Buying from AliExpress
Realise that there is a trade war starting up but what do you guys think of buying from AliExpress?
I just bought a dashcam (front and rear). Basic but does the job for $120 with express shipping. Received it is 9 days. It fits perfectly and you really don't notice it when installed.

Wow, got it from China in 9 days? Usually it's like 3 months to me, in Vancouver! How much extra was shipping? And where are you located?
Sounds way better than Ebay. You can't get Express shipping with them, can you? |

I'm in Toronto. Not all vendors offer fast shipping...check out the key covers in leather for $12.

Interestingly enough this is the same (or very similar) camera that inCarBite sell for almost $300.
http://www.incarbite.com/en/productD...d=VD_Camera_OE The one they sell for the M2 looks identical. Here is the one I bought: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/BigB...874109217.html

Set one fits our cars. Feel free to write to them. They respond quickly. The instructions are pretty bad however. Most info is in Mandarin but These things are not complicated to install.

No thanks. When possible I'm looking for options other than made in China.

Most but not all. Lots of stuff MIC is good quality ie iPhones and lots of stuff is total junk. When given the choice though, why add to the trade deficit?? Oh because you saved $3, good for you.

I bought a radiator hose tap which was sold in the US for $64 for $5 and they were the same part....I would ask who is making the money the Chinese or middlemen with huge markups.

Works really well. It good enough and is completely stealth.

Just bought this form AliExpress
IND sell a version for $105. I paid $12 including shipping! Was not expecting much but check it out. Real deal genuine BMW part for 15% of IND's cost. Fit is perfect.
