Aliexpress is fine, I've used it to buy a coffee grinder and it was really easy. Your item may take weeks or a month to arrive but it will come.

Havent used shimano pads for ages unless in a new caliper.

I buy my brake pads from uberbike now. I always wait for a bank holiday when they have a 25% discount.

Try them, you won't be disappointed.

I bought loads of genuine Shimano xt/slx pads last time they were £4 a pair on Amazon, but that was two years ago, not seen them as cheap since.
