Back in May I ordered a Miniware L1060 active load from Ali. Everything went well, got my tracking number and waited. Then tracking showed that the delivery was sent to a local delivery center, followed by "Delivery attempt unsuccessful". Putting the tracking number in USPS tracking (US postal service), I get "Label Created, not yet in system". After a few weeks I tried to contact Ali, but was forced to use their automated system "idiot AI" to eventually get a live chat. I was told that I needed to follow up with USPS. I contacted USPS who told me that they do not as yet have the item, and therefore have no new information in their system. I went back to Ali who said I needed a document from USPS that it was not received. I went back to Ali and USPS several more times. Ali insisting I needed a letter from USPS and USPS saying we have nothing, and the message/statement on their tracking was the only information available. Visits and calls to USPS resulted in them only having the tracking info (not received yet) and Ali insisting I needed a document from USPS. I did forward a screen shot of USPS tracking info and a link to the tracking site, but they insisted I needed a document from USPS. I attempted (through chat as the only contact) to expedite or get an email address of someone who cared, with the only answer being we need a document from USPS. In the end it is now 7 months later, USPS is still waiting for the item, Ali not doing anything and me being out $200 !
I had some delivery issues with Ali in the past, but they were resolved with a refund. Now I do not trust that Ali would follow up with any issue to a customer's satisfaction. Still to today USPS tracking still shows waiting for the item, and Ali having closed out the order. Ali seems to have no path to be able to contact anyone to complain, and the "wonderful" service chat contacts do not want to believe the USPS tracking website information. I can say that from China eBay and BangGood have been reliable suppliers.
Have any of you had an issue like this with Ali ?
