Yep. AliExpress things, it is rarely as much of a good deal as it first appears. I have been burned many times.
For things that you don't care about or don't need to rely on it's fine but there is too much fuckery going on to trust it for anything of importance.
That being said, Amazon isn't much better nowadays and I have been pleasantly surprised by some items from AliExpress. However one should not expect western quality standard for most things...
