Requires nerves of steel to navigate Aliexpress.


The only problems I've had with AliExpress is the anxiety of choosing a seller where a cheaper one exists. All the hardware I've ever bought has been exactly what I ordered.


I buy stuff from them all the time. They are Amazon with longer shipping times and better prices.

It's harder to return stuff, sure, but just don't buy anything like that there.

I've never been ripped off by them. One time I bought some stuff and it wasn't being shipped so I cancelled my order and got my money back.


I've had good luck buying from the Wemos and Lilygo official stores on AX. Have had no problems in many years and dozens of orders. Other sellers are a gamble.
