Counterfeit Items Sold and Sellers not Dealt with

I purchased a 50 pack 128gb usb memory sticks from a supplier on the [URL Removed] website.<br> <br> The goods arrived within a week - naturally anyone would be excited.<br> <br> I bought the items for resale - and because of this, I opened two or three of these to do intense testing. I always test a few items to make sure that everything is ok because I don't like selling stuff that is inferior. I like to keep a good reputation.<br> <br> The memory sticks were ALL Defective. I called the original manufactures and after a bit of investigation, they said that the memory sticks are counterfeit.<br> <br> I requested a refund from Aliexpress and the refund process seems to be continually extended. Further to this, I had to return the goods to the supplier and that cost me a further R 350 (at MY COST).<br> <br> Now I'm out with the initial purchase price as well as the postage cost.<br> <br> After chatting to the agent at Aliexpress - I'm still left with not knowing when my refund is coming.<br> <br> Really disappointing service considering that there are ******* stuff being traded on this website and Aliexpress is not doing much about this.<br> <br> I want my refund!!!!!!
