Can anyone experienced with AliExpress please give me some advice. I'm really not sure how it works. I've read that the sellers on there aren't allowed to sell name brands like Nike, gucci, rolex, Sony, etc.
Is that true for every product category?
What if it's a brand with a good reputation in a somewhat esoteric category? Would that fall under the radar just because it's not as well known as say, Rolex?
For example, I've been considering investing in a thermal monocular. On aliexpress there are a lot of "no name" brands, but then I also saw a lot of listings for Pulsar, which is one of the thermal brands with the best reputation. The prices seem pretty close to what one would expect for Pulsar, but this whole topic has got me scratching my head and thinking I should just buy the cheapest no-name unit I can find that would get the job done. I'd hate to pay a couple thousand dollars and end up with some junk that's dressed in a Pulsar shell. Any way to tell for real if things are legitimate on there?
Can the reviews even be trusted?
