Is it really needed to contact seller on Aliexpress?

First time I ordered something and order confirmation email says you are advised to contacted seller. Is it needed or no and how do I even contact lol.

By the way is it normal? shipment accepted by airline but taking too time over there. (its soldering flux)




And this one too, it looks right to me. but why shipping by air is taking that long? Isnt china too close. (Its HDD cable)

Contacting seller is optional, like if you have some quiery.
And about other question, it depends upon which shipping method did u select.

As far as my experience concerned, "China Post Ordinary small packet plus" did not reach to me, well, because it is free shipping, and not registered, so it may reach you or not.
Others like "Aliexpress standard shipping" and "China post registered airmail" have always arrived because they are registered. And they took 11-18 days max to arrive.
Now the tracking scenario, well these 3 mails do not have tracking enabled, so you wont get tracking info after the parcel left china. Only expenaive Shipping methods do provide tracking, like DHL etc

Oh thats why it stopped after "shipped by air". My Solder flux is indeed coming to me by that small packet plus, it is not much important to me, it was around $4. HDD Cable is around $8 but is what matters the most :S it is shipped by "China post registered airmail", 8 days are passed for now. I hope to receive it because its not available anywhere and scammer shopkeeper here want me to pay 13000pkr (by paklap).

Thanks for your help man <3, btw you know why small packet plus fails and what registered actually means? Thanks again

You will receive the item by 3 weeks. 4 weeks maximum. It is likely the Tracking update wont even change. in My case, tracking kept saying that item dispatched even after receiving it.

Obviously it will work. I ordered two small jewelry items which were shipped via small packet plus in 3 weeks.
Alright thanks man! Somebody told me that he never received using this delivery option and I lost all hope. Now I am waiting for it again.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
