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

The code was expired

Edit: It work.

This discount was also around to get as a Red Aliexpress coupon for free. Used it to order a few nice flashlights at the Sofirn store and they were really cheap after applying all discounts available. :+1: :money_mouth_face:

Thank you for all the coupons and discounts at the Sofirn store. :laughing:

This is all quite funny. You know what this reminds me of, those Black Friday sales you see on TV where people camp out overnight in front of the store just so they can get in early and then it’s a mad dash to grab the items they want. Lol

I don’t do that or use coupons. Call me crazy. :partying_face:

Strange request, but okay Crazy.

I don’t blame you, since many of these coupons save only a dollar or two and are often a pain in the butt to use. However, a $10 coupon is worth my while as I think of money as how long it took me to earn it doing work where every minute was misery.

If I ever enjoyed my work, I’d probably spend waaay too much money :wink: . Luckily, I can’t imagine ever enjoying any work.

Realistically, consumers will never care how much they paid for a product once they’ve received it. If they actually enjoy the product, they may even be willing to pay twice as much to replace it if lost or stolen. They’ll fret over a $3 savings when shopping for the product, yet may soon put it in a drawer or closet, never to be used again. Humans are weird.

The desire to save even $0.25 on the purchase price is a large part of why manufacturing has cost-optimized most of our products into dysfunction and unreliability.

But why? thats even more expensive

Edit, youre talking pounds and dollars, little confusing

You have just described the Endowment Effect from behavioral finance.

Does anyone have the coupon for Amazon? Thanks in advance.

aliexpress platform code for all products in Aliexpress

Looks like sofirn has been unable to fulfill some of their 11.11 orders and have been marking items as shipped with fake tracking numbers when nothing has been sent to the carrier

Basically they are selling stuff they dont have in stock and preventing you from cancelling the order by falsely marking it as shipped :wink:

Jackie would you look at my order from 11.11+ ID.8006024117971617+ after 8 days of un-track tracking no. provided now it show ” Shipment Cancelled ” so what next ?

Not a problem. My orders had a delivery guarantee “Delivered before 12/07 or full refund.”

Annoyingly, the date on AE changed to 12/11 after they “shipped” the order just before 4 days after I placed it, which is AE’s limit before the order is automatically cancelled. At least I have screenshots of the 12/07 date on the product page in case I need it.

My tracking info was last updated on 2019/11/22 with “Despatch from Sorting Center.”

Another Sofirn order from ebay arrived in only two weeks even after a detour to Germany.

Where are you getting your information? If you are just assuming this because the tracking numbers don’t currently show up, you may not be aware that this is quite common. It doesn’t mean the tracking number is fake, it just means it’s not showing up yet. Sometimes they will send you a tracking number unique to your country, but you won’t get info on it until it reaches your country and is handed over to the local post. Other times the tracking number may work sooner, but only certain tracking websites will show it. So please don’t make a knee jerk, false accusation unless you have some type of proof. Most people here know this already, but there might be a few people here who might actually believe you and you get them worried for no reason.

Could you mention those websites?

I just use the tracking details in AliExpress, but it usually doesn’t get updated past when it first lands in the destination country.

They are marking with fake shipping numbers before the auto-cancel (if unable to ship within a few days). Otherwise the auto cancel will affect their store ratinf.

The problems is that nothing is shipped, theres no updates of it being accepted by the carrier nor does the tracking number exist on the carriers site.

This also prevents you from cancelling the order, which should have been auto cancelled the moment they failed to actually ship

Its an old aliexpress trick used by dishonest sellers

Even mentioning the above results in sofirns CS refusing to talk to you about yr order

And what’s the problem? Either wait for it to arrive within the ETA or you can open an AliExpress dispute later. Why would you want to cancel the order because of this?

The simple fact is that folks are being given fake tracking numbers by sofirn

Here is a SOFIRN SELLER from their group page

I have not had any problems with Sofirn. My own assumption for my 11-11 Sofirn order is the number provided is an internal tracking number - because I just received notice from USPS that my items are now in the US and soon to be on my door step. I have two separate orders coming from Sofirn and both are making their way. Another none BLF item is not scheduled to arrive until just before the New Year. It takes a while to get items from China and that is clearly stated when you order - usually 2-4 weeks, most often 2-3 weeks.

Because is dishonest to assign fake tracking numbers and also dishonest to orders you cant fulfill and leave the customer hanging thinking its going to be sent within a reasonable time

Lumintop or even liitokala for example had stuff that were sold out during 11.11 and you couldnt order, rather than sell stuff that wasnt in stock

17track is a good one. Some other good tracking sites have been mentioned on BLF, but I can’t remember them off hand.

So either you receive it on time, or you get your goodies for free. Is that such a bad deal?

Does anyone order stuff from China expecting quick delivery? I’m used to 3-6 weeks wait, and if I get it in 2 weeks, that’s a surprise.

If you need guaranteed deliveries, check out Fedex International Priority Weekend delivery or equivalent. I was shocked that a company sent me an item from 4000km away, delivered in 24 hours on a Saturday. But it probably cost them $100.
