Yeah, I recently ordered something on AliExpress and noticed that I felt less suspicious about their listings than I usually feel when I browse Amazon.

Same. I just go straight to AliExpress now and know what I'm going to get.

Although watch out for extreme markups. Some of the junk you buy a lot of, you can get for a min wholesale price straight on Ali regular.

I bought 6 pairs of ear buds from Ali express. 2 of them aren't great, cheap sound, bad charge, etc. The other 4 are nice, not quite as good as my wife's airpods, but I can't really tell without doing a side by side. A few are airpod design knock off, one set are loop buds, the other are nicer gel plugs. All of that cost me $38 shipped, and there is no rhyme or reason to the pricing. The best pair was $7, the worst $8, there is a $3 pair I really like and keep as a backup at work. I look at any of those on Amazon and the cheapest is $30 LOL.
