New on Aliexpress

[DinoToyForum]

Aliexpress seems to be gaining momentum and is perhaps beginning to push up against Ebay? If so, it deserves a thread of its own.

Most obviously at the moment it is a good source for Vitae:

I've added an AliExpress coupon to the side bar of this thread. Let me know if it is any good, if not, I'll remove it.

I have a suggestion for the buyers on Aliexpress: using the Aliexpress App (instead of your browser) you could have a discount on the regular selling price.
The App is available for iOs and Android.

There are also discounts and coupons available via browsers, for new users at least. Not sure which route is better value.

I ordered two Vitae figures yesterday from Aliexpress: Sinraptor and Zhejiangopterus.
The "your order has shipped" email I received today showed two different figures: Chilantaisaurus and Zhejiangosaurus.
I emailed them to point out this discrepancy. We'll see what they say, and what arrives in the mail...
I'll let y'all know what turns out.

What happened to you reminded me of something said by people I know who often use Aliexpress: "You buy a lot of good and cheap things on that site, but, if you will get what you asked for... that's another story. "


However, look on the bright side, our orders are coming much faster to our mailbox than before and some sellers are struggling to respond to complaints about incorrect products, wrong dresses sizes or dubious quality of material compared to the description in the page.

At the moment, I've only had one order ship incorrectly, and it was from a seller who had a 4.8 in satisfaction rating (below average). It was refunded decently quickly and I didn't have to ship it back.
Overall solid experience. Have not grabbed the VITAE from the site yet, however.

I do not know if it's interesting for someone, but ebates gives 3% cashback (and sometimes, Coupons) for purchases made on Aliexpress.

A little off topic, but is Ebates safe? I was wondering how the system works and how they make money as a company.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just did some research.
Thanks for this!

That's very unfortunate, I hope you can get it sorted out.

Thanks buddy. I'm sure it'll all work out. The email link I followed was to the seller, who said the shipper sends what is pictured. If so, they'll get one figure right. But we'll see...

Im confused on which vitae figures are which cause of the confusion but i really want to get them cheap with out accidentally orderingn the wrong figure

When I ordered Sinraptor and Zhejiangopterus, I noticed a discrepancy with the URL for the Sinraptor. When I clicked on the Sinraptor link, the page text said Sinraptor, and the photos were Sinraptor, but the URL referred to Chilantaisaurus. And the email confirming my order read "Chilantaisaurus" while the pictures show Sinraptor. The seller tells me I will receive what is pictured, which is what I want in Sinraptor, but regarding my Zhejiangopterus order, I know I clicked on and paid for the pterosaur, but the confirmation email reads and shows images of the nodosaur Zhenjiangosaurus. 

So until the package arrives, I don't know what I'm getting, and from other posts, it sounds like I won't be the first if I don't get what I ordered. An annoying inconvenience, but really no big deal; if the figures are wrong, I'll start the process of getting a refund or getting the right figures sent.

worth noting, as Toasaurus predicted, I did receive the Sinraptor and Zhejiangopterus that I wanted.  And in just 16 days from ordering. I may use Aliexpress again! Happy!
Thanks. That's what I'm hoping to see when it arrives.
