EEVblog #1248 - INSANE A 0.02% Process Meter for $9? WTF

[amspire]

btw, how are some of you able to leave feedback when the seller has not shipped the item and therefore you can't confirm receipt of the item?

In my case with both Manbo and Cozy (AliExpress refunded the money), I had the opportunity to leave feedback after AliExpress decided on the refund to end the order. I didn't have the option of leaving feedback before then. Maybe you can if tracking shows the item "delivered".

I have had another item that AliExpress made me wait for. At the end of the protection period, they made me wait 10 days, and then they decided on another extra 10 days just because the tracking seemed to show it might still be in transit. They do refund the money at the end of the waiting, but it is annoying.

All this mess on all orders and nobody pointed who start this? Who made the call to help everybody jump on a cliff?

We are all adults here. One can jump off a cliff on his/her own will.

Got my few pennies back from dheadgate late last week and left 'appropriate' comments regarding the seller and the behavior.

There is a lesson to be learned here is that we the customers should not have to put up with this sort of sh1T and the sellers and platforms need to take their licks and make it work.

If you don't have or can't get in a timely manner and deliver on time for a price don't offer. It is really that simple!

Not as cheap as $9us but for $50.38 it's still a bargain you can't purchase here in Australia at this price.

Finally, Looks like I am getting it tomorrow, at least according to tracking, it should arrive tomorrow... It was ordered September 28'th, and it was refunded by AliExpress...

I don't have high hopes.. I did notice the same issue with shipping on a different order, from a different vendor, they upgraded to DHL express...

Oh look at the 1 post shill. Also check out the bargain listing (with no manufacturers logo so we know it is just the e-waste reject shit) it's now > $235 !!!



Though I am surprised that at least one of our highly esteemed regular Latvian posters appears to have ordered from this shill merchant. I mean what are the odds? (and I don't think for one minute he is such an idiot unless he has money and time to burn)



9$ was worth the "risk" seeing as Ali supposedly is risk free. I have now learned that perhaps it's risk free but you have to go through so many loops of providing evidence to clearly fraudulent practices, including admissions from the fraudulent seller that Ali subsequently ignore that it's been a revelation in how the Chinese do business. It's bordering on Google and Youtube levels of insanity.

I got a box, with a broken mug inside it... lol 

Glad I got my money back days ago..

[ArthurDent]

After refusing to cancel the dispute that 'My Cozy Life' wanted, AliExpress did step in after the time to resolve ran out, and came to a resolution. Now to see how long it takes to show up in my account.

This is very acceptable to me.  They oversold what they were promised by one of the suppliers.  It is common for suppliers to overstate to encourage enquiry.  If base on normal past sale which maybe few per month, then all shall be fine.  But Dave announce to the world, and all hell break loose.  If cozzy  store had given  me this reply, I would cancel the pending delivery right away.

You've been trolled all_repair. You think some chinese man named Pinocchio would tell you the truth and offer you a bootleg movie? Maybe you're trolling me.

[Nusa]

Well, at least they didn't use a fake tracking number in your case, Santa!


As for the second unit I ordered, I ended up with (fake or wrong) tracking info that showed delivery last month, but never arrived. Feeble attempt to refund via paypal, time ran out, and aliexpress gave me the refund.

I'm on day 50 now since this order was placed... Ali just told me that I should be responsible for not getting the package when it arrives.  I'm 100% certain they're not reading what I write or looking at the "evidence" because they actually think a package was sent. What part of this tracking data says legitimate package?  Also the order now just says finished. I'm confused how one order was refunded in a few days, and this one is almost 30 days. I hope they don't drag this on so long I can't leave 0 star feedback.

They got a good deal mate 

I would have chased them up for the chipped bits, and tube of super glue,

otherwise Extreme Prejudice Feedback  and minus 5 stars

Happened to mine.  I have to waste time with the chat line of the local post office to get their confirmation the tracking number wasn't to me and my address.  They could not tell me who the sender, nor the delivered address were.  I took a screenshot and posted it as additional evidence.  After 3 days, aliexpress judged that I got a full refund.  I gave aliexpress on their survey of the additional pain they have caused.

As of now the tracking number I've got shows 0 movement through any postal system. If only they'd sent something to someone I'd have a small amount of satisfaction.

Even if they had sent to someone a broken vase to have the right amount of weight, so the package had a greater chance of being received without suspicion?

I'd prefer to get nothing, than a broken vase that would be harder to refute as fraud, since something was sent and received.
The broken vase could be argued if it wasn't  switched with the real item by the costumer.

[all_repair]

For my case, there was no movement for a long time also.  They claimed they were using dpd, but no record from dpd.  After many weeks, got a notice it reached local airport, and 2 days later shown as delivered.  When it is shown as delivered, aliexpress gave me the 2nd judgment that they would release the fund to seller if I didn't object within 3 days.   Then you would have to get evidence to show the item wasn't delivered to you.

[ciccio]

I got a refund from My Cozy Life Store, and It was very fast because I opted for cancelling the dispute as asked by the seller.
I decided to leave non feedback, nor negative nor positive, just NO, because this story has exausted all my patience.
I ordered the meter just because I was curious, but this adventure took too much of my time.
I've found other sellers on AliExpress who have shown respect for me as a customer and have done their best to solve problems, so it's not AliExpress' fault, and I will buy there if needed.
Best regards
