If you're buying hardware that has any possibility of harming someone or doing any amount of non-trivial damage if it fails from AliExpress or Amazon, you're doing it wrong and should reconsider whatever it is you're doing. Even the hardware from HD is generally pretty shitty these days. If you can't afford or won't go buy it from Fastenal or MMC or somewhere reputable, where you can expect the hardware you're buying actually adheres to a stated grade or spec, you just shouldn't do it.
