Anybody ever order from AliExpress? Is it a reliable site?

Hit and miss.

Overall, it's been reliable but the sellers are in China so the shipping is slow and there's a language barrier when communicating.

I've never been scammed before but sometimes I order something on AliExp and the seller immediately says it is sold out or says the price was incorrectly listed. I immediately got refunds so no problem there but it was frustrating to order again elsewhere.

I was tempted to order a second Mars Mr. W. figure (Keaton Bruce Wayne) - AliExpress has some for cheap but not in-stock. From what I understand, it is a big no-no to preorder on ebay/aliExpress since your purchase protection rights may run out prior to the figure being released.

Royal Mail are useless. 5pm still no delivery, can't wait in any longer so had to have it sent to the post office. Hopefully collect it tomorrow.

Don't get me started waited 20 days for a customs invoice after they refused to talk to me got the invoice after 8 calls only to find the parcel is heading back to Australia.

Royal mail has gone to

Wow. Their 66 Joker was my 2023 FOTY, and this one is going to be in the running for 2024. Keep this **** up Mars.

Whatever happened to Michael's Reviews Figure of the Year awards? Does he still do that?

I can hear that music cue when Batman drops...

Are all y'all on 4px coming from Kit?

Yup 4px from OSK. I'm not using the 4PX website to track though. Using the 17Track and Packages apps.

I don't think so I could've sworn I heard he got a little intense with political conversations on his facebook page a while back. Not sure if he just stopped reviewing collecting or even still with us. I know when I try to got to his old site, I get kicked back saying that it's not a secure site.

EDIT: as DiFabio has shown further down, Michael is still doing figure reviews so I have crossed through parts of my post that are inaccurate.

Whoa, weird. He was a staple for at least the first 10 years of this hobby.

Using the 17Track and Packages apps.

17Track is my go to, the layout is the best by far.

I usually use that site but in my case, the tracking number Kit gave me doesn't show up on 17track, says "Australia Post - unknown". But the number shows up on several other tracking sites.

Yea, I just like to have multiple b/c some will update faster than others at times as well as possibly give more information. I also use AfterShip but not as much as the other two.

Mine initially defaulted to Australia Post as well when I first put it in 17Track. Once I manually changed it to 4PX, it showed all the updates/movement

Yup. Real sad. I used to love his reviews even when you could tell he was a bit biased (like with Star Ace) as well as his SDCC and other convention coverage.

SF-international is also a great one, those are the only two I typically use.

Oh, you're right. I have two packages from Kit with unusual "OLS" tracking numbers so I thought that's what was throwing it off.

 

[aragen]

I believe so mine gave me an arrival date of Feb 5

It cleared customs. It's in the US.
No ETA yet.

Cool, glad to see he's still around. Odd that google kicks his website back for me. I'll edit my previous post

Same with other websites. It's doing that Austrailian tracking for some odd reason.

Still sitting after cleared customs yesterday 15 min from me
