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

ALI - USD486.86
GEARBEST - USD204
BANGGOOD - USD20
FASTTECH - USD40
KAIDOMAIN - USD15

Total - 762USD, abouts

Not counting inflation

Back in the good ol days dollarydoos were cheaper, or my local currency was stronger

762 usd, and what has this given me?

Some second rate knives, a bunch of flashlight and tons of useless garbage

What are the 3 most expensive things you ordered straight from China?
