Hello, does anyone here have experience with the DNA method on aliexpress? I'm thinking of DNA'ing an electric scooter worth 300$ and my account is in good standing. Do you think they would refund me?

Who's the carrier that will be servicing the delivery, and what type of verification will be required on receipt of goods?

my account is in good standing

What's the account's maturity, and how many legit purchases and SEs (If any) have been performed?

Who's the carrier that will be servicing the delivery, and what type of verification will be required on receipt of goods?

I can choose between DHL (with tracking) or ''Seller's Shipping Method'' (without tracking). I believe no verification is required with DHL, I have no information about the latter option.

What's the account's maturity, and how many legit purchases and SEs (If any) have been performed?

A 130$ purchase 5 years ago, and 3 smaller purchases (below 20) in the past month (the account has been inactive all those years).

By the way, do you think it would be unethical to hit this store which has a couple hundred purchases? Seems like they are relatively big and produce their own products.

^ If that's the case, you're certainly good to go with the DNA against DHL.

They're also guilty of signing their own consignments, which obviously works to your advantage.

Given a few legit purchases have been performed as of late, It's fine to hit the SE.

AliExpress (In Its entirety) Is worth $3.6 billion and Is owned by Alibaba, so In terms of ethical social engineering, It pretty much speaks for Itself.

Do you think the chance of the driver appearing back on my doorstep is high? This is a situation I need to avoid, as my roommates would inevitably be associated with the SE which would not only lead to its fail, but also cause many personal problems.
I have SEd something from a different company which also used DHL for shipping 2 months ago, could this affect the SE in any way?

Also most importantly, I am very skeptical of aliexpress's customer service. Would they actually have my back? I'm not sure if I could afford to lose the price of the scooter, and am scared they will just say ''tracking shows delivered, so not our problem'' (which is unacceptable of course, but don't know what I can expect from a company half the world away)

As with every DNA, there's always the possibility of the driver getting In contact, but It's Impossible to say for sure.

If that was the only SE with DHL In that time frame, then there's no cause for concern.

No company will have your back.

It's like saying: "Give me the scooter free of cost".

It's very likely (If not a certainty) they'll open an Investigation and refer to GPS/tracking records.

That's the nature of the DNA, and It's up to you to put In the hard work by manipulating them accordingly.

Seems like they gave the package to DPD instead of DHL. Do you know if DPD is easy with investigations and if they are known to return to your doorstep?

[LaffyTaffy]

I dont know if aliexpress works anymore. I read somewhere if you try dna they tell you to fuck off

The Problem of DPD is, that they look at weight.

I will be using DNA. How is the weight relevant?
