HI all long time lurker and first time poster - see when you guys order from Aliexpress do you change currency from USD to GBP? Im looking to order for Christmas how soon do you think I should order?

Ill post a few bargains ive found - mostly for stocking fillers from Amazon :)

My free internet tablet arrived today from the Taste card offer. Haven't played it yet, but it looks like a good size Smile

BuddyKringleberry · 04/09/2014 13:39

Thank you so much to the lady who recommend Shen yuans store on Aliexpress. Anna and Elsa arrived today (ordered 19th Aug) and are brilliant quality. twitching to go back for Sven and Olaf now x

BuddyKringleberry · 04/09/2014 13:41

flynn I think I would order sooner rather then later. All of my bits have arrived within 2-3 weeks, but I guess the wait times may get longer now as normal people start thinking ahead to christmas.

I can change the currency to £ only on the desktop site x

lucysmam · 04/09/2014 13:49

Grrrr! I'm three quid short for my order of Frozen stuff from Aliexpress until the morning Sad

WildFlowersAttractBees · 04/09/2014 13:54

Buddy could you link to the store please, I am on page 9 of frozen dresses and no luck!
I am the opposite of you, bought Sven and now need a dress!

Flynn84 · 04/09/2014 14:08

Flynn84 · 04/09/2014 14:15

Wild think this is the link BUddy may have used

Anna Elsa

Rosvita · 04/09/2014 14:16

Spotted the new magic dress change sleeping beauty doll for £16.65 rather than £24.99 in sainsburys today.couldnt resist buying it at that price as was on dd's list just hoping my nana will be happy I buy it off me to give to her as I've already bought her way too much

BuddyKringleberry · 04/09/2014 14:21

Thanks for linking flynn I can't from my phone, those are indeed the ones I got! X

Scaredycat3000 · 04/09/2014 14:23

Flynn as I understand it the what currency you pay by is a credit card issue. If you pay by £ the amount you are charged by Ali is what you get billed by your credit card. If you pay by any foreign currency you may get a currency converter charge and are at the will of whatever exchange rate the credit card decide to charge you, just like when you go on holiday. Disclaimer I haven't been abroad in years and creditcard rules have changed quite a bit recently. So I play it safe by picking GBP, I know exactly what I'm paying.

Hi, progress report on the Oakleys from enjoy-glasses.com
I have a tracking number for a parcel which appears to be coming from china. So they are likely knock offs or seconds from factory. I will update again when they arrive. It does look like I will get something though!

ISpyPlumPie · 04/09/2014 14:27

Know it was a while ago, so may have been sorted by now but someone was asking about little tea sets in a tin. Have just seen red and white spotty ones for £4.99 in Home Bargins. They also had a Peppa Pig set for £1.99 but it wasn't in a tin.

While I was there managed to get DS1 an Angry Birds game for £5.99 and Angry Birds erasers for a bargainous 19p - perfect for stocking fillers. Struggling a bit for stocking stuff for DS2, who will just have turned two but got him a two weebles for£1.99 which is a start.

Flynn84 · 04/09/2014 14:29

some wee things for stocking fillers (hope Ive linked right lol)

stackable snowman crayons - £1.30
Star LED Light - £1.46
Ballet girl necklace - 69p
Water drawing mat - £2.34
Maraccas - 35p

Flynn84 · 04/09/2014 14:30

scaredycat I selected GBP on the homepage but anytime I got to my basket it turns it back to dollars :(

lucysmam · 04/09/2014 14:33

Flynn are you using it on a phone?

Mine does that every now & again. Coming out of aliexpress & going back later seems to make it behave & show my basket total in pounds. Not a flippin' clue how! It kept kicking me off desktop onto mobile as soon as I clicked an item this morning. Gone back to it this afternoon & it's showing everything on desktop & in pounds Confused

Flynn84 · 04/09/2014 14:37

lucy nope on my pc at home ill try again later :)

Kettricken · 04/09/2014 14:55

In my sainsburys today they had bags of Lego Chima reduced from about £12 down to £3.90. I bought the lot but I'm sure other stores will have them tooGrin

lucysmam · 04/09/2014 14:59

Strange Confused

Chockywockydoodah · 04/09/2014 15:00

I want to have a Home Bargains nearby !!

Scaredycat3000 · 04/09/2014 15:02

Flynn I have no basket to open at the moment so from memory, top right hand corner of any page click on

Ship to / GBP / Select Language

And make sure it says GBP and save. If you mean at the check out along the top of the payment box the yellow bar has a coin on it, click on that and pick GBP, that's the one you actually pay in, the important bit. Hope that helps.
Right have to do the school run then off to Sainsburys for more bargains Grin

WildFlowersAttractBees · 04/09/2014 15:07

Thanks, sorry I misread and thought it was the dresses. Whoops.

KEGirlOnFire · 04/09/2014 15:14
