This is not a build nor is it machining related. (Its only relevant to bench-top mills since I tried to purchase one)
I attempted to purchase a SX4 through AliExpress for $500 bucks. Well like all of you probably already guessed it "WAS" too good to be true. Now I'm dealing with getting my funds returned to me. Here is the LINK in case anyone is interested. I've since been able to contact the actual supplier "Jack Wong" and he says that they have requested AliExpress to no longer list the item with the incorrect price as they also no longer sell that product. I've since done some research on AliExpress and come to find that this type of thing is nothing new for them. They have been doing this to people all over the world for virtually any product that is made in china.
This is speculation, but I suspect that since Paypal only has a 45 day period for you to submit a dispute and the wait period is over 60 days for most products that they sell, they are able to basically sit on your money for 60 days and not have to "Fight" over keeping it (If you use paypal). So buyer beware and please protect yourself from these types of frauds.
This is something I would normally never do, airing my dirty laundry. Especially in a group of people I highly respect such as Hoss, Ellik, and many others that slip my mind at the moment. I simply want others that might think they are getting a "Great Deal" by purchasing direct to just be cautious. Please consider that with US retailers we "Could" almost go to the store front and complain. With sites like AliExpress they can just ignore any request to fix an issue, such as they have done to me.
Thanks for letting me vent and hope someone learns from this!
