Saw this hack on mydealz and thought I'd give it a go - it works!

Steps -
1. Add a product to the cart but don't pay yet.
2. Add a Russian address (I used the Moscow McDonald's) to the shipping address at the time of payment. Change your delivery address to this one.
2. Apply the ALI promo code plus any other coupons you have.
3. Use the method of payment "other methods" but do not pay and have the product in the section pending payment. Cancel the order with the option to change the shipping address (done via My Orders screen).
4. Add the same product to the cart again.
5. Apply the ALI promo code with your Australian address.
6. Pay normally.

Tested working.

    Somehow I just bought $15.81 aud worth of stuff and $7.17 aud discount applied automatically….no idea what it’s for and don’t see any coupons applied and didn’t have to do the Russian address routine

    • Three on 31/03/2019 - 09:29

      I got the $7+ off as a first time order new member.

      • donamique on 31/03/2019 - 09:48

        Maybe that’s what it was lol but I already used some $7 off code last order which was my first…this is my second order hmm

  • cd-v on 31/03/2019 - 07:56

    Thanks Dilbert! Worked!

    I checked that it wasn't the first of april

  • SlappersOnly on 31/03/2019 - 08:50

    Worked. Hopefully it doesn’t get rejected 🤷‍♂️

  • LG-13 on 31/03/2019 - 08:56

    Note that when you submit the order the first time with the Russian address, remove any seller coupons. Some are single use and won't be available once the order is cancelled.

  • linkii on 31/03/2019 - 08:58

    Anyone reason why you wouldn't create a new account and use this instead and get US$6 off with lower minimum spend?

    Can you stack the codes?

    • donamique on 31/03/2019 - 09:14

      The minimum per hour wage rate in Australia?

      • linkii on 31/03/2019 - 09:16

        Getting through all those steps in the op will just take as long if not longer than creating a new account.

        • donamique on 31/03/2019 - 09:20

          Fair enough. How about learning a new hack that could potentially be useful in the future again?

          Disclaimer: I used neither so can’t say I’ve timed either. But typing in address again and adding payment again and managing multiple accounts seem like a bit of a hassle…”free” or nearly free stuff is tantalizing but gotta suppress your human heuristics and not fall prey to these tendencies sometimes maybe? I do it myself all the time so gotta admit it’s easier said than done.

            @donamique: Once you figure it out it’s not that time consuming. Just copy and paste a russia address into street address and AliExpress autofill the country etc.

    • Chthonic on 31/03/2019 - 09:14

      I tried this, you can't stack them.

    • SlappersOnly on 31/03/2019 - 09:34

      The coupon doesn’t stack but you can use both. So you can create a new account. Use the new user code, then use the russia bypass code

      • ilikeit on 31/03/2019 - 09:37

        But you need a new CC for every new account right?

        • coolim on 31/03/2019 - 09:40

          Yes,correct or will reject you order

    • gringo on 31/03/2019 - 11:03

      they sometimes cancel the orders after the fact if you are creating multiple accounts

    • BargainTeebone on 31/03/2019 - 18:09

      I'm getting this pop up when I tray to claim the coupon
      "To protect the security of your account, please use another device to sign in.50"
      Happens across all browsers, devices and vpn. Pretty weird. Not sure if a bug or they are actually somehow detecting my duping.

      • MeesusEff on 31/03/2019 - 20:12

        I got that popup when I hadn't verified my account. I signed up yesterday with my work email and mums email, same cc and orders went through

  • alz on 31/03/2019 - 10:01

    worked lol but i bought shit i dont even need just for the sake of using a coupon haha

    Cheers bought a Xiaomi night light for ~$9.50 which was considered a normal price back in 2017 :/.

  • jdf on 31/03/2019 - 10:14

    So interestingly, my cc was still hit with a pre-auth for the amount before cancelling the order and this inspite of choosing the 'pay via Other Methods' option.

    • cryptos on 31/03/2019 - 11:01

      Did you apply the counpon after setting payment to other, if so it has a sneaky habit of switching the payment back to your cc

      • jdf on 31/03/2019 - 13:30

        Yes, that's exactly what I did, although it did take me to the Other Payment method screen. Good to know for next time. Thank you.

  • liquornoodlescabbage on 31/03/2019 - 10:15

    Sweet deal, hopefully we don't get caught out.

  • duckdodgers245 on 31/03/2019 - 10:18

    Perfect timing for me! Worked perfectly, been after a second pair of bluetooth headphones for the gym and picked up for $13 cheaper than what i was originally gonna pay for em! Thank OP!!!

    • haru on 31/03/2019 - 12:26

      Sounds noisy.

  • cyrax83 on 31/03/2019 - 10:24

    Can you use multiple products to get over the US $10?

    • SlappersOnly on 31/03/2019 - 11:00

      Yes. Can use multiple stuff from multiple stores. Also doesn’t have to be a part of the initial order you cancelled.

  • upbeat on 31/03/2019 - 10:26

    Doesn't work for me. Says it's a limited offer. I'll try again

    • whats up skip on 31/03/2019 - 10:35

      Same. Looks like loophole is gone.

  • fan8956 on 31/03/2019 - 10:33

    not working.

    after select "other payment", click "confirm and buy", saying "The system is busy"

    Just worked for me, thanks

  • cyrax83 on 31/03/2019 - 10:51

    Is the code single use?

    • SlappersOnly on 31/03/2019 - 11:01

      Use

      • SlappersOnly on 31/03/2019 - 12:10

        Oops. I’m 99% certain I said single use….

    • woolly on 31/03/2019 - 11:31

      Wouldn't let me use it a second time, so presumably

  • cryptos on 31/03/2019 - 10:51

    how do you get it to pending payment? Do you mean Awaiting payment? Also it just closes the order for me via desktop?

    "3. Use the method of payment "other methods" but do not pay and have the product in the section pending payment. Cancel the order with the option to change the shipping address (done via My Orders screen). "

    • cryptos on 31/03/2019 - 10:58

      So Mydealz states:

      Ideally you should pay the first order to be canceled with the Russian address with a credit card and pay the 2nd real order via Paypal.

    • upbeat on 31/03/2019 - 11:00

      That's my problem too. I end up with the screen awaiting payment and the order here closed if I try to change address

    • Taegukgi on 31/03/2019 - 11:01

      I did it on my phone through Chrome. Maybe try that?

      • upbeat on 31/03/2019 - 11:02

        I AM trying only through that. Can you elaborate on how you got the pending payment status instead of awaiting payment and

        How did you manage to change address after awaiting payment status without it getting closed

        • SlappersOnly on 31/03/2019 - 12:11

          After awaiting payment you then click on the order and cancel it manually.

  • woolly on 31/03/2019 - 10:56

    absolutely (profanity) mint mate, thanks!

  • upbeat on 31/03/2019 - 10:59

    When it says awaiting payment and I try to cancel the order giving reason change shipping address, it goes to status cancelled instead of letting me change address like the post suggests

    • cyrax83 on 31/03/2019 - 11:02
      +1

      You add it back to your cart and checkout again with AU address

    • ilikeit on 31/03/2019 - 11:13

      As above, re-add to your cart.

  • cryptos on 31/03/2019 - 11:12

    So my order just went thru by spending around $20AUD using the "ali" coupon and no messing around with Russia, got $7.17 off… PS, I've used this account for many orders

  • ilikeit on 31/03/2019 - 11:14

    Thanks OP. Worked for me. Got a watch strap for about half price.

  • KaTst3R on 31/03/2019 - 11:43

    Cant go through. Once I go back to the order page, the order is closed and the reason is "due to security reasons…"

      Got it working with another way, on the check out page, try change the shipping address back to Australia address then apply the code, it worked this way for me after so many time auto closed order.
