    Alibaba dispute not received

    I'm very sorry to hear that. Yes I never received my goods but I did eventually receive a refund via Trade Assurance however it took me almost 1 year dealing wiht the open dispute.

    Alibaba dispute not received

    Wow... 1 year is a long time to get a refund. Has anything in particular worked for you to push the refund? I did pay via Trade Assurance but apparently it doesn't cover goods arriving out of time. I'm being told to wait for goods to arrive... It's crazy it's been 15 months since I ordered the...
