I need some stuff from aliexpress as they are not available India and on hobbyking.
1. Arms for sk450
2. Naza flight control board without gps

Before buying need some guide and reviews about the site  has anyone ordered from there .?? Any problem faced .? Is it reliable .?

Naza M Lites's price on most international websites are
168$= Rs10080@Rs60 + long wait if using free shipping & no sleep at night & custom hassles if any OR higher shipping charges[25$ minimum] for quick delivery and custom duty with/without hassles if any.

Same thing available locally at
Quadkopters @ 11500+shipping(they have free shipping too)
Sphere Hobbies @ 12200+shipping I guess
And peace of mind in both cases.
Just some points for you to ponder!

Apart from that Aliexpress is like ebay, you have to select the sellers wisely, check there ratings, correspond with them to gauge their service and response, maybe technical knowhow.

Thank you... Sir
But I'm more interested in naza lite without GPS. Which cost around 68$ and in India I'm finding it difficult to get it.. And LHS having it.?

The site by itself is pretty honest, I've made over 40 orders and had 5 parcels lost on transit (China Post), I got refunds/replacements on all lost or damaged goods, BUT Ali's refunds aren't accepted by all the banks straightaway and sellers can be a pain to negotiate with.
 
I wouldn't buy anything over $10 on there, just for the fact that you can never be sure about the product originality/quality and most of the seller ratings are faked by the sellers themselves.

Agree with Anjan.

Worst thing is that they have no way of communication/they don't bother any communication regarding the parcel sending method.
they once wrapped my parcel in jute rope and sealed from outside. customs arbitarily values the product for 2000rs and charged me 800rs customs since they were unable to open the parcel.
same happened to one more friend here(johnnywalker) duty charged more than the price of the product.

i returned the parcel and waited another 60+ days for a refund. and when the refund arrived i almost forgot that i ordered something in that site.
ordered a parcel for just 1090rs on march and got refund on june 13th..

the only response you receive from the seller is "Dear friend, the parcel has arrived in customs, please go and receive it" as if the people in customs are awaiting with garlands to invite me for that parcel.

bought other stuffs for 2/3 dollars and they reached home fine.
so the moral of the story is, if you want to buy anything beyond 10$ then go for some other sites or be ready to bear the pain.

Their incident management team is a BS. they say that the purchase protection is for 40 days. but then they give 60 more days for the seller to deliver the product, that too if you only escalate a dispute. Also at the end they will ask both parties to submit evidence.
ie, the seller has to submit evidence that they have delivered the product to settle the dispute on their favor or the buyer have the submit evidence that they have not received the product to settle the dispute in our favor. i asked the chat lady how to submit a evidence that i HAVE NOT received a product?????? :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch:
Come on man, what evidence you have that you have not received a product??? ??? ??? ???

I bought 5pcs of servo valued $10. it came directly to me without any custom hassle but there was a receipt from custom dept to collect Rs.550/- as postage handling charges.

product value = custom/postal charge  :o

I never had any customs issues so far with the China Post parcels from Ali, takes forever to get to me, but no issues otherwise.

Aliexpress is a coin with two sides, I have received a replacement for an APM 2.5 which was dead on arrival. The seller was extremely helpful and communicative, whereas the seller who supplied the GPS/compass was not so communicative/helpful once I made the purchase.Altho I figured out my issues. Yet I have never been duped on any transactions.

I have similar experience with ebay and flipkart too, and moral I learned is like 20-30% deals go sour on such websites but that doesnt make the whole website in itself bad. It all depends on the seller you chose and the product. Making payment via paypal is also kind of an added insurance.All three websites offer refund/replacement if you dont get the product or its DOA but tedious process to follow.

Naza lite is really incomplete without a gps, which is required to use the most useful features on it such as RTL and GPS & couple of fail-safes modes etc. Yet if you are just going for the FC you will have get it internationally, probably Hobbyking.

This guy had a naza: http://www.rcindia.org/for-sale/naza-lite-without-gps-for-5500/msg187167/#msg187167 (http://www.rcindia.org/for-sale/naza-lite-without-gps-for-5500/msg187167/#msg187167)

yup, contacted him !! his naza is damaged.. Dont buy ! he himself told me..

No fears I ordered the Combo from Chintal.

Getting APM 2.6 from him :)

I took it from Chintal sir, sry!
Well I need a arm for my sk450. Any1 having it .?

Looks like Chintal has started a price war. All the better for us.

Yup...

Please take it in the positive manner rather then a destructive comment
As just now you guys saw what happend a guy tried to compete
What i am doing is offering a price
I AM NOT COMPETING WITH ANY ONE
Least bothered about other lhs prices
I will always offer the best i can
This is not a price war
It is my humbel request to all
If you get a better price please praise it in a positive manner
Creating differences will result in a bad result........

No offence guys just wanted to share what i thought
I would rather stop selling then creating differences

Happy Flying

There was nothing Destructive about my comment. In fact it was a positive comment directed at you. Many LHS over price goods, mainly because of the lack of competition. Because of your aggressive pricing, I have seen some LHS decrease their prices for a certain item by upto 1000 bucks.
If this benefits the community as a whole, then I don't see the wrong in pointing this out.   
I am not trying to create differences between anyone, I just like saying it like I see it.

Sir i was not talking about you i was talking in general
I myself am happy to see other lhs bring down the prices to realistic prices
Please dont take it personally
I am sorry  no offences ment
