*Warning* Banggood

203846930

A warning about Banggood delivery, it just doesn't happen.

I was given a 30 day delivery timescale which then turned into a 'we will ship' within 30 days which then turned into a shipping date after the 30 day time frame and 14 days after that the item had still not shown as having been shipped so I cancelled.

I got my money back - well almost, because of currency exchange rates I lost over £1 on the deal.

Or if you do, expect equally crap customer service.
You may be surprised and get good value items and equally good customer service but when paying pennies for items, this is far from guaranteed.

I’ve never had a failed delivery from banggood, or AliExpress for that matter

Had stuff not arrive from Chinese sellers. Maybe they didnt post it, maybe it got lost in the post or maybe customs seized it. Who knows its teh risk.

Ordered more stuff today, delivery estimates seem longer than normal, maybe its just the sellers of this gadget? Or maybe its because its getting close to xmas?

I don't know when you think christmas starts but in my book it is not the beginning of October, so that excuse is out of the window.

Except some items i purchased the other day show an expected delivery of Jan 3rd.

Tried to pick ones where thats the latest but they do seem to be longer delivery times than usual.

Rather wait than pay double for the same item.

Never had any problems with China based sellers. "Chinese crap" is sold universally in the U.K. by big name sellers anyway. So why pay more for the same stuff? What isn't Chinese made nowadays anyway?

In fact, a recent AliExpress order of mine was not showing any tracking nor has it been delivered. AliExpress refunded the full amount paid, without question, after I opened a dispute..

Had a couple from Ali over the summer. Weirdly both went to addresses on the other side of the country from me so I assume I'd been mixed up with another order.
Refunded immediately.

I order a fair bit from them, mostly random crap (case in point a toothpick crossbow) and rarely have problems but I keep in mind that this is a Chinese item and don't spend more than I'm happy to lose.
