Heh. Aliexpress. You put a credit card number into a chinese web site selling (who knows what clone of what.) How's that working out?

I purchased from AliExpress before I officially started my business. It was a bit sketchy at first, not knowing what I was doing. I made sure to make contact with the sellers (with the highest feedback rating) before I purchased to feel them out. I had a few successful purchases, but in the end it ended up not being worth it. Wait times became ridiculous. I ordered 4 of the same exact model cameras from one seller. They shipped me 3 of that model, and 1 of a "newer" model. It looked very different. Took about a month of arguing back and forth during the "dispute" process. I forced them to pay to have it shipped back (cost over half the price of the camera) and refund the full price of the camera. I made sure that refund was back in my account before it ever left the post office. That was the last purchase I made and decided at that point to never buy from AliExpress again.
