[QUOTE="Baseline, post: 1094525, member: 14307"] Unfortunately there is a lot of deceptive advertising on Aliexpress regarding shipping. I have used the free shipping option when available on certain purchases which is China Mail. Their tracking shows that the goods arrive in South Africa within 10 days, then it disappears in the customs / post office system for around 2-3 months before you get it (assuming you get it). Fortunately I have received all my items. The deceptive advertising part comes in when you look at courier options like DHL. I was ordering small items like banana plugs and spades. If I bought one small pack, the courier fee was expensive but, not too bad. The moment I want 2 or more packs which will still be a small package under 1kg and help justify the courier fee, the courier fee jumps up with each additional item even though the overall package would not change in size and only increase by a few grams in weight.
