Aliexpress Marketplace practices, be for warned.

I would like the audiophile community to know that Aliexpress will not stand to help buyers from vendor fraud of products purchased off of their website.  I recently order fake Audioquest cables from [Vipeos - HiFi Store] and was denied my cancellation even though placed  within a 24 hour period.  They promises no charges will post before shipping happens but as a fact my credit card was posted a charge within 12 hours.  Expected delivery time is about 2 weeks but still the vendor refuses to stop shipment and refund my card.  They rather I receive, send back, and ultimately get credit vs cash back.  So be aware of this type of practices Aliexpress is allowing to happen within their commerce market place.

Ali is risky for sure but I have purchased tubes and recently a LHY clock.    No problems and fast shipping.  

It all depends on the vendor.  There are some sketchy one and some good ones.  I used PayPal each time.  

Yes I understood the risk , but was willing to take a chance , and that's what you are doing .

"We wanted to do a cable review real vs fake.  Guess they didn’t like that idea. "

How did they know that was what you were doing? Did you tell them?

Just what I was wondering.

Had two picks in the queue, and I asked a question to eliminate one. I used the communications button to narrow the choice. He seemed very helpful with advice. We talked about fake vs real cables. Bad choice of questions I guess?


I was just being tongue & cheek when I said he didn’t like my question. Actually he was eager to assist. Sure?

Aliexpress don't have return policy. See elsewhere to buy the same.
