A bloke at work raves about how cheap it is and the stuff he's got so far has been spot on.

Yeah my Mrs' business have brought stock using them and have been very happy. Some sellers will want to sell you big numbers of things. The trick they've used for that is to say they need a few samples, the order will follow after the samples

Yeah Dave the fairings for my bike came off AliExpress. I was happy overall, didn't get ripped and everything went smoothly.
Ensure you pay through PayPal so you have some buyer protection though, AliExpress doesn't seem to have the same sort of protection that Ebay offers, such as moderation of vendor reviews/reputations.

I would probably give it a miss personally... too little buyer protection in that case. Reputable vendors on Ebay at least give a damn about their feedback score and Ebay themselves will stick up for you at times.

i bought a tyredog tyre pressure monitoring system through them
$135 V $399 for the real version in aus
works as it should
but as mentioned they are a bit like ebay sellers all selling through the one shop
meaning you are dealing with all different sellers
I paid using my 28 degrees master card
http://www.28degreescard.com.au/
this is the only card you should have if buying from OS
you get pretty much the same or better rate than
www.xe.com
free card , no fees
there is a feedback rating on there as well to take with a grain of salt
