Who else has this problem.
I wanted to look for Simon's convoy store on Aliexpress. I have been searching 5 minutes and without finding his store.
When I search for Convoy, I get all sorts of flashlights, including Nitecore on the top, Lumintop, Sofirn, Manker and some other brands.
Why not just CONVOY?
...strange Aliexpress!
And when I search for Convoy S2+ I see many other stores, but not Simon's.
Yeah, it’s dumb. Mobile link, but hopefully it will get you there:
I have the same problem! The best way for me to go there is check my orders and find what I bought from him and then enter the store.
Searching on AE has become worse.
Still, it is better than BG of GB! From far (at least last time I checked )
It’s evolving like Google did. Started off as a tool to help people find stuff.
Morphed into a tool to help sellers find people to sell stuff to.
And evolving like Amazon Choice products. Started off claiming to be a quality indicator
Morphed into a tool that pushes cheap crap, according to the WSJ.
Evolution in action (sigh).
If you’re looking for a specific store it sometimes helps to add “official store” in the search bar.
Usually its easier to google it.
When I google Convoy Simon the first thing it brings up is his store (Store No.330416).
Search for “Convoy S2”, not logged in:
The first result is from Simon’s store.
Yeah, the Ali search engine…
Here the first 2 listings i see are from the Convoy store though.
But i’ve added it to my favorite stores, so i can always find it.
I can never find it by searching on Ali as well. I just type “convoy flashlight” into duck duck go and the link to his store pops up on my search. I assume the same may work with google, I don’t use google. Then I just bookmark it so I don’t have to search anymore.
Yea same, it’s better to search on google than Aliexpress
Remember to clear your browser cache, if you’re planning on looking for something.
Otherwise you may have been caught in a search bubble, in which you’re steered over and over to something you previously visited that’s connected with advertising being pushed at you.
Yep, to make sure you are at Simon’s store/page, just put “convoy.” in front of aliexpress.com: https://convoy.aliexpress.com/
It’s more difficult if your using the app. Find a legitimate store product and click on the store name.
Thanks.. It might be something cache related.
Today, when I search, the first few results are from Simon's store.. really strange.
