I have bought a few brands that are recognized across the world from the Chinese online shops that I mentioned in my OP post. I can gladly report my experience.
Rock Zircon headphones: I have bought these headphones after reading reports that their quality and sound was great and even better than some very expensive headphone brands like Beats. I ordered my first pair on Gearbest and got them as promised after two weeks (delivery time was 14 to 21 days). The package was good and everything was in good condition. The reports and reviews were right. Superb sound and good quality for just as little as around 10 €.
The funny thing here was that Amazon Germany had them on preorder for 20 €+. So I got them rather from the source which is China anyway and didn't have to pay an inflated local price. A few months I odered two more sets to gift them to relatives. Unfortunately this order took over a month to be delivered due to shipping issues but it did arrive in good condition and working. I even got the second generation at that time already although that wasn't mentioned on the site.
Xiaomi hardware: I have bought my Xiaomi Mi Band 2 from Gearbest and it came with free priority shipping. It arrived within less than 10 days and the package was in good condition. The Mi Band 2 was in perfect condition and working. I still use it. It is the original and no fake. And again this smart watch was available locally but for double the price. I got it in a flash sale for under 20 €.
While I was in Russia I bought a Xiaomi Mi Pad 3 through one of the shops. It was ordered on Sunday and three days later I could pick it up. The original thing. Fully working and in perfect condition. It even included a EU power adapter for the charger. I use it right now to write this post.
On Banggood I ordered the Xiaomi Wiha 24 Bit set and got it quickly due to cheap priority shipping. It was the real thing. A neat screw driver with 24 different bits in perfect sizes to fix phones, consoles and other small devices. I use it already and really love it. Paid only 19 € while it goes for almost 30 € on Amazon or other local stores.
As mentioned before I ordered the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite phone and the smart watch Mi Band 3 a few days ago from GearBest. It was shipped out today with free priority shipping. Should arrive in 8 to 17 days.
NesPi Case+ Raspberry Pi cases: I have bought two original NesPi Case+ cases for the Raspberry Pi SBCs from TomTop. Both came within the promised delivery time and in perfect condition. I compared it with the official case and it was 100% the same. So no fake. Everything works perfectly. Paid only 11 to 15 € while here in Germany the prices are around 20 to 25 €.
If anyone is interested I can post some photos of the items.
