Thread: Anyone bought from China lately

I ordered a replacement Husqvarna chainsaw clutch cover for my S.I.L on 27/01/2021 and it arrived on Thursday 11/03/2021. It is slightly different from the ebay picture, but I think it is the correct part for the saw. The use of generic product photos is a constant ebay problem for me, particularly with items from China. The devil is in the detail.

Wow you have more patience than I would if delivery took 20 + years.

Thanks QC, Typo duly noted and corrected.

I ordered two Oil level temperature gauges for the coolant tank on my bandsaw from Aliexpress on the 4/3/2021 and they arrived today 17/3/2021. That's the quickest time I've had anything from Aliexpress in.

The Aliexpress sellers do seem to have improved their delivery times somehow, I ordered an LCD DRO on the 1/3/21 and it arrived yesterday, which I thought was pretty good.

Nothing to do with sellers, everything to do with people not being locked down, and there being more aircraft moving about.

AliExpress, ordered 25th Feb, arrived 18th Mar.

Sadly, one of the holders has mis-cut/ground Vs:

which is odd – one out of the 6 holders only. I would have thought they were all done on the same machine!

Look at it this way. The units are likely made in machining fixtures. All that is needed is a bit of uncleaned
swarf in the fixture to cause a defect rendering that particular unit unusable.

The operators are more than likely poorly trained rural labourers performing long hours on a boring job.

The Chinese idea of Quality control is to give you a new one after you have made the effort to complain long and hard about the crappy item.

It is the down side of buying cheap, unfortunately! Other countries have had the process of starting with products that weren't so good but evolved to a point making quality and cost effective products they are proud of.

I do not believe overall China will ever reach that level due to the own leaders.
My point of view and I am sticking with it.

last two AE orders
Fridge alarm ordered on Feb 3 arrived Feb 26
LED panel lamp ordered Feb 5, still not arrived - site says to open a dispute with them if not arrived by April 4.

Looks like I will be lodging a dispute about my order with the bank. None of the links to site I bought from, work anymore.

WOW! Australia post says my package is in Sydney awaiting clearance. Only took 76 days to get that far. Might get it this month if lucky.

Wife ordered a couple of small tools on New Years Day. They arrived yesterday, 7th April.
