I haven't used it yet myself, but my brother has and recommends it.

[ducatilover]

I use it a lot and a few Taobao agents. Pretty decent service and lots of cheap stuff, babes love cheap stuff.

Couple of guys at work have used aliexpress to buy stuff cheap for prototyping etc, haven't had any issues.

Interesting to see some good feedback for them

Google "ali express scam" for some light reading lol

I was shown something on there - wrong pic for spec wrong model year listed - price way too low to be true = be very wary
basically i said to the guy go on if you buy one i can double your money parting it out on trademe - but there are so many storys of stuff never arrived or when it got here was not even remotely what was ordered and costs more to send it back than to just throw it away

I find with ebay or these ali resellers - just google the product itself and buy direct from the manufacturer or wholesaler that they buy from

paypal by visa debit card gives some protection - paypal can be ass to deal with but as soon as you sic visa onto them they reverse charges pretty quickly

what were you specifically looking at on the site?

[Citron]

I have used the site many times and everything has always turned u[ fine. My last purchase was a Bluetooth headset for my helmet for a shit ton cheaper than trademe.

A shit ton? Iv had a shit ounce, but a shit ton.........

3w led running lights for $5us a pair, free freight. Worth the risk and it turns out they work brilliantly.

Which ones did you get?

Some cheap stuff there... Chinese cheap of course, but worth the risk.
H7 HID replacement Bulbs for $10 or so, LCD voltage meters less than $10... Might be shopping time...

Basically they roll out of the same factory in China. K&N buys from them and put K&N sticker on it. Other Chinese buys leftovers/ nightshift products and sells them for their benefits.

Six of one thing half a dozen of another.

Still got 6 pair left...

Short version for those who can't be bothered reading:

Product: As described or better.
Shipping: Bloody slow to get underway, but arrived in under 30 days all up.
Price: Cheap.
Communication: Have had more involved conversations with my pet rock.
Verdict: 8/10, would bang on weekends.

Couldn't get the right size locally in Blenheim and the LS2 agent was out of stock nationally (and didn't want to pull one out of stock of another shop in case I changed my mind/it didn't fit) so I thought I'd take a swing at the helmet I wanted off Aliexpress. Was a bit nervous because I didn't have a chance to try on the size I thought I would need, but figured I could break even flicking it on if it didn't.
Well it landed today and she fits fawkin perfect!

Bloody cheap compared to locally (although I thought $300 was still a pretty good deal) however it comes with a massive wait and I'm glad it was packed well because the box looks like it had a hard time getting here.

Threw some pants into the order while I was at it and what arrived was not as picture, but better and actually a pair of Alpinestars, schweet!
No idea if they are knock offs, don't really care for the price (thought I was buying unbranded anyway) but the helmet is certainly legit and although I chose snail mail for the pants the dude threw them in fasterish post with the helmet.

Main tip would be to vet the stores (like you do buyers on trademe) as there are a few dodgy looking ones on there. There were one or two that had cheaper prices on the same helmet but less, none or crappy feedback so steered clear for the sake of $20 or so US more.

[Mattr]

I bought some hunting torches from there, and the chic called me from China to make sure I got the items as i forgot to confirm delivery. Bloody great service I say.

Ali's rival is DHGate. I got plenty of my bike gears through them (incl my LS2 flipup helmet), but be warned: Some of their "leather" is fake leather.

Ahh I remember you telling me about that. What model was yours? I paid a bit more than you from memory but whites seem to cost more for some reason damnit.

Yeah looks like there is plenty of fake leather on AlieXpress too. Some really awesome looking jackets that have unreal prices...just doesn't quite add up. Mind you if you stick to the bigger sellers on there who knows, could be legit.

I believe I paid about $200 NZD for mine a couple of years ago, so what you got is a pretty good deal. The model was LS2 386 or something (can't remember top of my head, no pun intended).

Yes, as much as there are bogus sellers there are also genuine sellers too. AliExpress and DHGate are like Trademe of China. All of their products roll off from the same factory/ distributor. Mind you, some of the products they have are rolled off from genuine brand factories e.g. Joe Rocket, LS2, Dainese, Alpinestars, Harley Davidson appearel and some others. Products that are sold on AliExp and DHGate are either discontinued products, quality test failures (stitching, size, and/or minor check), overnight productions, cancelled orders, overstock, surplus etc.

You buy at your own risk, but so far from what I've got they are all excellent.
