The lid doesn’t leak once you check/replace the seal. It’s just a caveat emptor.
As far as AliEx, what they do now is bulk-ship orders. So lots of bags of crap go into a single consignment and it’s checked and sent on the other side.
Effectively the warehouses shove it all together and it’s dropshipped to Royal Mail/Evri etc on the other side.
I don’t mind it so long as it’s something cheap enough to warrant zero aftersales. That said, aftersales in the UK from ‘proper’ brands can be non-existent as well.

Interesting, I didn't know that. It's like the Aussie wine shipments - they come in a massive bladder and are then bottled on the other side of the world so they don't have to ship bottles. Quite clever (although I'd argue that clever would be buying wine from closer to home in the first place waves at France)
hippy
How does that work? They have a local warehouse that then splits it up into normal post or something?
