Best place to buy replacement parts for a laptop? (self.asklemmy)

I've got a Dell G3 3579 that's in a dire need of a battery and a bottom panel replacement. I've thought of buying them off aliexpress, but I'm a bit skeptical of it... So ig my question is whether it's OK to buy stuff like replacement laptop batteries off aliexpress.

E: I've checked, amazon does not ship to my country... I'm also technically asking if anyone knows any trusted good replacement battery manufacturers that I should look for...

edit: meant in general, not just amazon, added other

Any site you go with, I would make sure to triple check labels, reviews, warranty of laptop and the one offered by website.

Maybe more expensive, but warranty for a year, Newegg/Amazon/other also has some, and the one you mentioned.

Random search brought up Newegg:

NOTE: There are 3 different batteries for your Dell laptop model and they are NOT compatible, please compare your original battery with our photos to make sure it can fit. Type: Lithium-Ion Technology Voltage: Fit 7.6V Dell laptop Capacity: High Performance 62Wh Cell: Premium Quality 4-Cell Warranty: Full One Year Compatibility: 100% compatible with specific laptop models, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless performance. CE and RoHS Certification: Certification ensures that the battery complies with safety and environmental standards Long-Term Reliability: Our batteries are engineered for durability, with a focus on maintaining consistent performance over time.

I've thought of using Amazon, but it's not really a thing in my country, I don't even know if they ship here, furthermore I've never shopped on Amazon before, so I have no idea how it works...

(I just checked, Amazon does not deliver to my country and Newegg is an American thing afaik)

And even further more, I don't know which are the "trusted" replacement battery manufacturers

Yea Dell machines can refuse third party batteries even if they're physically identical

It's worth checking for that
