I checked my own orders page. Out of the last 21 orders I've placed with Aliexpress, for everything from beastbox to blindbox, I've actually gotten exactly 7 of them.Those just aren't good odds.
5 orders were cancelled as out of stock even though the pages said they had plenty. 1 gave me a fake tracking and I had to wait 4 weeks to open a case, which I won.
A whopping 8 sellers immediately messaged me after I placed the order, and requested anywhere from $10-15 in "additional postage" or "freight costs" or somesuch bullshit scammer talk. And when I refused, they asked me to cancel the order from my side. They CAN cancel orders, but they never will, because it looks bad for their store, and their game plan is always to keep the scam running as long as they can.
You can select reason for cancellation "seller asking for more money" and then report them. Which you should. That's why there are so many sellers who pop up who are only a month or two old, and why you should never trust them. They get their stores closed pretty soon once the scamming starts in earnest.
Part of the problem is that you can't leave feedback for sellers unless you complete the order, and scammers know how to game the system. If you won't agree to whatever extortion they throw at you, the order gets cancelled, your payment is refunded, and you can never leave the store feedback about their transgression, so no one ever gets warned until after the fact.
