Try http://track-chinapost.com/track_chinapost.php for tracking registered airmail parcels, will give you an idea when it leaves China at least.

Been spending way too much time on Ali- in two weeks I've made 18 orders so far! So far I've received 6 and pretty pleased with everything: goyard card holder ($12) & passport holder ($32), the famous hermes phone cover ($11) and hermes wallet ($25) to keep the Mrs happy, Nike flyknits ($58) and some vilebrequin shorts ($20).

Mostly stuff for holidays I'm waiting for- shorts, tshirts, sunglasses etc- and also thought I'd give the wine aerator a try!

Been looking at some jeans too but wary of the sizing.

Will post pics if anyone's interested in what I've got so far.

Yes, if everyone who says they bought this or that would post pics that would make more sense and be more helpful.
It's like saying '"I caught a fish....." ,with no proof.

This Ali thread discussion should also include pics. Otherwise, it's just speculation because people see things differently from one another.

Pics/price/delivery time would be ideal- and sizing for clothes/shoes too!
I will put up some pics later- all the items I received in 14-16 days from payment.

Flyknits- ordered 20th received 30th- $58 and true to size

I picked up a few things. I really like this mb wallet. Been using it for a month and it's holding up nicely:

Something I haven't seen, are MB Mechanical Pencils.
I have ordered some. They're pretty good:

Have you tried a genuine ballpoint, how does it compare, i keep hearing mix reviews about the rep ballpoint MB pens

If you mean the "cartridge" wise, I've fitted mine with a gen one. Now it's perfect for me. These pens are not cheaply made, to my eyes. Haha.

You mentioned the barrel was loose, im assuming you are talking about the twist action to let down the ballpoint, how loose is that

It doesn't affect the functionality of the pen. And $8 I cannot complain. For that money, I cannot expect the quality of a $240 pen. It's loose but not much. It just moves a few millimeters.

I've got a pair of Nike Free Run 2.0 for about a half of the price (around $25) and they look spot on. Wear them for around 2 years now, maybe even more.
