Aliexpress
« on: Mon, 06 March 2017, 14:43:24 »
Not sure where to post this, but I thought it might help out a person or two. 

I live in the US and I've been ordering goods off of Aliexpress for a while now and I've always had a good experience.  I've purchased 3 cases, 2 PCBs and a few keycap sets.  I also am more aware of when other retailers in this community are buying the same stuff and marking it up a fair amount (I shall not mention names  :p)  I wouldn't say everything is cheaper on ali, but a large portion of it is.

The only issue is wait time.  If you do free shipping (and you should, since it saves a lot of money), you should expect to wait a few weeks to get your product.

Just going to put this out there for anyone wondering about using the service.

And now, the best part about buying Chinese products... the typos!  I'm not sure if I want sliver or gary.

Nice to see a review on this site/service.

That being said-- Japanese is my (for lack of a better term) second language, so I *often* get to chuckle and inappropriately used English, and/or unwittingly typo'd spellings, as per your example. :P Makes for a nice chuckle, and makes me feel a little less self-conscious about my own lacking in Japanese aptitude.

what sellers are you using? It's kind of like reviewing eBay   :))

It's just that reviewing AliExpress is not really reviewing a particular experience.  If you're going to review, you should review the particular seller, as other sellers can have a totally different experience.
