I use them both, after all if i wont pay Traxxas money i have to get my cheap Chinese car fix from some place  but back on topic i prefer Banggood given a choice China to UK is about a week and price is often decent, also i did recently have an issue with an order on Aliexpress and found the refund policy hard to work with and seemed they did not want to issue refund so yeah 1st place for me is Bangers

Both have been fast delivery for me about 5 working days from china to my door step. AliExpress seems to have more choice than banggood unless i'am not using the filter system correctly 😅.

 

Never had to delt with a return or broken kit yet so don't know about that bit yet.

Used both, I prefer AliExpress. Banggoods packaging left something to be desired(mainly being properly package and not kicked around before sending😂). Otherwise they were fine enough. Never dealt with returns etc there so no opinion on that. The lack of choice and at the time I found their site to be a bit rubbish for whittling down choices. 
I use AE more now, they’ve sorted any issues well and promptly, more choice, reasonable delivery times depending on what seller etc, have good discounts on when they have an event etc. I find AE has more unique items that are not available elsewhere. 

 

It’s a bit of a difficult thing to measure sometimes though as Banggood are their own outfit(aren’t they?) and AliExpress is a bit more like eBay when it’s a store front and AE are a logistics specialist.

Banggood is a shell of it's former self. Years ago I'd buy all sorts from Banggood and almost everything came with free shipping. Now I see plenty of things won't even ship to the UK. I've only been using AliExpress for a few months. Partly because I can't find some stuff anywhere else.
