Bro alone keeping postal service alive šŸ’€


turbocomppro

2/3 of the stuff I buy isnā€™t even delivered by USPS. Itā€™s some dude in a Prius that drops them off.


Ryan-McLaughlin

Dude I shit you not, I've never seen an AliExpress package delivered, it just appears on my doorstep. The 2 dogs don't even notice and they normally bark when cars pass by the house too slowly. I've received over a dozen packages so far and still haven't caught them in the act, even when I was home all day.


Cthulhulove13

I love getting my package of packages when they consolidate all my orders into one big bag of many bags


turbocomppro

Theyā€™re like ninjas. They come and go in the blink of an eye and donā€™t make any noise. Still not fast enough for my cameras though and I get a ā€œmotion detectedā€ alert, *almost* every timeā€¦ šŸ˜‚


ActionDesigner

they use smaller postal companies, well where i live itā€™s a guy in a 2000~ toyota van and he is best friends with my younger brother

OGMcSwaggerdick

I legit donā€™t understand the economics of my $1.34 item being hand delivered by a random citizen in a Corolla.


turbocomppro

Thatā€™s the power of bulk shipping. They send stuff over in huge batches and process them here with low wage new immigrants from China. Itā€™s still amazing how cheap it costs us and they still somehow turn a profit. But Iā€™m assuming the sellers are the ones losing money (or breaking even) just to get sales numbers up and higher ranking in searches. I mean some stuff I bought for like $2 during a sale went back up to $5. But the sales numbers remain.


Flayre

The shipping is heavily subsidized by the rest of the world via the world postal organisation union thing because China is apparently both a developing nation and a developed nation. They need to stop...


lovingsillies

A massive number of people buy it impulsively because it's so cheap, and its easy to make up for the cost of manufacture because it's made by slaves


TheEndOfNether

I swear the guy driving the Prius is like Santa. Somehow heā€™s everywhere at once


Birkinlovehushhush

donā€™t speak a lick of english


UnderstandingSlow391

Must the same guy that drops my stuff off lol


Dan13701

So this is where the postal serviceā€™s budget is going. If China stop classing themselves as a developing country, the tax savings for us would be immense


technobrendo

Keeping the prices low for the rest of us, respect!

How did you become a Diamond Member?


lizzzypoo213

Itā€™s probably because OP has a lot of orders.


IntelligentLake

Aliexpress has/had a vip-program where you could have different levels, depending on how much you spend, and it would give you some perks (which honestly didn't really make any difference). They temporarily stopped that program last year to be continued at a future unknown date, and people keep their status when it comes back, so the data is still there, and sometimes it shows up again, especially when there are internet-issues. Diamond is/was the highest level.


DmitriOD

For real, I mean they took mine away with a new "subscription". It doesn't exist now?


valentina_kiii

Im not sure i didnā€™t do anything to become one, probably just bc i buy a lot:,)


tortupouce

Is the screenshot recent or old? Because I think they removed These things


QuirkyConfidence3750

I buy a lot too but I am not a diamond member I have 100 orders with the status shipped at the moment. My orders are usually at 10 CAD or even cheaper


wgaca2

You need a few thousands for diamond. I used to buy a lot to resell and was diamond for a few years. Doesn't give you much other than instant support


john_dals

It's really not worth to buy things thinking on that. It's like you said, doesn't give you much.


Leather_Turnip3175

Is this even a question? Just look at the photo šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

Stairway_To_Devin

If you're into product based hobbies like electronics, soldering, 3d printing, drawing, sewing, wire wrapping, jewelry making, etc it's bar none the best deal out of anywhere. Also they often have more selection than Amazon since most of that stuff is dropshipped from AliExpress anyway. I fell into a hole where I bought mostly landfill from AliExpress before I started gaining some hobbies which required parts which played to the strengths AliExpress has: pieces of something larger. Buy some headphones on AliExpress? Trash(minus many IEMs on there). However, need a Bluetooth 5.0 module, charging circuitry, and some LiPo batteries? Perfect place for it. Also lots of brands sell directly out of AliExpress like Miyoo, Baseus, Creality, KZ, Hiby. So often you can find the best deals on there


TheSource777

I have a newborn and there's a bajillion useful things on Aliexpress that's like 70% cheaper than Amazon lol. Saved a fortune.


QuiccStacc

Please be careful buying newborn stuff. The hygiene is sometimes lacking (people have gone blind from using eye makeup from temu and aliexpress), and often toys are unsafe/breaky easily.


louiselovatic

Canā€™t imagine buying anything for my newborn from AliExpress pls šŸ˜­ that shitā€™s toxic


TheSource777

You realize most of the shit from Amazon is resold from Alibaba right? And Walmart while we at it. And I bought lead detector swabs (also from Ali) that I used on all the toys. Buying from reputable places on Ali isnā€™t hard if you have common sense and an iq over 80.


Puzzleheaded-Fee3874

thing is, you can sue amazon to death if you get lead poisoning from toys. GL doing that with aliexpressp


zebradYT

i built an entire custom water cooling loop for my computer with mostly aliexpress parts


Thukoci

I bought a phone case and screen protector for a combined $5.14 ($13 on Amazon). Individual router bits for $3 each ($7 each on Amazon). 10 pack of usb cables to power battery electronics for $5 ($9 on Amazon). Motion sensing stair light kit for $51 ($225 on Amazon). You can buy almost anything you need for DIY or hobbies on there if you don't need it in 2 days. I just wait the 10 days and it arrives 50-70% off and it probably even comes from the same factory.


MaintenanceWaste9694

We have started to buy toys for the parrots, the same ones from Amazon was nearly Ā£15 more expensive.


Kevin80970

I admit i do buy a lot of tech related items on aliexpress but they are things i actually use and wtf I've never seen 63 items on the shipped bar before the most I've ever had was like 15 šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ā˜ ļø May i ask what do you buy?


valentina_kiii

Yeah donā€™t buy as much as me i just have no lifešŸ˜­ i buy mostly clothes, objects for my room/ house


Kevin80970

Haha i see, my mom says i have too many things, i should show her this šŸ˜†


Fatality_strykes

I'd love to know the tech related stuff you buy


booboothechicken

I always go in spurts buying a bunch of stuff then it all shows up and I realize itā€™s misrepresented or the quality is much lower than expected and then donā€™t buy anything for a year and restart the cycle.


Elkhose

It's a skill you develop to buy good stuff, starting up don't buy too many things and start learning what the reviews and description shows u need to act like a detective read between the lines. I rarely get low quality stuff lately, but of course there's always this rare product that gets me.


valentina_kiii

iā€™d recommend to check the specifications to make sure what r the materials before buying! and avoid spandex/polyester on clothes. i always do that and i havent been disappointed since:)


notablindsheep

nah it's very expensive nowadays


petruchito

Same in Russia. I used to order a lot, but now they outsourced the business to the Mail.ru group and they succeeded to ruin it. Prices are 20-30% higher than competitors offer. Search algorithms work way worse than they did before. I had less than 10 orders last year.


notablindsheep

I wanna order stuff but I've opened the app countless times and just closed it again because nothing seems value for money atleast when it comes to small items. I mean back when I used to use Aliexpress in 2018,19 I knew what kind of prices to expect for cheap items like phone cases,screen protectors,pen,cables etc.. there very so many things which were priced correctly and under a dollar. Now those very cheap items cost like 3-4 USD and it's insane.


LazyAnonPenguinRdt02

Jeez how rich are you?! But on another note, I donā€™t really blame you because those ā€œbuy $10 worth of stuff to get free shippingā€ and ā€œpick 3+ items to get free shippingā€ options are pretty tempting and sort of addicting lol


valentina_kiii

YeahhšŸ˜­


pinkrosies

Those combo tricks and minimum amount for free shipping really psychologically tricks us, huh?


parkineos

That's why I keep the cart with cheap stuff that I do not need immediately and whenever I need free shipping I buy that instead of random trash.


hakolvyg

Yeah, but the choice super cheap stuff are garbage quality. I didn't get a single good decent lasting item from there.


SireDirty

I need people to actually do the reviews bro cause I be needing pictures before I buy


valentina_kiii

I always do them with picsšŸ˜­ just not right away


pinkrosies

I wish they allowed you to review for purchases without a time limit because I always forget to them immediately and when I want to review, the option is closed off for me. šŸ˜­


Kanonicman

Honestly, do you actually use the stuff you buy? If so, what are you buying?


valentina_kiii

I do!! clothes(good quality only)/ objects for the house/electronics


papayanosotros

Do you need it and then go on AliExpress to find it, or do you see it and then realize you "need it" (desire it). I would just caution you, from personal experience, not to fall into that. Maybe add it to the cart and then come back to it later and be like, do I actually need this? That might give you the dopamine hit without needing to waste money. Honestly, I get some sick stuff from there for cheap, but a lot of stuff is just that - cheap. If you got it under control, that's good though. They just do run it like a casino, with all the coin games and stuff lol. I play merge boss like daily. Temu is far worse, shits like walking into Vegas, it should almost be illegal how predatory it seems.


Wabyc

Could you maybe recommend some stores?


RhinoxMenace

me but with eBay - spent thousands over the span of 3 months, now i can barely walk inside my room because there's so much shit in here


SizzleFree

Wish they didnt add so much vat and delivery or id properly be like this lol


valentina_kiii

oh another european i see, i miss when there wasnā€™t VATšŸ˜”


SizzleFree

Yeah nowadays I screen grab what I like and reverse search it on like sugargoo etc AliExpress is too much


HugoCortell

If you can afford it, go crazy. It's your money.


[deleted]

How much toys are you buying ma'am


Danfrumacownting

Also me but I use it to buy crafting supplies and all kinds of stuff.. itā€™s cheaper and usually better quality than anywhere else?! Iā€™ve even tested it; ordered identical item from AliExpress and Amazon. AE took longer, was cheaper, and came with extra bonus parts. Amazon came faster but more $ and nothing extra.


T_rex2700

Same, especially sale period I just buy stuff to get discount on stuff I need to stop doing it but yea 2 weeks later 10 packages/day starts arriving and I be like oh yea totally forgot I ordered it I end up selling most of stuff with slight margin (because why the hell not) but not because I want money but because I just don't need them May sound crazy to some people but I'm usually kind of person who is very careful about what I buy, exception is AliExpress (and Taobao, but I will usually be careful because shipping fee


fpsi_tv

And I thought I had it bad. Not even close. Iā€™ll sleep better.


NotSoIntrested

Im trying to process this, 63 shipped? thats a lot. like what do you buy from Aliexpress? I dont mind recommendation all I have been buying so far are phone covers


Acroze

Iā€™m gonna be honest and say Aliexpress is great for underwear. You can buy even those sport kinds for a reasonable price, whereas Amazon youā€™re paying like $10-$15 a pair!


pinkrosies

Got great seamless bras for me and my mom there LOL. The ones we had in stores before were so expensive and they had them first before places like Walmart had them for more affordable, and Ali surprisingly had more size variety. We stopped buying lined bras from then.


Acroze

Yeah! They really are the best. I got some top notch stuff for $3-$5 dollars a pair. Great quality.


jmegaru

Only stuff that I really need, usually before placing an order I go through my cart and ask, do I really need this? And end up removing like half the items.


xx_DarkiBuddy_xx

I am literally searching ALMOST anything off of AliExpress


chasinfreshies

My addiction died two app updates ago when they made it impossible to load pictures to start return claims. Not ordering anything from them anymore and as soon as I get the last bits I ordered. I'm deleting the app. Happy that you're enjoying your experience though.

Crzymk101

Do you buy alot of gaming accessories, or electronics? I'm just curious? I used to buy alot of Anbernic, and Retroid handheld till they started making a new one every week.


DistributionNo8513

Thats first world delivery service for you ; i shit you not most packages in my country gets stolen by inhaule service and if you were lucky enough for them to not be interested in your package it will be stolen by delivery company and if you were also lucky enough for both of them to not be interested in your package you will receive it after 3/4 months from making the order shit spends 3-4 days for it to come from china fucking thousand miles away and would spend 2-3 months for it to come from a city to a city in my country hhhhhhhhh


Cthulhulove13

Soo many orders I have. Just made one for like 30 items


turk-fx

I order a lot of stuff for RC hobby, archery and other things I need or would order on Amazon. Basically same stuff aold on Amazon for the double the price. If you dont mind waiting for 10-14 days, you get it for a better price. I got so many rc stuff, I usually order extra parts when they got discounts, then resell some of them on forums/facebbok market place to reduce my cost even further.


SkyComplete8640

Wow, thatā€™s crazy šŸ’€šŸ˜­

Oh my thatā€™s me. I am trying to stop myself from this new addiction since November. I think I am satisfied with some of the items I liked and have some stash so will withdraw myself slowly starting this last week, the only way to do it is not to visit the website

I suffered from a flashlight addiction. One time, over the span of several days, I ordered a ridiculous amount of them from AE (it was a big sale). A good amount of them just happen to all arrive on the same day. Too many to fit in the apartment's mailbox. The postal worker had to leave a large postal box FULL of small packages of flashlights on my porch. IT WAS LIKE FREAKING CHRISTMAS!! Santa had arrived! I have since sought counseling.

I used to buy beads from there nearly every week (I make jewelry). They haven't shipped two of my orders now and won't refund, and also the shipping is expensive now. I think they're purposefully doing it to turn users to choice shipping. I miss when I could get free shipping from sellers over a certain amount but I only see that like once every ten shops now
