I will, thank you.
Good proposition.
I will, thank you for the useful information.
Thanks for the advice.
I got in touch with Flipsky, someone called Yoyo was very responsive…
I transferred $50 + $7 for shipping to Bulgaria and now I have to wait…

Can you also ask them if i can have two receivers bound to one VX5?
The binding process is fairly simple so having to connect inbetween 2 receivers is simply done by putting the remote in pairing mode, and booting up one of the receivers and it will automatically connect.
Huh, so you do not need to press anything on the receiver? In that case what if my friend also has a vx5 in another board and he turns the board on before i do? Will it automatically connect to my remote?
Exactly. You dont need to touch the receiver.
Make sure board is off, put remote on, put remote into pair mode, plug battery into board, and the receiver will automatically connect to the remote, Very easy and simple process. WIll only happen when the remote is in pairing mode.
Got it, very helpful, thanks! I can start building second battery now, since i have a receiver permanently inside it.
It’s on sale right now… awesome.
But what I don’t understand is why it’s giving me another 40€ off because of VAT?!
It’s very strange…
But I’m tempted to order another one…
The VAT will have to be paid when it enters the county. So the delivery service, like FedEX will send you an invoice with the to be paid tax. If that’s paid, it will go from the import / sorting center to your house.
Also, you seem to forget to use the promo code from the AliExpress front page 
I think it would be beter to remove you address and CC info from the image

Until now, I have never paid VAT when shopping from aliexpress.com (I have over 100 orders for various things - efoil, rc heli, electric skateboard…). I think they charge it when ordering according to some European regulation…
On the contrary, when ordering directly from Maytech or Flipsky, which have always delivered to me with DHL, I have always paid VAT and some small customs duty…
That’s why I was surprised…
As for the address, thanks for the remark…
VAT and other taxes are already priced in at Aliexpress for EU customers. They have to take care of that on behalf of end consumers as a big international shopping platform by EU regulation.
There might be exceptions though. I am not sure in which cases they apply.
Depends n the amount ordered. From 150€> the VAT is deducted, and will be invoiced separately by the shipping company.

Okay friends,I think we’re entering customs territory too much…
I’ll wait for it to arrive and then I’ll tell you if I paid anything else… just for information and in case anyone can benefit.
As per May 29th 2026, VX5 price:
- On Flipsky site: 178€ (208usd). If added VAT: 178 x 1.2 = 214€
- On Aliexpress dot com site: 247€
As I already wrote, aliexpress.com charged me 201€. I don’t think I’ll pay anything else (VAT), at least I’ve never paid anything when ordering from ali…
Interesting detail - today I received the additional receiver that I ordered directly from Flipsky.
And the remote from aliexpress.com hasn’t arrived yet…
