This. I wanted to buy an escooter, but couldn't find any that were sold on legitimate sites? (Is Aliexpress legit? It feels off to me.)

Aliexpress is a marketplace for (primarily Indian or Chinese) slave labor to manufacture dirt cheap products devoid of quality or safety standards.

Shopping for some cheap decor or a knockoff puffer jacket? You're probably good. Need something electronic and/or has a lithium ion battery? Buddy, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Cough up some more dough and you'll be happy you did.

Ali’s press is legit but it’s all Chineseium knockoffs.
