With Aliexpress you must realize that this site is like ebay not in bidding but in that you are buying from each person individually. Each store has their own ratings and way to ship. I don't buy from anyone with a rating under 96 or 95. Same as I do with Ebay.

EVERYTHING is going to take at least weeks to ship, because its from out of the country.

I have gotten amazing deals here. Items selling stores here for 60 dollars I have gotten for 5 Shipped. Shipping is mostly free.

You just got to be smart, always read the reviews, don't buy it if there isn't a review on it. Look at the pictures in the review, they are almost always different the real pictures.

Clothing is almost always a bad choice to buy. They are almost always very very poorly made. Everything else jewelry and househould items are awesome and I have gotten great deals. Toys are 50/50. Stuff animals are cute and worth it most of the time.

Shipping is slooooooow always. Returns depends on the store you buy from. Most give you a refund for a decent review without returns. So that's worth it.

Quality depends on the store.

It's good to note that although your card will be charged when your order is placed, the store you bought from doesn't get paid until you confirm you received the order and rate them. So if you are unhappy don't say you received it until you contact the seller first. I have always had people willing to work with you.

So be carful and smart when buying here. Some items can be duds but It can be well worth it, if you are smart when buying!

I have made two separate orders now from this site, overall this site is pretty good. Both my orders took over a month to receive. Be aware of that. I ordered something on the 27th and it didn't even ship till the 7th of the next month... that's just them shipping it. Then I didn't receive it for another two weeks. So it took about a month every time I ordered something. Some items are cheaper at other places (ie the dollar tree) so look around before buying. Some items are a really good value as well so just be mindful when your shopping!

I also received items that they made look different then how they were. Misleading full sized items for mini's. So read carefully, pictures can be deceiving.

Each time I placed an order some things in my kart were no longer available. I got money back and a two dollar credit, so that is something they do good, but if you want it order fast!

Overall you can find some good deals, just be prepaid to wait a long time for your items.
