I have ordered over a thousand dollars of electric guitars through Ali express. There are excellent stores and there are stores that are ran very poorly ( Shelly Store). You are taking a considerable risk ordering through some of these poorly ran stores. I have received 2 guitars no problems through stores with a good reputation. The other 2 guitars I am not sure if I will ever receive them. They were ordered though the Shelly Store. It's like gambling. You have to take on the risk. The only advantage is that I do not have the desire to go to the Casino and gamble, because I can just shop on Ali Express. Beware.
