Ordering from Alibaba

[abudabi]

Anyone care to share their experience? Is it the same as ordering from AliExpress?

An imported Alu sim rig seems about half the price of local (or even from ALiExpress) so what's the catch ? Yes I know import and VAT still needs to be added but look at the below comparison between the 2 Ali sites.

This is going to be the catch.

Didn't order. Not willing to take that gamble if no one has any comments. Not in a great rush so it helps.

Not the same. You engage directly with the seller as opposed to a retail marketplace type experience

good idea, also judging by the size and weight I think customs might of nailed you there.
