How safe is Alibaba? Better than eBay?

What happens if you don't receive your items? I know it says you receive a full refund, but hows the process?

Ordered something last year September. Left there, never arrived in SA. Been asked to wait for a few weeks for shipping - but with our postal situation backlog, I don't expect to get it anytime soon :/ I get the impression that they are quite willing to give a refund - and if the buyer refuses, Alibaba will force it from them

Aliexpress is more geared towards single item buys while the Alibaba arm of the business is geared towards more bulk(ier) business buys. They are second only to ebay when it comes to protecting the buyer. As always read up and check out the seller as you would on ebay!

I ordered a few items from eBay last year over September - October and I haven't received any of them yet.

Last week I received an order which I placed in December. I think the parcels that arrived in SA while the postal strike was on can be written off

Actually! Hold that thought :D

I completely forgot about the parcel until it was brought up in this thread. So I've just checked, and it seems to have just left customs! :)

How exciting haha

That's great, I hope my orders eventually come through as well ☺
 
Mine arrived, its brilliant! Handles games nicely, video recording is decent, no lag noticed; nice substitute for the DSTV Walka and larger screen too. Came with R500 in Kalahari vouchers to use, and a MWEB wifi voucher!
Ordered and paid via eft. Surprised eft is not an immediate connection/link. Hopefully payment reflects tomorrow and get it by next week.
 
Tutorial on how to remove all the bloat?
Me too - tutorial please.

Edit - sorry didnt read. See apps removable. Fact one can use as a phone cool. Might be useful.

Thats the point - at R899 its value for money and why ordered one although I dont need it

Feeling horrible and chuffed at the same time. If ever there was a bargain in this thread ... and there is still some vouchers to come.
