Of all the sketchy eCommerse sites (Wish, Aliexpress, Temu), which is the "safest?"

Battle Masker@lemmy.world to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 65 points –

I always hear stories about the dangers of buying from WIsh.com, Aliexpress, and recently Temu. I've jokingly called them "buyer beware" sites even. Yet people still use them, and there's just as many positive results as negative. But I've also heard about unexplained card charges, data hacks, pyramid-scheme-like behavior, etc. So which of those sites, or other similar sites, is the "safest" if I DID wanna shop there?

Amazon

If it’s on Amazon and one of the apps OP named, you’re paying for a dropshipper

I'd pay dropshipping fees just to get Amazon's no-questions-asked full refunds if anything goes wrong, including delays, broken or incorrect items, or just poor quality (and of course, those two days free shipping with prime if you have that). Amazon, in my experience, always rectified any issue promptly. Those other ones ... well, you can try your luck, I guess.
