Three of the five times I bought something from AliExpress it was falsely
advertised (didn't receive what was specified). Even worse, AliExpress
seems to condone/protect this. The dispute process is a joke, offering 10
cents on the dollar refund (or, pay the postage to return the item which
you wouldn't have purchased if it had been accurately advertised). If you
don't take the token apology, AliExpress resolves the dispute entirely in
the seller's favor.

One of the most crooked places I've ever encountered. (Not all sellers are.
But, a large percent are, and AliExpress seems to protect them.).

So.... what you see and what you receive may be two entirely different
things. I wouldn't get too excited until you (or someone you trust)
receives it.

Good luck. (Maybe my experience isn't representative. But, what I
encountered was *shameless* deceit.).
