I have discovered the AliExpress website quite recently.
Brought from them about a dozen items.
5 stars!
The articles took from 3 weeks to a month to arrive to Portugal via Flat rate.
It's the usual time.
The sellers are quite ok and the service is exelent.
For the last 3 or 4 years I've brought several articles from MiniInTheBox website.
(also from LightInTheBox).
Never had a problem with any order.
Only once a item get lost but was a problem with the local postman (CTT) that has delivered the item to a different address.
All the articles took about 1 month to arrive to Portugal.
The quality is excellent for the price and in absolute value also.
A couple of friends have started to buy there also.
I can only say positive thinghs. Realy.
I RECOMMEND with no reserves.
Just be aware with local customs if the item price is superior than around 20.
An European Warehouse will be a major update.
