My brother is autistic, and although he doesn't use online forums or social media, I'm trying to imagine what it would look like if he did. In any event, although I have worked with many autistic people in real life, I have no practice picking up cues online. Thanks for your apology, I accept it and hope you won't trouble yourself any more about it. Just consider this a learning experience.

Hi Toasaurus,
I ordered the Chilaintasaurus, Majungasaurus and the Sinraptor from Aliexpress last month, and today they arrived perfectly as expected, even if in my order it read Chilaintasaurus twice, although the photo belonged to a Chilaintasaurus and Sinraptor. So, no worries, everything will go as you ordered.
With regards to the shipping time, it said I would have it under the best scenario last Friday, and it arrived today! So, not bad at all.
Tomorrow I will try to post some pictures.

If you have doubts whether to buy from a broker or not, then you do not quite understand the concept of brokering. In my opinion, it can be dangerous to have deals with such people. As a possibility, you can read https://bowflex-review.com/ site and find reviews about broker caste. Maybe it will be helpful to you, who knows.

I got my Legacy Geosternbergia from there. It took a while, and they'd spam-email me about it as it made its way from China to the USA, and when it arrived, it arrived very well packed and safe. I would say that they won me over with that transaction.

I have switched from buying on Ebay to Alixpress for quite a few things.
Not all i need is available on aliexpress but what is, i order there. It comes very well packaged. Sometimes they add a little present like a Chinese character collectible card. They are cute written all in Chinese.
It does however take longer to arrive. But toys, seriously i can wait.
A plunger because my toilet is backed up i can't order from them 🤣
There are a lot of Ebay sellers offering " No returns" now and i really had to waste time arguing with some that don't send you what is advertised. "Brand new" and when it comes it seems it has been dragged behind a car for 7 miles (They put a generic pic in the auction not the real item).
So you have to send pics to them and they make you feel like you are a scammer.
Then they stop answering and Ebay refunds me.
I have been on Ebay for 24 years and my account is in good standing. Beware of the "No returns", favor "Returns accepted".
I m in the USA.

67% off Haolonggood from AliExpress seems too good to be true: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_oEKsSG3
Does anyone who uses Ali Express know if this is for real, what's the catch? The seller, Model Toy Shop Store, has a 99.1% rating, so I suppose it's all above board.

The catch seems to be that it's only a few figures on deep discount as most are 10% off or normal price. They probably overstocked them.
Trans rights are human rights.

I saw there was a widespread sale on AE on 3/17.

TL;DR : No. Use search for same item , you might find similar prices without any large discount.
For example:

This might be helpful for Aliexpress beginners:


Don't believe large discounts. Right now there are discount days for Aliexpress. Stores usually overprice items first and then makes it look like there are large discounts so they look more charming.

However in discount days there are still some offers a few dollar less than usual, sometimes Aliexpress offer discounts from coupons.

If you are not going to buy in discount days, use coins page to search the item you want. If you collected some coins before, you can use a small amount of it (still a bit more than non-coins page) if you click "buy it now." instead of add to cart.

I think mobile app has coins advantages compared to using computer.

I bought plenty from Model Top Store, Model Toy Center , My Online Toy Store they are all good.
