I've noticed quite a few of you guys buying or posting a link to gear on Aliexpress. Every time i look at links to electronics, particularly, it states in the listing that this item can't be posted to this (my) address. I've now set up 2 accounts under 2 different email addresses and still the same. Am I doing something wrong here ? Any advice or suggestions ? Cheers.

Hi Brian, so long as you setup the postage to the UK is should work. Have a look in the account settings etc and see if you can change any preferences. Sometimes it does say "ship from" Spain/Russia etc (obviously you need to select China) which usually mess things up and don't work. Also if you are going through a VPN/Proxy the website might be seeing your address in another country perhaps? Try deselecting all the shipping options and choose "China/UK" where applicable. Can also select language and currency in the top right corner, obviously "English/GBP" here. If all of that fails . . . I'm out of ideas! Except some things can't be shipped here but I would have thought the stuff we usually link to can be . . . unless it's from Dave ( antonio) as he lives in Asia anyway . . . . Hope one of those might answer your question.

If so, that could be the issue. I had to set up an email address from AOL or someone similar. It likes that one and works ok.

Thanks.

I was looking at that little amp you were using Oli Ah! Got ya. Yeah, it's a fantastic little performer. I can't find exactly the same one now though. I'll flog you mine if you want it, Brian. I am just about to Loan a vintage Sansui and also have a plan in place to build a little temporary amplifier. I don't need three amps lol

Thanks for the offer Oli but I will be taking a slightly different path now. It would just be be nice to know I can buy from AliExpress just like everyone else
