That's interesting Lister..never was brave enough to order anything from Aliexpress...mostly because the don't accept Paypal...but a Chinese copy of it...thing about the site was the Tanks never caught my interest..because in most cases the tanks were very overpriced...the listings of parts were good...especially since they seemed to have a seller who sounded like she was a direct connection to HengLonglister fiend wrote:Hi marc,
I can have a good guess at what will happen here.
Having bought five panzer iii's from aliexpress.
In 5-7 days you will get a notification that it's been sent.
The tracking number will be wrong.
You'll query this of course but will receive silence in return.
Two days later aliexpress will be in touch to say
Your order has been frozen & that the seller is under investigation & has 3 days to
Show shipping receipts.
3 days later your money will be refunded.
Shame but true
All 5 have been pretty much like this
But after dealing with the China based HobbyRaw... I felt it was too much of a risk...dealing with those guys sounds exactly what you describe about Aliexpress... the one exception "Paypal" ... to which I had to open a case against them before getting any response...reason I put them on the Vendor Blacklist
Anyway I hope this isn't the case with Marc's purchase..It's the hardest thing to deal with in this Hobby.. finding reputable vendors
Carpe Diem Everyone...Marc.. I hope things work in your favor
