    Veithdia seems to be the most popular one people go for on boards for mens polarized sunglasses:

    You should have named the seller, and provide link to the phone bought?

    Dude I'm not sure of your income levels but 180 bucks doesn't sound all that bad.

    Lesson learned. Move on and take something from this.(I wouldn't dream of buying phones from Ali. Just small nick nacks and t-shirts etc. I use Amazon for phones as you have a lot of comeback)

    I read your post in the other forum and it seems strange that Ali sided with the seller cause they normally give money back at the drop of a hat.

    Life is going to throw a lot of **** at you. You can either start bitching and whining or you can man up and just move on.

    Got 3 orders I ordered on the same day about 2 weeks ago, all from different sellers.

    Amazing they arrived so fast and on the same day.

    180 bucks, is actually over €205 including the postage I paid for the phone. My income is completely irrelevant and trivial.

    I have bought multiple items and phones before from Ali Express with absolutely no issues ever, until now.

    Next time you buy a faulty item, have an incorrect decision go against you and you are also then scammed returning and paying for postage... I hope another father figure like yourself comes along and gives you sound advice like 'quit bitching, whining and man up. " :D

    This is all seems fishy. Have you been claiming for "faulty" phones a lot cause as I said Ali should give you your money back at the drop off a hat. Or did you break it yourself by trying to flash it.
    I'm probably wrong here but I'd say you're up to something

    Tried to buy an Amazfit 2 smartwatch from a store that shipped from Spain to Parcelmotel and they refused as the address was.not mainland U.K. so waiting for a refund to come through. Question is if anyone has bought one of these that shippped quickly to Ireland and didn’t end up taking 3 months from China?

    I know they are the devil but you could get it from GearBest with priority line shipping.
    I've never had any customs applied as GB say they take care of that with the shipping company. Not sure the details but the items are delivered by An Post and you get an An Post tracking number. Delivery time is normally about 2 weeks.
    The English version of the Amazfit 2 delivered with priority line is €204.16 Not sure how that compares with what you paid.

    You can order directly from their global website us.amazfit.com/shop
    If you use this promo code ''WELCOME'' and US Mail, it will cost you $204.99.
