Has anyone ever ordered from Alibaba? The prices look good but I am very leery of ordering from the site.

I've ordered from Aliexpress, which appears to be a sister site. Obviously took a while to arrive but otherwise a smooth transaction. I think it's like eBay, your experience depends on quality of the individual seller.

It's a Chinese site. The prices are good but service is slow. Quality is typical Chinese. Shipping may be free but if you need to return something you may not be happily surprised what it costs to return a product. I won't shop there again.

Caution:
Of recent I've seen popular items listed with super low prices.
They often have a number of photos and include that small replacement part but the listing does not match the price.
Kind of a modern 'bait and switch'. i

When U check carefully often the low price is for a small spare part and not the whole item as posted.

Latest I noted was a popular short wave radio at a very low $.
The low $ item was for a replacement antenna!
