Three items arrived today. Goyard wallet, Mont Blanc pen, and 3 Daniel Wellington watches.

The pen feels solid and writes nice. A+
The seller no longer has the product page up but they have a ton of other pens: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1037662

DW Watches aren't bad. They seem to be keeping time. Only time will tell (pun intended). Bummed I didn't get the box that everyone else has been getting with theirs, but for $8 and change a piece, I can't complain. A

I'm surprised the Goyard wallet even came. It was from a seller with zero reviews, and a store with zero feedback. After making payment I thought "damn, I guess I'll never see that product" after hearing all of the horror stories about buying off people with zero feedback. It's an alright wallet. The outside is definitely plastic (which I'm assuming Goyard wallets are?) and the inside, although soft, is made up of extremely thin bonded leather that feels kinda nice but doesn't feel right. The wallet has a strong smell which I'm sure will go away with time. I've never handled a genuine Goyard wallet before so I can't comment on how close it is to gen. For $30, I may have slightly overpaid in terms of typical AliExpress pricing. B-

Note: the seller is now starting to get some feedback and it's been positive

Seems like shipping to Canada takes a loooooooooooong time.

Yup. Took almost three months for some of mine. Others took two months. Not sure if it was just bad luck or the particular sellers I chose. Ymmv

well my knife finally arrived. Ordered a strider knife after seeing on on here. 8.84$ I honestly thought it was never gonna get here since it took so long. Ordered on 6/19/2015, arrived today. It feels nice and sturdy, grip could be better but tip of the knife is sharp. Overall I'm satisfied for the price.

Yeah I'm in Canada too.

Rayban Wayferers - Ordered June 10, Received July 8 (29 days)
DW Watches - Ordered June 10, Received July 9 (30 days)

Rayban Clubmaster - Ordered June 14, Received July 8 (25 days)

Average Time: 29-30 days

I ordered something that had the option to ship from the USA so I don't count that above.

30ish days ain't bad but there are still a few items from those order dates that have yet to arrive.

I really don't get why you guys are going nuts for these wine aerators. I can find them all day here in Canada for $9 that are the exact same ones. I'd suggest just getting one locally cheap instead of waiting 4 weeks to age your wine.

i had no clue it was available locally for a decent price. I kept seeing them for 30+ and kept saying eh I'll get it eventually and just happened to notice these on Ali, didn't go looking for them. But if your saying the same ones are available for this price in conus, it's a no brainier, I would definitely rather buy here than wait 4 weeks from China

BE carefull with NIke. Swoosh is not correct. They do not come with correct swoosh if not in picture. I ordered Rosche with "modified" Swoosh thinking they would be real logo. But the modified logo came.

What a load of shite, proper misleading that. To be honest I didn't even check when I bought my rosches , luckily they had the correct logo on both pairs. Is the little extra bit they put on the tick not removable?!

Just had two cartier love bracelets turn up, ordered from the same store someone else posted earlier in this thread. Little on the small side, but great quality! Unfortunately the store has gone down since I ordered.

No Its not. But the ones I ordered has the slight logo change, I since ordered another pair. The dealer said they had the correct Logo and sent me pics. For $23 I can't complain too loudly. I gave away three pairs I didn't care for to Charitys.

Yup when I moved to the UK and things started coming within a week or two I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Its started off the great AE order spree of early 2015.....

Wow, so lucky. On average it's about 3-4 weeks min to Canada. Half the issue is, 80% of the packages just sit here in Mississauga for a week! I got my girlfriend into Ali as well and I told her if she wants any summer clothes to order NOW or they'll be for 2016.

 

[RichRobby]

I think it's down to luck. I'm in the UK and waiting on stuff for 20 days so far

I've just bought some of these too on your recommendation! Look forward to receiving them!

Received these today! My that was quick!

Mine also came direct from amazon. I cross referenced with Amazon, and taking into account delivery charges and everything, I have saved about £6/7! Not have a chance to test out the quality yet, but I shall this evening

Careful about buying memory cards from non reputable places online. They have a nasty tendency to use low-quality memory chips (or even ones that don't pass QC in larger vendors). These can crap out on you when you least expect it, destroying all your photos and memories with them.

Loads of horror stories about fake Sandisk and Lexar cards are online if you google it.

Just don't take the risk for a few bucks worth of savings.

+1 on that. I bought a bunch of cheapie off eBay and none lasted over a month. Luckily I used them to store games and such but if it was important stuff I wouldn't risk it.

On a side note. Be careful with Samsung microSD cards. I bought 2 32gb from Samsung themselves when I had my note 2 as extra storage and both crapped out within a year. So I just stick with sandisk. Haven't had one go wrong yet. (Knock on wood)

I strongly agree with this, don't buy the memory cards in china and buy good ones!

Received this lens hood for my canon dslr yesterday. Fits prefectly. Paid $3.7 compared to $30 for the gen. Gen is also just a piece of plastic.

Ali is a great place for camera accessories. I can also recommend the chinese brand yongnuo. They make flashes and even lenses for Canon that get great reviews. Some of their stuff is available on amazon too.

 

[jamieroquai]

Any Nikon lenses available?

 

[hector]

Dakov, awesome purchase compare to gen cost, amazing how cheap manufacturing is kill ing the profits for many companies
