Aliexpress A Bad Buyer Protection Experience

This is my review on Shopping at AliExpress, I bought few mobile spares from Aliexpress through a reputed HongKong Seller listed in alibaba/aliexpress, after placing an order and almost a two months wait,to my Surprise, I never received the product to my shipping address, the seller was not even responding to e-mails and pings through trade manager.

At this point i though of contacting Ali Express and raise a Dispute of My Order and i did so,
When i initially raised a dispute, i though someone from AliExpress customer support/buyer protection team would contact within two working days,dispute was opened on April 16

Status:
    Dispute escalated  

Reminder:
    The dispute has been escalated. Your dispute will be submitted to our Case Management Team. We will contact you at the complaint center within 2 calendar days.
    Please sign in to the complaint center to view more details about your dispute, and follow the dispute process.
    Learn more about dispute policy

It has been almost a month the dispute has been escalated, there is no response from AliExpress Buyer protection and i strongly believe that there would be no help from Aliexpress, as i see lots of bad buying experience with AliExpress and Alibaba

Check the bad Reviews of aliexpress here

In-addition, AliBaba Trade manager instant chat messenger is a spy program which takes lots of personal information from your PC, beware not to install the alibaba trade manager at any cost.Check out the forums of AliExpress before even thinking of shopping at Aliexpress, I name Aliexpress as something a Scam-express, which suits best for Scams and Fraud encouragement of the Chinese sellers.

So Readers, this post is to alert about Aliexpress and its fraud buyer protection system.Look out for other alternate options online excluding Aliexpress, i prefer ebay with high seller feedback score.

Thanks

Where to Buy Mobile Touch Screen and LCD Replacement Parts

This post is all about where to buy the mobile touch screen and LCD replacement parts for a cheaper price for all the smart phones right from sony xperia to nexus, iphone, samsung and HTC. It is quite obvious that, the touch screen digitizers or the lcd screens of the mobiles will break out some day as we mishandle them.

The easiest and the most cheapest way to replace the touch screen digitizers and the lcd replacement parts is, through sourcing the parts from china.I recently broke my Tipo St21i touch screen digitizer as well as lcd, these two parts costing me almost the price of the mobile phone when i inquired in sony service center, so i decided to source these parts from china and desperately wanted to get this mobile working.

At this point i strongly feel that touch screen digitizers and lcd's can be replaced very easily as they have a connector plugins.

Now, where to get these mobile replacement parts sourced.?

The only one stop trading site is Alibaba and Aliexpress, visit these websites and search for your mobile replacement parts, you will find many number of suppliers who actually trade the replacment parts for the smartphones at cheaper prices. I visited this store in aliexpress to get the touchscreen digitizer for st21, where i got it for around 14$

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/219930

The next question in your mind would be how about the shipping cost and reliability?

I first suggest to get in touch with the supplier of the store through the trade manager or web based trade manager  and then finalize the price and go for a free shipping either through Hong Kong Post or Free Shipping to India (World wide) Via China Post Air Mail.

As the LCD's and the Touch screen digitizers are light in weight and mostly the hong kong sellers are reliable sellers, this will be a hazzle free shopping at Alibaba or aliexpress, but do check the feedback score before making a purchase, its almost similar to ebay.

The delivery time is 15 days on normal working days and during festival season it may end up from 15-30 days, but its worth wait.

I got my tipo working in just 15$, where i had to spend almost 90$ at sony service center..Good Deal!

Give a try at Alibaba or Aliexpress
