There was also the denim bag I got I had to superheat because it shipped with bedbugs.

They fought me and won that one and I'm still pissed. Fucker I do pest control. Ended up being a nice bag when I got it cleaned, though.

I've only had one bad experience, when my Totoro night light arrived shattered and they asked me to post back the dust and fragments to China

Guess I got lucky, I've heard of bad chinkings

Luckily they shit themselves when you PayPal dispute and after that they don't fuck you around anymore I find

I don't even get a please sir anymore, just direct to refund

lmao

pls sir

there, one on me.

did you actually ship the dust back 👀

Nah I told them that's ridiculous and I want my money

There was a tiny slip of paper inside to protect it, just a sliver

Box looked like it had been kicked

Just really shitty

I've been chinked most by ebay sellers which makes no sense because ebay fucks them the hardest

But I don't think it was their fault per se, two things were stolen on route to me

Still annoying getting a pls sir check your post office pls

not anything related to tech but idc

Yeah, I get that a lot from Aliexpress.

What's infuriating is when you try and go "Hey, no, it's Trudeau's dick blocking the warehouse, I'm fine waiting I just need you to give a month extension"

And you just get it again like they never read it.

There's an even better deal on the 4X at a specific location for the next 5 hours. https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_705127.html?wid=4

Gotta love those ultraspecific deals.

Can we use good boy points

<:thvnk:332928260004642827>

fuck me

NZD$176 for that is pretty compelling

but only 720p screen

i see now

but then you get pretty much all the cellular bands for NZ on that

WHAT

EVERY FROM NOW HAS THAT

OH MATE

THAT'S FANTASTIC

It's a Xiaomeme and people love the 4X probably because of the Miku tie-in.

I'm gonna try to get my mother onto a xiaomi soon

Father will get a phone update in a little while to S8

If my mother cannot get the handdown phone, we'll go to unlocked chinese phones if she would like

I'm trying to convince my family as well.

Only people who I could consider atm is my mother and younger brother

That light in the box Redmi Note 4a deal is compelling for families imo
