I've never shopped on these sites. What are people typically buying? Is there something I should be stocking up on?

- gnulinux 7y agoEvery electronics I ever tried to buy cheap from China (e.g. from dhgate.com) has been broken. I have literally never seen an electronics that is remotely close to working from this source. I do believe that you can get something if you're lucky; but even after reading reviews and seeing good ones I got USBs that are not working (I tried to buy them out of curiosity, I just spent $10 or something).
- pravda 7y agoOh gosh. Head over to banggood.com and see what you've been missing.
- mistermann 7y agoAre any such companies like this listed on a US stock exchange? I'm thinking this has got to hit some companies with serious risk to sales or profit?

- ars 7y agoBasically every single thing you buy in a store, is also available, at around 1/10 the price, at these sites. The next time you need a kitchen gadget, tool, measuring cup, belt, socks, pencil. Anything. Buy it on aliexpress and save a ton, in exchange for very long shipping times, and you pretty much can't return anything (you can get refunds for defective stuff, but not for wrong size/color etc). And it's not just a Chinese clone of the item, it's the exact same item, with a different name printed on it.
