Since there was a talk about Charles Tyrwhitt quality shirts...
Did anyone look for or find an Ali seller that has high quality shirts with possibility to add a monogram. :greedy:

I tried to find some high quality shirts on AE but honestly it's not worth it. I spent anywhere from 10-40 per shirt to find a difference in quality but even at the higher range they were pretty crappy. My advice is just go to a TW or BB outlet and get them local. The express shirts are better quality than the ones I got off Ali. I'm talking about business quality dress shirts not the kind you wear to go clubbing BTW.

I've ordered multiple items from Aliexpress over the years - watches, cufflinks, watch boxes, bracelets, straps etc.

My latest order was; Goyard wallet, Burberry scarf, S.T. Dupont lighter and stuff you guys probably don't care about. I will post images when they are here if any of you are interested? :greedy:

Spent £130 on gear and the store has gone down :(
'Shipped Sunday with an invalid tracking number for China post.
Has anyone had a store go down on them and still got goods?
Or does it look like I need to escalate this to a claim after 10 days from shipping?

Stores go down all the time. You can message the seller still, if you don't get a response in a week then I would wait and escalate just before the time runs out. Odds are it may show up just be patient

Anyone find good rl button down shirts ( plain colors)

I ordered one plain one, that I got today. It is crap.

HOT Sale! 2015 autumn Brand Mens Tops Slim Fit Blouse long Sleeve Casual Mens dress shirts small horse logo 9 colors
http://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1D5QLJpXXXXamXVXXq6xXFXXX6.jpg
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/HOT-...eve-Casual-Mens-dress-shirts/32468803839.html

First I asked for some pictures of the "real" shirt(the one they would send me)
0a6d49ec6f2ca702be9ff87379cbbe22.jpg

It the picture I could make out some details that was like gen. I asked if it was 100% cotton, which she confirmed. So I ordered.

So here is a side-by-side with a gen:
Inside label is an old design, but pretty good.
f1602a336640f338f82626c0d90e2a4b.jpg

Here is the gen:
4ace8ec2cdaf128d6d37c2daf5ccdcfa.jpg


One big tell is how the fabric is shaped around the top button:
Fake(round):
bfdb62dba573377dbd7341130f49f6fc.jpg


Gen(square):
26e35141a3ca999e55b3c64b9691ba62.jpg


The chest logo:
Fake: it looks like it is sown by a blind man, trying to spear an ant with a needle:
f59052b1bfd1046e520f17fa1826434d.jpg

aebe3facd2bfb1a5c14c6febb2906a05.jpg


Side-by-side with gen:
9719908f2781916d3c543f0f3628c4a1.jpg


One the the backside of the bottom of the placket(?)/bar with button holes, the gen has the fabric folded and sown in a triangle. The fake.... Well.... Not.
cfbb519da64fc0efbb26af942d869825.jpg

On the underarms/cuffs there is also a bar/placket:

The gen is much wider and longer:
581bb2dc41a55fe32778761e72c998f8.jpg


RL shirts always have the shoulder piece made up of two separate pieces sown together I the middle by the neck, the fake is one piece:
Fake:
d90055cd844166172eed7ac016bb557b.jpg


Gen:
78e27b3ed52cac32f3fb78957533dcbe.jpg
73a4a500e23fe2ea794e9ccca3fda6d0.jpg


A part from these things, the fabric on the fake is bad; it is thin, feels waxed, I am 100% sure it is not 100% cotton. And even after asking and having the size confirmed, it is way smaller.
I think I will make a dispute on this, just for the principle...
As for getting any more shirts from AliExpress? Nope. Even Zara or H&M have better quality... That says a lot.

Yeah, I've had stuff turn up after a store has gone down. I once received 2 pairs of sunglasses that were crap, opened a dispute and I guess because the store had gone, it went unchallenged so received a full refund of £40.

Just received a partial order, I had ordered 2 Hermes belts in Brown and Blue. The brown one showed up today, but sadly no blue belt.

Order was placed on 11.11 took 27 days to get half of the order. I have messaged the seller letting him know I will be opening a dispute if the other belt doesn't arrive in the next week.

The belt is great by the way and fits perfect! Came with all the paper work, fake invoice and membership card.

Funny how there were no duties on this package also.....

[MENTION=54619]Whit27[/MENTION] glad it arrived ! Or part,. Hopefully the remainder comes within a day or so. I am shocked by the quality as well. Can't wait to see the blue on.

Ya its spectacular and the leather on the belt is nice also. Will be sporting this new belt with a blue suit for a client xmas party this weekend and one of the CT shirts!

It's been a productive week of packages, just need the blue one to show up and the Goyard card holders is all I am waiting on.

But looks like China Post takes about 25 - 30 days from purchase.

Sad to hear, i had a general feeling that a bit more money on ali could get you nice quality.
What would TW or BB be?

That really makes me sad, i don't mind the item having flaws like not same stitch position, but this is bad craftsmanship in general...
Go for that dispute!

Also regarding http://www.soloffer.se site, their order history shows last update 2015-10-14. Also the fact that they got tracking numbers on the site looks too wierd...
If the site is real, items are probably crap.
