Usually, just as a rule of thumb, you can pick up stuff there for about 20-40 % less than on Amazon or Ebay or other online reseller’s.
They setbacks are
Recently I had ordered a bunch of different drone camera mounts for my Mavic 2 zoom and my Mini 3 Pro.
If of these mounts I bought arrived here missing a vital part (damper section of camera mount). I contacted the seller via Aliexpress messaging, and since then it clearly feels like he’s trying to get me hopping through hoop’s ever since.
Besider such issue’s you can also run into communication problem’s, that surely arises because of translation issue’s on the seller side and another language barrier issue are surely incomplete or straight wrong item/product description’s and owner’s manuals and so on. Depending on the product you want to purchase this is actually a non-issue for low tech stuff but the more complex the stuff is you’re hunting for these low quality descriptions and manual’s can be a bug issue.
To cut through the chase, if you have time to wait for product you want to order and you’re fune with the language issues you might be just fine with such complications if you can save a few bucks by ordering there.
