How we pick
What gets in
- Real sales and real feedback: right now every product has at least 93% positive feedback and at least 100 sales in the last six months.
- Outside opinion where it exists: independent tests, review sites, forums and recall databases. Where a card leans on one review, it names it.
- Brand and official stores when there's a choice.
- Sold to you: the site only shows you products AliExpress sells to your country, at the price in your currency.
What keeps a product out
- Fake safety or spec claims, like a "VDE" screwdriver set rated at 500 V when real VDE tools are tested to 1000 V.
- Products that break a standard, like an 8 m USB-C cable (the spec stops at 4 m).
- Fake discounts: if the "was" price is twice the real price or more, we don't show a discount at all.
What the labels mean
- Editor's pick: the find we'd recommend first this week.
- Best value: the most product for the money in its group.
- Gift pick: easy to give and hard to get wrong.
- Only a few products get a label, and labels change as the sales do.
What we don't do
- We don't have a lab. "Tested" on this site always means someone else's test, and we say whose.
- We don't take payment for placement. We earn a commission when you buy through our links. Rates differ per product (some picks pay as little as 3%), and the rate doesn't decide what gets in. Affiliate disclosure
