I hope this isn't perceived as advertising.. I'm quite apprehensive about making this purchase and will absolutely update with my progress if/when the console arrives.
In the meantime, if anyone out there has any experience buying through AliExpress I would love to hear from you. This is my first purchase and I feel like it's a total gamble.
If this is somehow perceived as advertising, mods please delete immediately. I do not want to violate any rules. This community is too awesome to lose!
Did you charge it back through your bank? Very easy to do in the UK at least
In fairness, I very much doubt a chargeback would even get so far as a human.
From what I've seen with other companies across different continents, a chargeback triggers an automatic account ban with whichever retailer and that's that.
