You keep using AliExpress you gonna get burned eventually. Even Chinese people don’t order anything off there.

Lol, I'm the type to put my hand in the fire to see if I can do it and avoid getting hurt. Turns out most of my ex's were psychopaths.
I have gotten a lot of good deals. Also won a lot of disputes. But yeah, I see on the net where a lot of people lose. On the other hand, I spend a lot of time lining up ducks. If I was to add in the cost of time and stress, I lose big time anyways.
It's not easy being super magoo consumer avenger.
It's too bad, there are good sellers on Ali. But the problem ones are around 1/3.
Strangely I haven't seen them, I've heard them mentioned from outside the country. To be honest I wouldn't pay twice the price anyways. I'm already rotating 7 daily, don't like rotating tanks on a single mod. I like the EVOLV chip, I am well aware of different issues with the Primo Mini. All things considered (including price), the mini wins.
You ever notice how Chinese made products many (exception here) have authenticity stickers, yet they're the clone kings of the world
I just wish that they could actually make exact clones of their own authentic mods. No two are alike. Even the Paranormals I end up discovering a minor flaw in their build. It's different on each mod and only the one with the hard 510 was a real issue, but jeeze, it's annoying.
I discovered the corner edge above the top screw sticks out a fraction of a millimeter making it feel a little sharp on the replacement. It took me two weeks before I noticed it. Now it's like having a pimple no one can see but you can't stop squeezing. It doesn't hurt anything, I need 4x glasses to see it, it's usually not normal to run your thumb across that area (until I discovered it, now I can't stop).
Actually the differences between Fasttech and Ali Express is a double edge sword.
The Fasttech Ships today and Ships next day are possibly better options over AE.
But In stock, Back ordered, Ships in X days is the same thing as AE, sometimes the same supplier(s). Which one really will post faster is an unknown when placing an order. One of my biggest complaints with AE is some sellers print the label, enter the tracking number and mark it shipped, but the package is not really posted for days after. The same thing happens at Fasttech.
It depends on a host of variables known and unknown
You can't depend on delivery time, so price is probably a better choice. AE does have a drop dead delivery date, if the item isn't delivered by that date you get a refund. Fasttech gives a date range, if you don't get it by then they tell customers to wait.
What?
I never had Fasttech ship anything to me the same day. The quickest I had ever seen them ship is at least 3 business days later. Often it is more like 5 business days later.
LOL, I guess they have some items listed as Ships Today and Ships next day. I've never experienced them, so I don't know. Have you ever purchased something listed as one of those two shipping "promises"?
And when you say "Shipped" do you mean they marked it shipped or they actually really posted it?
Giving a tracking number and actually really posting something is different, a good seller it is less than 24 hours on a business day, others it can be 3, 5, 7, 10.....
I've noticed with BuyBest, 3F, 2F, Crème de Vape when they say shipped it's posted in less then 24 hours, less than 12 hours most of the time.
Should add Jac Vapour to the list too.

I go by when they marked it as shipped. But I guess that really means it is packaged and ready to go to be shipped. It doesn't mean it actually went anywhere yet.
OMG whiplash, JAC Vapour out for delivery today by usps. I ordered it Monday. I think I made a mistake. I let the displayed price bother me. Decided to get the HCigar Nano at FT. Then couple days later I started drooling again, found 10% code for JAC. After putting in US address VAT disappeared and with the 10% it ended up as cheap as the Nano deal on FT. You have to pay shipping, but if I had known (what I know now) I would of gotten 2, maybe 3. Meanwhile the Nano sits in china, being prepared to come to the US from the wrong end of the country. FT also let me know (after 5 days) some item was discontinued, there were a couple of others already past their ship date waiting to actually get them. I cancelled that order. I've only dealt with them a couple of times but they never fail to let me down. I showed them though, I ordered another Nano for a few dollars cheaper from AE. That will teach them. I need professional help.
