I have tried to triple triple check this, as it can't be right.. but am seeing 99% off Liitokala 600 charger, with UK/EU/US figure-8 plug, w/ car charger as well for some bundles. As usual the AliExpress browsing is a bit of a mess.
Oos
have the lii500 for years, it is a solid charger !!!
Always get the charger first. If you get the batteries first, it can leave you a little flat
Best to get both the charger and the batteries at the same time. If just the charger first, it just sits there doing nothing.
Just my luck
Ordered one a couple hours before this deal for $50! On aliexpress! From that same seller! Wth
Please hand in your Ozbargain membership.
i'll miss you guys
Best of luck on topbargains
Had the li-402. The input port broke/fell in after a few uses. Will never recommend from my experience but yeah at this price , sure
I've been using a Lii-500 daily for a few years and it's been solid (and accurate measured against a Fluke multimeter). My more expensive Xtar charger hasn't been used for ages because it's flakey. It also outlasted another more expensive charger I've forgotten the brand of. That's just the way it goes with the Chinesium dice-roll, I guess.
I really should invest in a high quality li-ion charger considering how often I use them, and considering their potential to burn the house down.

Good idea. I suppose you have been lucky not to blow yourself up with the cheap stuff thus far
Well, I've used Xtar, Nitecore, efest and LiitoKala so far — apart from a brief stint with a no name charger or two many years ago.
What do you suggest?
I have a hunch there's at least 1 person who bought a lot more than 2 to sell for profit. There's always one.
If there is a massive bargain, there will be at least one Broden.
A few more than one, I reckon.
Broden.
Anyone just get an Order Closed email for this?
Yep. Sad face.
Ordered closed as well
Same, closed for security concerns.
that's super weird - wonder what security concerns they referring to ..
something to do with quantity, or payment method?
Nope, fingers crossed. Ordered just one paid by CC.
My order (2 units, PayPal) is still open, although I think it's just a matter of time. The vendor is probably busy trying to cancel everything.
thankfully, no 'order closed' email yet…. hoping only the few of you below in this thread have been the unfortunate recipients of that :(
Did ya order a bunch of them? or pay by some wacky method?
Mine is shipped
pls have another chat with your cousin in the AE warehouse and tell him to prioritise OP's order! :)
Iāve got a refund processing notice so Iām in line for anyone in Vic who ordered more than one..
Still not cancelled here, but taking way longer than usual for something to ship out on AliExpress…
this is my 1st AE purchase.. i was wondering what their standard release time was to get a delivery on the way … !
My last 3 orders (before this one) from Aliexpress have been shipped out within 24, 48 & 72 hours respectively.
I honestly would not hold my breath for this one - there is no way the vendor is going to honour this. They have no reason to. Their market is international and they don't care about a small customer base in Australia. The seller market in China is pretty cut-throat and they can't afford to be losing money.
It sounds like they have cancelled some orders. I suspect they will let the rest lapse (11 days shipping limit imposed by AE, or whatever it is) and there will be auto-refunds at that time.
yeah fair enough - i see easternculture saying it shipped, so still hoping ;)
so, has anyone actually had theirs ship yet?
mine's still pending, the reports on items actually out for delivery seems basically non-existent. bummer :(
same
Mine says will ship within 6 days or automatically be refunded. I know which one my bets are on.
Thank heavens for automatic refundsā¦ I pity the poor sucker who would have to cancel thousands of orders one by one
Are automatic refunds like get of out jail free cards for lazy AliExpress sellers?
I have had a few items not ship in time, and refunded after asking about the shipment status. The seller apologises profusely and claims no stock available despite listing more than 100 pieces left. SMH.
just got shipping notification - suggest you extend your auto expiry on the order if you can
yeah good call .. i'd never bought anything from AE before, and misunderstood what that figure meant during my initial rush to purchase on 12/11. I'd pushed it out to 50days at same time as purchase .. then realised it related to the auto-expiry/refund if not received by that date…..
Whoop, mine has shipped.
Paid by MasterCard
Bought 1x UK plug no car adaptor
Mine just shipped out :)
Mine too
I just got notification that my two via Paypal has shipped, it was due to auto cancel tomorrow.
Anyone else?
Yep same
Shipped also!
…and cancelled
This now looks legit, I highly doubt they will be sending faking tracking numbers when it was due to auto refund in one day.
Mine shipped, but they could give us all fake tracking number???
There have been many occasions I found something significantly cheaper than other sellers and placed my orders.
The sellers messaged me asking to cancel the order due to being out of stock or to pay extra due to rising product/delivery cost. I refused to pay more nor cancel the order.
A few days later, the orders showed shipped with either an untracked tracking number or a tracking number but delivered to somewhere in Australia (I guess it's a valid tracking number from another customer).
I ended up having to open a dispute and they quickly refunded it.
My 2 have also shipped :-)
oh wow me too! awesome! I was 99% sure we were headed for failure on this one haha!
Shipped as well for me! With a tracking number. Cheers @swampson
shipped for me, I ordered 1
Mine has shipped too. Iād been watching expecting it to be cancelled. Thanks OP. What a bargain!
The guy who bought 100 is probably cheering now š¤£š¤£š¤£
Shipped š
Woohoo, shipped for me too! Thanks OP, for once did not receive a cancellation email :)
Still cancelled in the end lol.
Shipped for me too! Woot!
now i guess many are waiting at the next step "The tracking information has not been updated yet" :)
I'm wondering if there is now an issue, they probably gave us all the same tracking number
have you been provided one?
Yes, everyone got one.
mine still says "The tracking information has not been updated yet" since 23/11
@swampson: If you look on the right hand side, there's actually a number. I think there's just no tracking data yet.
@atlas: ah ok, i see now. you're right. There's a small ">" button, and then next screen says
"Awaiting seller dispatch
NEXAU98xxxxxxxYQ"
First order from AE, so did not realise that was available….
anyone else confirm they actually have a tracking #?
@RichardF89: Oopss my bad, there is slight difference
AUS3259xxxx1514
Im not sure if the 4 digits are the same or not
I have the similar tracking number AUS325xxxxx1514 but it appears different to the others here, also suspicious that is ends in 1514
The tracking suggests nothing has even been shipped, Awaiting seller dispatch
@chk: Tracking numbers starting NEXAU wont show until they have reached sorting facility in australia
@easternculture: ok good to know. To me, it looks like the seller hasn't even shipped the battery chargers at all.
I ordered a usb hub after this liitokala deal, the usb hub has a tracking number and I can see updates (processing at sorting centre, out for delivery)
My tracking number is AUS32581XXX1514.
I'm thinking COVID lockdowns in China may be part of the delay.
I don't think so some how, my other orders are moving and getting updates.
This is a rollercoaster
Just received an email saying order cancelled š
same here
same
Same here - the party is over lol
Also just got an email saying order cancelled despite shipping with the same tracking number as everyone else, no refund though
Got the same email , how can you cancel a order a week after you sent it ?
Fake dispatch notifications are rampant on Aliexpress.
Fake dispatch notifications are the only dispatch notifications on Aliexpress
Sad, seems cancelled but shipped a week past
Cancelled too. How do I get my refund?
Reverse scam, they have our $2.6
PayPal claim?
I lodged a dispute through AliExpress and got a refund pretty quickly
I tried opening a dispute and it won't let me at the moment. It says "Refund can't be processed right now. Please wait as the tracking is updating. Thank you for your patience".
Do it via the chatbot. I typed " Order cancelled by supplier" and raise a dispute and refunded me with an hour.
@Iluvfreebies: Thank you for the hot tip, doing the same now. What a joke, a month after purchasing with a week or so before delivery, the order is cancelled. That's Ali for you.
Same lol ………..
yup not surprisingly same here - oh well, i guess part of me knew it was always possible!
They probably should just keep the money after all the inconvenience we put them through
and order cancelled….
I didn't know that either.
However my old multi-charger (Nitecore D4) doesn't seem to have any problem charging my Eneloop and LADDA every week for the past few years.
