You just need to change the currency to US$, and it will work. The site is perfectly legit. If you select priority shipping, it will take about 10 days. Standard shipping is dependent on the post office.

 

thanks Henry, will try again tonight.

What about using PayPal?

Felt like such a mission last night to set up PayPal and honestly I know nothing about it. Probably need to do some research on it.

Do it. Once done it makes life a lot easier for buying online and you have protection for transactions from dodgy sellers.

Hi all,

 

Anyone order shirt and bib set of aliexpress before? I just want to hear how sizing was for you, did you take your normal size. I am usually a Medium but their size chart has me at 2XL... Clearly I am big in China.

Howzit my China :D  . I wear a Large and rarely a medium in SA sizes but always order XL from aliexpress. Size is spot on. Just go one size larger and you should be ok . I'm 1.74m and 84kg and the XL fits fine

I've bought a lot of kit off Aliexpress before but I can honestly say that most of their stuff is crap.

I'd avoid any sort of team kit, or replica stuff, it's obviously fake and tends to fit about as well as plastic packet and lasts about as long. 

 

I can however highly recommend SPEXCEL (check out their official store on aliexpress), they have great fitting (race fit) tops and bibs, the chamois are comfortable and the tops are well ventilated. They don't tend to do crazy patterns either, their design are usually plain and smart looking. They even do gilets and one piece aero suits.

I've put thousands of KM into their kit and tend to do a bulk purchase once a year to get the new designs (a luxury you can afford when the kit is this well priced)

 

In fact I'm purchasing a bunch of stuff from them in a couple of weeks and shipping it with Aramex Global Shopper. Drop me a PM if anyone is interested in joining in and splitting shipping

Good to know, what's different if you order through Aramex Global Shopper, is it faster?

I've had varying results, but it's most definitely faster than standard Aliexpress shipping and Aramex normally handle the custom for you as well. You're talking about the difference between 3 month Aliexpress shipping (if it gets here) and 2-3 weeks AGS shipping. You obviously pay for the convenience

Sounds good, do you anticipate your order arriving before 15 April? If so I would like to jump in  :thumbup:

Just had a look at their site. Sizes don't seem any different from the Aliexpress stores I buy from and I still would need an XL  :huh:

I have replica team kit bought in 2014 and still fine. If you wear the same kit day in and day out then I'm sure it won't last for several years. 

My Aliexpress shipping takes on average 4 weeks but that is to Nigeria.

I'm just waiting for a friend of mine to confirm what he's buying then I'll place the order. I'll PM the details to you

It's normally the South African Post Office portion of the journey that messes things up, particularly the Johannesburg International Mail Center. If you've ever dealt with international shipments in SA you've no doubt had a package be stuck there

DO NOT USE STANDARD shipping. Up till about last year June you could still take a chance and 4/5 packages would arrive. Lately nothing. Even after filing an official complaint with ICASA and having a person at SAPO ( she is amazing and doing her best) the system is flawed with too many broken links in between.

 

And it grates my cheap ass paying Aramex for cheap small components just because SAPO is broken.
