From now until the end of March, AliExpress is celebrating its US Anniversary Sale, spotlighting a range of locally shipped products. This includes an exciting array of items such as video game consoles, accessories, computer peripherals, monitors, headphones, memory cards, gaming chairs, and fitness equipment. These products are conveniently stocked in US-based warehouses, offering free shipping and quick delivery, typically arriving within one to two weeks. This is a stark contrast to products shipped from China, which may take over a month to arrive and could incur high shipping fees. Moreover, AliExpress provides a refund guarantee if your locally shipped order doesn't arrive within 20 business days.
AliExpress is a legitimate platform, functioning as a marketplace for individual sellers. To ensure a safe purchase, it's crucial to check the seller's rating and history. While some vendors listed in this article may have limited reviews, AliExpress has personally vetted these sellers, giving us confidence in promoting their products. Additionally, AliExpress offers a 15 to 90-day free return policy, depending on the product.

AliExpress is a great source for discounted LEGO sets, but be cautious of knockoffs. Genuine listings always mention "LEGO" in their descriptions, while imitation listings might show similar photos but avoid mentioning the brand to evade AliExpress's flags. If a deal seems too good to be true, it likely is. The LEGO Transformers Bumblebee deal is a genuine product at a competitive yet reasonable price.

A note on imported Nintendo Switch consoles

However, keep in mind that imported consoles come with an overseas warranty that may not be valid in the US, packaging might be in another language, and you might need an adapter for the wall charger, which sellers on AliExpress typically include.
