- [R6] AliExpress Shopping: Everything from irrigation systems to micro pads for iPad. AliExpress has the best shops. Top notch products from verifiable suppliers who have excellent communication skills with the customer and professional services. Their deliveries are rapid faster than any other e-shopping site. Truly a 21st century online service.
- [R48] AliExpress Deals and Sales Galore: I personally enjoy the app with all its fun little games and incentives to earn ways to get further discounts on top of the already highly discounted products from various vendors and official stores.
- [R71] Wish Great Products & Great Prices: I love shopping on Wish because they offer unique , high-quality items that make life easier and more enjoyable.
- [R63] Wish Prices: Used to love Wish. I bought a 6 pack of underwear in the past for $35. Now if I want to reorder that same 6 pack it’s $149. Everything has turned so expensive. I may as well get the items from Amazon
- [R15] AliExpress Annoying: Its a good app but when they do the sales the option is to buy now instead of being able go select multiple choice items to get free shipping and i have to buy all my item separately now 😡😡

- [R13] AliExpress Very poor customer service: It is impossible to return faulty goods.They say you can return up to 5 items a month free, but when I tried to return two faulty items I was only allowed to select that I was returning them because I didn’t want them and would have to pay the return postage to china “Self-return “As your return request is due to personal change of mind (e.g., no longer needed, unmet ex
- [R61] Wish Poor products and refused to refund: I bought a laptop case from Wish. The plastic smell is so horrible that even after airing it for a week, the smell is still there. I told customer service about it and requested to refund and I will return the product. They refused saying the product already “fulfilled the requirements”. I insisted and they sound said they will partially refund it as courtesy.

- [R8] AliExpress My go to: I do a lot of purchasing from these guys. Yeah we know where it comes from but I can’t beat the buys. Have definitely received some quality products for a fraction of the price.
