Yep. Happens to me all the time. Including
>being asked to pay extra shipping with tokens
>being asked to buy something else from their store to spend more
>being told its because of the deals aliexpress puts on they dont get any money
>being told they need more to feed their poor family.
I had order and cancel 10 times once to eventually find a seller with stock to sell.
Only bonus is that in most cases I get a full refund because order doesn't arrive for over 40 days or tracking simply stops working during last mile.

man I wish they'd crack down on it, good to know I'm not crazy.
I only buy from there because I'm non-US and the shipping is cheap. And they're often the last place to have stock.

with aliexpress I never even try to buy off the lowest price sellers for any given item, most of them seem to do this without fail

In the end, got her from a local seller.

This happened to me the first (and last) time I used them. Found the figure came back in-stock at a legit place for around the same price.

Here's an example of the shit I deal with. No regrets on having everything refunded for late delivery.

imo it's a phishing scam. I would order some bootleg toys and some of them would not update shipping. Weeks later i have random charges on my card. My fault for using the card directly instead of using paypal

Lowest prices are always either bootlegs or they offload the cost to shipping, and the cheapest alternative I can find with free shipping comes up to roughly the same price as those cheaper ones that charge for shipping.

such a pain trying to compare sellers since they randomly distribute it between shipping and the listed price

Yeah ali sucks I only use it as a desperation last resort. Has anyone ever received anything in a cardboard box? I only ever get things sent in a plastic bag with a thin layer of bubble wrap which results in the figure packaging getting absolutely demolished

Why is Americans' response to any minor inconvenience always "just sue them bro"? It's months of hassle, stress, and legal fees. You would never do it yourself.

I've bought a few dozen things off Aliexpress over the years and only ran into a problem once with a seller I bought Snail Shell Aileen from. They contacted me immediately after purchase with some crap about shipping prices going up and it would cost more money. Contacted customer support and cancelled immediately. Like anywhere else, helps to make sure they've got good feedback(like 95%+) and that they're not too new, so they have something to actually lose.

Cardboard boxes from Ali are rare, but I usually get stuff in styrofoam boxes inside of a mailer or wrapped in the thicker bubble wrap like picrelated. My boxes almost always have a little wear, but rarely too bad.
