those? I tried multiple times but always got errors when I tried to claim the coupon as soon as they became available.

Not everyone plays this way.

Hilarious using convoy as an example

Convoy doesnt even lower prices on aliexpress for 11.11 PERIOD

its the same price theyve always been

So folks love convoy NOT lowering prices, but hate sofirn for not lowering prices enought?

Hmmmmm

I don’t care about the level of discount, I care about the bait and switch. If you’re happy enough to ignore ethics for some cash off, you do you.

And yet i bet everyone here will ask sofirn for another sc31b 5.99$ code the next tine around :wink:

“Ethics” is me not moaning about lower prices but setting my alarm to wee hours of the morning to collect these coupons, and playing aliexpress stupid game twice to get more of em

But then folks should boycott sofirn, till ive used the codes anyways :slight_smile:

Sofirn is trying to mislead their customers into thinking the discounts are larger than they really are.
Furthermore, according to djozz earlier message, they silently upped the promo prices as well, so people who put the items in their carts are likely to buy for more than they thought they would - and are likely to miss that.
Furthermore - in their store they showed a banner like “Click ‘follow’ to get a discount coupon”. The coupon never arrived….

Such attempts are not nice. They mean one must be always very alert when buying from Sofirn to avoid any traps.
I much prefer Convoy’s straight and honest pricing policy.

And I like deals. But I hate fake deals.

Ok then… All I needed to know.

I thought it was understood that all companies raise the prices before a sale just to make their discounts look bigger. Isn’t this Advertising 101?

I’m actually shocked some countries passed a law to prevent this. Some type of “ethics” law to protect newbies who don’t know how things work. Television commercials are way way worse than this.

So what if someone doesnt get the “best deal” on a product? Sellers are under no obligation to give you the best price, they need to make profit.

This whole conversation is laughable. :disappointed:

Folks prefer convoys no aliexpress coupons or 11.11 discounts?

Okie dokie then …

Thank you aliexpress (i played yr stupid game) and sofirn for da STACKING

Note that this discount is in addition to the 11.11 pricing :wink:

Off to spend my lesser coupons now … have fun fellow BLFers !!!

So you don't “moan” about turning sales into a game where you have to spend considerable energy to get the deals. I don't set my alarm to collect coupons and I don't play stupid AliExpress games; and I certainly don't know how all that coupon game crap works.

“Enjoy” then, but I'd recommend you to avoid that “show off” attitude; not just here, but as a rule. You're helping no one with it, and depending where you show off it can make you earn an unfriendly reception, i.e. a kick in the ass.

Yeah just keep on moaning about sofirn offereing lower prices today, while praising convoy for offering none on ali

Its amazing how folks here just whine about prices not being as low as they want

When its the lowest of the year

And if youre not willing to put in a bit of work to get the codes/coupons, then thats on you

I mean do BLFers expect to be handed everything on a platter ???

A little work always pays off …

Oh and please dont make physical threats on BLF …

Raising price 25% immediately before a sale is an insult to the customers intelligence. When a store insults me - in real life or online - I take my business elsewhere.
No whining, no complaining. I just turn around and go elsewhere.

:+1: I call this: voting with your feet.

Just wait till the next sofirn 5.99$ sc31b promo code

I bet many of the folks here will also be asking for the code :stuck_out_tongue:
