Is it worth it?

[ChadB]

Hi guys,

I'm looking at purchasing some stuff from Aliaba and would like to know if any of you have past experiences with them? I know that quite a few sellers on there are "fake" but from a reliable source is it worth it? How was the shipping time?

Thanks in advance,
Chad

Alibaba can be hit or miss and their delivery tends to be post or ems, neither is the best.

You have the option of Instant messaging the owner or the seller of the product. You can ask them if it is authentic or a clone and most likely they will answer you honestly.
I have bought from Alibaba a few times and all 3 i have received what i have asked for.
Only thing that sucks is the waiting period. Usually takes about 15-17 days to be shipped to SA and from there the waiting games begin because of SAPO. Estimated wait period is 1.5 - 2 months for your product.
By that time there is an upgrade of the device you are looking for lol

Doesn't Alibabba only sell in bulk? Does one have to be a vendor?

@kev mac From what i've read online, you don't have to be a vendor but have patience

You have to be a verified vendor to use some of the features, but if you find a seller that does 1pc or small orders you can still buy from them.

www.aliexpress.com is mostly aimed at consumers and they have good buyer protection.
Some suppliers guarantee delivery within 30 or 60 days or you get a full refund.

Aliexpress is more expensive though, closer to retail.

Ordered plenty off aliexpress and goods have always arrived. Be patient though unless you pay extra for shipping
