Seems like it. Looks like almost everything is just Chinese knockoffs.

Chinese knockoffs are awesome though. Well, sometimes they are :P As long as I'll actually receive the product to try it then I might buy some stuff from there.

Yeah, I don't see any brand names mentioned any where. lol

But knockoff products are usually very low build quality, and most of the time they are defective when you first get it, or breaks soon after it arrives. You can't really trust knockoff products, especially when it comes to PC hardware and other Tech.

Looks as legit as you can get with a chinese wholesaler.  Based on the name, it looks like it could be a subsidiarity of alibaba, which is a decent wholesaler.  Just don't expect any high quality products from them.

According to Scam Advisor it's a highly trusted site. See for yourself (http://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/www.aliexpress.com).

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shiping-16GB-32GB-64GB-128GB-Usb-Flash-Drives-With-Original-Package-H3/1452105134.html That direct kingston ripoff. If you want your flash drive to last about a week, go for it.

Maybe I've just been lucky in the past, but a lot of the Chinese knockoffs I've bought have worked pretty well in the past. Didn't really compare to the real thing, but for the price I couldn't complain.

Personally though, I wouldn't buy anything from there. One person mentioned that he bought a 128GB Flash Drive that was only 8GB. He did get a 75% refund, but still! I wouldn't be buying a single product from that site at all if you can't really trust what you're actually getting.

Or I've had bad experiences in the past xD It's just one those things that you can't really be sure what you're getting and if you do get the wrong thing, there isn't any sort of protection like there would be in a place like NA, UK, EU or whatever.

I bought a fake rolex from Chinatown in New York and I couldn't be happier with what it's given me. Sure, it isn't motion perpetual or anything fancy, hell, I could probably build a better digital one myself, but for $20 and bragging rights, you can't go wrong.

 

On topic, if you ever want to see if something is credible or not, use this website as a resource. :)

Thanks for mentioning "Alibaba" I have never heard of them before, Been looking for some things in bulk for ages and that site has the things I need.

I do tend to limit myself when buying knock offs. I never buy expensive things just in case things go tits up.

Thanks for the heads up. I never really thought about that. I usually buy this sort of stuff from eBay, so my security isn't usually something I ever worried about.

Ya well my uncle experienced credit card theft and i knew it was a trending thing, another flaw in society.... So ya Paypal is a lot more secure compared to just putting your Credit info in there..

If you look on the bottom of the website it says

1999-2014 Alibaba.com Hong Kong Limited and licensors. All rights reserved.

It is owned by the AliBaba Group, and there is a link to the actual wholesale company name on the bottom of the page too.

So yeah... They also have a full refund and full buyer protection service, if that isn't enough.

Just be careful with what you're buying,if you look at the videocard section you can clearly see that they try to sell what they call a GTX 780 or GTX 660 ti, but what are actually knockoffs.

The site's owned by Alibaba, so I think it's safe to say that it's legit. Damn those are some good prices though. Definitely bookmarking.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/I7-4770-host-gtx760-graphics-card-8g-z87-motherboard-desktop-computer-quad-core-host/1656078709.html This makes me wish i could read whats in the pictures. It might be worth trying it because the have buyer protection. A good amount of stuff on that site looks like a scam though.
