I ordered an iPod from Alibaba back in the day and it was most certainly not an iPod. I think they're more reliable than back then, but who knows. It's always a gamble ordering from those kinds of sites.
One time I ordered a PS2 kit from some janky-ass Chinese site. The kit converted it into a flip top and included a CD that would let you play burned games. After a couple months of it not showing up, I figured I got ripped off, which I half expected anyways. 3.5 months later the kit showed up at my doorstep and actually worked. Haha! I used that thing for years after making the conversion.
