I've used AliExpress several times for deliveries to California, with good results.  The first time was maybe seven years ago when my Mexican silver money clip broke in half, and I ordered a more 'sophisticated' stainless steel model from Shenzhen for US$3.50 delivered.  Took a few weeks to arrive.  I have also ordered larger items, such as curtains that have come in multiple boxes.  AE facilitates and supervises the transactions, like EBay, and I have never had a problem, except for the well known fact that Asian clothing sizes are tiny for gringos, so go XXXLarge, depending.  Many items probably violate IP laws - I doubt that the Trout Mask Replica, Butthole Surfers or Schoenberg Tshirts I ordered were properly licenced.

Of course, delivery to Mexico is an entirely separate issue about which I am interested to learn.  And just two days ago, the US 'government' started to withdraw from the international mail regime which subsidized such AE deliveries from China, and this could have a major impact on shipping costs to the States, which have been ridiculously low.  (I once ordered a specialty data cable for US$ 1.70, delivered.)

add2,

My understanding is that nobody relies on the Mexican mail delivery to the home for anything important.  Were your AE deliveries to your door, without pickup notices directing you to a Post Office, or through a delivery agents' address?  Thanks.

Delivered by the regular post office guy, to my door.
