I have been shopping on AliExpress for years as there are lots of bargain buys from clothing to cell phone accessories. However, If you are buying something over 100 dollars, please be cautious. The buyer protection policy is a joke. I bought a cell phone on AliExpress and paid extra to have the item shipped from US. But after receiving a dead phone and uploaded several videos to demonstrate it non-working, AliExpress mediation decreed that I need to ship it to China for refund. Months after I paid almost $30 to send the phone back, the buyer did not acknowledge the receipt (USPS tracking not available within China) and AliExpress did not refund me despite their promise to refund as long as I show evidence of shipping.
