Wonder if they get flagged for fraud or charge backs a lot. I ordered an item from them about a year ago. The second I hit the submit button on the order form, my phone rang (it was somewhat creepy how quick the phone call came). It was my bank checking to make sure it was a valid transaction. I've never had them call me to verify a transaction before. This was from an automated system but I received a follow up call the next day from a human double checking that it was a valid transaction. It was for maybe about $50 and everything went smoothly but it is interesting that they were instantly tagged for a fraud alert.

Its 50/50 in my experience..

Basically every single thing you buy in a store, is also available, at around 1/10 the price, at these sites.

The next time you need a kitchen gadget, tool, measuring cup, belt, socks, pencil. Anything. Buy it on aliexpress and save a ton, in exchange for very long shipping times, and you pretty much can't return anything (you can get refunds for defective stuff, but not for wrong size/color etc).

And it's not just a Chinese clone of the item, it's the exact same item, with a different name printed on it.

Oh gosh.

Head over to banggood.com and see what you've been missing.

Every electronics I ever tried to buy cheap from China (e.g. from dhgate.com) has been broken. I have literally never seen an electronics that is remotely close to working from this source. I do believe that you can get something if you're lucky; but even after reading reviews and seeing good ones I got USBs that are not working (I tried to buy them out of curiosity, I just spent $10 or something).
