I had to order some spare part which I could only find on AliExpress. Then I found a sub-1€ item which seemed a good idea to order as well.
AliExpress does seem to have some potential in shopping experience optimization.
Somehow, the shopping cart did not show me both items in the same tab, so I had to order them separately.
During the order process, I realized that the address is an old one of mine. I corrected it.
The first order (sub-1€ item) went through without any issue. The second one was declined and I should contact my bank. My bank did not register any issue with my card so I used the credit card of my wife which worked.
This second order had the old address: wrong street, house number and wrong postal code. I went to the details of the order and saw that now, just the postal code was wrong. I corrected it and wrote the seller a comment so that he may fix the postal code, although it will probably reach me also with that postal code.
Here are all the emails I got from AliExpress since I ordered: (I add more and more emails until both packages arrive)

Thirtyfive emails for two orders?
They surely know how to piss off customers. I'll block their email address as soon as I get my packages.
