This weekend I have had major site issues 504's and super slow performance in short bad news. My hosts SITE GROUND highlighted the postmeta table with 280k rows and is nearly 50MB. Also they forwarded an ajax optimisation article but my issues seem more deep rooted. Does anyone know about...

Back to the original post..I would also like to share that in 14 months of testing over 70 products and many audiences it seems like facebook doesn't know the audience as well as they claim. Plus the intent is not there. Couple that to over expensive clicks and you have a recipe for a saturated...

I perhaps didn't explain too well. I am simply trying to save myself time and detect orders that will close and did not get delivered. So some kind of flag on an order that is about to be closed but hasn't been delivered. I may have to resign myself to making the customer contact me when they...

Sorry I haven't got a crystal ball with me today- could you post a link? Agents are not necessarily the suppliers they are middle men yes that take a cut but they get you better quality and cheaper supply with volume hence why they are affordable. A bit like paying for an accountant is actually...

The pain is that I CARE if an order is about to end and it has not been delivered yet. That is bad for reputation but it's also a crap thing to do to someone who bought from you. IMO. I know many dropshippers couldn't give a toss but I am different to them.

Agents give a better margin from what I am told. Better everything. I am happy to report when I find a good supplier and we build a relationship I am happy with Aliexpress. But that's the difficulty it's saturated with poor quality products. Using an agent is using CSV ordering and you will...

So how do you know this if you delete the emails? Sounds like you might be waiting for the customer to tell you they didn't get it?

Agents are used to fulfil direct from China usually you need 20 orders per day depending on the cost of item etc. Alibaba and Aliexpress are the expensive ways to import and source. I think 1688.com you see the real prices but you never can tell for sure.

I have posted before on this subject but I had a few different questions and time has moved on. It's a big time drain for me to check aliexpress orders. I get a lot of emails from them (Ali Express) and feel the need to check them against orders because I don't want an order to finish if...

I can't see how it changes from 10 to 10,000 items beyond the DB layer. You are querying a DB once you have the recordset for a search or a single product the page should render just fine because it's html js and css. That's how a web page works. Also this is likely eventually cached of course...

I have tested the items by ordering myself. They are originating in China. They are dropshipping because I see the packet is initially from China as a normal e-packet type product.When it gets to the UK it gets a UK shipping label and moved on. I find the address of the originator warehouse on...

It's not about discount that matters most. I have had sellers who have run out of stock and sat on orders for 5-7 days. Heads up on stock is honest and would enamour me more than discount. Quality also is something that you see a lot of issues with. We in the west may say we want things cheap...

Yes I would agree to that too. But do you think your order status is getting changed with tracking info from Ali? Or was it just a bobby euwing dream.

I thought I had seen that orders could be set to automatic completed when the tracking shows a delivery. Even if a few from say Ali Express Standard were autocomplete in the woocommerce backend this would be a good time saver. I think I used to go into the tracking area and click on re-track...

Hi I need to get some time back and orders are coming in. So I need help, I'm lucky my partner is going to start to help me but let's ignore that I know her and maybe have a discussion around virtual assistants and how it can work to automate say the ordering part. Wordpress Login- full admin...

Thank You.

We all know that sometimes it takes longer to arrive but 70% of the time shipping is much faster than the stated estimated delivery time. I got one customer panicking that the delivery exceeded what I stated as it showed the aliexpress SAFETY times which are too conservative. So anyone know...

Does this switch back on checkout? This is a conversion killer.

My media manager is full of dead empty image slots when the plugin is deactivated. Here is an example of a dead image link...

It's happened again today. They have added a feature whereby images are hotlinked from ali. If you disable the ali plugin for any reason then the images won't show. Not only is this vendor lockin it has broken my site through 404's etc. Cowboy coding sorry guys but this is really not thinking...
