I have to say handling and receiving package was blazing fast compared to many other sellers.
Package doesn't contain anything advertising Aliexpress. It's not holiday season or anything though.
Only reference to Aliexpress is the warehouse barcode in the actual product that starts with AE.
Also a small AE in the info box on the label.
One thing that really bothers me is that they print some random piece of description of the product to the label, and as you know all the Chinese super SEO's always spam them full of random words distantly related to the product.
This product label says:
Hot swimwear men Breathable Men's Swimsuit Swim Trunks Boxer Briefs Sunga Swim Suits Maillot De Bain Beach Shorts
That doesn't look too professional if you're trying to make your storefront look less Chinese.
So in Summarum I'd say it's quite safe, but expensive compared to aliexpress standard shipping. For high priced products I think it's not too much of an increase, but in my small lifestyle niche it almost doubles the product cost.
Processing and handling time blew me out the window, but that's what I kind of expected with $3.5 shipping.
P.s.
The control package left China today.
