I’ve had mostly good experiences with Aliexpress though you have to read the fine print on everything very carefully - I think most people would have a lot of problems with that. There have been a few times I ordered electronic components and received ladies handbags or, hilariously, a toddler size leather miniskirt. I did get a refund in all those cases but it was a multi week process.

I did think it was pretty funny that the same tweezers CVS sells for $7 a piece in midtown Manhattan costs 5/$1 on Aliexpress. Only difference is the CVS tweezers are available immediately whereas I had to wait 20 days to receive the ones from Aliexpress - though I more or less have a lifetime supply now. :)
