2 of my aliexpress parcels reach today and yesterday after that coronavirus extended lunar new year extensions.
one pack is my Samsung 30q 3pcs
the other pack is a 180 degree wide angle reverse camera that doesn’t work for me. (the image was for front dashcam and not mirrored rear)
I believe The gentleman who is fixing my HT70 is also waiting for parts[SST-70 and other stuff] from Kaidomain. I think he ordered around February 1st or 2nd.
Hopefully they send your order, his and others soon!
I made several orders since the CNY started. Some of them were shipped, some even arrived already.
But some have been waiting for shipment for a long time. Aliexpress has extended the shipping deadlines at least twice already but it seems they won’t be doing it again - and I have 4 packages waiting for shipment with deadline of about 48 hours.
I wonder if it makes sense to voluntarily extend the deadline or should I just consider the items as lost?
Payment verification by Aliexpress (takes any amount of time, usually just seconds but I’ve seen over a day)
Waiting for shipment (seller has IIRC 2 weeks to ship the item)
In transit, the time limit depends on the shipping method. Whatever you see as delivery time is just this, the previous steps actually extend your wait.
Actually 3) can be split into
3a) seller provides the tracking number
3b) seller actually ships the item
If deadline at 2) is not met the order is cancelled automatically.
If deadline at 3) is not met, Ali says “confirmation received” but you can file a dispute to claim that the item is not in your hands.
In my case I have a few orders where Ali extended the deadline at 2). At least twice. But the extended deadline is about to end and if nothing happens by then - will be cancelled, returning me the money.
But I don’t want the money, I want the items. And if there’s a reasonable chance that the lack of shipment is just a delay and extending the deadline would give me the stuff - I’d gladly do it. But if it will just delay returning money (and delay my re-purchases from other sellers) I’d rather not.
