With a few holidays coming up in China I'm getting in early with the next proper AliExpress sale starting next month. It starts October 1 from 5pm AEST and ends October 8 at 6:59pm AEDT. Expect to see upsized cashback too.

The PayPal Pay in 4 discount has returned for this sale.

Each coupon code is one use per account and the minimum spend excludes GST and shipping. AUD amounts are estimates and will fluctuate due to exchange rate changes. USD amounts do not fluctuate.

Discount US$ Min Spend US$ Discount % Coupon Code 1 Coupon Code 2
US$2 US$15 13.33% AUPRD02 AUAU02
US$4 US$30 13.33% AUPRD04 AUAU06
US$8 US$65 12.31% AUPRD08 AUAU11
US$15 US$120 12.50% AUPRD15 AUAU21
US$27 US$215 12.56% AUPRD27 AUAU38
US$40 US$310 12.90% AUPRD40 AUAU58
US$59 US$449 13.14% AUPRD59 AUAU85 |

For those paying in USD this is how you get the correct exchange rate in PayPal:

AliExpress trade in USD and setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion may result in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:

Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate.

    oh my goodness, already bookmarked so many items, but can wait for 11.11 or black friday the even bigger discount

    • 0
    • Elcom on 28/09/2026 - 20:07

      On AliExpress, Black Friday isn't bigger than 11.11 — it's more like a smaller repeat of it. Different from the US shops where BF is the main event. They land about two weeks apart and the platform kind of mixes them together, but 11.11 is the deeper one and stock on the popular stuff is thinner by late November. If you're already bookmarking, I'd aim at 11.11.

      Two things matter more than the date though. Write the prices down now. I've been tracking about 60 items since mid September and when the last promo ended on the 20th, most of them actually went up. The % off badge barely changed the whole time, so it doesn't really tell you anything.

      And keep them in your wishlist, not just the cart. Sellers hand out wishlist-only coupons during the warm up and sometimes they beat the price on the day.

        I've been tracking about 60 items since mid September and when the last promo ended on the 20th, most of them actually went up.

        Do you mean they jack them up for a fake discount? Do you do a new round of shopping around for the lowest price when comparing them to the previous prices? Could it be that, as you pick the lowest ones to add to the cart — and wishlist! — and they cycle through ups and downs among vendors — or even among the same vendor's listings — much like Colesworths with their "specials" — that your sample is necessarily upward biased?

        • 0
        • Elcom on 01/10/2026 - 20:03

          Good question, and you're partly right — let me split it in two, because I ran them together.

          On selection bias: the basket isn't picked by price. It's every product I link on my site, chosen because I think they're worth buying — a fair few I own — so they weren't caught at a low point. But you've still spotted something real: my first snapshot landed inside the "ends Sep 20" promo window, so that particular "most went up" comparison is partly measuring promo→no-promo rather than a trend. Fair hit. It's why the comparison I actually care about is the one running now — pre-sale baseline against prices during this sale.

          On "do they jack them up for a fake discount" — that's a separate claim and the one I'd stand behind. Not that the real price necessarily rises beforehand, but that the struck-through "was" figure is frequently a number the item has never sold at. Easy to check yourself with a price-history extension — I have items showing a "was" roughly double anything they've traded at in six months.

          And no, I don't re-shop for the cheapest vendor each round. Same item, same variant, same listing every snapshot; if a listing dies it gets marked dead rather than substituted — precisely to avoid the moving-target problem you're describing.

              @wisdomtooth: https://www.foundandflagged.com — it's mine, and there are affiliate links on the product pages, so flagging that rather than letting you find out. The price tracking isn't published yet; that's the November writeup once 11.11 is done. I'll post the actual numbers in here when it's ready rather than just linking out.

      • habib23q on 24/09/2026 - 20:51

        Good question it all depends on what sort of emulation your after. I had all the real handhelds back in the 90s as well as consoles and pcs too.

        For the lower end stuff you can generally get away with the R36s but there's alot of devices now which are similar priced but of better quality. The good old Miyoo Mini has always been great too but again there's better devices around nowadays that cost the same. Examples being the h700 series of Anbernic devices such as the Rg40xxv, Rg40xxh and Rgcubexx.

        For the horizontal style ive had a Trimui Smartpro for nearly 2 years now and the newer Brick and Brick Pro are great devices too. There's also the Miniloong Pocket 1 which is amazing but only comes with 1 joystick.

        Then moving onto higher devices there's all the newer Retroid devices such as the Rp5 and Rp6 as well as the new Nova which are all great but more expensive.

        Ive also got an Ayn Odin 2 Portal as well as the Mangmi Pocket Max which are both fantastic devices as well.

        At the other end we have stuff like the Steamdeck and Rog Ally x etc which are even more expensive but better for higher end stuff.

        Having said all this i been playing most of my steam library thru Gamenative and Gamehub on the Odin 2 and Rp5.

        In the end it all comes down to how much you wanna pay and how much you value quality.

        Mind you ive had over 100 devices over the past 5 years or so of which most i have either gifted or sold off. Im going to be selling off more devices soon.

        Unfortunately as most people will tell you once you go down this rabbit hole of handhelds you end up with multiple devices of which me personally ill set-up and store away cos i have too many lol

I also had a Rg35xx which was my goto gameboy device for a while as well as a ton of powkiddy ones which i am selling off too.

            The X55 is my favourite one out of them but since i have so many better but similar devices i will sell that off too. Also have the RGB30 which was my goto device until i got the Rgcubexx.

            Have sold off so many of them but still have a ton to sell. Also have multiple K36 Kinhanks i got back in the day from Aliexpress sales for like $20 each.

            It's gotten to the point where my missus tells me off everytime i get a whole new batch of them and says what about all the others lol

              When the microsd prices went crazy that stopped me buying more retro handhelds. I've got 4x brand new samsung evo plus cards unopened (3x 256gb & 1x 512gb)
              I could make some good coin on those cards ;)
              But they are for the 3 switch lites im going to mod and shell replacement and oled swap. I've already modded, oled swapped & shell replaced the switch lite coral for my cousin (cost breakdown is about $330)

                @nikon: I have bought so many on sales for such a long time that i don't have to worry about that. Up until sometime last year you could find 1tb cards for under $80 on sales if your lucky. The 256gb were under $20 and the 512 were around $35 to $45. The rest of the smaller sizes were even cheaper then that.

                It's a shame whats happened with all the ram and storage prices tho. I was buying 1tb ssds for like $50 to $80 and 512gb for under $30. I even managed to buy a huge lot of refubished 4tb seagate and wd hdds for like $35 each up until the prices started rising.

                Unfortunately tho i did sell off alot of my hdds and stuff before all this started.

                I just mainly now buy new devices to tinker with and setup and use for abit before packing them away.
