First time buying something on AliExpress... It came almost on time (maybe 10 days later than expected)...
The day after I got it from the post office the status of the parcel updated:
Sorry, parcel is delayed, estimated date of delivery is updated.

You can't just hold off buying until you can buy a bunch of things at once?
I've found some hard to find gear there, and I could pretty easily rack up $50 USD in items per time if I put a little effort into it.
Personally I can't give them up because them and even *gasp* bangood (as a last resort) are the only place I can order certain items

I have seen, but not tried, that AliExpress has the delivery option from within Europe. I assumed that was to circumvent import taxes?

Yes, some shops have "depots" in the EU so maybe there is still hope

Impressive camera for the price! I have a need for several of them to monitor my 20 ac lot in the desert. Last week I had a break-in, costing thousand$ in stolen goods, and damaging my 40' container and 27' travel trailer. I can't be there most of the time, but I could use a cheap way to monitor and capture video of intruders. The cops took a report, but even though I've left multiple messages for an additional report (I found more missing), the cops never return calls, nor does anyone answer the phone. This could be a solution, if I can figure out how to use them. I've had very little luck interpreting Chinese documentation or getting live tech support for things made there.

Documentation is a weak point of these Chinese camera's, it also seems the mentioned software for PC's only works on older Windows versions. The mobile apps are fine.
I could get live video from all my camera's using the free iSpy software, see: free-video-surveillance-software[^]

Easy start to the week.
Price change around the end of the month is key (6)

I also spent some time looking for anagrams of "price" with a "Y" in them before realizing it was the 1st today ...

Y is not the end of the month it's the end of a month

Well, the end of last month, anyway.
Way to give it away though - I get it now, and see what Rich means.
If it isn't solved I'll try to post it later.

I won't be around at 9am tomorrow so all I'll say is that the spelling may be an issue for some people ... (edit: unless OG is correct and I'm talking rubbish!)

Damn!
I meant that to be in, but I was interrupted by Herself to inflate the Paddling Pool From Hell for next door ... and didn't finish and post it until I'd done that.
But as you say, rules are rules - you're up tomorrow, musefan!

It's all in the rules[^] :InnocentWhistleSmiley: 
I was late posting - after the four hours - and musefan noticed. So he's up tomorrow!
I'm sure that nobody changed the rules just to make that happen, of course ...

Oh.... I thought you was joking. I didn't know that rule

And here is the part where I make a new life rule to read the full post before clicking on the links contained within!

I think it should be up to me to decide who is up tomorrow - I knew you had the answer hours before you actually posted it and you were giving the others a chance to solve it. So as it stands it was unsolved so if we're sticking to the rules I should be up again tomorrow not musefan.

That's exactly what somebody who doesn't want to post tomorrow would say!
