For those unfamiliar, this is a free service that creates a limited-use virtual credit card for you. The card number locks down to whatever merchant it is first used, so no other vendor can charge anything, and you set limits as to how much can be charged, and can cancel it after the first/any use. It is free because it serves as the credit card processor, so the fee gets paid by the vendor via standard cc practice. I know of at least one credit card company that uses something very similar. You get a virtual card number for a seller, and that number is locked to that vendor, and can't be used anywhere else. I use that all the time, and don't have to worry about fraudulent usage for that number.
FWIW, I'd never, ever use a debit card online. Ever. Never.

I used it few times. Very positive experience . The delivery was much faster than expected. Aliexpress customer service is always very quick to response through this website and always takes customer side when it comes to some arguments.

I have used Aliexpress in the past to order spray nozzles for our sewer plant. The prices of ones available were on the order of $100+ per nozzle. I bought 12 from an Aliexpress company for a dozen for less than $100, and they worked excellently. The shipping took a bit, but not longer than they said it would. Use a one-time card and you should be fine.

Quote:"AliExpress is an online retail service based in China owned by the Alibaba Group. Launched in 2010, it is made up of small businesses in China and other locations, such as Singapore, that offer products to international online buyers. It is the most visited e-commerce website in Russia and was the 10th most popular website in Brazil. It facilitates small businesses to sell to customers all over the world. AliExpress has drawn comparison to eBay, as sellers are independent and use the platform to offer products to buyers."

Fear not just bc its based in China.
I know someone who buys all kinds of EV machines bikes,etc,Ali delivers. And their prices are very competitive.
Quality wise is another question Lol.
Btw take a look at Reporterfy media travel chanel he lives there and China is way diferent from what our media paints it to be.
Living in China chanel is also good to watch
Chinese cops dont even have guns bc its so safe,mainly bc drugs are not allowed.

Aliexpress is one of the most popular e-commerce websites that allow buying and selling products. It is easy to find products at lower prices there, moreover, the choice is really wide. I make purchases there now and then. What I also like about this platform is it often offers free shipping.

I should say, I haven't used Aliexpress for a long time. Mostly Amazon and eBay. But I noticed that more and more people prefer aliexpress due to lower prices. Maybe I should give it another try.

The only problem I've had with them was not with them.. They Ship DHL and I've had simpments sit on a dock for over a month after they arrived here in the USA.. in fact I have one there now.
NOTE I've also had shipments arrive promptly.. Products were as advertised. and of decent quality.
That said.. I'm always a bit....leary... of prices that low.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

For about two years. No complaints. I am in general not afraid to buy international products and services cause the quality if often excellent and the prices are much better than here. My last discovery was these services https://pickwriters.com/french-translation-services which i now use once or twice a week for my job. It saves me so much time and i can't imagine how i lived without it before.
