Aliexpress Marketplace practices, be for warned.

I got a fake product, wanted to return it, but useless customer support were bouncing me around. Procedure is definitely made like that on purpose, so you can never get a refund. 

In the end, i opened a complain at paypal, uploaded photos of a fake product, explained that happened, and they refunded me fully. 

But yeah, Aliexpress is only for things you can afford to lose or not get any support. 

"...counterfeit and fake Chinese junk?", you ask?

This morning CNN carries the dogs-painted-as-pandas story.

Markets of appearance over substance, it would seem.

I don’t get it. You ordered from a foreign seller, known to be overseas. You deliberately ordered replica products. You changed your mind midstream. 
 

I can’t cancel Amazon if it’s shipped. Monoprice same. I recently ordered a $650 replica amplifier, came within 7 days, was well reviewed and many had sold. 
 

Caveat emptor. But to blame the vendor for not allowing themselves to be subject to the whim of a global market ignores why you are using that marketplace. 

I use Amazon too, almost for everything thing. 🙄.
Even they allow you to cancel within a certain time period after an order has been placed. True, if to late you have to receive and return but in these cases it just a trip to my local Whole Foods and the return is easily complete.

i do agree with “buyer beware”, but Amazon doesn’t have fake knockoffs, ie AudioQuest products.

BTW, Monoprice has good products. Good choice. 👍

Buy the ticket.. take the ride.
