I don't get it. Aren't most brands these days made in China or south east Asia? (looking at you, fashion brands)

Now, I don't speak Chinese so I stick to AliExpress, but you don't typically find non-Chinese made products for sale there (at least in the realm of clothing or electronics)

I've been very impressed by AliExpress, and ordered over 50 different things in just the past year. My experience has been nothing but positive.

I've been filling my shopping cart for the past week, waiting for tomorrow's Singles' Day (aka 11.11 Shopping Festival).

On a side note, I think their Android app is top notch (far better than any shopping app I've used before).

I love alibaba/aliexpress, it's like "China: The Website". Great for cheap microcontrollers and what not.

Same here. I think I should get back to adding more stuff!

Alibaba also includes taobao and taobao mall which do sell foreign brands.

It's not just Aliexpress...

They are. And the highest, most expensive fashion brands are still made by underpaid Chinese workers in Italy or France, so they can stick a "Made in $country" logo on the final product.
