Good evening, any of you fellas have any experience with this website in china? Prices are really cheap and i haven't seen any bad press on them. Looking at getting some electronics at more then 50% off the price. Any help would be appreciated.
OT: Aliexpress?????

I’ll get back to you in 10 minutes. I have to send my daughter $1,000 in Visa gifts cards to get out of a reckless driving ticket she got in Trenton and they have impounded her car. Looks like she got a new email address. I’m not worried though, I got an email this morning that I won the Nigerian lottery.

Yes have bought vintage cycling jerseys from them but nothing else. Some to wear. Some for display in the man cave. They exact same jerseys are resold by USA companies for 5x the cost. Electronics stuff??
The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative currently lists AliExpress as one of the top global sources of counterfeit products, so if you buy from AliExpress, you always run the risk of receiving fake items from unscrupulous sellers. To its credit, AliExpress is making efforts to combat counterfeiting. Intellectual property rights holders can now report listings that violate their rights, and it seems that AliExpress is actually taking action.
I personally wouldn't buy electronics from them. You get what you pay for.
Speaking of being screwed by towing and impound costs. I happened to take a picture of the street in Newark I parked on one morning so I wouldn’t forget where I parked later that day.
Hours later when I returned my car was gone. Towed for parking between reserved for handicapped signs that were installed after I parked there. Had to go to court to appeal the $250 fine, which was an easy win by showing the judge the street pic with no handicapped signs that morning.
But there was no way to recover the $400 or so towing and impound charge from the private tow firm.

I think it’s gonna be 33/33/33. I heard one of the lizard people that live underground also won.
But how do we know security.org is legit and not bought by advertising?
Don't hold your breath. We handled a matter for someone who had product listed there, and we got nothing. Would not buy anything directly from China. Even on Amazon, we look for products that are not made in China. It can be difficult to find some products.
Same here for some NHL stuff.
I was very surprised on the quality. More than once they made the “mistake” of giving me the authentic version as opposed to the ordered less expensive replica.
Haven’t bought from alliexpress but good deals on watches, particularly homage type watches (not imposter Rolexes etc). Much more bang for your the buck and well reviewed on YouTube.
Like anything, do your homework. If it’s electronics, someone may have bought and reviewed the product and seller on YT. That’s the case for watches.

There are a number of sites that say just about the same thing. It is unlikely that they are all advertising. Second, it is unlikely that negative reviews would be just "advertising" when there is no alternative product being pushed.
I'm not a tinfoil hat guy, but, for example, on Amazon, there are tons of fake reviews created by bots. I would be highly suspicious of any of the websites selling products directly from China. Sorry if that sounds xenophobic, but just my experience. We tried to shut down a fake goods seller for a client, and it was a nightmare and eye-opener. Not my best grammer here (Kelsey too!).
I know that. It's why one can never trust Amazon reviews, especially favorable ones. But, as I say, here there were multiple sites saying the same thing and the reviews were negative (at least negative enough that I would never do business with aliexpress) It's much more likely that positive reviews are fake because no one directly profits from reviews being negative. I should add that, no matter what the reviews, I would never ever buy anything from a Chinese site because China does not respect Western intellectual property laws, and so there are no protections against fakes.
