I too have had good experiences ordering from AliExpress. No hiccups whatever in payment, receipt or condition of the items. My last order arrived in 8 days.
I have not tried to cancel an order right after I placed it.
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.

@danmar123 , bought the same cable from Aliexpress used in bi-amp setup. Top quality cable. Also have returned couple of items, due to poor workmanship mainly, credits went through OK, no real trouble. For assembled power cables, I always IR test at 500V, check polarity and tightness of connections before installing. Assemblers often wire power cables wrong, but for the price, about a tenth of the real thing, well, a little bit of work, I don't mind. Aliexpress do sell items like DACs they do state genuine, and this is reflected in the price. 99% of the time if the article is genuine, the price is higher than I can buy locally from an authorized distributor for any Fiio or Denefrips product for recent searches. Cables are a low risk product, not much to go wrong really, but a DAC or Amplifier that you want to spend serious money on, is best spent at locally dwindling dealers. |
@rms456 I'm glad to see someone else discovered this cable. I've posted on a few threads since my discovery a few years ago. Only trying to help fellow DIY'ers. When I made my purchase from the North American supplier it was only for 12''. That suppier made me a cable for the jumper on my Crossover & that wasn't cheap, but was better than the original from the networks builder. I immediately noticed the improvement on my install & went ahead & ordered from Chinese distributor. I also was schooled from one of the members here (no names) on what type of metal for my banana plugs I should use. Thanks again! Good thing Amazon has a 30 day return policy so I made a comparison on the plugs 2 different metals. Now I haven't purchased any electronics from overseas, & can't comment on that. |
