Good luck with the claim. Time to find out how Aliexpress does with refunds. You could also try going to USPS and telling them to return to sender.
Everything I’ve read says that Ali always sides with the sellers….
I may try that. So I just tell them it’s not what I ordered or how does that work?
I'm not quite sure, I would just try going there and talking to them. I will most likely be trying that out today once my "HID" comes.
I’ve just taken a punt on http://www.powerwholesale.net/ for some batteries and a Trustfire Z8. I placed the order new years eve and was advised that they would contact me to advise shipping prices. I chased them last night only to realise after that they had already sent this info but gmail flagged it as SPAM. They apologised it took them two days to email it but apparently lots of China shuts for a couple of days over what we know as new year. Prices seem pretty good and having played the month+ waiting game with a few orders I went for DHL tracked. I’ll have to see if the £7 it’s costing me delivers in the 3-7 days they promised.
Here’s some photos to show you guys.
The one on the left is the one this seller sent me. The one on the right which is what I ordered by the way was the original battery in my 85watt HID ebay light. The tailcap cover is cut out for the power switch for the battery on the right. So the one on the left won’t work.
Again here’s the one on the left that seller sent me. It is supposed to be a 8700mah like the one I currently have on the right for my 85watt HID flashlight.
Is that a volt meter on it?
Here’s a picture of the tailcap so you can see why this one he sent me won’t work. This has got the original battery in the light.
Certainly looks like two seven segment displays.
The one he sent me has a digital display for what I don’t know. It says 92 or 26 however way you turn it for green blue and red.
So not a volt meter. :(
I’m gonna guess a battery power display.
Probably blue - 92% green - 50% ish range red - 30% or less, at a guess.
How come on the main menu it says “And I Don’t Know If ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS I Trust AliExpress”
That’s because I am the author of this thread and ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS is under that column and out to the side as your reading that title. LOL!

Now remember this is the sellers ad I bought from. I told him internet fraud is a felony.
But he's in China. ;)
Well spread the word on this seller to anyone you know. He flat sucks. And I told him that, too and added some more I won’t say here. This seller is a fraud.
I will get my money back.
One way or the other.
This fraudulent seller wants me to send the battery pack back at my expense and issue me a full refund. Not gonna happen you scumbag. You will pay for the return shipping beforehand, or you won’t get the battery pack back. And you will give me a full refund since you are a low-life fraud.
Update: This transaction has went to a claim. We shall see how Ali-Express stands behind their customers. I’ll let you guys know more later as all this unfolds.
