Guys. I'm a full on Ali-addict now... went IN hard for the 11:11 sale. I feel good about purchases, a few have already shipped. Hopefully all will come through before Christmas! 

 
Haha welcome to the club- I feel like we need a support group here for Ali Addicts Anonymous. Let us know what you got and how you like it! I ordered a bunch of beauty blenders- I’ll be interested to see what they’re really like as they’ve got mixed reviews. Some people say they smell like tires, others love them. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

That's funny, I ordered a few beauty blenders! didn't get too many because I was afraid they'd smell. 

I got a message this morning from a seller that said something I'd ordered (one of those bladeless dyson fans) would not work in the US because of the voltage, but when I had ordered it I specifically clicked on USA as an option. So... do I contact the FB admins I ordered through? *edited to say it was not a hidden link*

If it wasn’t a hidden link, and since the seller has already messaged you I would just respond and ask them to refund your money.

Got it refunded by the seller. I did let the FB know that the link they provided wasn't suitable for US and they edited the post to say that. 

I am surprised at how quickly things are being shipped out, but realize the actually delivery can take a while. Anxious for my LV, and a really cute jacket with fur collar

Has anyone ordered the Uggs? I did — they only cost about $35 so I’m leery of the quality. One pair is for my five year old, so they should be good for her.

 

Let me know if you like them! I would love to get a new pair or two so if you do, I just might splurge.

I got my Melie LV this weekend. Obsessed. Cannot wait to take it to Thanksgiving, where a few step-cousins have real (COULD be fakes I guess!) and look like I belong.Only took about 8 days to arrive, pleasantly surprised!

Yay! Glad you're happy with it. Have fun flexing on your cousins

Well OP??? Did you show up the cousins?? Dying to hear!!!

Not sure I showed them up, but I did get noticed! There were around 35-40 people at our thanksgiving (the one time we all get together each year so it's huge) and there were exactly four LV bags, mine included. The other three that had them complimented mine LOL

Will do!
 

 

The fur is definitely faux (but I didn’t order 1:1 quality). Mine were too small, even though I followed their size chart. So, I put them on the resale page. If they had fit, I would have worn them. The quality was good enough. They were super lightweight. I’m not sure how that compares to real. I’m not sure I even love the look of Uggs (not enough to spend full price) but for the price they were good.

I got the Bailey bows for my daughter. No way would I spend $150 on shoes for a five year old. These are perfect for her. The faux fur is actually really soft. She won’t know the difference. She just likes the looks.

The tags on the back say Ugg Australia—the ones on the website just say Ugg (maybe Ugg changed it, and the older ones used to?)

Did you use a special link or just search on Ali? I might try them and just order bigger since you said they were too small.

Thank you! So you got the ones with buttons?  It’s hard to tell which ones are black...(I wonder if people actually wear those orange ones!! 🤮🤮🤮) I’ll let you know what I end up doing. I’m going to wait until after Christmas since I won’t be home to get packages.

Yes- I got the button up in gray.  I got my daughter the bailey bows. My gray ones are buried on the resale page somewhere.

Hi, 

Long time lurker.  Find it amusing how everyone has moved on from WUWT, me included.  Don’t know why I ever loved it! Find the other topics here much more interesting.  Finally thinking of entering the Ali shopping frenzy and was hoping someone could DM me the link to a 1:1 LV Neverfull.  TIA

 
You need to join one of the FB groups listed above and get the link from a mod.

Thanks FKFriday.  Wouldn’t let me private message you because I had only posted 2 times.  Apparently you have to post 3 times to message privately so I should now be good 😀!  Happy New Year!

I bought an in between LV Palermo from the Our Reality group. It was praised for being high quality. The piping isn’t leather. I worked with the mod and got a new one. I’m concerned that while the straps are leather, the piping may not be. So I’m thinking of selling the one I got and buying a higher quality one. I am so confused though.

I’ve found—
Aloha Kim original quality- $320
Aloha Kim (not sure of quality)-$160
Our reality 1:1-$200 (can’t remember exact price)
Jieshan bags-$220

Does higher price mean better quality? I’m so confused!

I ordered acqua di gio for husband. I assumed it wouldn't smell the same.. but didn't think it would be so horrid. It smells like bottled farts. 

 
Hahahaha, I’ve never dared to order the perfume from those groups. Bottled farts 😂

Generally speaking a higher price should mean better quality, but it’s hard to tell when comparing between different groups/sources because they all negotiate their own deals.

Only because I had already ordered a gazillion bags from OR before I found AK’s group, I haven’t ordered any from AK. All of my bags are either 1:1 from OR or direct from Jieshan and I’ve been totally pleased with all of them. I’ve got a neverfull and a favorite from OR that I’ve had over a year and used a ton, they’ve held up well and I know the leather is real because it gets tan lines.

 
Thanks— then I think I’ll get one in the middle. The first in between was only $67 on 11:11, so it wasn’t terrible. I didn’t buy higher quality originally because I wasn’t sure I’d like carrying this style. I also thought all the trim would be leather and that I wasn’t very picky. But it’s a dead giveaway when the trim on the bottom is wearing off and turning white!
