I've been very impressed by AliExpress, and ordered over 50 different things in just the past year. My experience has been nothing but positive.
I've been filling my shopping cart for the past week, waiting for tomorrow's Singles' Day (aka 11.11 Shopping Festival).
On a side note, I think their Android app is top notch (far better than any shopping app I've used before).
- wcummings 10y agoI love alibaba/aliexpress, it's like "China: The Website". Great for cheap microcontrollers and what not.
- fapjacks 10y agoYES!! You can buy just an egregious amount of (crappy) components for very little money. As a wannabe-inventor that burns through a lot of components, this is really one of my favorite things about it.
- Freak_NL 10y agoIt's great for amateur electronics projects. Need 100 22AWG five-strand connectors and you're not in a rush? Hit up AliExpress, and they'll show up on your doorstep for less than the price of a frozen pizza in a few weeks.
- 50CNT 10y agoJust as an example what taobao is so neat for, Temperature Controlled Outlet 33.3 RMB https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.13.t80P3i&id=536295296729&cm_id=140105335569ed55e27b&abbucket=4&skuId=3200881016743 Water Heater 19.9 RMB https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.1.MjQ88E&id=527717128601&cm_id=140105335569ed55e27b&abbucket=4&skuId=3219050495205 Aquarium Wave Maker 15.9 RMB https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.47.Wgm0TD&id=533814521124&ns=1&abbucket=4#detail 50 L Plastic Box 35.0 RMB https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.13.haJnJy&id=530500415822&cm_id=140105335569ed55e27b&abbucket=4&sku_properties=21433:648878820 Which, if i manage to get it working, makes a sous vide circulator (i hope). Also have a small hydroponics setup in an orgfile somewhere, which comes to about 150RMB.
- Cyph0n 10y agoSame here. I think I should get back to adding more stuff!
- dodgedcactii 10y agoWhat about for small electronics like stuff I'd get from geekbuying?
- voltagex_ 10y agoAren't GeekBuying just sourcing from Alibaba anyway?
- criddell 10y agoWhat country are you in? How long are the shipping times for you?
- miguelrochefort 10y ago> What country are you in? Canada. > How long are the shipping times for you? Very long, but I'm not in a hurry. Between 2 weeks and 2 months.
