In my experience dont buy anything that ask for wire transfer. I got scammed once. But had good outcome from most. U gotta see their rating just like ebay.

I've order some model kits through AliExpress and my wife has ordered a bunch of items through them as well. We've received everything fairly quickly without issue. I looked at one item that had much better than average pricing but it was a new company without ratings yet. I followed the item for a few weeks to see if anybody received the product and gave a rating but the company ended up disappearing from AliExpress. So I would make sure that there are reviews on the specific product you want from the seller and the company has been on AliExpress for awhile before ordering.

To add to my skepticism, I noticed that my negative review of the seller has never appeared, just lots of positive ones. And the item that I was trying to buy is no longer available. Seems that he never had the item and just faked the shipping hoping that my time to open a Dispute would run out and he would not have to refund the order.

So it is definitely buyer beware, and trust nothing with AliExpress, as far as I am concerned.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
