[crickets]?
No. I don't do commerce on Internet. I just feel badly that you've had no response.

It's like eBay. Where everything's translated from another language that's so different you don't know just exactly what you're going to get.

I've purchased stuff from alibaba as well as aliexpress. Its fine as long as you make sure you know what you're getting and clearly define things.

Alibaba isn't a store; it's a marketplace. I've purchased from Alibaba, but that won't help you know anything about a particular merchant.

AliExpress...better results than with ordering from China on Ebay, since the money is held in escrow. About one in four such ebay items never show up for me. On the other hand, more research/digging around is required to find what you want or to get the right price on AliExpress.

Alibaba
Thanks everyone
No I was just checking the site . When you are in Alibaba there is a section called "Ready to Ship" that looks like you could possible place a order.
My preferences of ship point would be Hong Kong and Shenzen …..
Aliexpress has pop up windows which are annoying

What about Wish? I have seen many videos of people ordering from these places and they often receive a cheap imitation of the item in the picture.

I thought my fifth grader watching videos of people playing video games was crazy.
