Going to AliExpress for the first time, great first impression

Selling quack medical products can't be legal, surely

Also imagine having to declare this at customs :data-laughing:

Edit: lmao, got an even more [CW:Penis] dubious health product

"1 bottle = 1cm"

Literally one row down when looking for game controller parts and accessories

    it is legal because this is probably sold as an "herbal remedy" or whatever these scum pass off their products as. classic trick for all fake medicine salespeople.

    Why is the first thing it recommends you random hair growth product?

    Be normal and buy knock off legos.

        Yea that stuff is ridiculously strong and intense if you research what it does

        Finasteride gives me really bad depression (from no depression) every time I try it

        I hope you're right and it doesn't happen again if I take it with E

      I considered taking something for my hair but the doctor told me it would also cause hair growth everywhere else and I'm already pretty hairy.

    I got a ton of film photography equipment on the cheap though!

    But I started limiting my aliexpress purchases after getting a lot of useless stuff. Especially in electronics, it all just breaks down after a few months or sometimes even days.

    One thing that still works are my rechargeable AA and AAA batteries, but I got them from a company that's actually big in China. Likewise I got some Semir jeans on ali a few years ago and I still like them, but that company has huge stores everywhere in China.

    When I was very young and horny, I bought a horny device from Aliexpress.

    If I was stupid enough to risk my penis, middle aged men will absolutely risk their lives to regain their hair.
