[chbot] GST on AliExpress orders

Me too!!!

Several items I ordered at the same time never turned up. In one case,
the replacement sent never turned up either (total waiting time 125
days). It's just a PITA and a complete waste of time, though I got my
money back (well most of it, they don't refund the CC fees) except for
the $1 thing I didn't bother with disputes with and just left 1 star
feedback.

Something very dodgy is going on. It never happened before. It's
impossible to say now which carrier it is as they all show up with a
jumble of Chinese characters now.

I have no indication that the sellers ever said the item was returned,
for any reason, like customs problems. It seems to me that NZ customs
doesn't actually care - they know GST has been taken by Aliexpress and
channeled to the beehive, so why should they.
