I always hear stories about the dangers of buying from WIsh.com, Aliexpress, and recently Temu. I’ve jokingly called them “buyer beware” sites even. Yet people still use them, and there’s just as many positive results as negative. But I’ve also heard about unexplained card charges, data hacks, pyramid-scheme-like behavior, etc. So which of those sites, or other similar sites, is the “safest” if I DID wanna shop there?
Aliexpress. I make sure to order stuff tgat was sold 100, 1000, 10000 times and has a good rating and some pictures in reviews. This is just to make sure I won’t order at some place that will cancel my order after 2 weeks. But I never had any serious problems. And a couple of times when I received broken stuff, I received partial or full refunds. I ordered several thousand items from Ali over the years.
