I buy something at least 3-7 times a WEEK!

Totally love AliExpress.

So far I have purchased hotfix rhinestones in sizes, and shapes
not found anywhere else.

Purchased some pillow covers that I thought was going to be rather
"cheap" and cheesy, but they were NOT even close to that. The quality
was way beyond what I expected. Not to mention this particular vendor
shipped them so fast I had to wait 7 days AFTER I received them to leave
any kind of feedback.

Also purchased multi colors of the bind clips, and MANY other things that
has not yet arrived.

I will NOT stop using this website I love the stuff I can find there.

Remember, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Buyer beware.

I looked this site over and they DO have awesome prices. It all seems very tempting. But, to me, I can't help but wonder about their labor practices. Low prices like this make me suspicious of poor working conditions...pennies an hour...long workdays...child labor? It puts a pall on my enthusiasm.

I bought some buttons for jeans, the kind that you hammer on, because it was under $4 and I thought I'd give them a try.
That was before the boat unloaders, or whatever they're called, went on strike, so they took a while getting here. They kept showing the ships on the news and I just knew my buttons were somewhere on a ship.
Got them about a week after the strike was over, they are fine and the credit card is fine

I totally agree but we end buying their products one way or another.
Problem is a gret deal of products we buy comes from China, whatever you find as "generic" . There is a famous supplier of sewing machine parts online that offers original and generic products. I check them first and order from AliExpress. The platform is totaly reliable but check supplier reputation first. I get even brand blades, presser feet, etc, etc...
