On Good Friday I got an Aliexpress email promoting free shipping and I clicked on the link. On the list was the 12v-110v lunch box 30 mpa compressors for $149 and with a coupon. Not thinking that I would ever get it for that price I still clicked the buy now button. This morning I received the tracking number email and the has been shipped email. Time will tell if I actually get it for $147.47.

Shootm if you got em.

Let us know what arrives, hopefully it won't be lunch box letdown.

The payment had been processed right?

So you are sure to get it for the price you saw and paid...

I am wondering if it just works well like others selling for double or triple the price and is a good deal or not...

When it will arrive? I bought some small stuffs these two weeks too. Some free shipping some paid a very little for shipping and ETA around May to June....

I was curious too, so I went on Aliexpress to see what's what. There are very many shoebox type PCP compressors on the site, various vendors, various prices, various shipping costs and options, as you would expect. Some did have free shipping, the cheapest option for a 12/120V with manual shutoff in the true box shape was around $320 free shipping - expected delivery in June - so the slow boat. Add $120 or so for UPS (and pay the fees when it does arrive) at your door by late April (2 weeks). That site listed 5 versions of PCP up to what looks like the ones we can get locally - and at about the same price as local. There was nothing I saw for $149.xx shipped, so I'm keen to see what does come. McRobert, tell us which model you ordered if you would please.
I have spent a good 3 hrs pumping over Easter weekend, and pulled a muscle in my shoulder/neck doing it so a compressor is in my future. Age has caught up to me.

I have found Aliexpress to offer reduced shipping occasionally when shipping costs usually apply. For instance, a Discovery 3-12x40AOe is usually priced at about $60 plus $44 shipping. I was surfing one morning and the same item was advertised for the same $60, but with free shipping, so I ordered it. I received notice this morning that it has been shipped and tracking is activated. After ordering, I went back to look at the item again immediately after completing the transaction, and the shipping was back to $44. I asked member TCooper to do a search for the item. He found two other prices for the same item. one at $74, one at $88, both with free shipping. They never showed up on my searches.
I have also noticed that an Aliexpress Vendor often offers the same item with shipping costs included in the stated price (free shipping), or a decreased price, with a large shipping cost. In some countries, duty may be charged on the item price, but not the shipping costs, so the seller reduces the item price and inflates the shipping costs to reduce the amount of duty some countries charge.

I have not been disappointed with Aliexpress. You do need patience, however, since delivery can at times be 4-8 weeks. You can pay extra for shipping to reduce the wait time, but it's expensive.

Two lathes and too many projects

It is being shipped UPS I just paid the brokage fee and gst pst. I was already signed in to UPS when I entered the tracking number. Came to $30.80 cad. Ups has it for delivery on April 17 th. The price I paid with free shipping lasted about 18 hrs, but would only come up through the email link. There was a bunch of stuff on the email but my wife was in the doorway tapping her foot, so could have bot more but then I would have gotten the look. You guys know it hard to recover from that. I then had to explain the new big bore. These negotiations are very tough when she waiting to go for breakfast.
