How we pick
Everything listed on this site came out of the AliExpress catalogue, which contains roughly a hundred million listings. Most of them should not be bought by anyone. These are the checks a listing has to clear before it appears here.
Units sold
at least 300
The strongest signal a listing is real. A product nobody has bought is a product nobody has checked.
Buyer rating
94% or higher
Listings with no feedback at all are excluded too — an absent record is not the same as a clean one.
Photographs
3 or more
Single-photo listings are usually resells of someone else’s stock image.
Price
$3–$200
Below the floor, shipping dominates and returns are not worth pursuing. Above the ceiling, buying unbranded from an unknown seller is a poor bet.
Title
under 160 characters
Long titles are keyword stuffing. We also reject titles that repeat the same word three times or more.
What we also throw out
Listings that advertise themselves as copies of a named brand. Anything ingested or applied to skin, where an unverifiable supply chain is a real risk rather than a theoretical one. Restricted goods. Clothing and shoes, because sizing makes the return rate unacceptable.
What this does not tell you
We have not handled these products. There is no testing here and no hands-on review — a site that claimed otherwise about a marketplace this size would be lying. What we check is the record: how many people bought it, what they said afterwards, how long the seller has been trading, and whether the listing was written for a person or for a search engine.
That record is a filter, not a guarantee. It removes the listings that are obviously not worth your money. Judging the rest is still yours to do.
