My bad shopping experience: Aliexpress review

Around two months ago I made an order on the site Aliexpress, which is a market where several sellers can sell their products. Long story short: I ordered 4 items and they're all a disappointment. If you want the long version stick around because you're about to get it.

First I ordered this beautiful piece of lingerie and it's just as sexy in person as it is in the pictures. The problem is that from the measurements described on the website the lingerie should fit me but it is far from fitting me which makes me think the measurements on the website are a lie. I'm very disappointed that sellers would do something like that just to make it sell more. Update: I checked the item again on the website, now besides the XXL they also added bigger sizes to it going to a 5XL. Besides it going to a size 5XL it mentions below that the sizing system is only ONE SIZE, so I'm a bit confused as to why they'd mention all the sizes if it's one size... 

Second, I ordered yet another piece of lingerie. This one fits, but the problem I have with it is that it's not the same as in the pictures. It's quite similar, but it feels like it's a replica of the lingerie they show on the pictures. It's quite a lot longer than the one from the picture and also looks less delicate and poorly manufactured.

The next item I bought was a memory card for my phone, 8GB. I received it, tried it on my phone and was quite excited that it actually worked given the disappointments so far with this order. Two days after having the memory card on my phone I got a notification saying the memory card was damaged and I needed to insert another memory card. To be sure it wasn't the phone acting out I tried reading the memory card with my laptop which also didn't work so I'm certain the memory card was sent to me already in poor conditions.


The fourth and last item, thankfully, is the top you can see below. As you can see in the first picture it was completely unwearable. When they sew the crochet pattern they must have made a big mistake because the pattern wasn't even centered, it was drifting to the side and it's quite obvious also. In hopes of saving at least something from this dreadful order at Aliexpress, I decided to resew the crochet pattern in the correct position which turned out okay, at least now I can wear it.


I must say that Aliexpress does have a buyer protection policy, where you can complain about a purchase if you're unhappy with it, but since I was on vacation and wasn't here to collect the orders and open to make sure everything was okay, the buyer protection option expired. Still, in 4 items there's not one that I can say I'm happy with, and I'm not even very picky with these things. I'm extremely disappointed with the service and what I've received, and even more so because I contacted the sellers and none of them has replied with even an apology. I would not recommend purchasing in this shop, Probably not all the sellers on the site are dishonest but at least don't make purchases on the ones I linked. Don't be scammed the way I was.
