Doll has been returned!
Today I got the message from the vendor on AliExpress that my doll shipment has been returned!!!
But I did not return it. The shipper never rang my door bell, I never saw the shipper.
Interesting: the status "Out for delivery" was from 14:17, and the status update "Carrier note: Returned" was from 14:21, just 4 minutes later. I suspect foul play here: the shipment never was sent, and all the status updates are bogus.
It appears that this vendor on AliExpress is fraudulent.
The vendor is:
I did notice already their unethical behavior of using pictures of full size non-inflatable dolls from other vendors, for advertising their own inflatable dolls. The dolls in the pictures would never be the same dolls as being shipped. Inflatable dolls are much cheaper, around €100-150, whereas the non-inflatable dolls start at €500.
There are other vendors which appear to be linked to the same name T-secret:
... there are probably more like this. They all have the same kind of inflatable dolls, at similar prices.
Seem to be operated by Russians, because one reply to a message was in Cyrillic letters in Russian.
Their business model seems to be to take orders and take the money, and then not sending anything and instead asking for more money to get the shipment delivered.
In their shipment tracking there is no mention of the local shipper. Usually with other AliExpress vendors there are links to DHL, Hermes, GLS or other reputable shipment companies. But when tracking my item to be shipped, there was nothing. The following screenshot shows that there isn only FAQs, but no info about the local shipper
I need to warn everyone who is considering buying something from the T-secret group of vendors at AliExpress. They seem to be crooks
