General AliExpress shopping rules:

  • Always prioritize local stores over AliExpress, if the price is comparable.
  • Avoid all stores with less than 90% positive feedback.
  • Be extra careful with all stores with less than 95% positive feedback.
  • Record unboxing video for every package and take high resolution photos of the product.
  • Do not trust my (or anyone else’s) recommendations, always read product and store reviews, and check product pictures and descriptions.
  • AliExpress sellers may change the price, the description, the pictures, and the product itself after a link was created.
  • It is impossible to guarantee positive shopping experience on AliExpress.
  • Even if a store has 97% positive feedback and the product has 5 stars, you still may end up losing your money.
