steve_b_wales Posted December 14 Report Share Posted December 14 I've bought loads of various items from them. Never had a problem. Delivery time takes a bit longer than Temu I've found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted December 14 Report Share Posted December 14 I try to avoid buying from China as much as possible. They are constantly trying to undermine the west. At the very least we can cut out a lot of the Chinese tat that just ends up in landfill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseplant Posted December 14 Report Share Posted December 14 I've ordered hundreds of items from AliExpress and it's gone wrong in less than 1% of orders, mostly around COVID and even then, I got a full refund. Mostly fishing gear, but also hunting and camping stuff too. Buy well, choose vendors and items with good reviews. Buy Chinese goods "direct" from the vendor or via multiple middlemen in the UK and rest of the world and pay ten times more. Your choice.

At least the Chinese tat is a lot cheaper if you buy it direct from China, rather than from someone in ripoff Britain for the exact same item.

Agreed, buy from Temu and Aliexpress only ever had one item not turn up and was refunded without issue, most of the over priced stuff you buy in this country is made in China anyway and the savings can be huge i.e. Range Rover XYZ switch (neutral switch) price in UK anywhere around the £6-800" or used around £200, from China £55 new with 7 day delivery.

Agreed. I wont buy it unless i have to and then I buy direct. I still go out of my way to buy from anywhere but china. The Country has a disgusting HR record.

Always buy direct from source rather than middle manned through a drop shipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyH Posted December 15 Author Report Share Posted December 15 I have just used them for some cheap FPV stuff, see what’s it’s like when/IF it turns up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambam1962 Posted December 16 Report Share Posted December 16 I have purchased, lots of items previously from China and haven’t had any problems with delivery, and just be aware of the quality of some items, you’re going to purchase. My latest purchase was H62 grade brass tubes, which are a 1/3 of the price from China, than the UK, and delivered within 7-9 days with detailed tracking information. I honestly, couldn’t fault the service provided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
