other side of the world
« on: February 22, 2017, 07:31:59 am »
I used to buy from aliexpress when I could get cashback from the purchase.
They are located in China.
There are times when you might want something real special and would buy it from another country.
There are Life magazine collectors who sell their collection on ebay.

I use the app Wish as well, they have so many products at a super low price! It takes weeks and weeks to arrive though  :present:

I used to love ordering from the other side of the world and was amazed at how inexpensive things would be even if the quality was not quite as good. Take Ray Ban sunglasses for example. I received a pair as a bonus from my day time job and loved them but couldn't justify paying one hundred and sixty dollars for them. I ordered a pair online for twenty dollars and they looked exactly the same but the lenses were not the same caliber/quality as my original pair. Lesson learned. Another lesson learned is that China does not have laws, regulations or bad thoughts about their citizens creating counterfeits or replicas but the United States does not take it lightly due to the trademark process involved. I would be careful when buying items that are trademarked in the US and priced considerably less in China.

I don't have a problem with buying things from China.  A lot of things that we use every day comes from China.  I bought my daughter's wedding dress on ebay and it came from China and it was absolutely beautiful.

I really like Aliexpress. I don't believe I have ever actually bought anything from them but I plan on buying clothing from there sometime.
