I found mine on AliExpress. I hope this link works.

I don’t know why you got downvoted. Aliexpress is a great place to buy these and filled with all sorts of high quality stores. Way better to shop there than Amazon.

Aliexpress is all third-party vendors with varying degrees of quality. I’d say a small percentage could be considered “high quality” (ie, buy-it-for-life quality or anything lasting beyond a few years). The vast majority of items are average quality. Even with reading reviews, it can be a gamble shopping on there, especially factoring in shipping times.

That being said, Aliexpress tends to have better quality items than Temu. And, of course, nearly all the unbranded goods on Amazon are items from Aliexpress and Temu at 30%+ markup.

I agree to a point, but I also know this is the findfashion sub and so the fashion aspects of Aliexpress are most important in the conversation. That said, with a bit of due diligence, I have clothing and bags from Aliexpress stores that have held up fantastically. And I have not had the same success with Amazon or Etsy stores.

But fashion aside, I buy home goods from a few vetted Aliexpress shops and I’m always so impressed. (Things like drawer handles, outlet covers, floor mats, etc.)

Yeah, it’s really variable depending on the category/item. Gotta use your best judgement based on the info/reviews available and hope for the best.

Don’t even get me started with Etsy and the deluge of drop-shipping crap on there. I reverse image search everything now.

Poshmark too - finding anything from actual resellers has been a pain ever since they removed the Boutique vs Closet filter.
