Everything I've ordered from Aliexpress over the years (which is quite a bit; GBA/Megadrive/SNES repros, LCD kits, SD2Vita's, SD2SP2's, replacement console/handheld shells, Dreamshell, DreamPSU, GCHD, Neo Geo controller extension cords, a Pandoras Box 4S... lots of other stuff) all arrived working/undamaged and within the advertised time frame. I've even had good experience with getting refunds.
It's not so much a Chinese Amazon (as stated by someone above) - the reason the prices are so low is because you're pretty much dealing directly with the manufacturers, so it's more of a storefront for a wealth of Chinese businesses. You'll find exactly the same stuff on Amazon and ebay (and most other popular online marketplaces), that was sourced from Aliexpress with the prices inflated to make money for the middleman.
