The best items to buy on AliExpress are those ones originally made by Chinese. For you can get very good quality Xiaomi phones but the Samsung phones you buy there might be terrible. Be careful of their laptops too.

When buying check the number of orders, if it's low u can try other stores.

How to reduce your expenses on AliExpress: Use free shipping, coupons and Alipay wallet.
(I've bought two phones, a binoculars, headsets, Project materials: Raspberry Pi and some other components from AliExpress)

PS: I've been having processing error funding Alipay recently, I'm using GTBank. Please who has experienced this too and found a way around it. Thanks.

How do u knw the ones made in china?

And are their lang. In english especially phones?

Rule number #1: Don't buy popular brands. e.g Samsung, iPhones etc As they're mostly refurbish. Buy reputable Chinese brands only.

Most Chinese phones original made there in China are not common brands you've heard of. If it sounds strange to you, it's mostly like Chinese made. But If you are not sure, you can always google-search the phones.

Yes mostly of their phones are in English, some sellers even go ahead to include "International" versions of some phones.

From the phone's name, you will know which originated from China.

Brands like Xiaomi, Ulefone, Leagoo, THL, Meizu, Homtom, Oukitel, Doogee, ZTE, Huawei etc are all made in China...

All most all of them have English written OS.

I've been using the Ulefone Tiger for a month+ now, zero issues. For the price, the phone is dope. Infact wifey just hijacked the phone last week. I'm using hers now and planning to order another phone.

I advise anyone buying from Aliexpress to buy NEW items not refurbished or fake. Sony Xperia isn't the normal 'Chinko' phone we know. So buying Sony, Samsung, iPhone etc is either a fake or refurbished. You're on your own.

And I don't buy a device of more than $150. That's my spending limit. So if it turns out bad, I can bear it. But so far, I haven't had a bad experience with my aliexpress orders.

Imagine buying a 64gb flash drive below 4k!

I once bought a Sony Xperia Z1 from Ali Express. I used DHL coz I did not want to hear any story and I was eager to have it. I spent 62,000 in total while it was being sold for 80+ in Nigeria.
I did not enjoy the phone at all. It was hot, battery won't last. I had to spend 4,000 to replace the battery. They phone was heavy too and the camera with the whole 20.4mp ( that's why I was interested in the phone) was like using an old Nokia camera.
So I would really advise you don't buy gadgets from Ali Express. Although you would see great reviews but nah, it's not worth it. I've learnt my lesson.

it was refurbished, next time buy only Chinese brands... Especially xiaomi, oppo, homtom etc.

manlawal:

The first ever phone to have dual back camera 13mp +5mp and 8mp in front the battery is 3500mah . what i want to tell you is do not carry last you can search for topeos on aliexpress thats the store where i bought mine to arrive naija on friday https://www.aliexpress.com/store/2214152

Bro, please guide me on how to register and fund alipocket. Will I be charged at my banks Dollar rates?

download the Aliexpress.com app on your phone. Follow the menu and take it from there. If you are buying above 99 dollars then you need more than one card to fund your pocket because of the cbn restrictions.
I bought a quicktel U20 lastweek but can't pay for my dodgee phone until next month ir I use western Union. .

Download the aliexpress app anD sign up an account then we will take it up from there.

I've registering and meeting up with every equipments be sure that the phone you intend buying is not one of The Phones You Must Not Buy In 2017

Register with Aliexpress and read the reviews before you proceed. Reading the reviews is very important.
