Ali-Express - pleasantly surprised!

[Al Krow]

A fair few of us have been buying kit via AliExpress eg as an alternative to Amazon. It can sometimes be significantly cheaper!

 

What I've really appreciated about Amazon is the secure knowlege of getting a full refund if the item is not suitable, never gets delivered etc.

 

I recently ordered a camera lens off AliXP - wrong model sent by retailer. I was half expecting to have to take a hit, but return, postage paid, was to a UK warehouse, even though the original product was from China, where they are made for global export.

 

Full refund received today.

I ordered an A-B switch on July 16th, and it arrived on the 23rd in time to use that evening. Which was nice.

 

I've had to return a couple of items, it's great being able to return them to a UK address - the most recent one, I got the refund before the returned item could have got to the return address which was excellent.

I have been looking at their Chibson SJ200 copies for around the £250 mark .

I struggle with dreadnought size guitars and the narrower waist of the SJ200 may make it easier to manage .

Far easier to buy a copy ( then sell on ) than dropping £4000 on the real thing .
