Aliexpress Watches

FlicFlak

OK, so don't know if its just me, but when I go on the aliexpress app and find watches I actually want, it says no delivery to your location at this time.
Then when I go to their actual website, on the Internet, I can't find any of the watches I found on the app!!
Does anyone have any answers??

IS your location Ireland?

Add the watches to your basket on the app.
Then log into the desktop to continue the purchase.

Also as Cienciano says, make certain your location is set to Ireland or if you have parcelmotel use the UK.

Assuming on boards the guy lives in ireland. But I remember a guy on reddit had a similar problem and everyone assumed he was american, turns out he lived somewhere like Mauritania

Yes, I definitely live in Ireland and my location is set to Ireland.

It could be something like your phone is not giving the location to the Aliexpress app. Check the permissions and whatnot.

Just searched that watch, added to my cart and went through checkout with zero issues.

No issue with app ordering here.

No idea, I take it you are scrolling down, selecting colour and quantity and then adding to cart?

What happens when you try "buy it now"?

In both instances on the app for me it proceeds to payment with no issue.

Yeah did all that, wont let me proceed!!

It's an issue with your account then I'd guess as mine goes to payment no issue.

This is it

Price seems a bit off there too...

I don't use it just changed the payment option as it was simpler than scribbling out my card info

Flik - you might know this already but the watch you are trying to buy is definitely not a real tourbillon - it is instead an open heart movement - which can be very pretty in its own way with the exposed balance, especially in a skeleton movement too.

I can see how you might be confused seeing that the page has a huge "100% real tourbillon" caption at the start of the description... but that is actually referring to the watches listed underneath that banner (and nevermind they used "tourbillon" in the product description).

Guanqin does sell real tourbillons - but not for $77 dollars (no one can unless it is broken or stolen) - the unit price for one tourbillon movement is much more than that.

See these tourbillon watches that Guanqin sells:

https://www.omegawatches.com/en-gb/watches/de-ville/tourbillon/the-master-chronometer-edition/product
But that's also £135,000 so...

Yeah, sorry, just picked that watch as an example. No matter what i added to the cart I got the same result, wouldn't ship to my location. It wasn't so much the watch I was focused on, more so the cant buy anything!! 🀣

So, this morning I deleted my address and added a new address, basically the exact same address!! And POW!!!

Its working now!!

Some very nice and good quality watches on Aliexpress. Crazy to dismiss something just because it was made in china imho

One thing I would do when buying there, personally I would only buy something I've seen a video review of or it has plenty of review photos.

It's no so much the watch it's more so not supporting China. We rely on them too much and they own alot of property in Dublin. Plus the crippled the world economy. But that's just me :rolleyes:
