I ordered $2k of products this past month. One order that sent out early September has been at customs without any progress or tracking updates for an entire month; 45 days total it's been somewhere other than my mailing address.

All the items are Choice, Fast Delivery, Delivery Guaranteed, and "guaranteed" to arrive by the estimated delivery date AND "guaranteed" to be fully refundable when not delivered at the thirtieth day of the shipping process.

Aliexpress refuses to honor any of their policies with me and numerous other high paying customers. Further, after following the platform dispute procedure policy, Aliexpress' "Senior Team," as the chat script- readers call it, followed up by email with scripted pasted responses stating the delivery period is extended another 30 days on this 45-day-late order. That's a violation of their policy.

They're refusing to honor their Delivery Guarantee policy. That's violation of company policy and violation of employee policies. It's fraud, discrimination, and willfull negligence.

Aliexpress personnel are criminals!

So I escalated through all the dispute stages to appeal the refund decline. Then submitted a formal dispute. Nothing. Then also alerted numerous chat associates, a couple of whom created cases for me with case numbers. But still only emails scripting denials.

So I responded to the ChocieService@aliexpress.com email and CC'd AE-AlipayUSPaypal@service.alibaba.com.

No responses ever!

So I went to my message center to message the sellers to demand refunds and returns, etc. Still nothing!

So mow my message center is suddenly blocked — all messages are inaccessible by me in my account.

That means Aliexpress tampered with my account and deliberately, maliciously and discriminatively attacked my account.

Thank God I never filled in my account with my personal Info.

I'll continue to work on compiling and preparing all the evidence I have, and it is a whole lot!

Please join me in pursuing a class action suit against the company.

I have this 8-port, 268 watt GAN tower with 3 QC 18watt A ports, 6 PD 30 watt C ports, and a PD 100 watt C port. It's a top notch, high quality product. I paid 25 USD for it last year, but it's $77 now from that store, but I bet you could find a Choice Super Deal.

I also have one of these cheap 65 watt QC multi-port plugs. It's thin, but seems fine.

All that said, I have experienced battery failure, then also on several cheap replacement batteries, so I will keep my phone plugged into the recommended 30 watt C-cube.

I've yet to discover a cable that doesn't evoke skepticism after use. I will need to learn about the best wire materials for cables instead of buying the lowest priced items.

I don't buy into "you get what you pay for" because that's a capitalistic sales pressure idiom motivating consumerism that's become mindlessly repeated. As long as the technology, materials, craftsmanship and functionality are legitimate, the lowest price that meets my quality standards is what I pay. I always read those specs before letting the price influence me.

I'll never miss that abusively manipulated platform.

I bike all over the streets the same way. Such a good note.

Substance use is a major cause of unhealthy and abusive kitchen dynamics. Illicit substances render the user increasingly less capable ongoingly. Plus, the notorious attraction to that absence of drug checks brings those challenging social dynamics together into a hot, compact, and stressful interactive environment that represses honest emotional expressiveness amidst customers. Stress compounds and needs transformation. Recognize that bad formula, and instead nourish healthy therapeutics into your physiology from the opposite end of the sprectrum. If you smoke or drink, ease off as much as possible for as long as possible. I'm so glad I replaced those habits with healthy substances. So instead, look to nootropics for physical performance and clarity, and supercharge your days with high quality nutritional foods into your diet and with good hydration with enough quality water kept onhand (RO or artesian).

Constant supply of your favorite snack fruits can really help make a stressful kitchen into a managable experience. A large shaker bottle full of snackable frozen grapes or berries while on the job can feel nice. Or your favorite nuts with rasins and dark chocolate chips. That might just be my opinion. Higher end grocery stores have some great bulk bin goodies.

My effective decompression approach: Earbuds, my best music, solo racquetball or solo tennis practice against a handball wall (energetic overhead serves only), and sweat.

Its a simple, free (which is cheaper than golf and batting cages), and it's a great solitary interactive medium that transforms an emotional need to physically exert stressful energy into positive exercise which won't incur embodiment of physical stress (like weightlifting), and in a way that's uplifting in that it effectively dissolves stress and creates a sense of situational command over an inanimate medium (the ball) while increasing physiological capacity. That's a nice inversion of subjectional and exhausting kitchen labor.

Equipment is best hunted at major thrift stores such as Goodwill. Tennis balls can always be collected as used from local tennis court trash cans; the firmer the ball, the better, but for now you just need something that will safely bounce off a racquet.

Afterwards, before stepping into a steamy shower or hot bath for a while with some decompressing tunes, make some strong chammomile tea and take 5-HTP with it. That's tryptophan, but it will mostly only just settle nerves and maybe relax your mind a little to help you recenter and mastermind those stresses, same with the chammomile. Jarrow Formulas is a good supplement quality. The single 50mg capsules are effective.

If you're ending shifts late at night, walks in peaceful areas are also a nice and easy option. Walk it off. If you're up for a jog, even better. Bike rides or a stationary bike can be great options. Exercise helps balance the mind. Jam that stress out into sweat and positivity.

A gym membership can offer some great exercise equipment too (bikes, ellipticals, treadmills, row machines) which can be nice after work late at night, especially if there's a pool and sauna or even just showers. Focus on expending energy through exercise, not stressful weight loads. Weights will conort any existing physical embodiment of work stress and any physical stress from poor sleep quality. Loosening up with exercise, and also chiropractics and stretches will increase your capacity to handle stress more gracefully on the job because you'll move and breathe better which will help you think, interact, and perform better.

I hope this proves helpful.

And I'm being taxed by someone who claims to have read my citation of experience both with 1) the account recovery security AI at the recovery login page, and (2 extensive exhaustion of third-party, overseas Google One tech "support", both over the phone and through so many emails they don't group to the service ticket — which after thorough exhaustion of over thirty of those disconnected proxied script-followers, that extensive observation has enlightened me as to the foundational corruption on which that entire subcontracted business model is designed — and, yet, who insists I've not exhausted "official channels".
You refuse to see my due diligence?
Likely, you insist on misinterpreting it into something you probably think shouldn't be considered outside standardized routes.

You know Alphabet, Inc is ridiculously corrupt and worse, yet, you refuse to expect that outcry as inevitable, commonplace, and beyond necessary.
So perhaps you'll grasp my correctness in finding your wrongful interpretation of "you're trying to go through other than 'official channels'" as quite unarguably unhelpful and also wrongfully accusational. I stated I exhausted the "official channels," yet you want to imply you yourself are entitled to audacity to gaslight me as though to imply I did not do the things I stated I did in fact do? Maybe you prefer to excuse injustice?

Google is basic. The issues it creates have rippled into catastrophic tsunamis of hoards of unfortunately-annexed innocent users. Those issues echo harmonics throughout those call centers. So it takes an apathetic, complacent, and caustic sadistic employee-slave to continually discriminate against paying customers by finding ways to use the subcontracted company policy against callers instead of proactively and ambitiously search out facilitative Google agreement terminology that could, can, and should be demanded one their end to fully rectify a customer's naive and undeserved mishaps that are all too often directly influenced by Google's inadequate onboarding prompts which do not ensure proficient user-end competence.

It's very clear Google wants the mishaps.
The communications conglomerations throughout the corporate tech industry are deliberately wrought with convoluted inefficiencies that effectively present and aesthetic of support.

Perhaps you aren't experienced and perceptive enough to recognize a lie when a Palo Alto's headquarters of a major world corporation's third-party, non-homeland subcontracted call center overseas is staffed by scripted employees who wrongfully identify as Google employees when Google or Alphabet, Inc is NOT stated on their paychecks.

I encourage you, instead, to imagine bright ideas instead of dwell and emphasize on defeatism. I have a sense of urgency about this that I value in terms of intellectual property, documented memories, social connectivity to family, loved ones, and professionals. To me, that's a life of opportunity spanned over twenty years of user data submission to Google. I was naively-trusting of the cool-aid, and I even evangelized it, up until the day I discovered Google refuses to listen to 2FA mishaps they promoted into such devastating quantities. I see clearly now, and so should you.

Further, instead of wasting effort points on attempts to qualify a checklist of basic approaches I've completely surpassed myself, perhaps it can be clearly read in my notes of my fulfillment of the "official channels" that this post is evidently not nearly an initial strategy, so, again, you're discrediting my dynamic experience insultingly.
I carefully worded the post title because that's the exact level I've reached as a worthy ambition.

• "Some possibilities I can imagine may be ___________,”.
• "There's a slim chance that maybe _______, but it will need to be presented with substantiation of _________, which may be possible via ________ . . . " or
• Similar fiercely optimistic routes.

===============

If you dare to disagree, I challenge you to study the Google Community Forum's hoards of similar reports. If you still want to gaslight, I strongly encourage you to call your cellular network provider's customer support department about a significant technical issue with their service you have experienced. Really, everyone who pays for lucrative technical services should absolutely do this, even as a primary exercise in the shopping process. I encourage at least twenty to fifty of those calls, all very closely considered for recognition of systematic behaviors and recurring default language. My challenge to you is to do whatever it takes to get the issue permanently corrected. With that goal, the objectives are to closely observe the recurring experiences imposed on the support-seeker all the way through to successful resolve of the technical issue. I guarantee everyone will come away with more questions and greater concerns than that of going into the process. Notate and record as much of the runaround specifics as possible because it will be realized it's programmatic and even socialized within the employee culture of that workplace and occupational field.

You'll find the solutions often necessitate a juxtaposition requiring your own ingenuity, resourcefulness, and fiercely creative optimism of alternative exploration far beyond their default response models in interpersonal communication with the "support" personnel to get them into candidly honest human-to-human communication about the deficiencies in their approach models — to fully acknowledge and consider honest ideas from you, not the "fully trained" tech "support" personnel. They won't provide the possibilities within their reach unless you gain their understanding that collaberative extensions to coworkers, other departments, "higher-ups" as they like to call them (since they often also like to wrongfully claim that there are not any management teams in place), and also conjunctive implementation of formal complaints and grievances simultaneously in effect by that point are necessary.

At that point of obvious negligence, dismissiveness, or incompetence, it's my hope and encouragement you'll recognize and understand that you will have intimately discovered the haphazard nature of economics-based international corporate business models and the deep ground-level deliberate inefficiencies driving dysfunctionality throughout economies, and certainly throughout your own user-end and customer experience.

Then I strongly encourage you to do the same diligent pursuit with a better phone company. And another, and another (policy shopping if necessary), calling multiple subsidiaries and all the major companies until you've come to recognize they all follow the same monkey-see-monkey-do act of systematic, policy-excusable discrimination disguised in superficial conservative politeness, programmed employee training models, limited and irrelevant scripted responses, refusal, denial, unwillingness, and administrative office tools that enact dead-end runarounds into an inevitable annex.— such as redirects into unidentifiable disconnects caused by the discriminative call moderators.

I've done it enough to see it in oversized tech companies and several of the large tech companies. Midsize tech companies provide the best customer service while they still provide unadulterated products, services, and features and want a following. In the early 2000's, all the major companies excelled in customer service until they prioritized lucrative economics models over the inclusive startup ethics. Then it's all about By that point, I think you'll be ready to attempt Google One's personnel to recognize a terrible reality running rampant worldwide.

You're wrong. You're not trying to help anyway, so there's no point in justifying myself to you. You shouldn't even be commenting.

 

Long story short about how I naively and foolishly set up 2FA using that account's GVoice number for verifications and also knew nothing about needing to save GAuthenticator tokens externally, and later on, that device went permanently MIA:

With correct passwords and confirmation of the 2FA phone number (but no access to that 2FA phone), without any lockout imposed, and even though the 2FA account recovery security AI is devastatingly limited in its verification options, I verify the correct contact number and it forwards the SMS over, but I can't access the text until I use the back email — I can and therefore should be able to verify with other legitimate means one-on-one with live homeland (Palo Alto) personnel who understand the injustice of it and are willing to manually assist in the recovery process, even if perhaps off the radar.

The third-party overseas Google One paid subscription-based tech "support" personnel I've thoroughly exhausted are entirely unequipped to correct anything, they're totally incompetent, apathetic, and dismissive very slyly, barely within the parameters of their employee tech "support" scripted responses (pretty much the same shady behavior as most cellular company's overseas tech "support").
They aren't real tech support, nor even Google employees, and have no backend access like Google's unavailable homeland security team does. They even lie about scheduling a follow-up with a supervisor because there is no hierarchy of managerial phone support personnel.
The important details are that they work for a third-party subcontractor that imposes a different employee policy in a country far from Palo Alto, California.
The whole organization is a skeleton in a closet.There's just nothing there for customer support.
Paid subscriptions to One are worse than worthless because those Filipinos can't afford to be moral in that role in that country.

I know this is possible because articles have been published, specifically by Ron Miller at Tech Crunch (see link below) stating privileged connection for members of the media who use their publicity to leverage justice — which has been evident for him in the form of relayed access to informal backend tech support personnel — through someone who knows someone at Google.

https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/22/that-time-i-got-locked-out-of-my-google-account-for-a-month/

"On December 5th, I sent a note to a PR contact who I work with on Google-related news and I told him about my problem. He said he had gotten my case escalated and I should hear within 24 hours."

"The Reset command never came."

"On December 18th I contacted the poor beleaguered PR contact yet again and he wrote back. They wanted me to go through the process again except using my TechCrunch email instead of my other alternative. I pushed back that I already had an open case, but he suggested I do it and see it what happens."

"Reunited and it feels so good I started the process entered my Techcrunch email and was simply asked to enter a new password and I was back in. After all that, that was all it took. I was ecstatic to have my digital life back, but I’m still shocked at a) how easy it was to lose access and b) how little recourse there was to get it back."

So this is possible, and given the multitudes of dissatisfied Google employees and ex-Google employees, especially in this dawn of the degoogled Fediverse, I envision real possibilities.

TL/DR
So I'm here to request connection with anyone and everyone who can connect me to some real backend support before my account becomes scrubbed from the server.

=============

Verification I can provide:
• Access to the GVoice number with its voicemail password. With that, it should be made possible to confirm an audio verification code sent as a voice message instead of the default SMS I cannot access — if an audio verification message could be generated by Google support personnel. Good idea really. • Password histories
• Temporary security Codes which the recovery process was supposed to prompt but did not
• Email addresses of incoming and outgoing emails
° Screenshots of Drive filesystem and filenames
• Screenshot of IP address of connected Chromebook
• Chromebook browser bookmarks

==============

Recordings and Documentation onhand:

• Emails and chats with Drive personnel

• Emails and chats with Google One's Philippines subcontractor which includes attachments proving the Chromebook that was connected to the account is still in my possession connected to an alternative Google account, and those emails include screenshots of the IP address of the Chromebook with the Google Play Services Security Codes, which collectively prove my ownership of the limbo account. They ignored it.
The emails also include attachments of my photo ID. Bad idea, but I'd probably be fortunate if they abused that or jeopardized it anyway.

• Phone conversations with dozens of fully incompetent subcontracted, third-party Google One personnel based exclusively in the Philippines The recorded calls exhibit their discriminatory call center tactics and complete lack of any corrective resources are all whatsoever (not an embellishment).

=================

I want to know exactly who will present real password reset options because this is extremely important. I can't contact twenty years of contacts anymore or ever again until Google just grants a password reset to me.
