I order as soon as I heard about the "free" goods offer. I've checked tracking, and nothing is showing up since July 5th.

Hello,
The first two of the items I ordered have arrived already. One of them shows it was mailed out on June the 30th - this is the one that just showed up at my doorstep today - to give you an idea on the time it took to get from there to here. The items I picked up were offered with free shipping, so im guessing other paid shipping options could have been faster but they were both very well packed and came as described in the ads.
Regards,
Chris

Hello,
Of my two, one of them shipped via Hong Kong post on July 1st, and I received it July 10th. The supplier let me know that if I was to order in bulk future shipments would be via UPS (still with free shipping). The second one I ordered on a Thursday and received it the following Monday via UPS Express. I was impressed by that one as it was also free shipping.
Regards,
Nathan

I've received two of the three items that I ordered. Third item was ordered later.
These were supposedly new cell phones. If I was paying retail, I'd be upset with the condition of these "new" phones. As it is, I'm happy to have them.

I received one ink cartridge for my HP printer. It was supposed to be a two-pack. Doesn't matter, I'm afraid to use the one anyway.
When I go back into AliExpress to look at the order, it says Itrimming is responsible. That's one of Jack Sheng's IDs on eBay, along with eForcity and a couple other I can't remember. I thought I was buying it from someone called "Lvey phon."

It clearly says "2 pak" in several places.

I'm curious. Is there any form of tracking provided by the seller?
I recall reading a press release by the USPS that they were going to make it easier for Chinese sellers to ship items into the U.S. I found that interesting, because the USPS sure doesn't make international shipping easy or safe for U.S. sellers.

I just got back from a 3 week vacation. Both orders were received in my absence. One item required my signature and USPS admits it made a mistake in sending the item back when it wasn't claimed by me. I received the other item (mini video cam) but I can't figure out how to use it and it is frankly a piece of junk. The package called it "World's Smallest Voice Recorder" (what about video??)I think it may be a web cam ??? There is a mini-cd labeled "Driver" but I am afraid to put that in my computer..who knows what might happen. Here are scans of the packaging with no other instructions ...it sure ain't worth $20!

Here's what I received - "camera", USB plug, charger, gel case and a bunch of clips (for scale - it all fits on regular 8.5x11 sheet of paper:

there must be directions you can get off of the web though. I did one Google search and found this same thing on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180533743889
in my experience you never have to use the provided driver-CD, Windows always recognizes the device without it.
it looks like it could be simple though. one button you push to record or stop recording, one for power, and when you want to view the stuff you recorded you just plug it into your computer. it has some amount of built in memory and you'll end up just manually navigating to the device like it's a thumb drive to get to the content.
from the box you show it looks like it records directly to AVI files, which are easy enough to work with.
if you have a micro-SD card (like you use in a cell phone) you can even expand it's memory:
the engrish text on the box is pretty hilarious. if you had directions for this thing I bet it would make it more confusing, not less.

Hmmm -- looks like the eBay item description is written by the same folks .."It Has Small Contour Design, Which Does Uv Spray Finishing For The Whole Body." ... huh??? It's supposed to be a camera not voice recorder ... none of the switches seem to work ... I think it may be voice activated ...I think I was ripped off for the buck and change I had to pay and they are listing on ebay for $50??? OMG no wonder the ship is sinking!

you know it's probably un-charged when they ship it. do the lights turn on when you plug it in?
if you didn't already i bet you have to charge before you can try it out. looks like a USB power cord, so it can probably charge off of the wall thing or the computer USB port.

Thanks vintage - I tried operating it while it was plugged in to the outlet - no lights and the "power" button would not stay on. Maybe I will let it charge for awhile and see if that will work. Thanks for your help!

They could all be factory rejects or closeouts of companies which went under or plain stolen goods by the seller or someone who works for the factory.
The seller did not make these goods,how would he know if it works or not,or how it works or what 2 pk means?
You want a bargain,here,take your bargain!
What can you do?kill them,report them?stop them from selling?

Just because the label said 2 packs,it does not mean you get 2 packs,is there a FTC in China?
Just like those dollar stores,some items are priced over a dollar and the owner will say the name of the store is dollar store,it does not mean the items in the store is a dollar!
Just like the guy who sold me the resin figurines,he bundled 20 pairs of figurines and bubble them all in one lump,who said he is not bubblewrapping?

hwahwa, chill. Seriously.
max40 and vintage4u wanted us to post our links and reviews. I did so. I'm out 60 cents, so no big deal, but if it saved another seller from laying out a lot of money for misdescribed, broken or shorted crap, I consider it a public service.
There's no way I'm putting this ink cartridge in my printer. My trust hasn't been earned.
I'm beginning to think the sole purpose of AliExpress is to make eBay look good.

I think the winners are the Vendio owners,they deserve a medal for doing their share in getting millions back from the Chinese!
