Ali mostly, but you should always double check items from Amazon if the price seems too good to be true.
I've been buying Samsung branded chargers for my cell phones from Amazon for the past 15 to 20 years and I'm not convinced that any of them are genuine. I don't know if paying a higher price on Amazon guarantees a real Samsung product. The only thing I've bought from Ali is an unbranded silver pipe tamper that was 1/3rd cheaper than eBay.

Hell, even Amazon, you can sometimes get screwed. And, places like Harbor Freight seem have made an industry out of selling tool shaped garbage. Guys who want something that looks like a drill press in their garage, but burns up the motor as soon as you run it once.
I wouldn’t buy a dial indicator from them, but I’ve purchased 8 toolboxes from them for my millrights.
They’ve got their place.
