2016-18 i think i ordered a bunch of crap from aliexpress just because it was possible and i got really good experience with refunds for no delivery and such. i bought tonnes of garbage but it was a nice experience.

then the banhammer dropped and i haven't touched it since. are we still able to buy from aliexpress today?

edit: just to see if i could, i have bought plastic hooks worth 6 INR from aliexpress. they got delivered. mind=blown




wait when did you order it and when did it arrive oO. Your comment reads as if you ordered it one hour ago and it arrived within minutes lol


No, you can't order from India anymore and sadly there is no alternative.


always around 30 days-ish. sometimes 50 days


How were you able to buy the Hooks? To me the aliexpress site show “not delivering to india” for any item I pick. Any workaround?


I guess op meant before the Indian Chinese border conflict.

I guess it's not possible from india now.

I too bought a good winter jacket for 1600 still great after 5 yeats


i have literally written 2016-18 so... yeah.


> i have literally written 2016-18 so... yeah.

the thing that makes it confusing is that first you mention 2016-2018. Then you say you wonder if it is possible to order from AliExpress still. Then you add an edit saying just to see if you could you placed an order.

That's why it's easy to read your edit as saying that you placed an order today. Which then gets confusing when you say they got delivered :p
