I always hear stories about the dangers of buying from WIsh.com, Aliexpress, and recently Temu. I’ve jokingly called them “buyer beware” sites even. Yet people still use them, and there’s just as many positive results as negative. But I’ve also heard about unexplained card charges, data hacks, pyramid-scheme-like behavior, etc. So which of those sites, or other similar sites, is the “safest” if I DID wanna shop there?
I bought a computer motherboard off aliexpress. it cost about 1/3 the retail price, arrived with no documentation, install cds, whatever. there was minor damage to the board itself, probably a piece damaged during manufacture and deemed unfit for sale.
this was back in 2017 or something. I’ve yet to replace it, though it might be getting close to time. I was able to get the software it needed off the net with another computer, and with that it worked just fine.
