Ive been buying things from AliExpress for over a decade. I've saved thousands and thousands of dollars by buying from there. I've never once had anyone ask me to buy things off AliExpress.

I've mostly bought small things like hats, computer parts, cables. Anything on Amazon is half the price on AliExpress.

I would never buy a video card or expensive things like that off it because Chinese are scammers and it's a Chinese site.

But it's great for cables and computer parts. I've even bought cellphones off it.

If you have any issue open a refund request and AliExpress usually sides with the buyer
