Alli Express - reliable?

[WelshMoth]

I've been looking for a coat and found the one I want on Amazon (nothing amazing, a waterproof dry-robe styled coat).

I seem to have found the exact same one on Alli Express for half the price. The p&p is £15 but I still stand to make a £39 saving.

Anyone bought from AlliExpress before?

It's basically the same as Shein/Temu.

No it's awful

I've used them very frequently for years for personal and work items, had a few ones that were not as described and had no trouble getting refunds, had a few that were poor quality and I just accepted that was my problem, I didn't go for a refund.

I've never bought a high-priced item as you are describing, my maximum was about £35.
I would be dubious regarding waterproof quality on either product but it is probably exactly the same coat, I've seen this a lot on Amazon over the past few years.

Check v closely its exactly the same as the Amazon one but also, if you don't like the item it is easy to return to Amazon, not so easy with Ali Express to send back to China.
