Other sites like aliexpress please?

Are there other sites like aliexpress as I'm trying to source a product that one of my customers has asked about, and which a handful of other sellers are selling, but I can't find it.

I've tried Aliexpress as it is the sort of thing they might carry, but no luck.

    Aliexpress is the most user friendly. There's madeinchina.com, and another with initials that I can't remember right now.
    I've never used madeinchina so can't vouch for it.
    There's also alibaba and some like that which are less straightforward for buying but can end up with better deals.

    Tmart, though they tend to be a little more expensive.

    DHgate is really expensive compared to Ali, also Alibaba is owned by Aliexpress I believe.
    Soo, try messaging sellers of similar items, they are usually falling over themselves to help

    Alibaba is B2B and Aliexpress is B2C.
