I won one of their spin the wheel things and got 3 items of my choosing for $0.01 a piece. The list of items to choose from includes like, $100+ LiFePO batteries, inverters, shit like that, all for $0.01.
I know that it’s a myth that Chinese products are shit quality: $0.03 (plus shipping I’m assuming) for potentially a couple hundred dollars’ worth of stuff just isn’t believable to me.
Yeah I definitely don’t want to buy a poorly-made lithium battery. That could lead to death. Very painful death.
Aliexpress is a marginally better storefront where you’ll find good deals (not 3 cents for 300 dollars’ worth kind of deals, but still). You just have to surf through a lot of bad postings from sellers with no reputation.
Just watch out, sometimes you’ll just get the same thing that’s on temu, just more expensive.
