I’ve seen enough posts with people buying an item but receiving something like a light bulb instead, and want to give a PSA for everyone here. I hope you take the time to read it. This (or a version of it) should be stickied, mods.

Everyone should always check:

• Number of reviews
• Number of purchases
• Rating score (this can be very telling)
• Content of reviews (if review description or pictures isn’t for what you’re buying, don’t buy it!)
• Price (too good to be true probably IS too good to be true in most cases, unless there is a legit sale going on)
• Storefront/shop age and their other products as well as their reviews and number of purchases

This applies to ANY app, not just AliExpress (E.g. Amazon, Ebay, Temu…)
