I do not recommend buying anything from abroad these days due to logistics issues thanks to the pandemic.
They take forever to come.
While items are indeed taking a long time to come, they are reaching. Shipping is delayed, and much longer but active. Eventually things will go back to normal, but it is what it is. You can either sit down for anything from 6-18 months, wait (and hope!) for things to normalize, then order and receive your stuff in another 3-4 weeks, or you can order now and get it in say 3 months (exaggerated).
The whole world is going to have to learn to live with the virus, that includes us, and AliExpress. So if it's something urgent, order local and pay the premium, if you can wait, order from AliExpress and sit tight for a couple of months.
