I just bought 7 Liitokala Lii-S1 chargers, i.e. as many as I could without exceeding the UK customs limit.
I don’t normally buy chargers before I see HKJ’s review, but either he says they’re good and I’ve scored a great deal, or he says they’re bad and I use them for parts and cell slots in my own projects
It’s amazing how awkward it is to get a simple cell slot for a project, especially if you want it to support multiple cell sizes. I gave up years ago – now I just break up ready-made chargers instead…
Back on topic, I also bought two Sofirn SF13 2×AA lights as likely mod hosts, a couple of nice neoprene wrist straps and 20 tiny Li-Ion charging boards. Total price for all of todays purchases: about £50. Yesterday’s price: about £90. I’m a happy camper this morning
the S1s are no longer available, so you scored big time. I only ordered two, -65% is a very good discount in contrast to my other items in the cart (discounts range from -5% to -20%)

If that’s correct, not much use for protection with such a low current rating. $15 shipping doesn’t help either!
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.
Total price for all of todays purchases: about £50. Yesterday’s price: about £90. I’m a happy camper this morning
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.
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.

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.

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

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
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.
Ordered 2 sofirn sp10a’s, used paypal and they hit me up for $.80
Small amount to pay for full protection.

I can’t seem to find the deal for the S1 charger.
Can anyone show a direct link?

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

V11R and V10R Current Mod
Today i ordered Sofirn SF36W, C8A and C8F.
Hard to ignore all those types of coupons.
I will probably order C8T instead C8A, or maybe both.
Get both. There’s an additional $4 off $30 coupon you can exchange with coins
Score one more today.
Got a link for this one? Thanks
