  • How shady/ dangerous is AliExpress?
    I know it's (all?) snides, but will my credit card be stolen I'd I buy something from there?

  • Mine hasn't and I must have bought over 30 items in the last few years.

  • Depends what you’re buying. Certain products are available cheaper, but you also get what you pay for, so if something is unreasonably cheap I wouldn’t expect too much.

    I’ve just ordered my new coffee grinder from there. I’ll let you know when it arrives. Saved about £20, shipping is obviously slower than from somewhere UK based. I also have little comeback if it breaks. I figured it was worth the gamble and slightly longer wait for the 30% savings (which seemed reasonable considering it’s a Chinese product made in China).

    Not necessarily, I searched everywhere for a tap and die in an obsolete pre ISO French metric size.
    Found it on AliExpress delivered for about £17, came from Taiwan, quality is excellent.
