I put on the Aliexpress app on my Android tablet about 5 months ago.   Starting around 5 days ago, I have been running into more and more problems trying to go through my routine of collecting coins.   The app works fine for looking at items, putting items in my cart, and purchasing items.   But the coin section and the 3 games have been having more and more problems.  (Go-Go Match, Merge Boss, and Play and win.)   In my coin section, I can collect my daily 70 coins, but when I click on the "earn more coins" icon, my app reboots.   Almost the exact same thing is happening with the 3 games.  I open a game from either the coins icon or via my account icon and when the program loads to about, 80%, the app reboots or locks up.

I have rebooted my tablet and reinstalled the Aliexpress App and this doesn't help.  I have checked to see that I have the latest software updates, I have cleaned up the tablet's memory and unused files and checked/cleaned up the memory.   None of this helps.   

I am fairly sure that it is the Aliexpress app. 

Because of this, I can't play the games and get the highest level of bonuses.  I keep resetting to day 1 levels.    I feel like I already waste too much time collecting coins, but the problem  is irritating me enough that I may abandon the App altogether. 

Anyone else having problems like these?

Edit:  Opening games was also becoming very slow before these other problems manifested.

for the past several weeks, I have been continually seeing Aliexpress's "Page under maintenance"  coffee cup appear when I click on almost all of the items on their "Super Deals",  "First come 50% off", "$1.99 off" and "Choice" items.

This is starting to become very frustrating.  How is one to be a good consumer of sale items on Aliexpress, if one can't even view and read about the item?
This appears to be happening almost any hour of the day. 

Anybody else seeing this happen to their shopping experience?

Edit: Yes, I am an Aliexpress addict and I need my fix researching available cycling part deals, and finding other mass produced consumer items. 

I discovered that my Waltly custom 29er TI frame has some bad cracks in the seat stay to seat tube.   
Sumi, at Walty, has proposed 2 approaches.

1.  Send the frame back to China for repair.
2.  Split the cost of a new frame 50/50.

I want what will be the most cost effective approach to either repair or replace the frame.

I need input from the forum to help me figure out the best approach.

-  Does anyone know of a US shop that welds and repairs TI frames?   If yes, what is the typical cost to weld/reinforce/repair the cracks?
-  Does anyone know a cost effective way to ship the frame back to China/Waltly.   -  Looking online I have found shipping estimates between about $400 and $1200
-  I believe that a 50/50 split for a new frame could cost up to $700.

Thanks.

On March 25th, 2023, I placed an order for a set of the the Wheeltop EDS shifter from an Aliexpress store called "Bikinge Store"  Just about a $400 transaction with coupons.    After 2 weeks, the tracking information stated that the package was being returned to the store.   I wrote the seller and asked them what was happening.   They replied that they would mail it to me again once the confirmed that they had received the package back.   2 weeks later, they told me that they had shipped it by UPS.   I asked for the tracking number.  They wrote back, "not to worry, it was shipped".  Every 2 days, I would write asking for confirmation that they had shipped the item to me.   About once a week they would reply with some sort of apology and that I should receive the box soon.  Then they wrote me that I should have received the item.  At day 40, I told them that I wanted a refund or proof that they shipped the item again.   Crickets.   I waited 5 more days then requested a refund from Aliexpress.   Needless to say, Aliexpress has approved a full refund.

Hopefully anyone that reads this will boycott this store.   

My plans for upgrading a second bike to the EDS system has been ruined for spring riding.   Plus, I have to select another seller and spend an additional $30 to $40 to purchase as the current prices.  (Or perhaps wait months until there is another sale.)

I placed several orders via Aliexpress, Some on Feb. 27th then some more items on March 7th.   This time, instead of only bike parts, I ordered some cycling clothing some electrical items, and an electric gas generator carburetor.   Guess what! All of the non-bicycle items I ordered on March 7th, are already being delivered to me. (8-9 day delivery.)
Out of the 4 bike parts I ordered, on Feb 27th, only one has been delivered.  As far as I can tell, several of the bike parts may have not even been shipped yet. (I've written the sellers/stores and asked if they have delivered the item and they claim they have shipped. (All the parts are smaller items except for a carbon dropper handlebar.)

When I look at all my orders of bike parts over the past 3 months, about 60% of bike parts are delivers between 3 weeks and a month.   All the other items have been arriving between 7 and 11 days.

What are your delivery times these days for bike parts?

Somewhere in the recent past, I saw a discussion on the EDS Chinese 12 speed system.   I can't remember it it was on this forum or on MTBR forum.

Has anyone been using this system and have actual experience on their bike?
It appears that since last year, the price has gone up to $420 versus $365 when it was first reviewed on You Tube.
