Did anyone else notice that almost everything from Ali Express does not ship to NZ? I add about 25 items to the cart, all showing they are free shipping. At checkout, shows none can be shipped to selected address. I went back and checked my default address and its the same that I have always used. Is anyone else noticing this pattern?
Thank you. I went ahead and added a card to the payment methods, and I needed to save it in order for the cart to display the items.
I bought a few items last week, free shipping used debit card.

If I pay with my American Express card it charges me in US $. If I use my Paypal, it charges me in UK pounds. Go figure…just whacky!
AliExpress has completely lost it since Temu, they missed a big opportunity and now that boat has sailed.
In what way? Nothing I'd want to buy is on Temu, only AliExpress.
I didn't mean to suggest that Ali Express has become worse. You're right that Temu probably only sells 50% of what Ali Express does, not all Ali Express items are available on Temu. However, Temu does offer a lot of affordable items that probably meet the needs of about 70% of general shoppers, and their easy checkout process with options like Afterpay or using their app makes shopping there very convenient. Living on South Island, I receive items from Temu in just 4-6 days, which is faster than many New Zealand retailers. So, I've started splitting my purchases between the two. For instance, I bought a Viofo dash cam from Ali Express, but when I needed Mayjam diffuser oils, I chose Temu, even though they were also available on Ali Express.

We found that happens when using PayPal. Went through fine with CCard.
