AliExpress Airsoft content changes

[Austeyr]

Seems AliExpress has recently changed their policy, almost all of the Airsoft content is now being hidden on the app and googling it and going to the link gives a message stating it can’t be shipped to the UK.

 

Hopefully the change isn’t permanent as it was nice to get cheap pouches and stuff from there!

Website still works for me (use .com not .co.uk)

What “stuff” in paticular ? Doesnt seem any different to me through the app .

For example, a few days ago these items were all available to be shipped to the UK:

 

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008046849035.html

 

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005772403349.html
 

Also my entire order history is missing, however I’ve used AliExpress quite a lot 

 

Edit: Both items are showing up on PC but not the app, weird 🤔

I only use the website and haven't noticed any change. Sometimes if a product is out of stock or discontinued they will say that they can't be shipped to the UK rather than saying they're out of stock, which is annoying but it's just one of the Aliexpress quirks that you get used to.

Yep - no difference for me either - I can see a wealth of airsoft stuff there. Are you sure that the app hasn't logged you out, or changed your country? Not being able to see your order history perhaps suggest the former....

Turns out the app needed updating and for some reason didn't automatically do it, everything in my basket can now be ordered like normal. Phew!

Yeah this is a known issue with Ali express, plenty of info out there on it - I only use the website, but occasionally I get "does not ship to your location errors." Usually signing in and out or logging in with a incog tab corrects this for me. Clearing your browser cache and cookies might also have the same effect.
