Aliexpress GTX 1050 Ti vs Wish.com GTX 1050 Ti. Real vs Fake

#wish.com #aliexpress #gtx1050ti
I decided to compare the shopping experience of buying a graphics card from Aliexpress to Wish.com, just too see which is worse. The two infamous online retailers
I bought an Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti from both websites.

[@DawidDoesTechStuff]

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by Aliexpress. The shipping does take super long though.

[@mypeeps1965]

@@DawidDoesTechStuff IKR! It is actually state subsidize shipping so nothing ships until the shipping container is filled. I have received shipments in as little as 10 days and as long as 9 weeks. Often times you can pay a little more and buy the exact same item from the same person on amazon and get the stuff in a couple of days. It is bettter to buy in bulk, i.e. smaller and more. you will almost always get a break in price and you would only have to restock once or twice a year. Flux, solder balls sleeving supplies etc.

[@SomeTech]

Did he just literally changed his mistakes into a meme.. what a legend

[@randallcraft4071]

Aliexpress sellers do come through pretty often, AE just doesn't vet their sellers all that well, so they will let scammers run rampant until they get enough bad reviews, wish just doesn't care unless the actual manufacturer complains I think. If you find weird SKUs sometimes they are for other markets. I think Linus tried to do this same exercise and wound up with a legit GPU, but it was a Mish mash of 2 other SKUs but was legit and made only for the Chinese market for computer cafes and arcades.

Personally, I've had mixed experiences with both Wish, AliExpress and also BangGood - with each of them, sometimes I got good stuff, sometimes I got scammed up the wazoo. But yeah, Wish definitely wears the scam-king crown in comparison to the other two... for every dodgy scam on AlExpress or BangGood, there were at least four on Wish. AliExpress wears the crown when it comes to properly refunding, though there have been some less-than-decent responses from them as well (mostly from my early days of discovering AliExpress; back then they didn't really seem to like dealing with scammed customers, but it's gotten better since).
