Losing confidence in AliExpress
Anyone else being asked to cancel orders due to shipping restrictions? Happened once a few months ago when I ordered a desoldering iron, now twice with different machinist’s levels ordered from different suppliers. Hard to imagine why such items are a problem. Also if they can’t ship an item, surely it should be the supplier who cancels the order, not me. I’ve heard they don’t want to cancel themselves to avoid getting downrated by AliExpress. Anyone know if that is true? Do buyers get downrated if they cancel orders?

I think the Chinese manufacturing sector is in a world of hurt and things won't return to what they once were for a long while yet.
Remember the old saying-"follow the money". I think it may have a very large bearing on what is happening.
That is my 2c on on it.

Hi Guys,
Don't overlook that the Chinese Government is fighting a trade war because of Trump's sanctions ! A trade war isn't doing anyone any favours.Best Regards:

Plenty of competition out there now in other countries as well.
I recently bought a bipod. It was made in Burma. It was good quality as well.Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.
