Dear Al, I wanted to share my recent experiences on AliExpress, as I believe they reflect a pattern of deceptive practices by most sellers. I made three separate purchases, and in each case, I encountered issues that left me feeling scammed. Toolbox Purchase ($15): I ordered a $15 toolbox and received only a 10-cent screw instead. The entire process took about two weeks for delivery, followed by another 1-2 weeks to file a claim and receive a refund. Chair Purchase ($35): I bought a chair for $35. While a tracking number was provided, the item was intentionally shipped to the wrong address in another city, despite the correct address being listed on the website. Since the item was marked as delivered, I was unable to get my money back. Based on these experiences, I urge caution and stay away from AliExpress, as it appears many sellers may be engaging in misleading practices.
