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've ordered everything from audio stuff to knives on aliexpress. Find a good reputable seller and you're good. That's pretty much the same for any platform like Ebay. Amazon has increasingly gotten worse. Now it's either really big name brands or cheap chinese clones

Edit: check out Louis Rossman's video buying electrical equipment from Amazon. If you buy the top rated results, you'll probably fuck yourself over. One of the top products is a fuse that won't blow like it's supposed to, if you put this in your system, it will be catastrophic and life threatening.

Every name brand clothing item I've ordered on Amazon has been fake

Aliexpress also has fakes, but if you want to shop for brands that originate in China, you can find actually good quality products for very cheap. Like Ugreen, who makes nice phone/multi chargers, cables, powerbanks, or Sonoff for smart home stuff, or Anycubic for 3D resin printers.

Amazon is a shitshow, I can't even find the original stuff. Wish is just a scam. Ebay is okay, but their shipping is not the best.

I've had some bad sellers on AliExpress, but support tends to be quite good. They don't take any bullshit from scam sellers.

Amazon definitely has. Almost all the clothing is either brands I can't afford or no name brands that are terrible quality. I have returned my last sweater. So freaken down with them. Go back to clothing shopping in a physical store like it is 1999.

I enjoy buying merch from some youtubers tbh.
LTT makes awesome quality garments. I was multiple times commented that they look high quality. And I really like how they feel.
Kurzgesagt has some cool shirts.

But outside of those: Hit or miss.
