Other favorite items to buy from Banggood/Aliexpress etc?

I am new to AliExpress, Banggood, and GearBest… I have ordered ~5-6 lights (which are all inbound atm). I am interested in what other things people safely buy from these sites that one would consider obtaining from them… Doesn’t have to be flashlight related…

Look at the budget knives threads. Warning, anything with a brand you’ve heard of may well be counterfeit. On the other hand, there are interesting, good value (= quality for the price) knives from low to high end. On the low end, GANZO/ GANZO FIREBIRD, Land/Enlan, Sanrenmu $10-30. Midrange, CH, Two Sun, $30-150. High End, haven’t bought there yet, but Green Thorn has a good rep?

Hobby tools - look at Leatherworking tools, Precision screwdrivers
Watches - again, for the price there are good values. Many midrange use Seiko movements but run 1/2 - 2/3 the Amazon price.

Go to VIPON and browse!

I like Twosun knives, especially the ones with M390 steel, this one is great:

I like Banggood’s Blitzwolf brand. I’ve bought a bunch of USB cables, wireless chargers for my phone, solar panels, and cheap Bluetooth speakers. I also bought some USB and battery powered Christmas decoration lights from Banggood and Gearbest. I’m very pleased with these products.

Tons of other electronics like a mini amp, bluetooth module, phone cases “it’s the only place to get case for Oneplus 5T”
As well as headphone replacement pads and junky cheapo but surprisingly good earphones

Years ago badger knots were unbelievable cheap and high quality. Made two brushes from two and three band knots.

I bought silvertip badger shaving brushes on aliexpress and the quality was astounding!
Shaving supplies on there are generally a good buy if you have the right sellers.

I wouldn’t buy chinese straight razors, however. Better spent some money on Solingen products like Aust or Wacker. Or go with an old Sheffield.

2A1 · 2020-12-31T12:36:00.000Z

yes, the razors are not always good. I am still looking for a 100% stainless steel razor, not the chromed zinc ones. but they are not cheap.
