In Feb. this year I ordered and paid Aliexpress for an ACECARE 12 L bottle. Well, it did not ship. I kept waiting and waiting and then sent messages to ask why it had not shipped. They said they dad sold the last one and no more were in stock. I asked when they would again be available. They answered shortly, but that never came. I was asked if I wanted a refund. I said "No", I wanted the bottle. i told them I would wait. Soon, I lost my ability to ask for a refund through AliExpress. From what I was told in my ongoing conversation, COVID shut the factory down, hence the long delay. Then I received a shipping notice, but it was to another address, not mine. Nevertheless Aliexpress closed the transaction. I was still receiving positive replies from my periodic queries to Acecare. By the beginning of August, I had lost all belief that I would ever receive either the bottle or a refund. Low and behold I received an email that the bottle was being shipped last week, but I had not received the promised tracking number. That arrived 2 days ago. It is now in New Delhi, India. So this may still be happening. We will see........
Interesting tale of an ACECARE CF 12 Liter bottle

- Start date
I am in almost the same situation. I order the 12L in April. Right after I ordered it they say they were out of them and would have more in 1 month. Then the end of June they said it would be in stock in Aug. I also got a message 2 weeks ago that the tank was in and would ship out today. Well I have a UPS tracking number but the number isn't valid. I am still waiting on this tank. Hopefully it will show up soon.

Well boys and girls, it happened! UPS delivered 2 packages today. I was charged 106 Euro VAT on the price quoted by AceCare. The packaging was superb, very, very well done. The packages looked like they went through a war. I have waited a very long time for this bottle and valves and thought that my money was lost, but AceCare came through in the end as they said they would. They also included a pair of rubber boots as a gift for waiting for so long.........I am very happy, it's like Christmas today.

I had a problem with my 3d printer back in February. My main local "dealer" closed the business and I had to deal directly with China MFG. The troubleshooting communication was really exhausting, they had the Covid lockdowns, the office staff worked from home and nobody in warehouses. They were sending me parts in many shipments, but looks like we were disconnected greatly. I ended up with so many parts until finally the right LCD screen arrived. I can now put a new 3d printer together from spare parts.
This BS C19 story messed up things pretty bad, worldwide.

I'm not sure this is the correct forum for this , but I just assembled all the bits and pieces that came from AceCare with the 12 L bottle. I then filled it to 240 Bar from zero for the first time with my Bauer 4 cylinder compressor. No leaks, no drama and it took exactly 50 minutes. all the gages (3) Bottle, whip and compressor final stage output manifold all read the same pressure as they should. I have left everything still connected at pressure waiting for the bottle to cool down so I can top it off. This will be automatic. The compressor controls will sense that pressure drop and top it off.
