    I expect my order this week. It was only 12 dollars for DHL post from China and delivery is within 3-7 days so that suits me perfect. I purchased a few different kits so I didnt want to be relying on them all reaching me in 4 weeks.

    I think 12 dollars is very good value.

    Which shop did you go with?
    I've not seen any sellers offer such a good price for DHL

    What's a winter set? Sorry, newbie question! Just wondering what on their site I should be looking at for re winter stuff.
    logik wrote: »
    Long sleeves and long legs, little extra wind protection.
    The stuff listed as winter has thicker material and fleecy lining. If its listed as just long sleeve and tights then its standard material same as the short stuff.

    Sorry, for some reason the user was addy zhang but the shop were it all comes from is.

    Baiky Cycling Clothing

    Give that a search :)

    EDIT: just checked my order on the website and it was 12 euros not dollars for DHL delivery from Mainland China. 16.87 dollars for 3 kits. Still 12 euro is great value from China when I can track my items and all.

    Who did you order from Logik? I was just browsing there and dhl was over a hundred euro with whatever seller I was looking at. I'd be inclined to pay 12 quid too and get the stuff asap

    Hi,

    I ordered with Baiky Cycling Clothing on Ali Express. 3-8 day delivery once the item is shipped.

    I went with the Monton cycling shop for my Saxo gear paid $17 for shipping with EMS?? Had the gear within about a week of ordering... I've added them as favourite sellers and won't hesitate using them again...
    (Partly due to the fact that I cannot search for the Baiky crowd mentioned above)

    Is this the shop? http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1360611

    It's called bicycling-monton though not Monton cycling.

    Edit: And then there's http://www.aliexpress.com/store/133967 which is called cycling monton online shop!!

    The fact that the store has made a new account would ring serious alarm bells for me.

    edit:
    Also, their feedback is clearly done by themselves. Look at the times, comments etc. All the same.

    The store might be perfect to deal with, i just wouldn't use them myself.

    Isn't that why Ali Express don't release the cash to the shop until you confirm everything is hunky dory and if it's not you simply raise a dispute, state your case and get your money back. That's supposed to be the cornerstone of how AliExpress works and how it gains the confidence of western buyers.

    Am I missing something? Do AliExpress not deliver on that promise?

    Ben

    Feedback received from buyers looks legit, can't see anything wrong with it.

    The feedback left for buyers is all the same, as you'd expect from one of these shops.

    Have a look at the times of feedback. Dead give away.

    I've used Monton roughly 7 or 8 times over the last few years, they're always changing their website name which I suspect is more to do with avoiding copyright issues than anything else however their products are excellent value for money and if you go to the full website they have an absolutely huge range of cycle clothing and accessories. I wouldn't buy a jersey from anywhere else to be honest.

    Yes they do, i received a jersey in the wrong size only this morning, I raised a dispute, asked for a refund and said I wasnt willing to return the item at my expense. 5 hours later I had an email saying seller has agreed to this and a refund will be issued. This obviously has to be agreed by the seller, but they also want to preserve their reputation. I have more confidence buying from aliexpress than i would from ebay. No hidden charges, ridiculous dispute procedures etc.

    We've been discussing this thread with the office. Bottom line is we/the site do not/does not wish to facilitate discussion of how to get hold of fake/counterfeit goods. While we appreciate everyone understands that in this case the gear is counterfeit, and can make their own judgement on what they wish to buy, we also have a wider concern about the possibility of posters discussing how to get hold of counterfeit bikes and components, where there may be serious safety concerns. For these reasons I'm closing this thread
