Has anyone bought a USB wall charger from Aliexpress? What was your experience like? (lemmings.world)

I'm looking at the prices compared to Walmart, and the difference is significant. Are these legit?

It also looks like none of the plugs are an American standard. Does anyone know why that is?

Other brands are a way better value and work just as well (if not better), for less.

I have many Anker chargers (some from years ago) that still work fine and cost half of what Apple charges. And I've never seen a Google charger, when I haven't owned a Google device until a year ago. Do you think the Sony or Samsung branded ones are actually made by them?

Plus with brands like Anker you can get chargers with 65w capacity and multiple ports - I have one that has 2 C ports and an A, so it does both PD and QC, something you won't get in a 1st party charger.

I have Anker ones as well, but I also have Anker devices that have been recalled because they catch on fire.

Apple is a name I am confident recommending.
