No but I bought a few shares of BABA... Talking to people (a person still in the biz) who know(s),  they have their act together for selling poop in China.

Up slightly after earning back the trading commision, so better than my gold position that is still down 13% (after a few years).

Haven't bought from them,  but did get some quotes.  For bigger items shipping costs were a lot which didn't make  it cost effective for what I needed.

I have, not from the US but from Europe. What amazes me is the very low cost of shipping. First time I bought plastic knows, something like $2 including shipping for 10 knobs, so I thought I did not take much chance, but it came all right (you want to be patient though). Since that I bought some bigger items, particularly universal battery chargers, and been very pleased with the quality and service.

o.k. what about aliexpress?

I'm Only asking because I know amazon is pretty painless not sure about these other two.
I purchase very often from Aliexpress, but some minor goods, nothing expensive. I have no bad experience there. BTW, I notice that prices went up in past few years ;)
