I have literally spent more than £1000 , maybe even £2000

oh master teach me your ways

every bunch of pennies here and there adds-up to many pounds/dollars. whenever there's something small/frivolous I need, I order it from China and wait 3 weeks for it to arrive

@Speshu No way to check amount spent without counting it yourself, right?

dustcaps, brake pads, handle grips for my bike, melamine sponges for abrasive cleaning, adapters, solder, solder flux, LEDs, screwdriver bits, torches, 18650 batteries, dremel grinding discs, screen protectors, capacitors, resistors, voltage converters, flash carts, ferrite chokes, SD card reader, earbuds, non-slip furniture pads, mini fans, HDMI cables, mouse pads ,,,

all these things I have bought on Aliexpress, and a few more expensive things like my Smartphone, SCART to HDMI converter, and 2 Tigernu bags

@Speshu are chink bike brake pads worth it?

Okay, checked

486.86 United States Dollars spent on ali

did you just manually add it up

maybe he only had 4 orders

<:googlethink1:328536264292827139>

Yes

I did

16 pages of orders

Now I'm off to calculate banggood, fasttech, gearbest...

that sounds like effort

Yep

Ah shit, my points are gone on gb

@Sapharanth

Dear god

Fucking gearbest

How could I have spent so much in there

I just checked my bank account online, it took me a while because they only let me check my statement in 6 month segments at a time for some reason

TOTAL OUT: £1642.33 (money I spent on Aliexpress) TOTAL IN: £75.43 (successful refunds)

that's in Great Brittish Pounds

Neat

Mine doesn't let you sort by recipent though

When did you start using ali? I started in Dec 2016

1st order was a credit card sized fold-able knife thing, Sep. 18 2016

@Speshu are chink bike brake pads worth it?

because i'm lazy i just automated it, so have this

@Julian havn't had much chance to use them yet, fitted them today, but as far as I can tell they're perfectly fine

how much cheaper they were than local alternatives?

also can you post link to them

quite a-lot cheaper actually

where I got mine https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-1-Pair-2pcs-Mountain-Bike/32968687334.html

I bought number 14, the round black ones

they even came in a retail blister pack

oh I thought you bought V brake pads, but they should be cheaper and just as good as local too probably

mine are super duper worn out
