Amazon is only slightly better than AliExpress here, lots of bullshit recently, but at least they are faster. But if you look closer you often find the same stuff from AliExpress for more than three times the price there. So far I only had one or two issues with AliExpress, but as a rule I tend to not buy anything that goes on my body or food, has batteries in it or is worth more than 20 (very rarely more than 100 due to my countries custom rules) bucks with the exception of microelectronic components.
Etsy has been good for me if you look for actual local sellers or digital products - Only once has an issue there,that was clearly dropshipped. But most of the stuff I buy there is a digital download from some obscure graphic artist anyway. Nowadays I more and more tend to use Fiverr for that and get properly made to order graphics anyway.
