Is it any difference than shopping from Amazon, except you don't have to pay the dropshipping markup?

Worse support. Amazon usually will try and make you whole-ish, aliexpress is like lmao

  • That is not my experience with AliExpress. I usually just got my money back when I complained.

    • They just make it very hard to complain. And it always is necessary to do a lot of back and forth

    • It probably varies based on item price and how obvious the issue is. I had two sub-$10 items arrive visibly broken recently and got refunds in under 5 minutes.

  • Hmm, with one exception, every time I've had an issue it was resolved with a full refund within 5 minutes. They do make you give them a picture of the issue.
