The quality of the paintings I received weren't as nice as in the photos though.

Looks like I sent you a link to the wrong thing irishproduce, those were just specific paintings on offer.

Im not sure who paints custom pictures you send in.

Custom oil paintings

Message a few of them with the image(s) you are after, and a rough size and ask for a quote. Haggle!

Thanks for the reminder, ordered 2 SDCards at 50% off (32 & 128), yes I know the risks of ordering cheap sdcard brands and that aliexpress sales, usually are just inflated prices beforehand.


MicroData : - Tarjeta micro sd High Speed Micro SD Card 32GB 64GB Cartao de memoria 4GB 8GB 16GB Memory Card 128GB TF Card with adapter

The 128gb card, I got today is faulting or a dud!

Files I copied on to it disappearing and folders created also disappear after remounting.
I tried to formatting the card in my phone. But problems persist.

Also can not delete test folders (or the LOST.DIR) created in Windows (SDCard reader).

Messaged the seller and waiting on a reply.

I thought the cheap cards would be a least usable?

It may genuinely be faulty. I haven't heard of anyone faking the storage in a long time, especially now it is so cheap.

Thanks for the suggestions. Tried the formatter and it created exFAT Storage, attaching to my phone required to it to be reformatted FAT32.

Test it again and it seemed to be retaining data and working.

Tried TiBu backups on it today resulting in corruption of the files when verified. It seems that once you load the card with a certain amount of data it just gets faulty again.

Yet to hear back from the seller, I have to extend the buyer protection to give them a chance to reply and then open a dispute on it.

They haven't gotten back to me yet, was just trying to open a dispute, but the process requires a video. But the request type of video doesn't show my problem.

Too much hassle to dispute it, just going to have to write it of as a lesson learned and utilize it, without using it for anything important like backups.

Order will close in about 18 hours, wonder if i should acknowledge it and leave negative feedback. So others would be warned?

Still dispute it. Ali express are as good as amazon for resolving disputes. Upload a blank video if needs be

Just did, thanks for the suggestion, it was better than leaving a negative review.

That's the sign off a fake. OS thinks it has the reported space, writes sector's only to discover later that they don't exist.

No reply until dispute started.

They replied in the earlier hours.

sorry for the problem , how about resend to you ?if you accept replacement , need you cancel dispute and we send a new one to you .

I don't think, i will accept a replacement, what is going to prevent the same problems on another same brand card.

If you cancel the dispute you can't open another one, so nothing to make them ship the replacement. It's a common sneaky tactic.

Yeah never cancel a dispute, that's more often than not their first ploy, cancel the dispute and we'll refund you, or send it again etc etc.

Ali are normally pretty fair imo. I lost one dispute because I didn't bother uploading a picture or video so probably my fault.

If you're talking about internet accessible ones I'd be very careful. Some of them are riddled with "back door" access and aren't very secure at all. Google around and research the model before you pull the trigger.

Do you mean Apple iPads, or a Tablet?

Wouldn't buy either from Aliexpress in any case. But definitely not an iPad.

ImARebel

Must be something in the air my 128gb card is acting up too. Bought on 7dayshop which I reckon is about the same as buying from Ali.

First time not buying one from amazon, won't be doing it again. Serves me right for trying to save a buck

Anyone ever have something delivered to the wrong address?

I've had something confirmed as delivered but when I put the tracking number in An Post, it was delivered in Killaloe. I live about 200km from there and my address wouldn't resemble that at all.... Low value item but I've opened a dispute.

Sometimes they give you a tracking number of another item, usually when your item is not tracked. I've opened disputes for this before and won and they had the item arrive weeks later.

Depending on the value involved i would sometimes not bother with a dispute and just leave negative feedback. If you open a dispute you lose the ability to leave feedback. There is also no way to know how many disputes have been opened against a seller. a bit of a flaw in Aliexpress's otherwise excellent system.
