Oh boy, I love Aliexpress. I used to be one of those girls who thought, 'why would one ever own more than two bras?' After discovering this site, I have like, 8.
Ain't nothin' like that ol' chemical titty smell.

I also have received as presents a pair of those printed sweatshirts and you definitely gotta wear something underneath them, they're made basically of plastic. Other than that, they're basically what you see on the site.

If I had more money than sense, I would absolutely clothe myself in all this bullshit:

A good shirt for people exploiting the low cost of Chinese labour

I like popular art, too.

Different~

The famous slogan from the famous movie!

Is this what 'Waiting for Superman' was about

It's since been removed, but my favourite shirt was bright blue, with rainbow zebra print sleeves, that said 'COFFEE CUP.' in bold on the chest.

Finally, some beautiful poetry.

I use the same credit card I use for all my online purchases and I've never had an issue before. Didn't even occur to me to buy a prepaid visa.

I think I am about to get burned for the first time though. I bought a watch on singles day (11/11) and though the item arrived in my country in late November, it still hasn't shown up at my door. I suspect customs turned it away, so I opened a dispute, and the seller basically told me "it's in your country! Please be patient!". I may just let the transaction resolve because it was only $3 and I don't want to get doxxed by some Chinese warehouse guy.

I got a delivery!



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.

poo poo, I have a friend who would pay serious dollars for this if it was only on offer from some fancy designer. I think I'm going to just start buying things for friends 8 months before their birthdays in the hopes that presents for them will appear at my doorstep before then.

Back once again to showcase how much I'm killing it at fashion, this time with this T-Shirts Women Summer Fashion Japanese Harajuku Cute Soft Milk Box Print Loose Short Sleeve Girl T shirt Tops Camisetas.



I ordered the smallest size, and it's just a bit too big for me, but I don't think it's anything life ending. I do seem to be having the opposite experience of everyone else getting clothing that's too small, though! I don't understand the link between a carton of milk and 'ganbatte' so I hope it's not some kind of horrible innuendo.

The shirt does smell, but it smells like herbs rather than death gas so I don't mind it so much. It's also soft, not quite but almost like cotton.

(That phone case is from AliExpress too, but it was ordered before I really understood what this site was, I just came to find it was the only website with cases for the model of phone I have.)

lol the only time this will ever be uttered about Aliexpress sizing ITT.

To be completely fair, I looked at the measurements they provided on the page and knew beforehand that S would be a little too big, but they didn't have an XS, which is my usual Canadian size too. I wanted my good luck milk shirt.

and now I'm glad to know it was ripped off of some weeaboo bullshit store because wow some of that poo poo's creepy.

Why do some clothing items have depressing pictures of people hunched over sewing machines in a warehouse in the item description? Is there some cultural difference I don't understand, where this is supposed to inspire confidence in the seller??

So apparently AliExpress has some bootlegged board games that cost roughly half as much as the legit ones.

I love the strategy game.

I found this multilayer connect 4 but with catapults a few months and it's been in my wishlist since. Is there a legitimate counterpart to this game or is it just a unique Chinese innovation? It looks like a board game for insane people and if I had friends I would absolutely drop the $20 for it.

I've been reading the thread and I see what most likely is the same stuff for $20-30 on amazon. I assume the same item is super cheap on this website.

But I am super paranoid about getting my identity and/or card information stolen, and I read about those people that had to send bank statements, drivers licenses, and other super personal stuff that should NOT be shared with anyone.

Is this even worth it?

The sellers who request those documents are doing it outside of AliExpress's payment system, and are probably running a scam. Usual procedure on the site is basically the same as Amazon, except that you have to click button when your item arrives so that the seller can get paid. I've bought dozens of items off AliExpress and never once had an issue, other than items showing up after I'd already given up hope.

idk who this anime girl is but this sweater looks cute

I've honestly never had a problem ordering clothes from aliexpress, but I am also very small and don't have very high expectations with regards to their quality. The sweatshirts I've bought are usually plasticky, but the tshirts I've ordered have actually been a lot more comfortable than my usual store-bought ones. I probably wouldn't risk trying to buy pants off aliexpress, though if my legs weren't approximately 10cm long I'd be heavily considering those wide-leg pants Shinmera posted.

No link due to phone posting, but I am impressed to report that the born pretty colour changing nail polishes really do change colour with temperature, and quite dramatically - mine goes from pale lavender to dark purple immediately upon touching cold water. Excited to see how it reacts to the outdoors!

My incredibly dorky hobby is collecting Tamagotchi, so of course i jumped on the opportunity to buy a fake one off AliExpress. 99% of the fakes are the same ones that have been around since the 90s, but it looks like someone's made a fake of the modern models.
