Scam shop at Alixpress

FREE fedex shipping

hm

Let’s be realistic: everybody starts at 0.0% feedback. And they opened 9 days ago.

Very tempting, but I’d still want to support Simon at the Convoy flashlight Store where there’s no risk.

They have store houses in every continent! FEDEX delivers in a few days. It should have some feeds already;))

Even if they were getting these items for free I don’t think they can make these prices work. If somebody was paying them to get rid of returned items, maybe. It seems like a lot of effort to go through and Ali would be shutting them down almost immediately.

This.

If it wasn’t worth it, then they wouldn’t do it.

Looks like a scam to me.
I’ve been buying a lot over the years from AliExpress and I have to say it’s safer and there’s less scammers than on eBay.
There’s also some additional benefits compared to ebay but AliExpress is China based so you can’t get stuff from all over the world and there’s no used stuff by private vendors.
If I see something like this (which hasn’t happened in a long time) I usually follow the store or the item and it disappears in few days unlike scammers on eBay.
Once or twice I bought something dodgy and it was automatically refunded to me after few days.

Has anyone actually ordered from this place??
Or is everyone just ASSuming they are not legit, with no real knowledge of the situation besides random opinions??

Just curious…… :beer:

Too late, it now says “Sorry, this item is no longer available!”

I predicted Ali would shut them down almost immediately.

It last 12 days…

I bought a brass faucet yesterday. Status is still “to ship”.
I was going to buy more stuff but today the store is empty:(

Thanks for sharing that kat, please do let us know the outcome.

Just to be clear, I don’t think they ever had any of these items. I think they set out to scam ali and the public. They figured they could last x number of days and get a few thousand dollars from customers before Ali caught on.

Not unusual for sellers to sell item cheap at first to build reputation, and bring new customers, but it is also not unusual for scammers to do the same.

After like 2 weeks of waiting for seller to ship my faucet order was closed.
“Seller failed to ship your order on time”
:frowning:

so are you getting a refund from ali now?

There is another scam going around, i did come across on websites as well as ebay. It works like this, you pay for the item, then wait, for 5-7 days no one emails you anything, then you get an email saying it was delivered 2 days ago, however it was not, nor it was ever shipped. the scammers have access to fedex/ups database, they look for tracking going to your town, and fake the delivery, once i tried to dispute with paypal, but they took seller side cuz tracking says it was delivered. the tracking only shows the town, not the address, and it is next to impossible to get original label from fedex ups to have any proof for a dispute. With first scam i lost 90 bucks, but i learned my lesson. Next time had had another scammer do the same on ebay, again, my ebay showed no activity for a week, and then entire history popped up, with my package marked delivered days ago, but i already learned my lesson, I did a dispute, but i did not say it was not delivered, i said wrong item was delivered, of course the scammer stayed quiet and could not respond to that, so 10 days later or so, i got my refund from ebay,
