Two days or three weeks: that is most of what separates these six. AliExpress, Temu and SHEIN are built around the long wait and the low price. Amazon Shopping and eBay are built around the opposite, and Wish is the cautionary tale of the set. Returns, tracking that updates, notification pressure and the charges that appear at checkout are all on the page. The photographs on a listing are marketing, and we treat them as marketing.

Verdicts at a glance
- AliExpress - Shopping App 6.0/10 A budget shopper's goldmine with real caveats around shipping, quality consistency, and privacy.
- Wish: Shop and Save 4.5/10 Cheap by design, but the value proposition collapses quickly once you factor in quality inconsistency, slow shipping, and difficult returns.
- Temu: Shop Like a Billionaire 5.0/10 Eye-catching prices for throwaway purchases, but the data practices are a real concern and the quality floor is too low for anything you actually depend on.
- SHEIN-Shopping Online 4.5/10 A technically excellent shopping app built on a supply chain and privacy record that deserve serious scrutiny before regular use.
- eBay online shopping & selling 7.0/10 The most capable mobile interface for the eBay marketplace, though the UX has rough edges that simpler shopping apps have long since smoothed out.
- Amazon Shopping 7.1/10 The obvious choice for Amazon purchases, though the app's promotional design often works against efficient browsing rather than for it.
