Just thought i'd share it.
I been shopping there a few times (they gather a lot of asian retailers in one place), mostly camera stuff. They even have lenses for Canon, Nikon, Fuji and a few more.
I mainly buy filters, camerabags, extension tubes, adapters and other stuff that is 1/3 of the price back home.

Yesterday i ordered pentax pk to fuji XF adpater, Canon EF to fuji xf adapter, 4 UV filters ranging from 39mm to 67mm, a car charger, a cctv 25mm, a macro extension tube (7mm, 14mm, 28mm), leather neck strap vintage and some shutter buttons.
Total price of $92 with free shipping.

Unless you have to have high quality branded stuff, this is a great place to buy cheap stuff that you might have thought about or want to try if it works.

For you Canon shooters, they are selling the Youngno 50mm f/1.8 for $48 and the Youngno 35mm f/2 for $110, both these have been reviewed on ephotozine and other websites.

Why the hell does the link take me to the Russian site: http://ru.aliexpress.c​om/ru_home.htm (external link), every time I click on it? I'd be willing to give it a try if the site was in the US, but Russia? Hell, no. Just way too much potential for a major burn.

6 years ordering from them, no problems.

the only issue is sometimes it's more pricier than ebay but for bulk stuff it's mostly cheaper.

It got your IP address and redirect in the nearly language it thought (me it redirect me to portuguese language ?!? which have nothing to do with the country i live in)

In other hands, here > (external link) it look like it's a bit a "russian roulette" to buy on this site

Top right corner is where you can pick language.
So far i had no problems with my order, takes from 7 days to 2 weeks to get your order in the mailbox.

You can always open a complaint if something goes wrong, aliexpress.com is the one holding your money until the package arrives and then the store gets their money.
