www.aliexpress.com....these guys legit? - Galaxy S III Accessories

http://www.aliexpress.com
Just wondering if anyone has done business with them and how it went? Their prices are ridiculously low and i'm tempted to make a purchase from them but would like to hear some feedback before doing so.

Looks like they're a division of Alibaba.com. They basically make cheap chinese knockoffs and sell them dirt cheap. Been doing it for years, and they're a HUGE company.

Hmm, well for $7.35 shipped, I may just try that holder then

I've ordered several iPhone related accessories through aliexpress. Just recently ordered a Rock case for my S3. Most of my iPhone related orders took about a month to get to me. The Rock case took a week and a half.

Good to know....now I see how these cell phone accessory places can get away with selling stuff so damn cheap.....ordering from places like this ensures at least 200% profit!

Aliexpress is the smaller e-commerce arm of AliBaba. Alibaba is the biggest B2B companies in China.
It is like the ebay for big boys. They sell 1 piece to 10000000 pieces. However, there is a lot of fake stuff there.

Yeah, their site actually reminded me of eBay. Lots of fake stuff there too. I'm not too concerned about fake stuff considering i'm paying fake stuff price

Be careful buying things like microSD cards. I got one of the fake-reporting ones from them. Ended up getting a full refund though

Wow, your username is, in order.....first two letters of my first name, middle initial, last name initial
Def not ordering anything I'd be concerned with getting a counterfeit of. I'm just looking at a vent holder, nothing special.

I have used Aliexpress and DHgate.com to sell things here in Dominican Republic. The shipping takes almost one month to get here so don't buy things that you need asap.
Keep yourself away from buying Memory Cards or Hard Drives, almost always are fake or have less capacity than listed.
IMHO dhgate > aliexpress.

What's the link to the holder?

if the price is ridiculously low, you should pay attention with it. Check seller's feedback info. By the way ,you can't Pay with Paypal on Aliexpress. If you wish to buy with Paypal, try www .beltal. com/compares, it claim "Shop All Dhgate/Aliexpress Items 2-15% off with Paypal & Beltal Escrow service. "

what about batteries from Aliexpress

well what about the quality of their batteries?
because I was trying to get CHICHITEC 2500mAh Battery- unfortunately Amazon isn't delivering them to my area- bah
So i did spot these (which are delivered worldwide- no matter you are are located)
"Free-shipping-Wholesale-New-2500mah-Extended-Battery-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-SIII-i9300" ( sorry i can't yet insert links in my posts )
I am tempted to order that ( hope i won't fry my phone)... Anyone has an opinion on them or an advice?

Worth trying, I wanted to see what you get. Please let me know if it is ok. I'm gonna got one if it is ok.

This is a excellent web shop!

I'll throw in my two pennies - they are probably fake... but it's 3 bucks so not much of an investment! These earbuds are listed for 27 dollars on amazon, and this is a chinese website. But hey, give it a go?

Yeah, I'm thinking they are fake too, but it doesn't matter as long as they carry good sound. I will report back when I get them. Sometimes, these fake ones are just brandless ones that get branded later by named companies like Creative.
And it's $2, not $3.
So many counterfeit products out there.

Original housing available on ebay!

Hi!!
Today i search on ebay for a cool case and i find original housing in white and grey!!! But... are too expensive :s about 50 US
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Ba...720987?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f179724db
This is the cheapest that i found with worldwide shipping (im from chile, thats why my english sucks).
Cheers!

Hhahaha i will buy one to test it and give to xda community some info about it.
So, has anyone bought one of these? My HOX fell down on hard asphalt a few days ago and the white housing got dents on three corners. After I got a proper pouch I would like to replace it because I plan to use the phone for at least two years. To be honest, I feel a little uncertain about ordering stuff on eBay from Chinese people. But so far I haven't seen an alternative.

WOW...wat you got against the Chinese bro. I admit that China does make cheap ripoffs of the real deal. But if the titles says its legit, you can buy it, and if you dont think its legit, just ask for moneyback.. Why you gotta make this so racist
How easy is it to replace the back cover? I mean, does it just come off and the other one goes on?
Its so easy, find some videos on youtube about this.

There are several sellers on eBay selling the same product. Lowest price was $47 shipped.
Now all we need is someone selling a deeper one with a high capacity battery

Hey, no offense intended. I've got nothing against the Chinese in general, e.g. I've got a very cool Chinese colleague. But I wondered if it is so easy to get your money back from a guy in China if he sells you a crap or fake product when you live in Europe. I would have asked the same if the housing had been offered by someone from Argentina or South Africa, simply because it's a different country far away and I have no experience with ordering from there. Calling this racist is nonsense.
Has anyone bought this yet? I want to but I'm concerned about the quality.

Its not racist, the Chinese have form for knocking off everything and everything, even down to forging cancer drugs that instead of helping with the disease help to speed it up instead.... Those damn things have found their way into legit doctors surgeries.
So no, commenting on the fact the chinese regularly flog fake bunk is fact not racism.
Has anyone bought this yet?
I ordered this past weekend. I'm in Canada so it may take a week or two.
Hong Kong is not part of China so don't worry . I was told by a seller it was original by HTC so I should expected it to be exactly the same. I don't know whether to be assured or to find loads of flaws from the building process .
interesting. I've been waiting to see the inside of the case. Some places have been saying the body is manufactured by machining but that looks a lot more like an injection moulded part. Maybe a small mount of post machining / polishing.
the question is, how hard is it to apply it yourself to the device ?!
saw a couple of video's on how to replace the housing.....from the looks of it, scary
That's just me :cyclops:

I'd have to agree with that. But most of if not all of those same accessories ship from Hong Kong too...everything ordered from the site I posted might cost a few bucks more, but they're shipped from the USA and arrive much faster. To some, that's worth the few extra bucks spent.

I am always willing to pay a little extra to get it from the states. I order stuff because I want it now, not in 3 weeks. I have my eBay app set up to show only US sellers for that reason alone. I know it's all the same stuff. I contacted Amazon about putting that feature into their app twice, with no response

the price in the morning was at 98£, they had already sold ~15 items, now it's at 78£
what do u think guys?? seems like something is fishy here right? ... not to mention, shipping from Hong Kong
If it sounds too good to be true...
I wouldn't bother to avoid the disappointment

That's quite a deal and tempting and now sold 42, wishing for some kind of verification it's legit.

http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI...sspagename=VIP:feedback&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller
All of his feedback as a seller are for nothing more than like $50. 15 feedback, of unrelated items to technology. Where does one magically get 80+ of these. And can sell them for half of what they sell for AND make a profit...
Look at some of their previous purchases.
Too fishy for me to order the Calimare this time around.
Location is Hong Kong. Almost guarantee that it's a fake.
anything coming from Hong Kong should always be approached with caution. Now Ebay does have rules again st selling counterfeit items, to the point that if caught the entire account will be disabled. Kinda Worth the risk at the price, just make sure you are not spending your rent money on it.
Alot like gambling IMO, you could get the legit thing at a great price, but also keep in mind its cheap enough to just order straight from Google, if you want to be 100% sure.
So people,
Looks like our doubts have been confirmed. The listing has now been removed from eBay.
You were just too good to be true.
