And their website is a little vague on shipping. I know it’s coming from China, but I’m curious if anyone else has purchased from them and how long it took to get it? Thanks Rick
So I purchased a scope off of AliExpress

There is a shipping estimate on everything that you buy. Normally you can expect to wait 30 days or so if it ships from China. Many times you can have it shipped from the states but you'll pay more.

From my personal experience, expect it to take at least 30 days. If it shows up earlier than bonus for you! Tracking shipments from aliexpress has for me never been something that I could accurately follow, but I've never had something not eventually show up.
I've always looked at dealing with China like this: Dealing with China is like playing with a venomous snake. No matter how great things go, eventually you're going to get bit.

I’ve ordered a Discovery scope and econo grade night vision setup. That was last year.
Their sight does seem sketchy. But my stuff showed up just fine. Took about 30 days.
Booth products are still working fine.

Yep, I ordered the Discovery also, it was a toss up between that and the Tac Vector. Just using it on squirrels 20,30 yards out.

Hi
The best option is to look for a seller that has a warehouse in your country and that they send it to you from your country to save customs expenses

Yes Enkay, I did consider AirgunOpticsPlus located in North Carolina. AliExpress included the rings, which would have cost $30 more. I typically buy in the states, this time I went offshore. Rick

I don't mean that, on Aliexpress there are Chinese who have warehouses in different countries and shipping is faster and without Customs control, onYou order on Aliexpress and they send it to you from the US or Canada on Aliexpress there are very good scopes

Not sure they have those onshore logistics platforms in the US as well.
In the EU and in Russia they work great for sure. 3-5 days arrival even across the border from Spain, Czech or Poland, and indeed no customs or admin charges -- just a few dollars more in shipping. I love the BSA 4-14 x 44 FFP from Bestscope for 90 bucks. And Westhunter has also started shipping some from Czech. Still waiting for Marcool, another great price/quality seller, to do the same.

Yeah I buy like this on Aliexpress it is a little more expensive but much cheaper than paying Customs

I have ordered lot of things from aliexpress in the past, and it was a big surprise lately they included a tracking. They got smarter as well, early 2020 probably lot of orders got lost or "stolen" so now they track it down and you get an email that it was delivered to your door.
My last order was about 3 kilogram stainless fittings for a money I could get only four pieces locally. For any metal machined parts I think nothing can go wrong, but for more precise "instruments" again you can buy four-five pieces vs the local offerings. For me worth a gamble.

I've ordered many doodads from Aliexpress over the years. Seems like most package will arrive in 3-8 weeks...
- Had a funny situation with a belt-key holder. One was reported missing after 3 months, and got a refund.
- 6 months after the initial order, a package came in. Contacted the seller to inform him that the item was received, and was given instruction on how to make a dummy order.
- 2 months later, another holder showed up... Contacted the seller... Oups, sorry, their mistake. I can keep it as a gif.
