I actually have virtually the same lathe. I picked one with DRO's and a 850w motor. I had issues getting it here, this was about 1 year ago when covid was changing the shipping industry constantly. Sam actually gave me an extra 4 jaw chuck to compensate for the added cost and wait times. It was...

OP - That really sucks that you are so unhappy with your lathe. I would definitely file a claim with AliExpress. I had to do this once with a rifle scope that had flaws on the inside of the lens. It is useable but distracting until you can get used to it. The seller offered me something...
