It's not "their" delivery system, though. Their logistics system ends at the border. After that it's in the hands of whoever did the local delivery.
Doesn't really matter. In the end, I should know that ordering from AliExpress where I live just ends up as packages being "delivered" and me not finding most of them.
Well, I kind of think blaming the right people is important. But it's easier to blame people literally half a world away from you, isn't it?
Fuck off with your assumptions! You seem to think I'm blaming ThE ChiNeSE HaLF a WoRLd AwAy. I mentioned I'm also buying from eBay and the packages are delivered to me, and I can find them! I'm "blaming" AliExpress' weird delivery system, not a whole country nor ethnicity. Again, if AliExpress sent my orders via normal post, I would be able to find them. But because they send them via multiple weird courrier companies that just end up dumping packages on the floor of a high rise lobby and mark it as delivered, it's just pointless for me to order from them. If there's one person to blame, it's me for ordering from them when I know it's a huge gamble.
I'm glad if it's working well for people living in houses and for others, but for me, ordering from AliExpress doesn't work most of the time. It's not the fault of people HaLf A WoRlD AwAy, it's just not working out for me where I live. Stop putting words in my mouth.
AliExpress' "weird delivery system" is THE FUCKING POST OFFICE YOU IDIOT!
No it's not. Not in my country. Here it's independent courriers like "Apple Express". Last time it was something called "eMile".
The regular post has access to my mailbox, knocks on my door for bigger packages, and leaves notes asking me to go get it at the post office if I'm not home. This is what happens with eBay. But every time I ordered from AliExpress, it was sent by some random "logistics company" and my packages end up "delivered" in places where I can't find them,. It's absolutely not the regular post for what I have ordered from them in the past.
