I am considering dropshipping with them,
Any advice?
Any Chinese in the house?
Cheap as fuck, but will it last?

i feel like its a scam.... I'm not 100% sure but I've heard from a lot of people when they try to get stuff like this its fake shit or they don't get anything...but that just hears say. I've bought a few things of ali...99% shit quality stuff worse than the dollar store.

i never bought from Aliexpress since 2014 if i'm not wrong but before you dropship maybe look into buying the product and testing it yourself

That's exactly what I want to do but most sellers demand MOQ 10 pieces which in most cases sums 1000$?
I'm fearful Peharps

I've never bought from that. But those site are really tempting

I have bought non electronics from Ali express and got what I paid for

If they don't receive the item should open a dispute. And they will give their money back.
About quality... Depends how expensive the product is.. If is very cheap 99% will be garbage, but you can find some quality stuff on Ali too

Usually when I order electronics from Aliexpress I get the product but is not always as described. The only way to find out if it was worth it is to actually order some then if you like it order again some more.
You should also take into account the customs fee and shipping costs depending on the carrier.
There is also a tempting offer to pay zero shipping which in some cases the parcel gets "lost" in the transit. Because zero cost shipping has no tracking number some of the chineses suppliers explained me once that the shipping company guys might steal the parcel if they consider that it has some value. I guess if you don't pay at least the cheapest shipping you might get this surprise sometimes. It happened to me twice.

Aliexpress is better than wish but you can still get scammed. Make sure you know what you are getting like my last purchase was a BMS which I got because several users of another forum were recommending that specific chinese brand. I would stay away from consumer electronics in most cases unless its a huawei or other chinese designed product.

 

[HustleTong]

Crazy numbers. How can they profit from selling at such rates?

 

[CertificationsXpert]

You have mentioned 3rd world countries. So if you are considering drop shipping to countries like India make sure you consider all the custom regulations. In these countries the custom tax makes it impossible to generate any reasonable profit.

I recently bought displays for laptops. At the first seller they didn't work at the second everything was OK. The key is to find a good supplier. The positive, the return of the defective displays was free (paid by the supplier) and money was returned without any problem.

I have bought some things in Aliexpress and if you find the right products, the quality is decent.
About branded electronics... I have looked at some computers and iphones on ali, these prices are too good to be true. Don`t know the taxes for third countries, probably have to look at each individual country, but for me in Europe after VAT and customs it usually isn`t worth it. Usually it is cheaper to buy second hand. In my country the second hand market prices are pretty high compared to other EU countries, but still you can get a phone in good to mint condition (sometimes even with manufacturer warranty) for around the same price.
So as I already said these prices seems pretty sketchy. Don`t know about laptops, but the refurbished phones pretty often have low quality parts on them, so I would at least try ordering a few for yourself first.
Also on Ali it is harder to get refunds than for example eBay.
I hope this somewhat helps.

Do not buy electronics from AliExpress! Either they will be fakes or used and often not even work!

 

[Duffers5000]

Drop a few links to actual items you are planning on buying.

I buy lots of stuff of Aliexpress, never seen prices like that

You need to watch out when you see very cheap prices, i dont know how the customer protection works on aliexpress but saw lots of fake offers on alibaba and in some cases they have no protection
