What is the least shitty shit store? Never had a good experience with any of the shops such as, wish, aliexpress and the rest of em. But which one of them is considered the better one, or more likely to actually arrive with the correct item? Is etsy considered better than the rest? Are there any of these "low priced" stores that actually have some sort of guarantee to deliver what is purchased? Let me know your experiences and tips!

I have had three Aliexpress orders go bad, and two of them I was refunded. One of them I was not, despite the fact their own shipping still showed it as on it's way to New Jersey. They kept insisting I "pick it up at the local post office." I pointed out Virginia was not near New Jersey. I was denied, but only out $8. As far as Amazon vs. Aliexpress, I will agree with you about Amazon customer service being better. But I have had "AliExpress shipping times" on some Amazon products, which led me to believe that the particular store was outside their local jurisdiction.
