I JUST BOUGHT STUFF BEFORE IT HIT 12:00AM, any chance I can get the new cashback?
Yeah buy again and cancel your first order.
I'd be waiting around for the refund on the first order though?
Okay so don't cancel then?
It's very clear what the eligibility requirements are to get 8 88%
The 10% GST has really made Aliexpress fairly unappealing for alot of things
I have never purchased from Aliexpress so unsure if they include a receipt that I can use to claim TRA when taking the product overseas?
i've been told you can't claim TRS on items purchased from overseas, even if GST is paid.
That is correct
I don't know if they call this GST, but I know they call it some sort of "duties".
The thing is, if Goods & Services produced within the boundaries of a country, are taxed, for the benefits of the citizens of the country,
then why should foreign items produced using foreign resources, be taxed as GST too ?I get that it's a 'consumption tax' for the Australian public, but consuming foreign goods is collected by the Australian government?
How about the the AU government collect the taxes from the mega-rich ? !
Goods & Services produced within the boundaries of a country
It's a tax that is charged at consumption not production.
Hence why it applies to items made locally or imported, and taxed is applied when sold (based on sale price)@SBOB: A tax that is charged by a business/entity that is Australian, right?
Should foreign merchants be collecting GST for another government ?
@whyisave: I honestly don't have an issue with it.
Major overseas retailers shipping direct to customers. So the tax applies at consumption (ie you getting your order). It's not a tax on the seller.
It's either charged there, or at the point of import.Doing at import means significantly more overheads and man hours (plus delayed shipments). Just look at VAT in the UK for example, where it's changed on import and VAT bills sent to the consumer.
Hence why it use to be applied to orders for items over $1k, due to overheads costs to apply it.
But none of this is shopback talk ;)
What has suddenly become too expensive to purchase from AliExpress due to GST?
Fresh fruit and vegetables
?
precisely. I would only look at low value items that ebay doesn't sell.
Good ol Gerry Harvey and Joe Hockey looking after Australian jobs.
agree.
+ 15% cashback.
- 10% "duties"The 10% GST has really made Aliexpress fairly unappealing for alot of things
what? it is still cheaper than ebay …
ebay and paypal have better customer protections than Aliexpress.
AliExpress are terrible until you're a Gold, Platinum or Diamond level member. Being a few $$$ off Platinum they refunded me within 7 days of a lost package a few weeks back. No questions asked.
Thanks OP, just bought a few hours prior. Cancelled those orders and it came out to be just under $50. Was meant to be.
Hope shopback works. Been hit and miss for me.
How long does it take for money to come back?
100 days and 2 days to track. Tracking just came through in about 30 mins.
Thanked for the reply. However I meant the refund for purchasing the item… Half don't trust alie express!
@Circly: I was getting instant refunds at one stage. No questions asked. Was automated. Think this is only on trusted accounts though with big spends.
A bit off topic, would ordering anything from coronavirus infected country is a good idea currently? What I know is it's human to human contact that makes this virus spread but would handling the item we bought can also like by cough etc?
Coronavirus spores won't last weeks without a host.
That's reassuring. But some virus is able to lay dormant isn't it.
Viruses are parasites and can't exist without a host to sustain them. Most are "dead" within a few minutes of leaving a human body, although the most resilient, norovirus, can survive for up to two weeks on hard surfaces.
Bacteria on the other hand can lie dormant in endospores for perhaps indefinitely.
slow delivery has never been so good :)
Asking the real question here. With young kids in the house..I too did think about this. Was telling myself to open it in the garage then trash the wrappings and sanitise my hands.
Kind of absurd.
There is a 1665 example where a damp packet of cloth came up from London by carriage in bad weather to Eyam, a village in the Peak District. In London 60% of people died. The tailor hung the cloth templates about his home to dry from the warmth of the fire. He was the first plague victim in Eyam. The village of Eyam isolated themselves from the rest of the Peak District.
The difference is fleas were the vector organism in that example
Not necessarily as yersinia pestis can also spread through the air.
The plague was caused by the bacterium yersinia pestis, which is completely different to a virus.
better not buy any iphones then, or 80% of electronic goods since regardless of the point of sale, they spent some time in China.
btw, the Corona has made its way to a bunch of countries already, including the US and Japan. Better not buy anything from there either. Oh wait, doesn't Japan make a bunch of components used in just about everything? Uh oh.
Corona originated in Mexico City at cerveceria modelo. It transferred to humans from lime juice particles as a lime wedge was squeezed into the neck of a bottle.
Does shopback track via AliExpress app?
(It doesn't appear to exclude it, but I seem to recall it didn't in the past?)Chemist warehouse reducing cashback…😠We should hold on buying until they give 10%
8.88 is luckier than 10
that's why Google uses 8.8.8.8 as DNS :P
Not really any they use 8.8.8.8
Considering 10.x.x.x is a reserved local address space, would be pretty hard to run a global public DNS server at 10.10.10.10. ;)
Would you buy anything of value from Aliex? I don't doubt I'll receive it, but my after sales support experience has not been great. Sellers always say I am not using it correctly or I'm doing something wrong on my end instead of admitting the item is junk and needs replacement. Making a claim the item is counterfeit is going to be a case of their word against yours.
I've successfully received refunds for products "not working as described" multiple times.
Just make sure you describe the issue properly and take good photos to substantiate your claim. There is no issue with the remediation process.they ask for photos of things you either can't give photos for or they wouldn't be useful. e.g. sound issues. They're doing everything they can to avoid any responsibility. In the case of ebay, they are always biased in favor of the customer. As soon as you make a dispute, the funds you paid them are inaccessible and frozen until they sort it out, even if the customer had no valid claim.
I bought headphones and made a short video of the issue in a silent area. Uploaded it to a free hosting service and sent the link in the dispute. Refund was issued pretty much straight away. Bit of a work around.
keep in mind guys Chinese new year holidays start today, lasts 2 weeks, so allow for extra time for shipping
last year i ordered a tablet at the start of CNY and it took them ~2 weeks to post my item, all in all it took 1 month to arrive in Sydney YMMV.
Technically Chemist Warehouse was 4% yesterday.. but anyway ;)
I ordered yesterday.. and it didn't track. Hopefully it comes through.
Damn it just made a Chemist Warehouse order yesterday…
did it track?
nope
Alie is multiple transactions right?
hope so. i just did two
Last time they had 15% cashback, the phone I bought didn't track, and Shopback never answered my messages. My missing cashback claim was also rejected. Meanwhile, the smaller items I bought all tracked. This has happened several times before.
So if you're going to buy a higher value item, it's hit or miss whether it'll track or not even if you're doing everything correctly. It's pretty dodgy how low value items always track, but higher value items have issues half the time.
yeh that's why I've never done a high value groupon holiday cashback or something.
Groupon is the riskiest for all platforms. Their in house affiliate tracking is seriously unreliable.
AliExpress
higher value
anomaly detected
Bought multiple items valued BEFORE GST $139.24, completed transactions at 11.55PM. Got tracked now with total cashback of only $5.21.
15% of $139.24 should be $20.88 right? Even the standard 5% also should be $6.96.
Anyone had the same issue? This is not the first time this has happened. I bought over $500 during their 11.11 and 12.12 Sales Events last year. Same issue, always incorrect cashback amount tracked.
is the chemistwarehouse cashback eligible for "click and collect"?
Yes
Nice, thanks

Were they from 1 shop or multiple? I got caught by this as well in the past. If it was for multiple, you'll only get cashback from one of the shops. Aliexpress charges you in 1 payment, but splits into multiple orders based on store, so tracking is only against one of the stores :(
They're 10 transactions from multiple shops. All 10 transactions got tracked, but the tracked amounts were incorrect.
In this case, do you mean Ali tracked only one store purchase value, then split that tracked amount into 10 transactions?
No, only one transaction from the order got tracked for me when I had multiple transactions from different stores in the one order.
Has anyone's order been marked as sent yet?
Most are closed till the 1st due to CNY
All my orders have been extended from 5 days to another 16 days before they will automatically refunded if not sent. Yeah right ! What happen to the 5 days remains? I even cannot get the automatic refund even I cancel the order, pending approval from seller. I can understand with the current situation in China, but they cannot do this. My recent order via ebay was still able to be sent, why not from Ali Express? Taking my money first and then keep postponing sensing order. Not happy! Grrrr
Yeah its a bit annoying. Can't do much at the moment.
Anyone know the valid until?
