Well we will see. Just ordered a tuxing 450 or 480 cc (forget) pcp tank for 40 bucks . Was actually from tuxing so should be on the up and up. I know someone said they can be beat for tank prices but whatever as that is the cheapest I’ve ever seen.

At the moment, AliExpress beats Alibaba for some because of the sale, coins & coupons.
That is a good example.
Either site, Tuxing, AceCare & Alsafe or the 3 you can count on.
On Alibaba there are quite a few more, but you need to read closely as some are not certified GB,CE or DOT.

Acecare 1.1L Fat (110mm diameter)
$82 free shipping on AliExpress.
$89 plus shipping on Alibaba.

Alsafe 0.6L 78mm diameter
$185 on AliExpress
$184 for 2 (min order) on Alibaba (plus $32 shipping).

I just work the apps on my phone to see which is better.

I've ordered both a GX-CS4 & YH with no serious issues.

I thought for sure that I got scammed on the GX, but it magically showed up after I had already purchased/ received the item on attempt two off of Amazon. It was $100 less on aliexpress.

The other shops have always come through for me with mulitple tank and valve purchases. Usually at siginifcant savings as opposed to Amazon.

If you go with a recognizable shop, like Tuxing or Acecare it's very low risk.

One bad experience doesn't mean the whole site is trash. I've made over 100 orders on Aliexpress. Received probably 98% of them.

There are also the "everything Chinese is junk" crowd, as they post from their iPhone made in China, through their router made in China, over fiber or cable made in China, to their ISP running backhaul hardware made in China.

I just looked, due to a couple projects I have going on there are 24 items in my "shipped" tab and 4 in "to ship". Pulled the trigger today on several higher ticket items. Gotta love coupons, coins and sales. Although still ended up buying a couple CF bottles on Alibaba.

I'd link for you but I've used up my coupons so best I can do is $106.
Just search Aliexpress for
0.58l carbon fiber tank
You will need to grab the coupons on the home page.
Another 3% or so if you have coins.

Thanks for the heads up. I looked through a bit earlier, but did not see any that low. I will check it out again with the coupons. Seems the sales will be up for another week.

Yeah I cancelled my order as I noticed after the fact it was just an aluminum cylinder not CF wrapped. Best I could find for a cf tank was just over 90 bucks. Can get it on Amazon for 104 and have it in a Cpl days. Will just get it from there.

J'ai été/je suis très surpris et ravi ces derniers temps.
Au cours des années précédentes, si le vendeur Aliexpress indiquait qu'il s'agissait d'une livraison gratuite sur les articles, cela signifiait qu'un conteneur arrivait en grande quantité et qu'il fallait généralement environ un mois pour le livrer à ma porte.
Dernièrement, j'ai commencé à recevoir mes commandes en une semaine et cela ne faisait aucune différence s'il s'agissait d'une livraison gratuite ou d'un coût supplémentaire mineur.
Je ne connais aucun entrepôt au Canada, cela doit être un courrier aérien entre « A à B », peut-être une configuration similaire car Amazon a sa propre flotte ??

Tu peux choisir le délai d'envoi....Un colis mets entre 6 et 10 jours pour ma part.

Not much when it come to airgun related stuff, CUZ i have only ordered 1 thing and that did not work.
Ordered some 3" splatter targets, that do not at all have a splatter effect, so shooting the generally black targets even at modest distances, well hard to see where you hit, and at the +100 yards i prefer to shoot, well absolutely no chance even in the best of weather.

Wow,this sure opens up some great deals on what you may need. The many pluses and few negatives give much advice on what to expect.I will also say now that I joined their mailing list I get too many good deals coming my way,not to worry I learned a long time ago to say "No"; um, let's see some of their PCP conversion stuff,I Always do comparative shopping (y)

Yeah, splatter targets on AliExpress suck. So, I just buy from Amazon.

My girlfriend is Chinese and uses Aliexpress and Temu for several items such as Chinese snacks and other products. She retired from manufacturing in China and is well aware that anything that has a name brand on both sites are knock offs made usually to substandard quality. It’s like anything else, know what you’re buying and what your expectations are. Make sure the card you use is proprietary to those accounts only just in case.

Yeah, a lot of Name brand and all of the almost name brand stuff is knockoff but the China origin stuff like CF bottles and hardware are good quality.

One of my favorite scams is the SSD scam. Those 4TB SSD are actually much smaller drives with their parameters reprogrammed to appear as 4TB to the computer. People plug them in, do a quick format and start using them. They don't have 500Gb or more to copy onto the drive. So months, maybe years later, the drive starts throwing errors because it is full but the parameters say otherwise. Long after the return window closed.

That scam has been running for at least 10 years and the stores that were doing it 10 years ago are still doing it. The reviews are all 5 star because people think they got a screaming hot deal.
