    RF45 too good to be true!

    I think they do the shipping quick, and count on the receiver confirming receipt before starting the dispute. That way AliExpress releases the money before it’s disputed. When I received the package, yesterday, I did not confirm receipt. I just opened a dispute and included a picture with...
