Hi there,
i have been purchasing in china for arround 4 years.
Mostly on Aliexpress, so far I haven't had any problems.
Shipping has become significantly faster in the last few months - around a week, rarely longer.
From June the fun of cheap shopping in China will be over.
From then on, import sales tax is due on everything within the EU.
The exemption of € 22 is then gone.

Aliexpress has been decent to me, but I have noticed the shipping prices are rising to the US also.

My son ordered Gortex field jackets from the USA of a certain camouflage pattern, it was the last time we had parcels from the USA, the bill I had to pay fedex on arrival wasn’t worth the jackets.
However to get past the tax all they had to do is put the item down as a replacement on the forms.
