Ditto... Usually I get most stuff in 2 weeks from China or Hong Kong, in their grey plasticy postage bags... I did get an odd one when I ordered 2 SNES controllers that was kinda powdery feeling. Something obviously in there that irritated the crap out of my skin... I ended chucking the bag as soon as possible.
Once something took 5 weeks, and I've only had one thing go AWOL (that was a power supply for the SNES here - but after I bought it, they changed their eBay description to say "Not for PAL systems". It never arrived anyway, and they gave me a refund after I waited 11 weeks)
Alibaba keeps all the money until you confirm delivery
Yeh, that's one of the cool things about Aliexpress... Well that, and the insane amount of cheap stuff on there.
Anyway, fingers crossed and can't wait. Have you got yours finished and working?
