Now how does one send a picture of completely missing goods. I'd like to know. :-//

That problem is what "Tracking" is supposed to solve? - mind you, it doesn't always. Sometimes the post office messes up the delivery, it gets marked as "Delivered" but ends up at someone else's house...

I have a lot of products from aliexpress and I have no problems with this.

Then you are either very lucky or simply clueless about what you got.

With just a bit more you can get crystals from a major Chinese brand with a clear English datasheet on LCSC, still 90% cheaper than a western brand on Digikey.
The problem is some people buying from Ali are looking into shaving off the last 1/10 cents and race down to the absolute bottom.
The 10/90 rule is in most case correct. I'd certainly pay 10% the price for 90% the quality, but at that point, I've already saved 90% of the money and there's no need to risk stepping in the territory of sub-10%.
Greediness has to have a limit. Otherwise sooner or later some idiot is going to put a fucking capacitive dropper in a phone charger. I'm not even joking if you watch Big Clive's teardowns.

They were not THAT cheap. And I can buy similar crystals from LCSC for 30% of the price I bought those for.
