I’ve got a Dell G3 3579 that’s in a dire need of a battery and a bottom panel replacement. I’ve thought of buying them off aliexpress, but I’m a bit skeptical of it… So ig my question is whether it’s OK to buy stuff like replacement laptop batteries off aliexpress.

E: I’ve checked, amazon does not ship to my country… I’m also technically asking if anyone knows any trusted good replacement battery manufacturers that I should look for…

    I’m in Bulgaria and believe me, this was my honest reaction when I found out none of these companies ship here

      I would order from eBay. It can be scary because each seller is separate and you have to check their ratings…but the system nowadays is very good. eBay has swung all of their policies to where they highly favor the buyer in disputes if there is an issue…to the point that buyers can easily abuse it. I was a seller and experienced this. If you file a dispute saying I didn’t receive my item or it wasn’t as described, they literally freeze the money in the sellers sellers account immediately until it’s resolved and the buyer has you by the balls.

      You can search and see only items that ship to your country. I would imagine you find a lot that do ship to you. They make it easy because sellers can enroll in a program where you ship it to a certain address in sellers country and it gets forwarded to any country at buyers expense.

      Just check the sellers ratings and read item descriptions, check return policy
