I just ordered a 3ds from AliExpress - Wish me luck.

I hope this isn't perceived as advertising.. I'm quite apprehensive about making this purchase and will absolutely update with my progress if/when the console arrives.
In the meantime, if anyone out there has any experience buying through AliExpress I would love to hear from you. This is my first purchase and I feel like it's a total gamble.
If this is somehow perceived as advertising, mods please delete immediately. I do not want to violate any rules. This community is too awesome to lose!
It's a gamble with risks that your local chains who resells the same stuff usually shoulders for you. I've bought a lot of stuff here, including original electronics, up to ≈$2k a piece. Research is your first best friend, the second best friend is a camera you record unboxing with to prove to Ali you deserve a refund. I'm not into 3ds market, but if nothing alarmed you before you placed an order, it should be okay, I guess.
It'd be interesting to see your report after you test it.
