Ordering from AliExpress (during pandemic) dope or nope?

[VirusDumb]

As everyone alive now, knows about the current epidemic kungflu(can't say the real name tho),due to which PC parts production & shipping has become slow, (DAMN BATMAN), and I have decided to finally buy a PC (DAMN MY LIFE), so I am looking parts in my local(Indian) stores and online sellers like mdcomputers.in and etc, but I also checked AliExpress and they were cheaper (8gb variant of rx 570 cost less than 4gb variant), but it's kinda risky, soOoOo is ordering from AliExpress during Kung flu dope or nope?

Sure, you get a free trip to the ICU with each order!

Sarcasm, I hope.

For  the "human malware" there is no issue... Worst case it remains active for about a day on cardboard. So unless you have some kind of ultra fast ordering you are safe. If the delivery person isn't coughing his lungs out of course...

As far as buying on ALI express: same rule as always. if it is too good to be true it usually is.

Depends on a lot of things - but no, not really sarcasm

A lot have asked questions like this but the answer is definitive: by the time it arrives, virus will be dead.

But if you want to be sure just handle the package with gloves or quarantine it for a week or two

It's a pandemic.

Also, this is the LTT forum, not YT monetization.

 

You can read about, or discuss the Covid-19 pandemic here ;

I rarely ever come to the forums & even less do I answer to topics, but this caught my eye so bad.

 

How is it that you made the choice to use the term "Kung-flu" and not anything else like everyone else?

Spoiler

human malware is pretty cool imo

 

While not having to say the real name is no problem, using the term "Kung flu" seems to be extremely racist & discriminating and it's a shame to see this kind of language on this forum.

Ordered some stuff from aliexpress in february. Shipped in 2 weeks, still not delivered. Also keep in mind that sellers have the right to deliver items within 2 months, the delivery date below the listing isnt that accurate.

If you want a complete build, give some info about the price and use of the pc.

Your worst part will be the last day when you get them from drop point/post office or delivery. Like said (and there's scientific evidence) that virus doesn't survive on cardboard more than day or two. So if package is contaminated during loading or packaging, its long dead before arriving to you.
