Aliexpress. Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does. Buyers, beware! If you want a Hisense phone, better steer clear of Aliexpress.

(BTW thanks for the heads-up, Mark! I have been in much the same as below before, and forgot how bad it was, especially the quagmire of communication, and I didn't think it could possibly get any worse, but alas!)

So. I paid $355.05 for the phone. Paid $110 for return shipping. Have spend hours on end getting through a byzantine process, of radio silence and chatbots and cutting stuff out now cuz it's a loooong story, and in the end, finally, I was promised to get back 2/3 of what I paid.

And now the tracking says the seller got the phone (Hurray, hurray, hurray!). The seller signed the receipt. And all of a sudden the seller's vanished. With my phone. With my money. And he's nowhere to be reached.
