    Shipping speed for me, Aliexpress is 11 days or less, Amazon Prime 2 days or less. I think its funny they’ve copied Fedex with their main routes being in-house and their last-mile being “independent” contractors (Fedex Ground / Amazon Flex), and now Fedex will copy them with their upcoming FDX platform, which I believe is supposed to be an upgrade to shoprunner that will continue to sell from other Vendors but more like how amazon and walmart do it, where its a footnote on the item details.

      Yep.

      If I can wait = AliExpress.

      If I can’t wait=Amazon next day, then return when the AliExpress one arrives.

          It feels more iffy than AliExpress. I got a series of items from Remy that were technically the description but at the lowest quality possible to qualify. AliExpress refund system has been solid for me.

          Butting in: Temu has been aggressively pursuing a market share, once it has reached a large audience the deals will be less good. It also enables various varieties of affiliate marketing which get a little scammy (you’ve probably had a Facebook friend or random TikTok aggressively push Temu) and the app harvests a shit ton of data from you.

          AliExpress has been fairly consistent for years. AliBaba is what a lot of merchants in the US use to purchase and resell goods, AliExpress just feels like taking out a middleman.

          Ultimately, it’s best to comparison shop. Amazon, Temu, Ali will all often have the same item up, just find the one that’s cheapest.

      Depends who you buy from. I’ve had shipping take 2-3 weeks on some items since the sellers are just the same Chinese companies as Ali.
