Yep, TCB app to AliExpress app has been the most reliable method for me.

kizzaaa on TerraMaster F4-424 Pro NAS $799 Delivered @ TerraMaster via Amazon AU

Depends on your luck with sales - I picked up a DS923+ at this price point in January 2023.

Easiest way for me has been to use AliExpress app to load cart, go to TCB app and click link in app (which brings you back to AliExpress…

OzBrogains on Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 Gravel Bicycle $1999 (Was $3499) C&C Only @ Trek

This is the way - Light Bicycle are great, and I've also had wheels from FarSports and XMCarbonSpeed that have been excellent too.

wobba79 on Trek Checkpoint ALR 5 Gravel Bicycle $1999 (Was $3499) C&C Only @ Trek

Still a good choice - excellent bikes either way. Grizl or Grail?

That's been my experience with buying bicycle parts from factories in China - any of the decent suppliers will take PayPal.

If you're buying YBN chains from AliExpress, how can you tell if they're fake?

raisinberry777 commented on AliExpress Fake Shimano Bike Chains etc
For OP: Shimano chains and pedals online are rife with fakes - definitely a no-go. I'd flat out just avoid AliExpress for chains due to the…

jollster101 on Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9E i5-12450HX, 16GB DDR5, 512GB SSD, RTX 3050 6GB 65W, 15.6" FHD IPS 300nits 144Hz $899 Delivered @ Lenovo

The Lenovo LOQ AMD with a 4050 ends up being around $1150 after cashback - that's a decent option.

lambsie on [Used] Dell UltraSharp U3419W 34" UWQHD IPS 60Hz Curved Monitor (No Stand) 3-Month Warranty $199 + Del / $0 MEL C&C @ BPC Tech

Yep - after going for the 3415W a few months ago I wish I'd waited for this instead.

The 520 is a substantially better deal than this for an extra $80. Better groupset (transmission parts) and brakes.…

CyberMurning on HP Laptop 17.3 inch FHD i7/16GB/500GB 17-cn3029TU $999 Delivered @ HP Store

Except the USB-C doesn't support display out, so this is pretty meh.

Same experience for me with TravelKon - worked straight away from landing, really simple setup. Good speeds, plenty of 5G coverage.

Mine from the previous deal was 2018 - seems like it's just down to luck.

Aeongrave on [Used] Dell UltraSharp U3415W 34" Curved Monitor - No Stand $262.65 ($256.47 with eBay+) + $20 Del (Free C&C) @ UN Tech eBay

Current model is 120hz, but that has only been the case since the U3425WE was released in February. I bought this from the previous deal…

trarob on HP OMEN 31.5 Inch IPS QHD 165Hz Gaming Monitor $347.20 Delivered @ HP eBay

The question is more whether you want an ultrawide or not, and then consider the panel type.

This ought to be pinned to the top of every thread asking whether a novated lease is worth it.

The best price is the one you listed it at.

sp0ngeb0b on [Used] Dell UltraSharp U3415W 34" 3440x 1440 21:9 Curved Monitor - NO Stand $219 + $20 Delivery ($0 MEL C&C) @ UN Tech

No. It doesn't support USB-C.

Just a VPN - I went with Philippines after trying Turkish signup kept rejecting my card. No issues using normal Australian card in the…

raisinberry777 commented on YouTube Premium Options?
I'm using Philippines - $10 for a family plan per month, just went up from $6. No issues.

TsunamiInTheHouse on Virgin Australia Return to Bali: BNE $283, CBR $403, HBA $431, CNS $450, GC $468, SYD $503, MEL $537 @ IWTF

It's good for Hobart - due to the extra leg most flights out of Hobart end up costing a reasonable amount extra.

It won't have Australian maps installed, you'll have to pay to install those.

Yeah, I tried some Supernovas in a prior sale when they were $54, and they felt like a $54 pair of shoes. Mileage was pretty poor and…

SupeNintendoChalmers on BYD Seal: Premium $55,798 (was $58,798), Performance $65,748 (was $68,748) + On Road Costs ($1,000 Deposit) @ BYD

Pretty sure that's what @Caped Baldy is implying there.

You have to pick your sellers carefully, but there are a few legitimate Shimano parts sellers on AliExpress. Main fakes to be careful of…
