Hi all
Im new here, and in order to remove my 5 posts restriction and to enrich this topic, here my story of Aliexpress.
I buy a lot of stuff on Aliexpress, and never was disappointed. Well you have to know, you get the cheapest quality, or you have to know where/what to buy.
Often i order electronics, because i can repair it myself. If the item came broken or something else was not okay, a dispute was enough to get a (partial)refund and worked everytime.
Then i found the dolls there. The advertise with picture from all brands WM,Real,SY,etc. have very good 5 Star feedbacks, sold hundrets of times. So i orderet one:

It was a special discount week and i get it for 622$ with heating and pronouncing.
While i was waiting for shipping, i started to inform me, and found this Forum. First i thougt: ok, this Guys dont know the chinese market or they try to protect the known sellers, to not cut their profits.
But i couldn't believe this, so i researched better, whats going on whit this Aliexpress sellers and dolls. In between the seller messaged me:
"My friend, my logistics company told me that the XXX customs forbid adult sex dolls to enter. Do you know this?"
"This doll can't be sent"
I told him its not true, and he said, if the customs will held my Doll, i would loose my money.
So i knew, this transaction smells super fishy. Still let it run, but then found out how this scams works.
There are differen types of them.
In case of this Store:
You get nothing, and he try to prolongue the dispute till the protection Time is over, and you loose doll and money.
They open the store with a few cheap items, get a good reputation and wait for a while. Then they advertise the expensive dolls, you will see a store with 99%+ feedback and a lot of orders on the doll, but no feedbacks on the item.
Next method:

this store has a lot of fake reviews, you will see things such:
- Feedbacks written on english/spanish, no matter from which country the seller is
- Hundreds of comments on the same date(not visibile in the browser) a lot on 23. dezember
- 99% same size and option on the order
- often from Russia and USA
I searched a for a lot of stores, really a lot. No one seems legit. In this thread a guy mentioned the KNETCH store, he ordered from there and get a doll. I think its part of the scam. They try to get a good feedback on the doll maybe, to attract other buyers.
Sorry for the long post, but maybe i can beware another guy to (almost)loose a lot of money. This stores looks legit at first sight, but if you watch better, you will see there will be some strange thing going on like i described.
Search for TPE doll, sort by orders and wou will find this pattern on all shops. Now i believe in this topic
I cancelled my order, refund is in progress.
Thank you for warnig other people, and for this wonderful and polite Forum
