Third Party Tech websites I bought stuff from and how it went
I needed to buy some electronics that were very expensive or their legitimacy was concerned on Amazon and Flipkart so I just googled and started ordering stuff from various sites willy-nilly. Here are the experiences of the same.
The list of products I got here from are a lot. Great website, a lot of cheap products sometimes the cheapest when compared to others here. Super fast delivery also. Most products worked just fine, those that didn't have been only specified.

✔️⌚ WLY602040 400 mAh 3.7V single cell Rechargeable LiPo Battery → used in fixing the old controller whose battery had died . Works alright. Haven't really played with this controller for now to confirm how it's performing later. I did have some issues with it connecting but it turned out to be a dongle that was badly placed so I am unsure about it.
✔️JST-SH-1mm-2 pin Female Housing Connector with 300mm Wire(30 AWG) → Got in April 2025 as connector for the replacement battery inside the R46S which I suspected to be faulty. Haven't yet tested.
❌⌚ 18650 3.7V Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery 1C - 1200mAh (Hongli)→ Got in April 2025. Seems alright for now. Long term testing pending. I kept wondering why my racquet doesn't last long with this new battery and then I realized that even a simple thing as an 18650 battery that they sell is fake.
❌ Magnifying glass has scratch marks all over it.
❌ KP: 3.7V 3500mAh Lithium Polymer Rechargeable Battery→ Got in April 2025 as a replacement for the battery inside the R46S which I suspected to be faulty. Haven't yet tested.
Although the battery has quite a lot of scratch marks over it to which the company said on mail that it shouldn't effect the performance of the battery. What I suspect is that the cover is put on from an older battery but considering the price I am okay with it as long as it performs well which I still have to test. Later it turned out it's a completely dead battery. It has 0V and I tried reviving it for a long time but it simply wouldn't so I have contacted them and haven't heard from them yet. I had to solder JST pins on them so even if they did want a refund, I think I would be eligible. I guess I will have to buy another product from them to test if they do the same with every product or not.
A quick google search cleared that they are like this all the time so I am cancelling my next order and closing my account with them.
My final mail to them:
"I got three products from you, this Li-ion battery which is dead, an 18650 battery that doens't hold charge and a magnifying glass set that has scratches all over it.
I am sorry but I am done with your company. This is enough evidence to tell what you're doing. You could have just provided a replacement battery when I first showed the issue but you want unboxing video, then you want a video proof, then you want to diagnose this over the phone.
One quick google search tells me that this is your normal process to stop customers for getting a refund/replacement.
DELETE MY ACCOUNT AND ALL MY PERSONAL INFORMATION YOU HAVE ON ME. I DON'T WANT TO DO ANY BUSINESS FROM YOU ANYMORE or make anyone else do it."
