Has anyone used Aliexpress?

I've ordered on it before way in the past. It takes a while to ship and deliver to you, typically since most items are from China.

As long as you look at the reviews for the items, you shouldn’t have a problem

Can be slow but I’ve had great experiences.
TIPS:
- Gravitate to items with photos in the reviews. That way you can see the actual quality. - Check how many orders the seller has fulfilled and also note their estimated delivery date
Lately delivery windows have been slow because of Lunar New Year. However I ordered my veil and received it in less than 2 weeks!

OMG that is beautiful!!! I haven't really thought about veils or dresses but yours came across and its so beautiful!

I've ordered stuff from Aliexpress in the past and it can take weeks to get things. Plus, all of their stuff comes from China and with this whole virus thing going around I would shy away from ordering from there for the time being.

Middle man with a markup. Since most factories in China typically shut down for Luna new year anyway the current threat to those foods already in factories is low.

Delivery can take a long time and make sure you read the description because it is usually VERY literal. Otherwise, myself and family members have had no problems.

Be aware that with Lunar New Year and the Coronavirus, a LOT in China is fully shut down right now and may be until the end of February. Shipping could be even more delayed with the WHO declaring a global emergency. Right now might not be the best time to order things from China....

I order things off of Ali religiously! Definitely read reviews as each listing is a different seller (like Etsy). It will take around a month to get here but I've had so many good outcomes with Ali. You can save tons of money too!
