RE: digital paper last night: Turns out roommate didn't return Boogie Board Blackboard yet, got to give it a try. Super neat gadget, but that one has a whole replaceable backdrop thing so you can have lines or dot grid or whatever, and it's shit trying to get pages in and getting them to stay in. Ended up ordering...

```You're an idiot if you buy anything from Aliexpress.
If you think you're ordering something legit, you're getting a bootleg.
If you think you're ordering a bootleg, there's no guarantee you'll even get it.
And if you never get the package, there's no reason for aliexpress to step in and help.
It's China run by China. There's nothing you can do. You could say it's like Chinatown.

1/3 of the time I order from Aliexpress I don't get what I ordered.
1/3 of the time I don't get anything at all, fake tracking, etc.
1/3 of the time I get what I ordered and there's something fucky going on.

They don't accept paypal, and you're a monumental idiot if you give them a real CC number. If your CC doesn't provide fake numbers, find another avenue. Cause someone is bound to fuck you.

Your only option is to pursue a chargeback from your CC company, which Aliexpress will not make easy for you, and ban you outright for the attempt. And if you have to do it more than once, your CC will start asking why you keep buying from known scammers.

In summary: Fuck Aliexpress.```

based

that's still only 33%

out of 100%

and if we round it down, its 30%

so only 3 out of 7 orders are messed up

o.O

Lolwut. Ive had hundreds of orders and issues are rare.

my boi is just unlucky

I mean, major issues. Things like taking too long to arrive I don't really factor in, because if it was super important and time sensitive I would be buying it elsewhere. And you gotta go in knowing what to expect for quality.

I've only had one major issue, and a couple minor ones worth mentioning out if 600-700 orders?

i copied it from a post shitting on ali

I figured.

it makes good copypasta material tbh

Yeah.

Hell, I've even successfully had to call my credit card company to get a transaction refunded and I didn't lose my account, lol

Not sure if they actually passed the chargeback to Ali or just ate the cost themselves though. It was the laser engraved debacle last year. Ordered from a vendor shipping from US, then they shipped it from China, and it wouldn't arrive in time for Christmas. Ali would only offer a half refund, so I just called CC and reversed the whole thing. Then the thing ended up arriving with time to spare anyways, lol.

@Jignx He's an idiot

your order has been shipped, dear

@PoliteSuka why is your Ali avatar a pixelated prolapse

No

@Jignx where's the epic C-pop propaganda music

I can't watch a Douyu video like this

anyone familiar with the fake airpods

does the tws series have any actual differences between i7 i9 i12 etc

TWS i7?

Dunno sorry

I think they did at one point, newer models would have higher numbers, but now it means nothing because people starting one upping eachother

yeah makes sense

It's like having a Super Mario 17

No point to it

true

only difference I have seen between the models is some have flat bottoms

they have same specs etc

Ur mum has a flat bottom

me mum dead

Nice

Digital notepads, mouse cord holders, anime titty mousepads, giant custom mousepads, huge cheap power banks... What other relatively cheap neat little gadgets and accessories are there? Christmas is coming up, trying to find some small but fun stuff for some friends.
