Not used the site for a while, but I had an account. I wanted to order
some electronics (DIY element?), wireless processor module and an Arduino display module for a gadget I am building - so had to log in, on my difficult to control mouse pad laptop.. Enter email and password, move a slider to the right, click button, [Move to next page] type capcha characters in, If you get it right, move to next page. Final page suggests it will email you a code to type in, but it counts down from 60 seconds, or you start over again. Repeatedly and desperately click Send/Receive in Outlook, whilst waiting for delivery of code, which usually arrived out of the 60 seconds timeout. Repeat 6 times over, whilst getting more and more frustrated with AliExpress. |

Indeed, our network only checks for external emails once every three minutes! |

The email always arrives sufficiently speedily though I do manually check for email as the automatic check might miss it. Just this morning got a delivery - and it was only ordered on the first of the month. Tracked all the way. |

Of course, that would imply a degree of confidence... And who knows how the VAT collected is married up with declared value? |
