AliExpress order issues


With all the comments about  how good the 'Nordost' cables from AliExpress were, I decided to order some back in April. Got confirmation, and the usual location status updates- shipped, left country of origin, in receiving country, with local carrier, out for delivery...then crickets. No cables, no updates, nothing. Then about a week after the last update I get a "There was a problem delivering your order". that's it. No explanation, no what to do now, no refund coming, no anything. That was the final communication. I had to open a dispute with my CC company to get a refund. Has this or similar happen to anyone else?

@mahgister ,

Ah, Joyeux Anniversaire mon ami! Or I should say Bonne fete!

A birthday mate to you.

My cable is allegedly due on the 13th. We shall indeed see, my friend. I believe fortune will smile smile upon us and we shall both receive our orders.

Thanks  my friend...

It was the only expanse i could thought about after recuperating my SPS NOS dac for the Sansui alpha and the K340...

My headphone listening is now my main  attentive and more focussedlistening  as my small speakers are for relaxation ...

We will give our impressions then ...

Good night ...And good day tomorrow...

 

 

Wonders never cease! I actually received my 'Neardost' Odin Gold's yesterday. Not sure if they're the ones I ordered in April or the recent ones I just ordered. I put them in last night between my Mytek dac and Aria integrated. Started with a CD from my Audio lab transport. Speakers are Ascend Acoustics Sierra lx. If you're in the market for a terrific sounding stand mount at a very reasonable price, you gotta try these Sierras. The new cables replaced a set of my old ZU mission interconnects. No comparison. The Neardost are really impressive. Newly put in the detail and clarity are really something. I know the ZU's aren't high end, but they're not shabby either. Well, yes they are compared to the counterfeit Nordost. Very happy with them. And for 50 bucks with shipping, simply exceptional.

@mahgister ,

I think you'll be quite happy Mon Ami! A summer mate for both of us!

I just received it today...I ordered it to imitate your fate for the good or for the worse...

I will listen to  it tonight (but i guess it will take much break-in) I use it for my headphone of choice for meditative listening after midnight ...Not for the small active speakers i listen to all day...

but i realized i pay mine 100 bucks...( in canadian then your 50 is near 70 canadian then i pay for it 30 canadian bucks more ) cool

I forgot to ask you the price before ordering... 

Anyway  it is my incoming birthday gift then...And if they beat my cheap chinese one i will be in heaven...

My AKG 340  is my best friend with you here ...

 

 

I cannot wait to listen to them ...

 See you soon my friend...
