There are some metal ones available too for only a couple more dollars, like this one. You miss out on the "authentic" hand made experience though.

I've bought a few things with varying success off of Aliexpress. Lots of knockoff baseball and hockey jerseys for my brother.

Myself. I got those rock pillow posted like 200 pages ago. They are pretty awesome if not smaller than I expected. Were also cheaper then.


http://s.aliexpress.com/mqeimIre

I got all 3 of these from the same seller. The big one in the center judges me for my purchases. I just found out Pachimari has a squeeker.



Different seller, but I got these mini flashlights and they are god drat awesome. Mine actually say Cree on em though so better knock off?

Hi I impulse-searched "weird stuff" on the Wish app and am sharing the results.





NSFW, boob-shaped soap dispenser for the shower


I love how someone got the original chicken leg socks and decided to take pictures of them on random things, and someone with a loom (or whatever the gently caress you mass produce socks on) took it and went to demure sexy schoolgirl town with it.

At first glance I thought that was a bidet. Then I got curious and was kind of disappointed to find out that bidets on AliExpress are almost the same price as on Amazon.

Re: postcards from AliExpress, I bought a pack of the wartime posters and cartoon characters and the quality's kinda meh. Glossy on both sides with image artifacting. Plus the wartime poster is about half "keep calm and carry on" images in various colors. PostcardFair on Amazon has better ones.

Printed materials are a total crapshoot. During the anniversary sale I bought some WWII propaganda prints from a couple of different sellers. Some of them did perfect work, a couple of them looked like they used a pirated copy of Photoshop to blow up a .jpg the size of a postage stamp to 11x17.

I bought that exact pack not too long ago, solely because I got a $1 off coupon for it. The stickers tended to be a bit smaller than in some of the other packs I've bought. The 'Cherub with an RPG" that was in it now has a place of honor on my toolbox.

In other news, my coworkers are becoming increasingly leery of being seen anywhere in the vicinity of my toolbox. Weird stickers from China are proving more effective at securing my tools than the actual lock!

I went for one of these sets not too long ago and got some good designs. Looks like a better deal if you're just looking for quantity. The coupons & deals section on the app often has $1 off coupons for that store too.

Yes, I really am that cheap. I try to minimize the cost of my cheap Chinese stickers. I do have my limits though. This set looked like a hell of a deal w/ a $1 off coupon. Turned out to have a lot of kiddie type stickers. There are at least 2 dozen Peppa Pig stickers on my toolbox now. Fortunately most of them ended up in the base layer.

*Edit: To clarify, that 300 pack I linked is only a better deal w/ 1 coupon per pack. Yes, i have put out multiple orders for the same item so I can use more than one coupon. I space them out a couple weeks so as not to be a total dick though.

What's even more surprising is when I recognize something from AE and it's actually cheaper in the store.

I had my first scammer attempt. A "seller" messaged me to let me know that they were still awaiting payment for an order. I thought that was strange, because I paid upfront on AliPay like always.

Basically, they found an order that I had made, attempted to make a duplicate of it (very poorly, since they had different order ID numbers and the supposed sale from the scammer was in Cyrillic characters). They tried to charge me 248 rubles, hoping I would just hit the Pay Now button. Instead I reported them, but the scammer probably got little more than a reminder of the rules. Anyway, this is apparently a thing that happens so be aware.

Maybe but buying one thing on AliExpress is going to be a lot more expensive than the same thing in bulk on AliBaba
