This whole Aliexpress thing is the deepest rabbit hole lol. Never-ending... Not for the faint-hearted, I agree!  For those living in countries where those heart-shaped sweets with love phrases are sold (sweethearts? love hearts?) and who want to order early on so the free AliExpress shipping can take its sweet time to travel all the way to their home, there are some cute dies for Valentine's Day cards.  |

I opened my latest little packet and found two extra dies, one is a man shooting an arrow and another is a small tab die. Nice little treats!
The other day I heard my mailbox open and saw my neighbor walk away. I went and checked and it was one of the packets from China. Bet that got her curious.

Must have the Hillary and Donald dies LOL! Yes, but will you use Carrot Cake or Circus Peanut Bazzil cardstock for the Donald? Maybe Papaya Purée? |

Suddenly I’m having issues with Ali!! I placed an order in August for 3 metal dies, 2 of which were from same seller. Because it’s been so long and I haven’t received them, I checked the purchase protection today as well as the shipping information and low and behold the seller cancelled the order in early September but neglected to let me know! This actually also happened about a month ago with a different seller. I opened a dispute and apparently I am going to be refunded, as I was for the other item that this occurred with. But I’m having a bickering match with another seller over another item I haven’t received. This item was also ordered in early August and I haven’t received it. Purchase protection expired last week so I opened a dispute. The seller is refusing (so far) to give me a refund an is insisting that I wait. Claims the item has been received in my country. The only tracking I can see is that it was received in Canada at the end of August. I know the post office can be slow, but never this slow. Ali hasn’t stepped in to escalate the refund even though I’ve asked them 3 times! I’m sure I’ll get the refund eventually, but it is definitely for this reason that I’m glad these items don’t cost much.

Remember I bought some dies recently? Well I had the chance to use the stitched hill popup on my niece's birthday card, along with some Lawn Fawn fairy stamps. I cut the stamped images with my Cameo and pixscan mat. Really pleased with how it all turned out: View AttachmentI just received this die in the mail! |

I've ordered from Ali for well over a year now. Stamps, dies, washi tape, adhesive, sequins, glitter, even diamond painting kits and shirts for my teen boys.. it sometimes takes a long time to get here but I've never had an issue  I order at least once a week at this point! |

Do tell!  I just placed a small order to see how it works out. This particular seller accepted PayPal so I am hoping everything will go through smoothly with it. I bought these alphas in all the colors and this coffee stamp.   So I got a couple of orders today and these alphas that I bought ended up being SC alphas. I didn't even realize it when I ordered them.  |

Look what I found on Amazon... amzn.eu/1lC79di (sorry, I'm hopeless at adding pics....it's those dies for making a paper Christmas tree which I was so very tempted by last year, but resisted) ![]() |

streetscrapper if i'd seen it on Ali first, I'd have bought it - but actually, it's cheaper for me (and slightly less bother) on Amazon on this occasion! But thanks for the tip x I've reached the conclusion that I don't spend enough time looking! How come you clever peeps find so many goodies that I miss?!

I ordered this one back in August from another seller but never received it, so I just ordered it again. Christmas Lights
I have been trying to find those Christmas lights! They are no longer available at the site you linked. Does anyone have a trick to track things down on Ali? I just spent 30 minutes looking and still can't find them. |

I just spent 30 minutes looking and still can't find them. Unfortunately not! Things often have fun names (or none) so I spend hours looking as well! My only tip is that sometimes the 'people who bought this also looked at xyz' or 'other similar products' sections at the bottom can be helpful and lead you to stuff you hadn't seen before.

I bought the birch tree die on Ali recently and am just getting ready to make some Christmas trees. I found some small terracotta pots locally to put them in.

Yes, I so very nearly splashed out on that Christmas tree die, except it was getting a bit near Christmas and I didn't think I'd have time to make them. Love the idea of the small terracotta pots! (are we talking the same tree or is there another one I need?! ;-) ) |

Oh it sounds different than mine. This is the birch die I have (on the right).  |

Maybe' 'birch tree' wasn't a great description! I bought the one streetscrapper linked which has the Christmas tree boughs you stack together on a skewer to make a tree. |
