yeah for USB stuff I'd really recommend spending a bit more and getting something from amazon that's a bit more of a known quanittiy. Anker stuff seems to be cheap and OK quality from my experience.

really wanna stress once more : Do not buy battery banks or anything that you plug expensive electronics into from Ali Express. Just spend a few bucks more for something well-reviewed off Amazon or whatever.

They can, and very well will, cause the crucial blue smoke ghost to be released from your electronics. Without Mr. Ghost, the device will not function!

This arrived today and it's hilarious and lovely quality. Quick-ish delivery to the UK.

Hey also the t-shirts that are hilarious are 100% polyester, meaning it's like wearing a lightweight rash vest or wetsuit around. They're also asian-sized, so they're probably quite tight on a hearty goon body.

Basically, get ready to sweat.

protip :

buy your partner a handful of non-poo poo small gifts on AE throughout the course of a week. you then have a bunch of stuff show up over the next few months and you look like you're thinking about them all the time.

I ordered this fidget cube on the 4th of February:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/In-stock-Fidget-Cube-Toys-for-Girl-Boys-Christmas-Gift-The-First-Batch-of-The-Sale/32776009537.html

It's just showed up now, in the UK. So about a short month's postage. Seems to be ok quality, fine for a piece of vinyl junk.

Much happier to £3 and wait a few weeks than pay $22usd and probably wait a few weeks.

Erm, so what's the sizing like buying clothes from AE?

XL is a fairly-slim western Medium. I got the Nic Cage t-shirt for my GF and when I tried it on my huge muscles and broad shoulders were packed in very tight despite my very low body fat and great skin.

Look kinda similar to the Anker sets I buy off of Amazon for around the same. Kinda prefer Amazon because they show up the next-day and accept refunds. YMMV.

What's the best/go-to Ali store for leggings?

Feb 10, 2009




if they're like the t-shirts, then they're basically just nylon shaped to fit a small body. they're more like a cheap rash vest than an item of regular clothing.

I hope I’m not being annoying posting random things; if so, I’ll knock it off.

That being said, anyone have/find intentional/unintentional shirts and hats that seem ultra American but actually aren’t?

This is funny (and I feel like you could make silly money selling these stateside) but I don’t think I could bring myself to wear it, regardless of irony.

Yeesh. Nothing that goes on the skin, nothing that plugs into the wall, nothing that touches food. Next rule for AliExpress: Nothing that is designed to go in the mouth of children.

nothing that goes inside anyone should come from Ali Express. they don’t do microplastics they do megaplastics.

i got this keyboard wrist rest and it looks simply incredible in person. I ordered the marble look and what came sort of looks like a slab of mother of pearl. It's got crazy depth to it. I really can't stop looking at it. I'm sure i'm getting wrist ebola or something but i don't mind.

E: how late is too late to order holiday gifts from Aliexpress for delivery to the USA?

I said ye olde times!

Ali takes about two weeks to Australia so I’d assume you’d be ok for USA Xmas as long as you aren’t ordering something insane.
