I ordered more than 1000 parcels from AliExpress, banggoods, gearbest and hobbyking. Never ever I had to pay import duty costs (Netherlands) and in most cases shipment was either free or a redicilous low amount. If everyone would be like me, no store would exist anymore here in Holland. Even though I am a bit of a hypocrite, I do think it's fair to make the market a bit more fair.
- euph0ria 7y agoJust curious, what type of stuff do you buy? I find that the quality often is poor when buying from Aliexpress with artificial ratings boosted by the seller doing anything to get a high review. Banggood has been better with more accurate ratings.
- tverbeure 7y agoNot OP, but I've used AliExpress to stock my home electronics lab with resistors, LEDs, Blue Pill microcontroller boards, connectors, etc. All dirt cheap, often in individual parcels, shipping cost close to zero.
- holoduke 7y agoyes same here. Connectors, crimping tools, wire, electronic components, props, electric motors, control boards, radio sender/receivers, antennas, batteries, tools etc. You need to find your way. The stores have a lot of crap, but once you get a grasp of everything you find out that there is actually quite decent quality stuff out there.
