It sucks a lot of people on here have had such a bad experience with AliExpress, mine personally has been more positive than negative. I have found many items that are of great quality for a reasonably low price, things that would have cost my twice as much here at home. Most sellers are nice and try to work with you when you have questions or a problem. Now there is a dark side to this marketplace as well: the help bot needs a lot of work, customer service via the chat are completely useless and read from a script, and sellers posting false presumptions about their products as well as using fake tracking numbers to meet processing times needs to be addressed by AliExpress and managed a lot better. Overall tho if you read reviews and choose store with higher ratings, the majority of the time things go smoothly, albeit over the course of 2-4 months but you can't blame AliExpress for the coronavirus
