I have bought torches and batteries from there (and others on PH too), can't vouch for other stuff but the stuff I have is legit.

Out of all the chinese suppliers, Banggood has been the only one that ive had trouble with.
Aliexpress and gearbest have been fine but banggood have had issues with almost all orders, Either nothing delivered, delivered dead on arrival etc and they are a massive pain to deal with. They were trying some dodgy stuff with paypal as well.

I've had no problems with cheap stuff but something more pricey and complex I'd be a bit more cautious.
I got my Ender 3 Pro from Reprap world (Dutch) good balance of price and the feeling of dealing with a proper company.
You'll end up modding any ender 3 eventually so it's not a big deal but I'd avoid the old E3 v1 and get either the E3 Pro or E3 v2. Happy to offer any advice I only started in April but you pick up a lot in a short time.

They are certainly better than AliExpress...
You can also insure your parcel against getting charged tax at customs
Though nothing has been stopped yet.
If stuff doesn't arrive, prepare to wait up to 60 days but they will eventually refund you
Both orders with them never arrived, whereas everything with AliExpress has been fine (touch wood) You can also insure your parcel against getting charged tax at customs

Has anyone bought anything from here? Is it legit?
I was looking for a cheapish 3d printer and they have the Ender 3 cheaper than anyone else. I know that model has had some revisions and maybe its an older model. Are they knock offs?
Whatever you do, DO NOT use your main email address when you order! They send out several spam emails every day and the unsubscribe link is completely ignored.I was looking for a cheapish 3d printer and they have the Ender 3 cheaper than anyone else.

I have used several times. Never had a delivery fail to arrive.
Its actually pretty good for unusual items, I guess there are smaller manufacturers in China who can sell direct to the public.
However, if you get a delivery in sub 14 days I would say you are doing very well.
Its usually a month or so IME. I would not spend more than £50 on something from Banggood just in case something really goes squiffy. Or use credit card.

I got my Ender3 V2 from Technologyoutlet, it arrived next day.
If I had ordered from banggood it was cheaper, but shiping time was something like a month. By the time I upped the postage and took the customs charges refund it was the same cost or thereabouts and would still have taken about a week IIRC.
I've used banggood in the past, but whatever I've ordered has always been in the UK warehouse.
