I got one for £4.06, and it's as much use as a cock flavoured lollipop...

Any excuse to buy a load of rubbish is right up my street but I’ve always stayed clear of Ali, wish etc as I’ve read loads of stories of stuff never turning up.

So you guys are saying that stuff does actually arrive (eventually)

Oh dear...
I have ordered 100+ times and everything has turned up.

I'd say I've had ~90% success rate for deliveries.

I've bought loads of stuff from AliExpress. Fountain pens and bits, fishing end tackle (why pay £5 for ten Korda lead clips when you can get 50 near identical ones for £2), Xiaomi fitness tracker, scissors, lasers, watch parts. It's brilliant.

I'd say that 90-95% of my stuff arrives. For those ones that didn't- AliX have refunded me immediately. Don't buy stuff if you need it in a hurry by the way as it's not guaranteed to come quickly.

Have I got 10 hours or 10 minutes left?

Ps if you’re thinking of buying one of these dog harnesses please also buy a pair of scissors to cut the thing off when you can’t get it off over the dog ‘s ears.

Go and have a look in your drawers full of ste, that usually stops me for a bit

Bloke at work admitted he likes to buy stuff just so he's got something to open almost like a present. Although he doesn't really get much sent here so I had the idea of hitting Wish.com for something ridiculous.

Tasteful, safe for work suggestions please. Tut for a few quid but the cheaper the better so he'll get a steady influx.

Interesting. Exactly how does the light stop you farting violently and loudly whilst peeing?

Completely unnecessary. Probably a bit illegal.

Camera bag and "tactical" LED flashlight.

Bag was far smaller than pictured and mouldy when it arrived (how I don't know!) and the flashlight never arrived. I wiped the bag clean and use for things other than SLR carrying.

I love all those websites, only problem is being a bit short of cash at the moment so tend to browse but not purchase as every £ counts.

Over the years I've had various flashlights, LED strip lights, jet lighters (mini blow torches), mini RC cars, little drones, odd bits for homebrewing, and I'm sure other bits I can't remember at the moment. Also a couple of Xiaomi Phones (higher value) which have been great.

Banggood and Gearbest are great for browsing.

Your wife jams the second one up your arse before bedtime.
