Shopping with aliexpress

I realise that money is tight for a lot of people just now and we all need new ways to buy things cheaply. If anyone is concerned about buying things via aliexpress please don't be.  I have never had a problem. Things do often take a very long time to arrive but the quality has been absolutely fine. If you don't know who/what aliexpress is, it is kind of a Chinese version of ebay. You can buy pretty much anything with them. I bought my bamboo dpn's and they cost about three or four pounds for eleven sets... with free postage.   I also bought a set of different sizes of circular ones but had to smooth the join with a bit of fine grade sandpaper. I have had loads of cutting dies to use with my bigshot and some gorgeous scarves and gloves.  Have a look and see what you think. Be aware though that it might not get here before Christmas. Personally speaking, I wouldn't buy kids toys as I have no idea about the safety aspects of them but for pretty much everything else I wouldn't hesitate.

    1. I've been buying things off them for a few years. Always check that the postage is going to be free or very cheap though.

  2. I bought some Uggs slippers on EBay one time, and they arrived all the way from China. It did take quite a while. Glad you found what you needed.
