Any question answered...

AliExpress is good stuff. I've ordered plenty of stuff there, never any complaints. Most recent purchases were plastic lip balm tubes, tin lip balm cans and small plastic cosmetics containers. Good quality stuff and very well packed (obviously this doesn't vouch for all sellers though) and if you look for sellers which do free shipping by air mail you get your stuff long before the 60 days they get. Usually 1-1.5 weeks here in the EU, so probably similar in the UK.

Many sellers lie on the form on which they have to fill in the contents of the package to make it seem much less than it actually is, which can save you import costs, but probably also fucks up any insurance you might have.
