I would say, stay away from Ali Express at all cost. It is due to the reason that they are unable to control whether the seller selling a counterfeit, or is a scam, or it is a good seller. Sometimes you lucky that you get what you want, sometimes your money might just thrown into water.

It is much better to buy from a more reputable website, like tabletennis11 or ttnpp or anything else.

I have bought from eacheng before and they are legit. You will pay postage of course, but it isn't a killer if you buy several items to spread out the cost. Sometimes shipments get lost, I had that happen to one of them and they re-sent the shipment after a couple months went by and it was certain the parcel would not arrive.

In general, trying to buy from the absolute lowest price source often gives you more trouble than it is worth. Simply wait to accumulate enough items to buy (from a trusted place) and the shipping cost per item is reduced when you do that and overall, you get a good product at a reasonable price.

Thank Will, for summing up the pros and cons about eacheng.

Yes i now avoid buying from the cheapest possible places. Too many sellers out there prepared to sell fakes. I'd rather buy
from a reputable dealer and be sure of what I'm getting.
