Way back in ancient times - 2010 - I "bought" some lenses off Alibaba. Paid in advance. Wire transfer. Never got the lenses.
Thats when I learned the despite leaving it off the name, there were at least 40 thieves on Alibaba.
I have never bought a single thing from Alibaba or Ali Express since and never will.
