I used to shop exclusively on Banggood. At the time AliExpress was sketchy.

A few years ago they flip flopped. Now Banggood is hot garbage, and AliExpress isn't bad.

Gearbest, Temu, and Wish were always bad in my experience.

Temu is weird. They really are willing to sell stuff at a lost to garner market share and I'm sure there are some legitimately astounding deals if done right but also I'm just as likely to spend several days hunting and planning it out how to do so and still get shit on by a scam product anyways... so I avoid it but I know I'm losing out a chance to get a mini win.
