Some of my family members started using those online shopping and delivery services not too long ago, and I've been seeing names all over saying that they're "the best".

I wanna try one of them, mainly buying clothes initially and eventually electronics, but I need to make sure which one is trustworthy so I don't waste money and time on nothing at best and getting scammed at worst.

The names I am well aware of are Temu, Aliexpress, and Ouedkniss. The one my family tried was a name I forgot, but it's an Algerian service.

This may sound weird, but long story short: one of my earbuds' sound stopped despite its touch control still working, so I opened it and found the cable that is supposed to be attached to the speaker torn. I searched how to solder it without the soldering iron and found some tips.

The question is: would that be a huge mistake? The reason I wanna do it alone is... Well... Let's say repair shops in my area don't really do anything to help, at all.

A while ago, I asked about not having gift cards available in the region, even though Algeria is stated in the available regions' list. After that, I was getting a bit bored and sought a solution by contacting support. They answered today that even if a region is listed as available, certain offers aren't, but said that they introduce new offers now and then, and to make sure I check the redeem catalogue every now and then.

My question here is how correct any of this is. I'm not holding my hopes up on lies, yknow?

Note: If this is wrong, I may try the risky path and use VPN. And while the loss is gonna hurt (aka, getting my account banned), the only thing that I'd lose is a long time of daily searches is all.
