AliExpress experiments - Non-watch products

[timeonmyside]

Just ordered a "cashmere" sweater for $18. Will post thoughts when it arrives! I usually buy Banana Republic which goes for $80 minus the 30% discounts all the time. So I'll compare the $60 BR with the $18 AE style.

Bought nine Burberry scarves and got a discount, will update when they show up.

Just bought a pair of those Nike Free Socfly SD 3.0s in size 11, hopefully they fit. I walk ~7-8 miles a day, so it would be nice to have some cheap shoes...

hi for the gens I can't really say because the one I tried at the shop were in leather not suede/nabuk like these

I haven't worn them out yet. I don't see any imperfection.

as for sizing, i took 11 even tho i normally wear 10 and they are just nice

did you have to email them an invoice? and a paper with your passport number?



isnt officlaly all eu import laws the same? so doesnt matter where i am

I didn't need to send them anything... I ordered two month ago... Maybe the import isn't the same, maybe the customs are now stricter. who knows... If you are located in germany, they are stricter now...

Recieved my Goyard card holder and a MB pen.
Both are great, although i re-ground the nib because it was broad as hell.

capitalism allows me to order cheap shit from china, communism is the goverment decides for me what i am allowed to have or not. but because communism officially lost they cant just got around and confiscate things so what they do is raise taxes to a point were we cant pay so they come in and confiscate property , cars and items .

The general structure is the same but there are huge differences because the laws and tax rules of each country are drawn up to comply with the overall EU ruling.

So each has their own level of taxation to apply VAT, TVA, GTAI etc., different emphasis on the forms i.e, what local industries do they want to protect? different levels of aggressive application, UK/Italy/Germany for example are applied from loosely to savagely.

I have experience and could help with UK issues but would be quite lost for German issues.

DHL will ask for a different level of proof/document type according to which country they are delivering to.

So when a fellow member asks "where are you" he/she is not trying to find you out but wants to know if their experience is relevant to your problem.

Yeah it says its cashmere but one of the comments on the sale page seemed to say its not. For the price its worth checking out. And I dont need cashmere in California so no big deal to me.

It's why (compared to N America) few people buy online in the EU.

True, but you can get $20 wool sweaters from Kohl's, jcpenney, etc so this isn't so out of line.
