Final Word

Welcome to Aliexpress101.blogspot.com! I made this website to let you know about the latest Lego alternate, knock off and bootleg sets that I find on Aliexpress. I also want to share with you my personal experiences that I've in using the Aliexpress shopping platform and hope that you find this information useful and helpful.Firstly I want to say that it makes me really happy to see all the great comments on my blog. Thank you so much guys!So I get a lot of questions in my comment section about finding reputable fake Lego sellers on Aliexpress and what I can say is that it's really fluid. There are some shops/sellers that give great prices and service, only to disappear after a few months. Then I've had well known fraudster stores that actually shipped me ridiculously cheap bootlego sets, then try to shaft me on the next order. Yeah, I'm talking about you Super Galio store!In this blog post, I'm going to share with you, my personal success and failures in dealing with the various sellers and stores I had in the past year of 2019. In part 1 of this post, I'll look at the purchases I made between January and June 2019. I'll make a follow-up post for July through December of last year (aka, part 2), coming soon!Here we go!Hunting Fun, H&H Block, Goldtoys, Jile Blocks, Morefun, Bricks Minifigs, Yuwan Toys, MilkMilk, BaweloShop368008 - did not shipJjbxin, Museum, Meoa, Stzhou, Kacuu, Shop4380041, MorefunTimerobot - cancelledHeroblocks, Eurobricks, GiftedMonkey, Selina, LpgoToy, Bricks Artwork, Morefun, Jile Blocks, Lixiang Toys, Bricks Minifigure, ToynbeeAliexpress 2.0 - item not received9886Bai - item not receivedHero Blocks - item not receivedPuzzles and Toys, Shop4403001, SelinaHero Blocks - item not receivedChinatown store, Puzzles and Toys, Jile Blocks, Buildmoc Store, Shop4397045, Beoutdoor, Baktoy, Irtoys, Shop3616098Nin Blocks - item not receivedLpgo Toys - item not receivedCity Toy, Buildmoc store, Dream Toys, Beoutdoor, Big Cabbage, Shop4403001, Toynbee Store, Bicky Toy, Iloveblock, Moc BricksDream Toys - wrong colour sentAs you can see, I've dealt with quite a few stores on Aliexpress, and there are some that I can say are pretty good like BuildMoc, Jile Blocks, Morefun and Puzzles and Toys, just to name a few. I've also had mixed results with Hero Blocks, Dream Toys, and Lpgo Toys. Will that stop me from using them again? Probably not, because I did have some success with them at one point and maybe the item got lost in transit, we'll never know.Just wanted to say in all the failed cases above where the item was not sent, not received or wrong item, I received a full refund from Aliexpress after raising a dispute within the allotted timeframe. It takes awhile, but with persistence, you do get your money back.How about you? What successes and failures have you had buying not Lego on Aliexpress? Did you get your money back or did you have lots of problems? Please share your experiences in the comment box below. Hope all your Aliexpress transactions are successful!
