Cheap tat bought from the far east
Discussion
Wish is annoying - last time I looked it was impossible to see the total price (including postage) without going into each product. AliExpress/DHGate etc it's all up-front, and you can sort by orders to find the most popular seller (and hence the most reviews/photos).

We seem to have drifted off the tat a bit so I'll recount my order for a replacement Focus coolant tank ordered from somewhere East of Suez. Turned up eventually with a little (mis)printed note saying it deffo wasn't an official Ford part. This was rather contradicted by the white sticker with what turned out ot be a Ford part number! I was half expecting something with the wall thickness of a Coke bottle but this was the real deal.

I thought I was being smart as everything is made in china, right??
So being tight I found something that looked the same as a much more expensive one here in the UK, turns out I was wrong.
Top tip thou, and I wouldn't advocate doing this to rip them off but on the few things I've complained about I've had full and almost instant refunds with no need to return the item. NOW we are heading for the council thread... All aboard...
Whist I’m not sure anyone ever paid $18 for a bit of nylon and two suction hooks, I seem to have just downloaded the wish app and bought two dog car harness things, a temp/humidity sensor and an led watch that makes me look like I have an apple/android watch without all the attached stigma of actually having one.
Damn you ‘ I wonder what’s new in the lounge’ thought.

So if my wife or I wake up in the night and go for a pee, we won't wake each other up.
Oh, and some umbrella corporation stickers.
So 2 years ago I bought a toilet light, loved it and bought 200 on Ali baba, 1700 later selling at £8.99 each the Chinese have blown me out the water, (they copied my keywords and obviously sell for less than half my price).So if my wife or I wake up in the night and go for a pee, we won't wake each other up.

I’m now looking for a new little challenge to prove I’m an ecommerce god
I started my AliExpress addiction in 2016 and have had no end of that come through my letterbox since.
A few highlights are:
Zip chip mini frisbee that was great on holiday for £3
An amazing rechargeable head torch for £8
Loads of phone cases and wallets for a couple of quid each
And a tattoo transfer of a lion's face that covered my son's whole back (for the summer holidays) for 74p!
My favourite part is forgetting I've ordered things and getting little surprises every so often
