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...

I work in repair and we often simply use eBay. We do sometimes get items from AliExpress when it isn't available on eBay however. We usually use eBay because shipping is generally much faster, and easier to return defective items (plus batteries from there are sketchy at times).

Depending on the part there may be other suppliers, like in the US we have used bright focal for laptop screens and there are likely different suppliers for Europe.
