A resident of Porto Alegre, in Rio Grande do Sul, bought a product on the AliExpress website that promised to warn about radars and speed controllers on roads and urban areas. The equipment, popularly known as “Chinese Radar”, promised to issue a sound warning whenever the driver approached a speed controller, popularly called “sparrows”. However, the equipment did not work, causing frustration and becoming a joke for the buyer.

The man, who prefers not to identify himself, is a regular consumer of internet purchases, but confesses that he has been deceived a few times. Delighted with the functions offered by the “Chinese Radar” and its affordable price, he bought two pieces of equipment: one for personal use and the other to give as a gift to his son. The delivery of the product, which came from China, took about 90 days to arrive.
After installing it in his car, the buyer realized that it didn’t work. With doubts about the quality of the equipment, he installed the second product, which he would give as a gift to his son, but it did not work either. Worried, the man sought information from the website that made the sale and discovered that several people were reporting the same problem.
The buyer then discovered that the equipment that promised attractive functions only worked in China. Even frustrated, he presented his son with the equipment and jokingly indicated that he would have to go to China for the product to work. Despite the good mood, the man regretted not having paid attention to the product and not having researched the opinion of other consumers who had purchased the same equipment.
Internet shopping has become increasingly common in Brazil, especially on international sites such as AliExpress. However, it is important for consumers to be aware of the origin of the products and check the reviews of other buyers before making a purchase. Furthermore, it is important to remember that products sold in other countries will not always be compatible with Brazilian conditions.
