What is the least shitty shit store? Never had a good experience with any of the shops such as, wish, aliexpress and the rest of em. But which one of them is considered the better one, or more likely to actually arrive with the correct item? Is etsy considered better than the rest? Are there any of these "low priced" stores that actually have some sort of guarantee to deliver what is purchased? Let me know your experiences and tips!

Yeah I have got tons of stuff from there, only time it didn't work out was:

5€ watches, they are just as crappy as you'd imagine 😁

Once an item didn't show up, and seller needed a video/photo so I just filmed my empty hand. Didn't get refunded.

But that's about it.

Ofc, there are obvious scammy stuff, so check out size etc and if it's too good to be true, well then it's probably not true.

If it looks too good and has no reviews avoid it like the plague. I never understood why they need video or photo proof of an item not arriving. How do you take a photo of something you do not have???
