AliExpress sucks.

I buy only from the "choice" sellers. That stuff is sold directly by Ali or at least fully refundable through them. $173 is a too good to be true deal.
How do you know who’s a good seller and a risky seller?
Is there a way to sort for top rated sellers only?
I would love to weed out the sketchy poor rated sellers .

They do seem to have access to some stuff you just can’t find anywhere else.


I had sort of ruled out any of them that I saw crazy cheap price yet insane shipping charges. Those looked sort felt sketchy with a misleading cheap price and a gotcha freight charge for more the item sort of thing.

Common sense mostly
 
I try not to be a freakin storm cloud, and this is my own fault for expecting anything but what I got…

That being said.. FU AliExpress.. Grabbed up a 1000W, 30V, 110V power supply for my new Hota S6 charger(s), as I figured, “worth a shot for the price/stats..”.. I went back and forth on that decision for a few weeks before I finally decided to squeeze the trigger..

Well it finally showed TF up.. Exactly the experience I expected from AliExpress..

-60 days to arrive
-Damaged packaging
-Not as advertised in listing
-Damaged item

Sweet.. I won’t make that mistake again. I’d much rather spend a bit more, and not get raped. I’ll fab up my own next go around. Lesson learned. 🙄🤬🤷🏻‍♂️

Ordering the nb12+ from there soon I'm hoping it's as good as the "other buyers" say and not a scam . . . .
