dhgate.com is a similar site to Aliexpress and I've ordered stuff before without issue. Most stuff ships to Australia within a few weeks which seems better than the several months you guys have to wait.

If you are a lady who likes pretty things you can also try BornPretty, which is pretty much just a frontend for AliExpress stuff but the shop interface and more limited inventory makes it easier to find what you want. You can get nail art supplies real cheap (striping tape, cleaning brushes, rhinestones, etc) as well as some awesome hair stuff and weird accessories like those bean sprout clips. Don't trust their single day turnaround but every time I've ordered from them it's come in 2 weeks or less (but ymmv)
I got these last time (as well as a bunch of other crap) and I have not died of cadmium poisoning yet

I can vouch for BornPretty. Their mirror chrome nail polish is dope. Recently ordered a bunch of holographic foil because it was on sale for something stupid like 99c for 15 sheets so I'm looking forward to that turning up soon.

Oh hey I love AliExpress, Im currently in the middle of the shotgun like delivery spread of my last order. I did get this charming message a few days ago -



Yes I bought an LED RGB Lightbulb with built in Bluetooth speaker after seeing one at my friends place and it is rad as gently caress.




Im also guessing this is where an ex-colleague of mine got the supplies to do this to his car



Were they individual stickers? Because you can buy rolls of contact paper that is printed to look like a bunch of stickers to cover large areas like that.

Today I received my first AliExpress item since this thread started:



I'd been looking for a new clutch to take to gigs / clubs for a while but couldn't find anything I liked until AliExpress came to my rescue. It seems fairly solid and well made and they even threw in a gaudy gold ring with a big fake diamond as a freebie.

I bought these lights from AliExpress a year or two ago and use them when I have photo shoots to do. They came with a bag for the backdrop and stands and have worked without fault ever since. Not bad for $100.

Out of curiosity, has anyone ordered any nail polish that they'd recommend off Ali, preferably duochrome/"galaxy" or any sort of funky coloring you wouldn't see in a normal paint jar?

I had this thought because I'm currently thinning some nice polishes for crazy space color schemes for some models. Preferably they'd be lacquer based instead of lead or cancer-based (in any case I'm thinning with solvents capable of eating skin, so I guess it doesn't really matter beyond X-Y number of hours/days the room will need to be quarantined afterwards).

Bornpretty.com is your best source for that sort of stuff. Everything I've bought from them has been good quality and looks great.

Are these knockoff Lego sets like, any good? Do they actually fit together well and mate with real Lego bricks? Or are they gonna be all cheap and weak and terrible?

There's been discussion in the Lego thread recently and the consensus seems to be the Lepin brand is good enough for display models but nobody knows how well they will age. Most sets people have ordered have come with the correct pieces but some have also been missing a few bits. They also come in a single giant bag instead of parted out into segments like proper Lego sets so if you order a big modular or something it can be daunting to start the building process.

I don't have a Gameboy so I can't play it but the cartridge itself is solid and seems like a 'real' cart. The case is kind of grainy, almost feels like it's been 3d printed?

It's my Alisister Europe America Youth Fashion 3D Ramen Noodle Printed Hooded Sweatshirts Couples Harajuku Assassins Zipper Hoodies!!

I was disappointed at first to see it says 'Rannnen Noodldle Soup Chiccken', but on reconsideration, I see the beauty in the wrong English. It's only one layer thick so it's a little thin but the inside is actually a cheap fleece I think! A lot softer than the other aliexpress shirts I have. Outside is still weird and smooth though. Also, no smell! I was impressed.

Excuse the lovely snapchat screenshot because I'm a dumbass millennial, but I'm normally an XS and they only had (Asian!) small so the hoodie is more like a dress on me. It's a good look.

In Winter my house gets pretty damp (it's old and draughty) so I buy these tubs of calcium chloride to put in the cupboards and closets to absorb some of the moisture in the air. They tend to fill up pretty quickly and need to be refilled monthly. If I buy a metric ton of calcium chloride from Ali Baba, what's the likelihood of it actually being calcium chloride? Also, where do you store a metric ton of calcium chloride when you're not using it? I guess I'll have to find someone on Ali Baba to sell me some steel drums or something.

I bought some leggings a few weeks ago from this store and they arrived today. They're super comfortable and the patterns look good. Hopefully they don't fall apart when I wash them. There's a sizing chart on the listings but I got the 4xl and they comfortably fit my goonish figure. I would definitely recommend for anyone that wants trendy printed leggings without spending big bucks on them.
