I just self-warranty and self-return AliExpress items into the garbage can. I assume that will happen ~10% of the time, which is much less than my savings. Ok, I’ll admit, sometimes I warranty claim and get a refund. What I like about aliexpress reviews is that they seem to mostly be by well-intentioned Russians evaluating purchases on a strictly technical basis. Ali’s auto-translation is sloppy but it’s nothing like the wasteland that is most Amazon reviews.
