    Hi guys

    Any one buy from aliexpress.com. I'm looking to get a few bits but the site seems to have mixed reviews.

    Cheers for any feedback.

    Its a marketplace nothing wrong with aliexpress just need to check feedback on sellers. I have found the customer service good only had a couple of sellers not come through and each time it was sorted out really quickly.

    Its the biggest ecommerce site in the world so its always going to have a few people who have had a poor experience.

    Try Ali baba as well as they can be cheaper. Usually this is for volume only but there are sellers who will do small numbers as well.

    Just to be aware that if you are looking to resell, be careful of item that don't meet European standards.

    Friends of mine bought kids clothing from a reseller and it had ties that were too long, ie <15cm.

    Best to check the ISO website before offering anything for resale.

    Clothing and foot wear are particularly small , always check the measurements .

    Yea, if it gets caught.

    Anything over €22 is liable.
