Quote from: ashmatko on November 01, 2026, 12:00:12 AMThanks for replies, I purchased r8170 mini group today for $1205 from Ali (Anrancee)
Seems like Rakuten cash back went through($328 pending in my account)

Quick update on my order:
Seems like the Anrancee used UPS Express Saver shipping method (first time seeing Aliexpress seller using this method).
This is very unfortunate and frustrating, since in all my experiences with UPS/FedEx I was required to pay customs/tax fees.

Update 2:
I contacted the seller and they explained that the lithium battery is the reason for UPS method. They also explained that they declared a low value for the order.

Looking for an advise from someone who ordered di2 in Canada.
I'm planning to buy r8170 mini group-set.

What's your experience ordering from aliexpress (anrancee store) or from anrancee website? Did you end up paying extra fees upon receiving the order?

I'm concerned that Canadian customs will flag/hold the order that contains a lithium battery and potentially will re-evaluate the total value of items. Should I be worried about it and if so, should I just buy a shifters+brakes+ derailleurs kit instead?

Secondly, what's the cheapest way between aliexpress and anrancee website?
Aliexpress will have 11.11 sale in 3 days with $90 off ($226 off limited coupon) and potential rakuten cashback.
So, is it worth to buy from aliexpress during the sale over anrancee directly?
