Aliexpress at one point decided I was going to have to learn either Russian or Hebrew if I wanted to shop there again. It seems tied to my account as it just flips me right back to either one of those languages when I log in. It helped me get out of my low-key shopping addiction at least.
A few months ago, one of the sellers I had purchased some stuff from (only for about €200 over a span of 2 years) contacted me on my personal email and asked in very broken English if everything was alright since he hadn't seen me in a while. He sent me a bunch of coupons for his Aliexpress shop and several links to those really well made fakes everyone is always looking for on there (so now you know, the trick to finding those is through your Shanghai bff :) ).
The products are cheap, the sellers surprisingly kind, but the place itself is just really weird!
