I have an Amazon Prime membership, but I've been using AliExpress for 5 years & always check first to see if they have the item in stock. Many times they have the same item & you can save 50%.

I may try it out. Never had a problem. Just buy from sellers with good reputation & high sales count. When you buy on AliExpress, you're buying from the actual manufacturers...the same ones that Amazon & Walmart buy from & then markup the price. You're just saving money cutting out the middleman. The larger Chinese manufacturers actually have warehouses in the U.S., so you get the product in the same time frame as Amazon, etc. Just don't go looking for unbelievable deals that are obviously knockoffs... You know, like $5 Air Jordans or something. Edited March 27, 2024 by Timmah! Rea 1 Awards

A couple years ago, I bought a Ruixin Pro knife sharpening system on AliExpress for $19.99. Cheapest I found it on Amazon was $39.99. Some vendors had the manufacturer put their name on it & were selling them for $120! WeednFeed 1 Awards

Another Chinese mail order trying to break into and compete with Amazon and Ali Express. My brother has used them and has returned items with no issue. His refund has been applied to his card as soon as the post office scanned his shipping label. As clarification my brother just retired from a company he was partners with for over 40 years. Most everything they imported was manufactured in CHINA. His business was 90% supported by Chinese manufacturing. None of his stock is made in North America or Europe. He traveled to China many times. He used to buy containers of stock every few months. He is used to purchasing with China and has never had an issue. He is now retired. Timmah! and Icequeen 2 Awards

Looks like a nice Chinese front to sell knockoff junk. Though I was very interested in this Knockoff Juicy Fruit. Never seen it packaged this way and for a $1.99, I'd like to give that a try.

I did look it over as well. It's very much like Temu and Shein. From what I've read in reviews alot of people prefer these 3 sites to others. However, not alpt of people are too happy about it being from China. I do bear alot of child labor is being used for these sites. How true that is I don't know.

I started getting pissed off at the world and the way it was being ran when, Walmart started buying their goods from China, I think in the 90's. They were cutting out everyone else and the Child labor was the number one reason I hated it and many others did. I had no problem with Japanese junk, (good junk btw) so why would I have a problem with Chinese Junk? The child labor is why!!! And who was instrumental in making that happen? Hillary Clinton. Dumb Useful Idiots allowing that to happen can't see reality if you posted in on a IPro Vision (made in China) and whore it 24/7 with realty playing non stop. My dog has more common sense. A place that is huge on merchandise is TikTok. My buddy is Off Grid Gary in Louisiana and he has a channel there and he had one video get a tone of views one time then he got a bunch of subscribers. Now he's being offered free merchandise to advertise. He tests it out, makes a short video's and keeps the items. Not all Chinese but lots of it is. Not all of it is junk and he gets to choose what he tests. He gets lots of create stuff for his Homestead. Off Grid living is the best thing ever and he is living a dream and we both know shit's going to change before 2030 and none of us will survive. Gary's huge in to Solar tech. No grid power and he converts golf carts to Solar. This one is his and it's bad ass. No Golf Car around like it... not even close. It has 2 36v LiPo4 10 kWh total power. This cart runs his house or the AC unit when he needs extra power. It can climb up steep hills, it can towed, it will mow his grass (he's making a electric pull mower to plug in the cart) to the point this cart has almost replaced his tractor. He's a very good mechanic Dyslexic as fuck like I, and why we get along so well and he loves to tinker with things till he figures them out. He's working on a 2018 Chevy Volt battery pack that has 18 kWh of battery at 33v. Here is his cart in action. This thing is so cool. I would have a blast with this think out here and YOU NEVER NEED TO PLUG IT IN! No gas no nothing, just Sun. But to show you what Tik Tok is doing. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLjwwTpu/ Freaking TikTok is huge.. but I want nothing to do with it. I can see the USA buying it but I can see us banning it. It's really that huge and many people have a business there. I refuse to watch any commercial so... I avoid the brainwashing so I do little watching on the Tok. The Chevy Volt battery pack. Buys a BMS (battery management system) brakes down the battery packs into 12 at 33v each... that is a nice battery. But not safe like a LiPo4.
