I decided after reading everyone's experience to try Ali Express and placed an order on Dec 1. Its now January 4 and says it is still in china. What is the usual delivery time before I ask for my money back? It said 30 days. I am just curious. I know going into it I was taking a chance. I bought from a highly rated seller and didn't spend to much so that if I got burned I be okay with it, but just thought I would ask my fellow peas for how long I should expect. thanks.

I've waited sometimes 2-3 months. I don't mind, it's super cheap and it gets here when it gets here. I have been ordering from them for over a year now and yes, it takes a long time for stuff to arrive, but it's worth the wait because of the cost of the products I haven't had anything not arrive though. So, you're item will arrive, it just might take awhile

I have a November 2 order with them that's a problem. The airline has been in possession of it since November 9, and I'll have to wait until March to dispute it. I've contacted the store, and they assure me it's on its way, but I'm pretty sure it's been lost. It was only $5 worth of dies, so not a big deal to me. I hope your order wasn't expensive.

Some of the places have an order fill time, and you'll see 10-14 days just for "processing". The more established stores are some of the worst about that. Most of the things I've ordered take 3-6 weeks to get.

every time my order gets to me in about 30 days. I've ordered probably 4-5 times.

Some orders take a long time to pack and ship, others ship straight away and have got to me in about 2 weeks. Also, sometimes the tracking doesn't update. Hope it gets to you soon!

Don’t go by the tracking. Simply put, it doesn’t work. I just got two different orders yesterday. I placed them on Nov.11. If you see your protection Time is runn8ng out ask the seller to extend protection. Things are specially slow because of 5he rec3nt holidays.

I just received an order today that was placed on November 9. Ali takes a really long time. I often ask the seller to extend purchase protection so that I have the option to file a dispute if too much time passes and I don’t receive the item. But I have also had issues (more than once) where the shipment was cancelled and I had no idea until I looked more closely at the order information. Ali is great but they do sometimes have shipping issues.

I haven't received a 11/11 order and I contacted the seller and they extended the protection. I had read during that time period that shipping can be slower because of Christmas.

Ali vendors usually take 2-4 weeks to get in my 3xperience, but I believe the holiday season does affect most vendors shipping time as well since they get such high volume orders with Xmas in mind
