    Still waiting on 1 item, in Dublin since November 13th or 15th. Other items have skipped some tracking info and just arrived with the postman.

    I did order an item with shipping from Spain on the 20th but still no info at all, and the track number looks suspect.

    One item I'm still waiting on since November 8th shows as being delivered by An Post December 4th, but nothing arrived to my home or with any of my neighbours. Messaged An Post & they referred me back to seller. When I contacted seller, they said to wait the protection time & if not arrived by then, to open dispute via AE.

    I took a gamble on December 28th and ordered stuff worth €40 from banggood. They gave an estimated delivery of February 27th. Let's see how this works out...

    Oh, I'm waiting on 1 package since around that time so hopefully it's a sign.

    I'm waiting for a package from Spain bought on AliExpress but no tracking showing at all. I contacted the seller and they said it'll be delivered by Fastway, so that's 1 I'll be lucky to see.

    So the package from Aliexpress Spain was on my doorstep this morning, soaked wet but luckily the contents were well packaged.
    I opened and won a dispute so I'll purchase the item again and tell the seller not to ship.
    That just leaves the low value item from November which is apparently in Dublin.

    Got my November package today, sitting in Dublin since the 15th of November.

    The package I ordered from AliExpress to be delivered from Spain was actually sent from China. A good torch behind the packaging revealed a hidden sticker below the Fastway label with another tracking number showing it left China on the 23rd of December. So can't see the point ordering from the European warehouses if it's all coming from China anyway.

    I am really surprised, but ordered something from AE on the 1st of Jan and it arrived yesterday, odd thing is I am still waiting on stuff from Amazon UK that bought end the year (30th Dec) with prime shipping !

    The order from AE was shipped via Amsterdam.

    Excuse my ignorance as I never bought stuff from China before but i'm in need of a particular remote control and my best chance is Chinese online retailer

    Can anyone recommend a retailer for me with fast shipping?

    For example what is aliexpress like?

    This is what i'm looking for

    Expect delayed deliveries from China with 'China New year' / covid / transport back logs. Some ebay sellers won't even ship.
    Friday
    , 12 February
    Chinese New Year 2021

    The country shuts down for a 2 week plus period.

    If you really want it pay DHL € 8,88 shipping and you should have it sooner than the 6 to 8 week slow boat from china.

    Think of it as China's Amazon, I ordered plenty of cheap stuff from it in the past.

    Big Thread here.

    The seller you linked is reviewed well but the item has only 1.
    Chinese New Year starts on February 12, 2021 and ends on February 22, 2021. This public holiday results in seven days off of work for employees, though celebrations can last for more than two weeks. That said, expect factory shutdowns for two weeks or so.
