Cheers Kevin Connery - I don't want to tempt fate but I signed up yesterday and bought an Item and have received an email today saying it's been dispatched with an estimated delivery date.
The whole process so far seems pretty legit and fairly similar to Ebay !
Yup. AliExpress provides a framework for sellers and buyers to transact business. Pretty straightforward.

The worst that happened is that a few never arrived but considering their price it was no big deal, appart from that no issue whatsoever.
Same here. I've ordered, for example, over 1000 small magnets in recent years and even if 8 out of 10 of the orders went astray, I'd still have ended up ahead: prices were less than 1/10th that of Amazon, and 1/20th that of a scientific equipment site. (And, for the record, none went astray; all were flawless purchases, and delivered quickly.) Probably bought 50+ pieces of costume jewelry with the same price/result sets, and only a couple of sub-$1.00 items got 'lost'-not worth complaining about.
