I always hear stories about the dangers of buying from WIsh.com, Aliexpress, and recently Temu. I’ve jokingly called them “buyer beware” sites even. Yet people still use them, and there’s just as many positive results as negative. But I’ve also heard about unexplained card charges, data hacks, pyramid-scheme-like behavior, etc. So which of those sites, or other similar sites, is the “safest” if I DID wanna shop there?
I’ve had good luck with various items, largely from Aliexpress, I can’t really talk about which one could be the safest, so to speak.
Advice to keep an eye on: things are likely to be exactly what they describe it to be. And I do mean exactly. Say you get a AA battery charger, when you get one from your corner store, you’ll expect it to charge the batteries in a timely manner. From Ali, the charger might take 12+ hours to do its job or maybe overcharge it. Or it’ll work perfectly.
So, only get the ultra cheap stuff from these sites if you don’t really care about it.
