hmm a feedback of just 0.0%..... thats bad....
Sorry dude think you got hold of a bad seller.

Still a ocean of as*holes out there, be it EBAY, Aliexpress etc

oh i did not realize that :/
Didn't know it's like ebay.... thought there are just trustful seller.
Could you send me a link to a trustful seller? :/

@NokiaRocks: I would report them to aliexpress if they prove bad. And did you not use the escrow service ie payment witheld until you approve?

I bought 3 from the following seller took a couple of weeks to arrive

http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/601765

It did approve automatically somehow.. :/
Neither the seller nor aliexpress are answering my message... nice one.

I can also recommend LuciaLui - for me shipment took less than 14 days using hongkong post. Also note that china national post is MUCH slower that hong-kong one, even thought for package it takes ~3 days (from "shipment made" announcement) to arrive at Hongkong from mainland, where LuciaLui resident. Still, even with 3 days more before proceeding start, Hongkong is better. I presume that this will change badly on 2047, when hongkong will loose "special administrative region" rights and become sucked by People Republic...

Well mugen sure has changed their backcover site, now you have to also write down previous battery purchase.
I have purchased a cover now using an old order nr. for a cover
We will see if they will ship it or reject and refund.

also got scammed by another seller, dispute running...

While I was in Taiwan last week, my original n900 battery broke down completely, charging very slowly and discharging fast. Had to buy one locally. Since I didn't see the SCUD ones, I went for a white product one ($7) which the seller claimed was pretty good since she used them herself. So far it holds pretty well. Marked 1200mAh.

We'll see when/if the SCUD arrives :/

I bought a scud from seller "army z" via aliexpress. Pack was sent via China mail, but the tracking site claimed that delivery was unsuccessful on 20/05/11 (I was ome all day) and that final delivery was made on 21/05/11 (I was out of the country). I paid via Aliexpress escrow, and I opened a dispute (requestign a full refund, or details of the local delivery company so I could pursue matters myself), but the seller rejected the dispute. I couldn't find any way of "extendng" the dispute - as in order to make any change to it, I needed to select a radio button on the web form to say whether the goods were received or not. I couldn't select "no" (it didn't let me, the button was not selectable). So, I complained to Aliexpress customr services. They didn't respond until AFTER the dispute had been automatically closed, and they basically just said that the seller says the goods have been delivered, and I didn't update the dispute so it expired automatically and it is now between me and the seller.

I don't know whether

a) the seller actually sent the goods in good faith (I presume the china mail web tracker is a genuine & independant tool, and it did show them being dispatched, transiting china, entering the UK and then the two delivery attempts) and the UK courier has messed up/lost/lied ... or

b) the seller is running some scam where they link to a phoney order tracking site so that you think "I never got my goods but they appear to have done their bit OK"

Anyway, $13 down the drain, it's not worth pursuing further - but be careful of "army z" if you decide to buy the scud via aliexpress.

I've just bought a BL-5J plus desktop charger from here http://www.evertop.co.uk/p/1050111/g...dition-x6.html with next day delivery. Hope it turns out to be genuine (or at least a good fake!) as I need it for a trip to the US this week ...

In spite of the numerous ripoff's can i get you guys to PM me the sellers that worked and not worked so i can add this to post #1
