Ninja Van are a bunch of liars

Said they attempted delivery. No attempt was made. Called them, and they said the house is not on their route, so they will not deliver and just will ship back to Amazon.

We are launching an official Supplier Blacklist for r/alibaba

Hey everyone,

We are building an official Supplier Blacklist on the subreddit wiki to help protect buyers from scams, lost funds, stolen IP, non-delivery, and atrocious customer service.

Going forward, you can still make normal warning posts on the sub, but we want a permanent, searchable list so people stop getting ripped off by the same repeat offenders.

How to get a supplier added to the list

If you had a terrible experience with a supplier and want them added to the wiki, send us a modmail with the following information:

  • Company/Supplier Name:
  • Alibaba Store URL:
  • Primary Contact Person (if known):
  • Date of Incident:
  • Main Issue (e.g., Non-delivery, Fake products, Refused refund):
  • Estimated Financial Loss ($):
  • Brief Summary (2-3 sentences):
  • Proof/Evidence (Imgur or Drive links):

Rules for Submissions

  1. You MUST provide proof. We will not add anyone based on unverified accusations. Screenshots of chat logs, Trade Assurance disputes, or photos of defective products are required.
  2. Minor delays or issues that were fully refunded by Trade Assurance do not qualify. This is for bad actors and genuine scams.

Check out the wiki page here: https://www.reddit.com/r/alibaba/wiki/blacklist

If you have a supplier to report right now, use this link to message us: https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=/r/alibaba

Philippine Consulate General Guangzhou, China

Putting this here to help others who may need.

The Consulate is located at 339 Huanshi Dong Lu. It is the same building as the Crown Plaza Hotel. The address used to be the 7th floor. Some sites still show this address. But its really the 21st floor in the same building as the hotel. You have to go to the elevators that take you up to the offices. There are another set for the hotel. The office elevators have a little security desk check in that will let you through the gates. Then take the correct elevator to the 21st floor. A few of the elevators don't stop on that level, so be sure to read the floor list before you get in. Once you get upstairs, there is a final boss Chinese guard you have to get by. Once you charm him, you can access the Consulate.

How much profit do you add to your material and labor costs before quoting customers?

Do you do a flat rate on top of material purchases and then burn rate per hour? Or do you add a surcharge for your labor only?

Permanently change Excel background color (Win 11)

Someone had a similar thread here:

https://old.reddit.com/r/excel/comments/drda06/permanently_change_excel_background_color/?sort=new

But it no longer works > > Hi, > > As someone who uses excel around 8-10 hours a day, I was wondering if there was a way to permanently change the background color to something other than white. > > Instead of having to go into each new workbook and change the background every time I open a workbook, is there a way to have it pre-set to a different background color? > > Also, bonus request of having the background color appear different in the file (when I am using the workbook) but actually come out white would be appreciated if possible (if I were to print the workbook, I would still want it to come out as white background) . > > Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.

I'd rather have an empty cage than a dead dog

When I worked as an agent full-time, I remember hearing this.

I see a lot of posts here from sellers complaining about how nobody wants their house. It is highly probable that your house is listed too high.

Many agents are just happy to get a listing. Maybe your agent is inexperienced. Maybe they only worked through a seller's market and don't really know how a buyer's market works. Maybe you pressured them to list the house high with the thought that they can just lower the price a little at a time if needed.

The thing is, when a house first hits the market there is energy around it. The agents do a caravan to check it out (at least they used to), and it pops up on the "new" pages. Open houses can be advertised with words like "newly listed" or something similar.

When people see a house on the market for a long time, they just assume that something is wrong with it. Maybe it is a psychological thing. But they wonder what everyone else knows about the house that they don't.

We were encouraged to do the research and list the home at a price that reflected the current market value. A home listed above market value has no value to the agent and does a disservice to the sellers. A good agent will explain this to the customer and even walk away if they feel like they are dealing with a seller that is not being realistic about the reality of the situation.

Because its better to deal with an empty cage than a dead dog.

I'm going to give this phone away. (Redmi Note 15 Unlock Issues)

Had 4 Xiaomi devices in the past. Always unlocked them myself and installed global ROMs.

Haven't needed one for a while since my Samsung was doing fine. Had an issue with the screen, so bought the Redmi Note 15 before a business trip as a backup in case my Samsung crapped the bed. I'm in China. I've had a registered account for over 10 years. I'm staying up until midnight here to hit the stupid unlock button and I get hit with the unlock quota scam.

It's honestly the dumbest thing. The phone is fine but filled with China crap I can't get rid of. Already uninstalled a ton of apps, but the menus and help screens will show up in Chinese. Great design...

Camera is great. But this will be the last time I ever buy a Xiaomi. Anyone asks me about Xiaomi, I will let them know not to bother. I'm going to give this away to a Chinese friend or try to sell it secondhand. It is not worth the headache to just unlock this stupid thing.

[Game of Thrones] Why was there a door on the exit of the cave?

In the episode The Door. Hodor holds the door. Why was there a door there in the first place? They were hiding out in a cave north of the wall. There wasn't a door at the entrance. Why would there be a door for Hodor to hold at some exit point?

[The Silence of the Lambs] How big was Buffalo Bill's house?

Looked frigging huge. Clarice gets let in the front door into a living room area. Then she goes through the kitchen to stairs that take her downstairs. That part of the house seems endless. She goes through a bunch of doors, blockades one, closes a couple of others. There is the room with the skin suit, the room with the pit, the room with the fish tank, then at least the room she kills Bill in. Are homes in that area of the country known for having cavernous basements? No way Bill dug out the space himself right?
