A online store at Aliexpress;
I do beleive they did commit a fraud against me... and possible many others.
I am writing this soo others could learn from my mistakes.
..... if it seems too cheap to be true..... it is probably not true...
Dont buy it !!!
I ordered a batch of 4x 320Ah LiFePo4 3,2 volt cells
The price was pretty good, taxfree, and free shipping.
The customs in my country dont dick around.... Already on that "taxfree" I should have moved on.
In fact the price was maybe too good to be real...
But.. cheap cells.. are like cheap flights... it makes you close your eyes for the smoke.
I did check the review section for the product.
There was no customers review at all.... none.. zero... nada
New product? Must be
My internal bell was probably ringing.. but again... it was a pretty sweet deal
After some messages the seller provided a tracking number.....
and after some searching I found a app that picked up info about the cells travel to my country.
Every now and then new info came.... suddenly the shipment was in my country.. and cleared by customs.. and on its way.
Pretty fast... probably too fast... but still.. a sweet deal.
Then it was silent for weeks.. a month
No new movement... no tracking info.. no nothing
Been waiting now for more than 75 days.
My Aliexpress "Byers Protection" is running out.
Why not ask seller? So I did.
The seller could provide a screenshot from a tracking "engine"
And suddenly the cells had been delivered to my mailbox 6-7 weeks ago.
The app I had been using now suddenly also showed delivery 6-7 weeks ago also
Even though I had been watching the app every day since I first found it.
At this point I did what I should have done in the first place;
I did read the feedback section for the store (at Aliexpress)
Not only the product review section.. but the store feedback section.
Every day new complaints do appear about the store.
Every day customers got burned and lost their money.
I have now claimed my money back from Aliexpress.
I guess this will take some time.
While I am waiting... every day new cases show up in the store feedback section.
Increasing numbers of customers getting ripped off... every day.
Why does Aliexpress leave them stores open?
Aliexpress must know this is a fishy store.
Aliexpress must know that they are letting them criminals take customers money big time.
Why dont they shut them down?
And the store that ripped me off?
OLOPKY B Store
Store stats should give a clue;
8,5% of customers was positive
That leave a whopping 91,5 % unhappy customers.
And this is for the last month only.
At the moment I am kind of pissed;
But I do believe Aliexpress with their "Byers Protection" will judge in my favor and give me my money back.
And if not... I got hopes for PayPal... and in the end for my credit card issuer. One step at the time.....
To be honest; This is also dragging Aliexpress down
If we customers cant trust the online stores at Aliexpress... the website will go down the drain also.
I have been travelling a little bit more than the average Joe.
Over the years I have visited more than 130 countries around the globe... several times
Yes I have been ripped off in some of them... several times...
but then its on another level.. had a beer but charged for two...
But still; most of them countries and their inhabitants do have some kind of moral.
In my experience there is one country that stick out more than other.
I am not mentioning any name...... you can probably figure that one out
A funny story;
A friend of mine bought a pair of new shoes from a street vendor.
New shoes on his feet, and the old ones in the trash.
He was a pretty good looking dude when he walked down the streets of Shanghai in the early 80´
He was funny as hell when it started to pour down.
The rain dissolved his new shoes... that probably was made of paper...
Funny as hell seing them shoes clinging high up on his legs.
Now.. 40 years later... them cheap shoes still make me laugh.
Back to the store that ripped me off; stay clear;
