There are some online orders that reach us within the given deadline. If you are lucky, it arrives much before you expect it to. However, there are also some orders that arrive way later than you ever imagined. For this guy in Delhi, it was as long as four years!
Nitin Agarwal placed an order on Aliexpress back in 2019. It didn’t arrive on time. Then, in November 2020, the Indian government banned more than a hundred Chinese apps, Aliexpress being one of them. The package hadn’t arrived even then and after the app got banned, Nitin gave up.
However, 4 years later, Nitin finally received his package from Aliexpress. Even the date printed on the package mentions ‘2019’. “Never lose hope,” Nitin tweeted.
Have a look:
Never lose hope! So, I ordered this from Ali Express (now banned in India) back in 2019 and the parcel was delivered today. pic.twitter.com/xRa5JADonK

People online found this story downright hilarious! However, there are many people who still haven’t received their orders from many online platforms, including Aliexpress. Here’s how some of them reacted:
Your stuff must have been on here
