what kind of stuff you buy from AliExpress?

[articland05]

why AliExpress and not Shopee, Taobao etc?
Aliexpress seems to have a cult following... got some youtubers even showcase the strange things they bought frm AliExpress that cannot be buy frm anywhere else.

I realise the following demographics tend to buy from Alixrpess

Based on the comments they leave on product page:

Russia
Tajikistan
Uzbekistan
Romania
Poland
Czech rep
Etc etc

Maybe because they see it as the English version of Taobao (which is not true).

The real ang mohs have their own e-commerce like amazon etc

Yes it is. Probably because they cater for international market, the entire system is to provide ease and accessibility for non Chinese users
