The "Here's what showed up" is unnecessary; he bought a container of Chinese electric excavators.
- mcphage 2y agoIt’s not even that—he worked with a factory to modify some of their excavators for US customers. So he knew exactly what he was getting because he helped design them.
- mh- 2y agoAnyone who has ordered frequently from AliExpress (or Temu, Wish, ..) will tell you that line is not unnecessary.
- fl0id 2y agoHe did pre-shipping inspection, worked with the factory etc, donuts not at all like temu or aliexpress
- TeMPOraL 2y agoRather, it's exactly like approximately everything anyone here owns, because almost every physical good available to buy locally arrives from China in a container, in more-less the fashion described in the article.
- croes 2y agoBut did he order from AliExpress, Temu or Wish?
- eudhxhdhsb32 2y agoWell it suggests the main topic will be discussion of what he received and that it may not have been as expected. Without that, maybe the topic is about something like the customs and payment process.
- alias_neo 2y agoSadly it was neither of those things, he bought, and received exactly what was expected, the headline was simply click bait. I only clicked through as I expected something unusually-interesting, but read it anyway because electrified big-kid toys.
