Title: How reliable is Aliexpress?
Post by: Nikelu on Wed, 11 February 2015, 08:10:24

eg this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/ducky-2087-yellow-body-TKL-tenkeyless-gaming-mechanical-keyboard-cherry-mx-switches-brown-ducky-87-compact/1926014010.html is 97 euros with free shipping to Greece. (yeah,greetings) I heard it is kind of ebay with sellers.It doesn't accept paypal,although in Greece it is a bit messy to transfer money to paypal,but credit cards and Western Union I think

Yeah it's pretty much a mixed bag like eBay because they have loads of different sellers. They've never failed to deliver anything to me yet however beware of the free shipping, it usually takes 4+ weeks to arrive.

I don't think I have a problem waiting.It makes it more interesting too ,and I see many reviews from sellers pre-purchase to be sure.

i've ordered a set of $50 headphones and a couple other random things from there and I've never had a problem. shipping took like 4 weeks to Canada but it's like 1-2 weeks now for me in Japan.
