Before the trip I was going nuts on Aliexpress. I was hitting 100% success, and the deals were great. Shipping time is now 7 to 10 days.
But then I hit the sleazy vendor, which, by definition, is a subsistence person living on no margin. If you wanted the old Eaton's model of 'Satisfaction Guaranteed', you needed 100% margins. Costco does well with 30% margins, but you still hit independent, no margin, vendors on Amazon.
This is a huge wet blanket on shopping enthusiasm. They don't understand the consequences. I have been cured of shopaholic-ness. I'll just receive my last shipments, and that's it. I will just not buy anything.
ps SITUATION IS RESOLVED. I finally found the right buttons to press to get to a higher authority. They agreed with me, and I received a refund. I left feedback that the process was not kind, but I have hope they will improve.
ps. after the trip, time to go back to shopping!

I thought you'd gone all American. Buying any old tat and then sticking it in the garage for posterity.
blah blah, war against 'merica
IMHO, the bloke's a nut job and need a proper kicking to put him in his place.
