Aliexpress is China's eBay. The bad news is there is a bit of a problem with credit card fraud sometimes with their vendors. It is safest to pick up a visa re-fill card and load enough money on it to make your purchase when dealing with some aliexpress vendors.
Their prices are generally more attractive than eBay.. but all the stuff ships out of China, which can have a few days more transport time (in the past).
I have had a lot shipped from across the USA, China and India lately. Strangely, the postal service seems to get stuff handled from China faster than the opposite coast in the USA. It smells VERY intentional on the part of the Postal Service. But then, they are trying to convince the Government they need more money, and it is likely a game they are playing to convince the Government they are "overwhelmed" with all the Covid conditions. If this were strictly true, then shipments from other nations would be just as delayed as packages coming from elsewhere in the USA. Someone appears to have their thumbs on the scale.
