What are your best tips for finding quality stuff on AliExpress and similar?
AliExpress can offer great deals, but it's also very easy to get scammed, receive a cheap knock-off, or even end up with nothing at all. The search engine isn't very helpful, often mixing reputable merchants with sketchy ones and real products with junk.
So far, I've found the AliUp extension, which seems fairly helpful. I wish there were third-party websites with independent reviews, but I haven't found anything truly helpful or comprehensive yet.
So, what are your tips for buying on AliExpress or similar platforms?

Seller once asked me to ship it back, when I told customer support how much it would cost to ship it back (twice the cost of the item itself) they just refunded me.
You have to pay for shipping back? I’ve always had free returns at USPS.
Maybe the return situation is different in Canada, or they fixed that issue a while ago (I didn't have to deal with an item to return since).
