Title: Never heard of them
Post by: BazaJT on 20 August 2025, 10:18:18
Ordered an oil filter housing off ebay for my V70 just in case anything goes wrong with oil and filter change (they're cheap enough so no big deal if it's not needed) it's due for delivery today by a company called  Yun Express this is a new one on me I've never heard of them before 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Yes you might find a Chicken Chow Mein turns up instead of your oil filter housing.  ;D

A chicken chow mein would probably be more expensive  ;D

It did strike me that it sounded very Chinese but the seller is apparently in Staffordshire ! Still I'll find out tomorrow (hopefully) when it's supposed to arrive.

A quick google shows them to be all legit.  :y  A Chinese company that specialises in the logistics of overseas transportation of packages and then the final leg of the journey is taken over by Royal Mail or DHL. That’s probably why we’ve never heard of them. It’s the final part of the journey that should worry you, not the Yun Express part.  ;D

David Jason and Ronnie Barker once made a joke to a bunch of woke 'twenty somethings' that did not go down well.

Apparently at the end of filming the producer calls for a 'clear'. This is done do this before starting to film again.

Barker joked that  a 'clear' was a Chinese homosexual...... ;D ;D....which  David Jason also found funny.

But younger member were not amused. :-X :-\ :D

You find this a lot if you use chinky volume sellers like aliexpress or banggood.  Probably why they can afford to ship a package halfway round the world cheaper and faster than I can send a birthday card to mum....
