I see Compressors, Tanks, Scopes and all types of Pcp goodies for tremendously low prices. My question is who here has purchased anything from the site? I know you pay for what you get but you never know just might get lucky

Nothing wrong with that site. Only problem is waiting 2 to 3 weeks to get it. Used it many times, never had a problem.

I’ve had good luck with AliExpress as well. Probably ordered 20 times and always got what was advertised and generally as good or better quality than I would have expected for the price. Even took a chance on some reamers for doing barrel leade work on the common calibers and they produced good cuts...no doubt a professional machinist would find fault but they’re just right for a hobbyist like me.

Have also ordered a few items from AliExpress and all items were as advertised...like was said above perfect for items one is not in a rush for.

I try and stay away from the obvious knock off things, and get the pre branded items.
Wait times are long, and I wouldn't buy anything that I wouldn't be prepared to just write off as a loss. Even though they claim to offer warranties, price to ship something back would be a pain in the rear.
I ordered a couple scopes and several different types of rings that are really working out well.
Waiting for a couple different scopes now to give a try.
I've been ordering from China for a few years now, only one purchase never showed up, it's still tracking from the website. But that was a special offer for free, pay postage only and was a couple bucks, so I didn't really sweat it.
You have to really read the item description though, like I recently received 1 30mm scope ring, not 1 pair like I thought. I'll get around to ordering another one, its $3 again, no real big deal.
Compressors though thats a tough one, I'm trying to hold out and wait for JSAR to come through with the one Travis went through and made corrections to, and will be put out with those changes and will be a better product and last longer than a month, as their testing produced.
There are plenty of compressors aliexpress has including shipping for $200 or less, but if something goes wrong, it's going to cost that to send it back if you can't fix it.

I think 2 to 3 weeks is a long time for american standard...I always buy in Aliexpress, They send very fast and in 2 weeks the product is in Brazil...but when the product arrives in Correios (Brazilian Mail Service - state owned) , Correios just delivery the product after two months.... but despite this delivery time is long..the buy worths because the price is very low..

Thanks for the feed back. I'll give Ali a chance seems to be legit from what you guys are saying. I don't mind the wait...hell most airguns are 6-8wk wait period and for the price it's almost a no brainer

I did wait a 2-3 weeks, but the communication was a lot better than most US based companies.

I have bought numerous items from aliexpress a Yong Heng and parts for one as well. All came as advertised and most took one to three weeks. They seem to have the most Yong Heng parts available.

Discovery optics, I've gotten 3 sights from them, all have been excellent. I also got a fill station valve, some HPA metal orings, and other random stuff.

Bought a hand pump from them. The desiccant filter was missing and communication was great, all though they said I didn't buy from them. What I got out of it is AliExpress is like Amazon, a collection house for little guys to sell their wares. With that said, I was able to find who the seller was and they sent my the filter.

Just think of it as Chinese eBay. If you have a problem like something not being as described or faulty, you will usually be offered a discount or refund. Use a bit of common sense like not expecting a Leupold or Bushnell scope for $50 to be genuine. Here in Australia, things can take between a week and six weeks to arrive depending on the postage method. Most of the stuff I get is not available here and if it is it costs ten times as much. I would prefer to use eBay but if I can't find what I want or see a better deal on there, that's where I go.
