What was your latest scrap related AliExpress order

Very cute mini book @scrapthology!

I placed an order last week for a bunch of card making sentiments, like Happy Birthday and the like. Every once in awhile I need to make a card, and I like die cutting more than I like stamping, so maybe these will make it easier for me. And I can use them in my scrapbooking too.

I also ordered an alpha set. It's one of those with all the letters punched out of one sheet of metal, which I'm not crazy about because it wastes paper. But, on the plus side, I won't have to worry about a letter being missing from the pack. 

I just bought the Ali version of the Reverse Confetti Stitched Note and Frames die. I've wanted the stitched squares forever but they are never in stock at SSS, and this one wasn't available either, so when I saw it on Ali I jumped and bought it. I've also got a bunch of heat activated foil in my cart but I haven't pulled the plug on that one yet!

Can you provide a link to the set you purchased? Thanks!

I haven't bought these yet, but I am looking at this little letter board set, and this envelope set.

I like both those sets....but I imagine adhering those little letters would be a pain in the butt, and very time consuming

I just bought a bunch of heat activated foil. It works great with my foil quill.

They had a sale two weeks ago and I bought this set of four dies. I have a big shot plus machine. They are 7.5 inches wide. They were $41 for the set but there is 44 dies in total. Came with tracking.

Thanks! I just added those to my cart. I love that it comes with a die to cut the envelope liner.

Is this what you were looking for?

Ha,ha. No. I just used the camera feature on the app!!
The funny thing is- I always seem to find what everyone else is looking for!

Can someone tell me how Aliexpress works? Do I separately pay each individual vendor or is it one payment including shipping for the whole order?

You pay each vendor separately, but you can do a bulk checkout that will allow you to pay for your entire cart at once. If you pay on mobile on the AE app, you can also just choose to pay for one particular item from a vendor even if you have several items in your cart with them.

Most items have free shipping, so you won’t get charged anyway. If you have to pay shipping, it is usually shipping on each item  and not one shipping price per order, but sometimes you will end up getting a bit of a discount if you order more than one item from a vendor - it really varies by vendor.  

It works like eBay for the most part, except you need a credit card as Paypal isn't accepted in general.  You put however many items you want in your cart, check out with one total payment and AliExpress holds the funds in escrow.  When you confirm the delivery or 15 days after Purchase Protection expires, the payment is transferred to the seller.  Disputes are harder than with eBay so you need to be more selective about what shops you buy from, and delivery is often slow unless you paid for ePacket or another fast shipping option. 

I rarely buy things on eBay anymore because the prices and selection are so much better on AliEx.
