I've thought of ordering some things using aliexpress recently, but have always stopped before pulling the trigger over guilt about putting more money in the pockets of the Chinese by bypassing US markets. I think that's about to change. When you have Nike and other hypocritical, hypergreedy US corporations doing things like pulling their sponsorship of AP for striking a child, while they run sweatshops in multitudes and outsource everything that they can to fatten their wallets. I guess Oregon won't be getting new helmets this week.

The only reason nike pulled their sponsorship is to avoid negative PR. they don't give a frick about children.

Haven't used aliexpress at all YET. That's what the OP was about. The jersey was from other Chinese site years ago. Aliexpress is the Amazon of cheap shite. All coming from the same place anyway.
