I love buying from aliexpress. What will I get? Who fucking knows. Authentic products in their original packaging? Pure monoatomic cadmium? A cutting edge prototype that wasn’t supposed to leave the lab? A product loaded with viruses and malware? Something totally different from what I ordered by somehow still awesome? I fucking love seeing the DHL label on my stoop it gives me life.

Also when you’re buying craft supplies the suppliers often throw in freebies and gifts and extras which is always fun and charming.
