XTreme Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I'd seen them advertising all over the net for some years but I viewed them with a bit of suspicion given how low the prices were. Anyway, I took the plunge a couple of weeks ago for a cheap pair of glasses for riding and driving......cos I know the magnification that I need. They arrived today (2 weeks early) and they're superb. And the level of protection in terms of the packaging was excellent as well. All in all I'm very impressed with the whole process, so I think I'll be using them again for other things. Anybody else got any experience with AliExpress? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I have not, but when I had the Chinky bike a guy I know who had the same bike used them several times, always received what he ordered, and on time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I have purchased stuff there before. Always works out just fine. I even had an online store where I could sell stuff from there and they would drop ship it. (With a small mark up on my end of course.) But it was too much upkeep with price changes and such. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 never used them but I get the impression that it's a bit hit and miss as far as reliability and quality are concerned, Michelle's advice sounds the soundest to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I got some tank pads from there, seem quite good quality and came when they said. Have yet to fit them to the bike so still a bit of an unknown really. I imagine returns would not be easy or even possible in reality. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted October 19, 2022 Author Share Posted October 19, 2022 Had my second lot of glasses through today......very good indeed. So I've taken the plunge and gone for THESE! About €70 cheaper than Givi and they're identical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Ben interesting to see what it is like I have been thinking of something similar for my bike. I have one of those Lidl 12v compressors in my van that I use for the bike but good as it is, it's a bit bulky to cart around on my bike. You can get something similar on Amazon for £30 and I have a feeling it might be more practical to return anything faulty to Amazon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
