I want stuff from that site, no doubt.
But I wont budge.

I had a motorcycle part arrive in the country from Aliexpress after 4 weeks. NZ depot sent it back to China for no reason at all. Aliexpress has had to re post another, so another 6 or so weeks wait. You just couldn't make this shit up...we're in trouble people.

Three to four times as much.

I bought a couple of things recently. An ultra sonic cleaner took 2 months, scope rings 4 weeks.

Last two small items were no longer than ten days using "free shipping".

last couple things ordered Nov 7th, arrived 18th, that is the quickest I've ever received anything form Ali

Complete stuff ups,
One purchase said I had recieved & signed for in Singapore, nice but delivery address is ChCh. Next the seller kept refering me as the seller, only provide Chinese order No so no NZ tracking, asked the seller for a refund aftr corrispondance when 2 weeks late, AliExpress gave a date if no refund had happened by they would step in, receive E mail on that date! from AliEx deal finished.
I've had it, closed down, good luck, just don't need the hassle.

Quickest item was less than a week for one of those cracking little 18650 headtorches, but mostly 10-14 days. Had no blowouts or ballsups yet. I just approach it like an investment, never buy anything a can't afford to lose (or not have turn up).
