I ordered a laptop motherboard (Order # **************) from the only seller that had one. It was June 9,2020. Aliexpress asked me to wait additional time to allow for delivery changes because of the pandemic. When the time was over, I opened a dispute but they never helped me resolve the matter. I even produced a letter from the main Costa Rica Mail Office here stating it had not arrived. I never got the product and was never reimbursed so I have since vowed to never use Aliexpress again nor would I ever recommend them.
If you pay Upwork to see the bids made from other workers, there are so many workers from impoverished countries so the "low-balling" of bids, causes very little money to be made, if you're even chosen.
