Too good to be true?

[AnDroid0587]

Hey everybody, new to the forums here. Well at least posting in them, I can be sort of an introvert . I am looking to get some empty dropper bottles in a pack of at least 100. I stumbled across these on ali express and they just seem too cheap to be true... 5 cents? Anyone had any luck on here? I know the place isn't exactly reputable. I'm not really in a hurry to get them either so that's not much of an issue.

Oh and I guess I can't post links.... bummer

Maybe if you can give us enough information to Google them up we can give you some thoughts...

This the site you're planning to use?
Well obviously the link I was going to post isn't going to work either, but .......... has some vulnerability issues.

I wasn't sure about forum rules as far as using tricks to post a link. Lets see how this works. m(dot)ali(space)express(dot)com/item/2043479598.html

Just gives me a 404 error.

Go to fasttech or amazon not 5 cents but still some good deals in bulk specially amazon I've gotten them as low as 30 cents I bet 100 plus can go lower

If the ali deal is real they love their crazy shipping

Ok well replacing the dots in the hacker news website with ali express brought me to the page. Apparently that place is bad enough that ecf censors their name from the forums. I will assume it probably isn't worth the risk, especially if they haven't addressed the security flaw in their website. I have been trying to at least get my price down to 12 cents per bottle and haven't had luck since my lucky ebay auction a few months back.
I think I'll just be patient and watch for a good deal.

Thanks for the links everyone! I know I am being a cheapskate ha ha.

Ali.Express has been banned from ECF. That's why you got the 404 error because the URL posted was blocked. If you google the complaints about orders placed through them you can pretty much figure out why. So the "too good to be true?" part - pretty much.

Thanks for asking this question, Android. I was going to buy some bulk items from them, but after finding out they've been banned from EFC, I think I'll pass. Thanks for the info, Rick.
