so yay or nay ordering from aliexpress? and can you order multiple items at once like with temu have never used aliexpress i haven't even registered yet but i need items which isn't available at a reasonable take an l if it doesn't work out

You can order multiple things at once, but even if it's all from the same seller they often will split the order up and make your life a misery in terms of the fees that you have to pay when it arrives this side

Is it normal for the seller to ask for more money after you pay ? They saying the shipping costs in your country are higher?

No, probably best to cancel the order and order it from a different seller if possible.

I thought something was up. Apparently a common scam. They didn't ship so a automatic refund was done but sheesh thinking I will pay $55 for shipping

if Aliexpress standard shipping (tracking unavailable) is the only shipping method shown, does this guarantee SAPO will be used?

Last time I looked it's impossible to know how it will ship unless it lists the carrier specifically. That's why I haven't bothered ordering anything from them.

No it could still come with SpeedyAf or one of the other couriers

RPCS3 warns of fake Blu-ray drives flooding Newegg and AliExpress after adding PS3 disc support
The fakes use older, incompatible mechanisms inside high-end drive shells, with spoofed firmware to look legitimate, but they can't read PS3 discs.

thanks seems like it will cause misery and might not be as cheap as it seems hopefully they can be more like temu in regards to shipping and delivery

Haven't even used them in ages because the last time I needed something the shipping cost alone made the entire exercise a waste of time.

I wonder how temu does it.

In my experience, AliExpress Super Economy Global uses SAPO and AliExpress Standard Shipping uses Speedaf/Meili. Unfortunately AliExpress Super Economy Global is only available on super low value items. As others have said on this thread, SAPO usually gets the customs duty right, while Speedaf just makes the numbers up.
