    AliExpress - Who are people using?

    My cameras were not DOA. They were working. They were sold as International but they were Chinese with hacked software. Could not get them returned. Plus, there is a big difference between 149 and 600. Plus, I am sure you did not have to import back the tablet into China. If you buy a pair of...

    AliExpress - Who are people using?

    One clarification: You do NOT have to pay customs when importing CAMERAS into US. However, you have to pay customs when you import CAMERAS into China. This does not apply to other items like "make-up". Just certain electronics cameras included. Please NOTE: This is my experience and...

    AliExpress - Who are people using?

    Trust me guys, This shit started on 11 November 2014 and ended on 18 Feb 2015. I have tons of emails. I also complained at parent company alibaba. All I wanted was to return the cameras and be refunded. Nothing more. They dragged the dispute for months displaying that "dispute is in progress". I...

    AliExpress - Who are people using?

    Yes. You have a sale contract. As long as the shipment was confirmed and AE supports the sale the CC company cannot do much. Also, Aliexpress takes only Visa/MC. American Express is the card that has TRUE return protection. It is possible that there are Visa cards with better protection but with...

    Screwed by Aliexpress...

    I have used AE on many other items with good and OK success. I just don't use them on expensive items anymore. There are a lot of liars on there and it's just not worth the risk. If one has developed a relationship with a certain seller then it is a different matter. But, from what I can see the...

    AliExpress - Who are people using?

    It is rude to call people liars. I did buy fom Aliexpress and asked to RETURN the shipment and was told that I am responsible for customs. Checked customs rules and it surely says that cameras are taxable. The truth is that many sellers refund you the money or a portion of it to close disputes...

    AliExpress - Who are people using?

    I would frankly advise to use eBay rather than Aliexpress. The serious sellers have stores on eBay as well. Crooks stay on Aliexpress simply because Ali protects them. Another importand information is that if you ever want to return a camera the customs agreements require you to pay customs for...

    AliExpress - Who are people using?

    I am glad for this thread. Maybe we should give it a sticky. In any case the guy who screwed me from aliexpress is called Tom Tom from shop 321042. (see my post in "New member introductions") At the time the shop was called differently but he obviously pissed off many people so he had to change...

    Screwed by Aliexpress...

    Other companies sell at Home Depot. Not so sure about the nightmare. One could still hire a company to do full service install. Whatever. Don't want to start debate here. It was just an opinion. Current policy is idiotic and I have no doubt that they need to relax it.

    Screwed by Aliexpress...

    I figured I would share this story so that others can be warned: Sometimes late last year (2014) I got screwed by an Aliexpress seller. He sold me 3 cams (DS-2532-iws) international version but I received chinese with hack obviously for much higher price. I had asked him repeatedly if they were...

    Help! Can't get camera off chinese (2532 iws)

    Well, acvb it does seem that you choose to help some people and some not. So here is the answer: I got screwed by an Aliexpress seller. He sold me 3 cams international version but I received chinese with hack. I disputed on Aliexpress and in the process I HAD to demonstrate that the cam was...

    Help! Can't get camera off chinese (2532 iws)

    I have tried all possible hacks out there. My head really hurts and I have to ask for help. ds-2cd2532f-iws I bought 3 of these from alixpress last November . They had hacked English version 5.2.0. On One of them I upgraded with original 5.2.0 firmware and the obvious result was that I got...
