    Just thought I'd add my bit here too...

    I ordered two items from two different Sellers on 21 June. One item (a pedal) is already in Australia (arrived 24/06).
    The second item has been dispatched from warehouse but still in China.

    I've made 3 or 4 prior purchases through Ali and all have been without issue and received in surprisingly short time.

    Customs, then AP.

    I actually think Aus Post has done pretty well (at least by me) given the circumstances. Even in the thick of the restrictions all my parcels arrived in reasonable time frames.

    These are not the pedals that McCreed bought, but they are interesting. Don't be fooled by the weird name, they are rebadged Joyo pedals, which in turn are reasonably decent clones of more expensive designs. They also appear under the Kmise name and others. Decoding some of the clones:
    Vintage Overdrive - TS-808
    Ultimate Drive - OCD
    Crunch Distortion - MI Audio Crunch Box
    US Dream - Suhr Riot
    Classic Chorus - Ibanez CS-9. But hey, fist!
    Vintage Phase - MXR Phase 90
    Analog chorus - Boss CE-2

    Review here (some are better than others). Hard to argue with the value for money though.
    Mantra: No more pedals, must finish BlueyCaster...
