DO NOT BUY FROM ALI EXPRESS. It is a lottery rigged against you.

I have bought a number of items from AliExpress, because my initial experience with buying Lego clones from them was reasonably positive. It was when I started buying electronic goods and clothes from them the experience rapidly went down hill.

Despite making clear enquiries about the quality and accuracy plus warranty of the goods before committing I was taken to the cleaners.

Clothes were delivered way too small to wear, and of inferior fabric and finish, but the worst was the electronic items, cables, adaptors and USB Flash Drives that were simply unusable forgeries. When you dispute the purchase with ample proof (I thoroughly tested each item), they throw you into a loop where they ignore everything you have posted in response to their ever increasing demands and string you out till they abruptly close the dispute.

My recommendation is DO NOT BUY from AliExpress. Even though I made some successful purchases I overall lost more money than I saved. It was always uncertain how much I would pay, with all the supposed discounts, which then got extras loaded on top when you confirm, but just avid them. If you must buy from eBay which has a decent dispute resolution. AliExpress is just a front for too many crooks.

AVOID AVOID AVOID.

It simply is too much trouble, lost time, feeling of being had and ultimately no savings whatsoever.
