I always hear stories about the dangers of buying from WIsh.com, Aliexpress, and recently Temu. I’ve jokingly called them “buyer beware” sites even. Yet people still use them, and there’s just as many positive results as negative. But I’ve also heard about unexplained card charges, data hacks, pyramid-scheme-like behavior, etc. So which of those sites, or other similar sites, is the “safest” if I DID wanna shop there?
I’m not a grandpa I’m just not so convenience focused that I need help deciding which slave and children labor outlet is safest for me.
Don’t act all high and mighty, half the products you purchase are probably still child labor produced
I do my best to make purchases that cause the least amount of harm to any living creature involved with its production. It’s not high and mighty, it’s the right thing to do. Why don’t you do that?
you’re mostly being judgy on the internet towards strangers, so there’s that
also, I don’t know where you live (nor do you know where op lives by the way), but as an example I asked the other day in one of the only electronics shop in my town, if they had Thunderbolt 3 cables and they just answered “no”. I have a ton of examples like that: video projectors, canon proprietary cards for their cameras, printer ink for my printer, a case for my phone, a new piece for my turntable, a new battery for my bluetooth speaker, etc.
Meanwhile, @the_q:
Texas, probably.
I’m not being judgemental! You guys attacked me cause I said something y’all didn’t like.
You assumed op were young because that allowed you to display your wisdom, while answering a question they didn’t ask. when someone pointed that out and someone else said that ordering online had advantages because you could find things you otherwise wouldn’t, you got defensive.
Because it’s not my responsibility to fix the world that billionaires fucked sideways?
Yeah pass the buck…
