You didn't search for kids sizes?

Everything kid-sized was "kids/youth" as far as I could tell. According to their sizing chart, a small is a 7-8. My kid wears a 6, so if they run small, he'll be good. If they don't, they'll probably fit my daughter.

I buy lots of stuff from there. Some tips:

Chinese sizes are way smaller. A Chinese M = Size 6. Chinese L = size 8. Chinese XL = a size 10. Chinese XXL = size 12. Chinese 3X = size 14. If something is "One Size fits all," it will fit a size 4-8. I dont know what the conversion is for men's sizes.

Sometimes things are cheaper in the US on Amazon. So always check there. When things are similarly priced, it ends up cheaper with AliExpress because they hardly ever charge for shipping whereas with eBay shipping is a racket.

It takes up to 24 days to get stuff from China. I've never had customs challenge anything, but I'm very careful to buy only 1 each of widely counterfeited items, like video games.

I've been dissatisfied with some things so I've opened dispute cases. Sellers always want to resolve an open dispute because if they don't, Ali comes down hard on them. To dispute something, you have to take pictures of the defective or damaged item and here is where you can negotiate with the seller. You never want to ship back the defective item because shipping cost a lot and it's a hassle to send it through customs. I calculate the damage (so, the entire cost of a defective item) and I buy something else from them, and negotiate a reduction in price for the second item, in essence getting a store credit.

If you dont want to buy something else from them, you can usually get a refund if you don't ask for one. Offer things like, "I'm not in the market for another of your widgets right now, but I will buy one in the Spring, and you can give me credit I can use next March. They don't want the headache of carrying the credit and accounting for it on their books, so they will usually just issue you a credit. Never forget to give them good feedback if they deserve it; AliExpress is so new that all the sellers are pushing for feedback. Detailed good feedback is even better.

Don't forget some of these sellers are new to ecommerce; most are just a few years away from bargaining in the dirt and spitting on your shoes if they don't like your offer. Suck up to them and they will be nice to you-- it costs you nothing and they love reading your praise in translated Mandarin.

All watches and video games will be fake. All jewelry will be very low quality. You can tell the real stuff because it will be 60-80% of US prices instead of 50% and below. Always buy just 1 thing from a seller, evaluate the product when you get it, and then reorder in bulk. Some things are higher quality, usually paper (stationary) and other paper products. Dont let your young kids roam the site unmonitored because some of the pictures of lingerie are very suggestive.

did you see if they sell those shoes you like?

All ... video games will be fake.

But will they work?

I've only purchased game boy games and they mostly work. The ones that don't work out of the box (about 10%), I negotiate credit for. I wouldn't buy counterfeit games other than for portable players.

Also, AliExpress has a HUGE sale coming up on 11/11/14. One day only, with tons of stuff steeply discounted from 15 to 91%. They have a great hook: you shop for an item (say, an action figure) that is $5 but will be on sale on 11/11 for $2.50. You put the item in your cart, and on 11/11 the price drops 50% and you purchase it. 11/11 is a perfect time to have a sale because most deliveries take 4-5 weeks, just in time for Christmas. I went a little wild but then the next day when I thought I spent too much, I just took the unnecessary items out of my cart. I also use the cart as a bookmark: say I find something I want, on sale for $10. Then later I find another seller selling the same thing for only $8. So I throw the second item in my cart as well. At the end of the day, I just go through and delete all but the lowest priced item.

I thought that I would post links to odd things I find on AliExpress.
