Re: Radioberry from AliExpress


 

I would avoid AliExpress at all costs. I had never placed an order with them, never even went to their website, when charges started appearing on my credit card statement. It started with a couple charges here and there, all for under $20 each. It took me a while to notice them. Then there were several per day. I attempted to contact AliExpress with no response. I contacted my bank who said they were told by AliExpress these were all orders placed and delivered. By the time the charges accumulated to several thousand dollars I escalated to fraud charges and the bank looked deeper. Eventually my credit cards were cancelled and the charges removed. This all took a couple months. The bank fraud department told me this was actually a common occurrence, but since AliExpress was offshore, there was nothing they could do about it. I have since run into a number of other people with similar experiences.

I understand similar issues have occurred with Temu as well.

Stick with Amazon or other reliable US vendors. If it is a valid product, Amazon or regular ham stores will carry it.

Seeking advice on how to shop AliExpress. I am looking for a Radioberry v2.0. There appears to be no uniform price. They vary from $80 - $150. The descriptions for the top and bottom priced units appear to be similar but not copies. Both indicate the same installed hardware.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA N7CHS
