Cube stores like thecubicle or speedcubeshop have better quality control and more reliable shipping, they also do returns and they’re run by cubers who know what they’re doing.

I've bought plenty of puzzles from Aliexpress. Local cube stores will typically have better customer service and faster shipping, but ordering from Aliexpress or cubezz or ziicube is generally a good bit cheaper.
