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?

@thecarpathian Hope all goes well with the  Odin Gold purchase.  They are very nice cables especially for their price. I went all in with them a few years back.  I have since upgraded IC’s and power cables to Audio Envy which I like better. Recently I made a bigger step up to Veritas IC’s and a few power cables and they are much better but cost much more and are still a great value for their excellent  much improved performance.  I still use the Odin IC’s on my Subs, the Odin power cables on my home theatre set up (amp, power conditioner and sub) and all of my ethernet cables.  Just ordered Veritas ethernet cables to see if improvement can be heard.  I’ve been amazed what a differece cables make in a revealing system. Fun to play around with!

Hope it shows up.  I just received an Odin Gold USB cable from Ali RM Digital(ordered July 19). 

I recently installed a streamer and to get it up and running I was using just a basic usb cable I had on hand.  I was looking for a good, used cable and hadn't found one before I ran across discussions on the Ali n-dost cables.  Before today I was a bit of a cable agnostic.  Listening to my system after putting the Odin cable in (streamer to DAC)..buying that cable was a very good move. I went from a very basic cable to something (who knows how much) better. Very pleased with the purchase.  The system has never sounded better. I'm pretty surprised. 

I decided to beat the odds and order from aliexpress an Odin Nordost  golden cable for serving my Sansui alpha driving my headphone K340...( My actual one is a cheap one so to speak) 

It is my birthday gift from me to me ...

Perhaps i will be more lucky than my friend thecarpathian... If not, we will be brother of misfortune...

@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.
