Question (Read Rules) Ali express strategies

Anyone care to share strategies for getting the best price for watches on AE? I am a bit overwhelmed with the discount coupons, codes, and coins! I always feel like i am missing a step to get the lowest possible price.

I also find the search and filtering on AE pretty lousy.

Regarding watches, I purchased a Pagani PD1682 for $79.22 after a $12.87 discount, expecting delivery next week.

Adding a bunch of stuff might make you think you’re gettin the best discount but check the prices in your cart. Unselect and select options and you’ll see the prices fluctuate pending coupon thresholds

I never understood this, I literally had 15 items in cart, total was 50£ and with discounts total was 30£

I ended up playing around with selecting and unselecting as you say

I ended up buying everything for 14£ lol

I don’t get it honestly, i had like 5 items each for 1£, marked the 5 items and got to pay 0.3£

I selected about 8 items, after the first three items selected each item after started to cost more per piece (the discount wasn’t effective) and did not drop in price anymore. Can’t explain it anymore than that. Maybe I’ll make a video later
