A man was shocked after ordering an exercise in Aliexpress – and rather received a photo of the tool.
In November 2024, Sylvester Franklin, 68, ordered the DIY device and a pressure washer for $ 40 in the Budget online store.
On December 9, a package arrived and instead of a new drill of drill and pressure, the retiree received a photo of the drill and a screw.
He said he complained to Aliexpress but still hadn’t received a refund.
Sylvester, a former mechanic and repairer, from Savannah, in Georgia, said: “I paid about $ 40 – everything that gave me was a photo of the exercise and a screw.
“I was very upset. I immediately contacted them for a refund.
“They didn’t answer me.
“I am retired. They took advantage of me. They have to pay what I did.
“I was very upset when I opened the box.”
“I am a mechanic and a repair man. I use tools like that all the time to work on my car or around the house.
“It’s bad.
“They took advantage of me – don’t check anyone.
“When I pay something, I expect to get what I paid.”
Aliexpress was contacted for comments.
