I think it's wrong to blame Aliexpress as they are a facilitator and not the 'part supplier'.
Aliexpress act as a go-between, take the order and hold your money until you have the goods from the seller and have responded that you are satisfied with them. It is only then that the supplier gets paid. There is a time limit in which you have to respond or they automatically pay the supplier when the time runs out.
I've made several purchases via Aliexpress and found it to always work well. One supplier sent photos of the goods (20 laser printer cartridge chips) in their individual anti-static bags and the outer packet with the address label before they sent them. Arrived in 8 days and at a total cost of £4.00.
