And here is the catch.....like ebay shops adding 10%....it will not be forwarded to the Australian government. If anyone thinks a Chinese supplier is doing the accounting saving and forwarding the money.....then think again! Its a con. Sure companies like Amazon will forward it but mostly the little places....just pocket it. Its the Harvey Norman Tax


But despite that...I buy from Aliexpress no problems over last 3 years. Sometimes its slow though especially over new years and Chinese new years.
