Anyone had much experience with Aliexpress?

I've been finding some stuff through DHGate lately, and am going through the same anxieties; should I, or shouldn't I?
I know using a credit card gives me some measure of protection, but I just hate the hassles when things go bad financially.

I bought some pedals via Wish.com that I couldn't find on Aliexpress, but unlike with Aliexpress, I got stung for taxes and handling fees. Still relatively cheap, but Aliexpress were just as good and much cheaper.
