So, I ordered a small wave maker, around $50.00 CAD, and I knew when I ordered it, that it would take about 2+ months to get.
That said, when I started to look at the tracking, it showed that the seller shipped the item, and it was returned. Not once, but the shipper sent it out 14 times, it was given to line haul, to the Airline and returned.
This has been going on for 2 months, the item never ever made it out of China. So I talked to Customer service and tried to explain that it was obvious that this Seller did not know how to put a package together that would allow it to leave China, Eva at Customer service was very nice and said that she would escalade a dispute to get me a refund. 24 hours later I received an email from Aliexpress that stated that now the package has been shipped once more, and to give the Seller until December 15 to get the item to me. Well it was shipped, and now the item once more has been returned.
The Seller sent me a text saying how sorry he was, and that if I wanted the item, to order it from another website and he would ensure that the package would get to me in 10 days. So what he is asking me to do is to pay twice for one item, and based upon his history with shipping, good luck.
All I can say is if you are going to buy from Aliexpress, do your homework, the Seller I am dealing with shows a 97.4% plus rating, go figure. I will see what happens on December 15th.
