so you stumbled across the Aliexpress website and you're not sure whether it's
a legitimate website to shop for in today's video I'll be talking about the
Aliexpress website and tell you whether it is a scam or not so stay tuned
hi everyone instead us here on this channel I do drone and product reviews
so if you're new here consider subscribing oh by the way at any point
during this video to check out my notes and links down the YouTube description
below I'll list them everything about the AL Express website and anything else
that I forget I've been buying stuff from the Aliexpress website for about
maybe about four and a half years now but some of my mobile phone accessories
there cases there through the years you know like this one's this one camera
gears their drone accessories such as the remote control booster some ND
filters and so my reviews related towards those type of consumer goods
hopefully after the end of the video you'll get a good understanding of the
Aliexpress website and whether it is safe and legitimate website to buy items
al Express is owned by one of the richest man alive Jack man who owns
Alibaba if you don't know what Alibaba is do check it out basically it's a
Chinese based company who wholesales a lot of products all over the world so
they set up Aliexpress kind of similar to eBay it's like a Chinese eBay al
Express is kind of like gateway for US consumers to buy small quantity of items
as opposed to going through the Alibaba website where you buy wholesale when I
say wholesale you know 500 1000 pieces of items to put it in perspective
Alibaba is sort of b2b whilst Aliexpress is B to C again it's like eBay but
prices are crazy they're really trade plenty of items to choose from there's
even a DJ or a store in there the way I see it it's a good alternative site to
buy stuff especially if you're not in a rush
you know just remember all of these items are sort of made in China the
shipping can take some time depending on which seller you're buying you know
about some software arrives here within two weeks some stuff can take maybe six
weeks if you're planning properly for example this is just an example you want
to buy the vinyl or the iPhone X and it's out of stock at the moment
if you're buying it you're gonna wait say for six weeks before it arrives now
you purchase your iPhone 10 you go to the Aliexpress website you look for an
iPhone 10 case and buy it from there shipping can take maybe two three weeks
by the time the case arrives hopefully your iPhone pencils over I only buy
stuff where I know I don't really need it right now
let's say if I need an ND filter for example I don't have the drone yet I
know I'm gonna buy for a new drone or I'll buy the ND filters there now and
then five weeks later it'll arrive and hopefully by then I would have bought my
drone at the shops skin or something like that it's just a matter of planning
TIMSS arrives our package really well again depending on the seller where
you're buying never really had any issues with customs always arrives into
the post office like in any online shopping do check out the sellers rating
for example if you're buying a SmartWatch hey now you look at the list
accelerating whether the you know it ranges from one star five star in this
example it's 4.9 stars there's 52 votes votes 52 votes and also one thing you
need to check is the order number now there's been 314 orders in here so you
know that everyone's been buying that item and the review seems to stack up
then I would say that seller is legit you check the seller ratings the number
of orders and read some reviews to make sure that you're comfortable and what
you're buying bias protection I never really had to use them again
keep it there only bought smaller items I never bought anything more than 100
strong dollars in conclusion is it legit yes
is it safe yes why would you want to buy from Aliexpress to go the alternative to
eBay good elephant for Amazon Australia and any other online sort of websites
that we have here they do have some awesome sales like Black Friday Cyber
Monday you know you name it they have different sales all year round question
of the day if you bought some stuff like Aliexpress what's your experience like
but if you had a good experience have you had a bad experience whether they
lost the item they didn't replace it do comment down below we'd love to hear
from you so yeah there you have it I hope you learned a little bit something
today I hope you a little bit more about the Aliexpress
