Are you sure it's because of Ali? As I never got any. And, I must confess, I even like Alispam - they give very interesting ideas from time to time.
As with most spam, one cannot be sure. It is just that these chinese spams are something of the past two years I think.
There is also a possibility that it comes from people collecting address lists and then selling them, but in that case I do not understand why only chinese.
But at less than one per day, it is not very annoying (yet?).
I have two spam directories: one for outright spam, and one for mailorder related spam. The ones of ali go in the last one. There I always check a bit better and indeed, before throwing them, I look for ideas. Lately not much though It is mainly stuff that I have bought a eady, or that I have looked at and decided to skip.

I have ordered a couple of things from Ail.
Got a few emails stating my package is one it’s way or landed.
Yes, I have an outfit ordered, however, the tracking numbers are crap. Clicking on tracking gets me nothing.
This is why I don’t use these guys.
Information sucks, tracking sucks.
eBay is better…. For me that is.

It depends on type of delivery. Some of them have no tracking. But several times there is many unuseful records "arrived to sorting center" "dispatched to processing center", ten or more such records still inside GMT +8 timezone, i.e. in China... Sometimes it is also weird when you see records in GMT +8 TZ, then GMT +1, then again GMT +8 etc. 😊 But it works. Somehow.

Well for me, it has issues.
Quoting: Your order has a new update.
Click on the link to see your order status.
‘Click’

So, what is the status? Beats me.
By the way, it finely showed up yesterday.
Other than the glove fingers are really long, needs trimming, the costume is really great. I am happy with it.
