looks like AliExpress has been caught and fined. Beware of fake parts for all repairs ..
What suppliers do you use or avoid?
Temu were fined too. To be honest, both of them are okay for nuts and bolts, seeing as you can’t really screw that up.
But I bought an ATX PSU extension cable once, and the wires turned out to be steel rather than copper…
They really don’t care if your house burns down.

Pretty sure @martyn has a horror story about a soldering iron for out that way…
The one time I tried to use Ali they banned me, not sure why but I suspect it was because I use a custom email domain and they didn’t like “aliexpress@mydomain” as the email of the account. So I’ve never actually bought anything from them 
Top marks for that pun
