Title: AliExpress
Post by: Eddypeck on May 22, 2023, 10:29:57 AM
Has anyone ever ordered from AliExpress? How was your experience?

I'd heard a few people suggest it for non critical parts. I was after some replacement centre caps for my wheels. The same item was available on eBay, but I saw what I wanted on AliExpress for a fraction of the price. Knowing it was the same cheap Chinese tat on eBay for an inflated price I though I'd give it a go ordering form the source.

I placed the order in March, and 75 days later I've finally decided to request a refund since nothing has arrived. :(

The good news was the refund was issued pretty much instantly and since I paid with PayPal the money is back in my account. It would be nice to think the goods might still arrive but I doubt it.

according to my experience, delivery can take about 3 months.
in general, i had no problems here.
you might do a few more orders and then judge for yourself.
